Money Talk

Money Talk

Money Talk was born after the host, Skyler Fleming, realized that so many issues we all face with our finances could be solved with a simple conversation. He realized this when working at a credit union as a call center supervisor (ask him about some of the crazy stories from this job). Countless issues and situations were resolved after a simple money talk! So, after moving on from that job, Money Talk was born! With over 150+ episodes and nearly 4 years of creating content Money Talk continues to evolve and help everyone, young and old, get started with personal finance.
