When Heather Boneparth was eight years old, her grandfather screamed at her for wanting to give money to a homeless man on the side of the road. Years later, on his deathbed, his parting words to her were "all that matters in this world is your blood and your money."
In a rerun of this fan-favorite episode, Heather (attorney and director of business & legal affairs at Bone Fide Wealth) opens up to Chris Hill about the money lessons she’s spent her adult life trying to unlearn, as well as:
- The importance of sticking your neck out for people
- An event that made her feel back in control of her financial life
- Why interviewing relationship experts for her book felt like "two hours of free therapy"
- The best TV series about money
Check out Heather's book Money Together.

Kristina O'Neill spent more than a decade at The Wall Street Journal as the editor-in-chief of WSJ. Magazine. Then, in 2023, she got fired. The financial implications were immediate: a severance cushion, but no guarantee of what would come next in a media industry with few opportunities at her level.
Instead, she and Laura Brown turned the experience into the bestselling book All the Cool Girls Get Fired, and a podcast built on the same premise. Kristina talks with Chris Hill about:
- A childhood shopping trip that still shapes how she spends money as an adult
- The “unicorn” college she couldn’t resist
- Why she decided to stop hiding the fact that she got fired
- The money lesson she learned from covering the luxury industry
