Money Mistakes Happy Hour Style
Today is the last Friday of the month which means it's happy hour time on the podcast. If you are new to the podcast, on the last Friday of every month I host a happy hour where I invite my friends on to drink cheap drinks with me and discuss various money topics together. This happy hour is particularly special as it's the first time that the four of us have recorded together in one place.We were fortunate enough to get a slot at the FinCon podcast recording stage so we were not only in the same room, but we also had an audience. I hope you pardon some of the sound quality and speaking over each other as it's tough to edit these live shows. As you will hear, though, we clearly enjoyed ourselves and had fun connecting with the audience as well.In case you missed Monday's post, Martinis and Your Money is now an award winning podcast!!!!! This humble little show beat out Bigger Pockets, Money Girl, Listen Money Matters and So Money with Farnoosh Torabi to win the Plutus Award for Best Personal Finance Podcast. It is a great honor and I thank everyone who has supported the show.If you have any show topics or suggestions for future episodes, please leave them in the comments. I am actively recording new material with awesome guests that I can't wait to share with you!
