It's time to talk money. Who's sweaty? Jordan and J.T. welcome Ed Vargo, the Co-Founder and CEO of Burning River Advisory Group and EnlightenHer, to discuss and demystify our finances. Ed believes a financial education shouldn’t make you feel small; it should make you feel powerful.

Ed’s passion for helping women with their finances stems from his childhood. His mother, an immigrant from South Korea, had four children with his father. After getting a divorce, she lost custody of her children due to her inability to support her family financially. Her unfortunate lack of financial literacy fueled Ed’s passion to empower women so that they can move through divorce confidently and without fear.

- Financial coaching: so, it doesn't need to be overwhelming, condescending, and confusing?

- The most damaging money myths we need to bust
