Our religious and wisdom traditions actually have a lot to teach us – and have for millennia – about one of the great sources of stress and struggle in our contemporary lives.
Money, Meet Meaning inhabits the seldom-visited intersection of “Personal Finance” and “Religion & Spirituality.” Each episode will unearth practical insights and shine light on the varied ways our wisdom traditions pave a path – whether you’re religious, spiritual, or none of the above – for navigating our complex financial lives.
The Chief of External Affairs & CFO at Interfaith America, Amber’s passion for finance has earned her the nickname “Budget Hacker”. She has been featured in Women’s Day magazine for her personal finance work, and has written about religion and the workplace for Harvard Business Review. Amber holds an MBA and is a Christian: her commitment to interfaith cooperation and conversation is inspired by Jesus’ call to love your neighbor.
In his work as co-Managing Member of Park Piedmont Advisors and co-founder of LK Advisors, Tom helps guide families toward thoughtful, values-driven uses of their financial resources. Tom is also a Harvard Divinity School graduate and a frequent writer on religion, spirituality, and American society. His commitment to interfaith cooperation and conversation is inspired by the deep ethical wellsprings of his Jewish tradition.
The birth of a podcast: Interfaith America founder and President Eboo Patel turns the table on hosts Amber and Tom to hear how Money, Meet Meaning came to be — and the wisdom of talking about what we learn about money from our respective religious traditions.
Is there a spiritual dimension to budgeting? What do budgets have to do with a life well-lived? Jesse Mecham – Wall Street Journal best-selling author, and founder of YNAB (You Need a Budget), the hugely popular personal finance platform – reflects and explores with Amber and Tom.
How do we raise kids who are financially and spiritually literate? Amber and Tom get the gift of well-earned wisdom and practical guidance from entrepreneur, investor and microlending innovator Jessica Jackley, and her husband, NY Times best-selling author and scholar of religions, Reza Aslan.
