How to Actually Save & Invest Money in a Failing Economy with Katie Gatti Tassin

How to Actually Save & Invest Money in a Failing Economy with Katie Gatti Tassin

Author: Sony Music Entertainment / Jonathan Van Ness June 18, 2025 Duration: 56:46
Money, money, money, money…MO-NEY! The Money with Katie Show host Katie Gatti Tassin here to talk with JVN all about how we can beat capitalism, get ahead, and get informed about the system that we’re all operating in - whether we like it or not! Katie’s new book Rich Girl Nation is out now.  Money with Katie was founded in 2020 by Katie Gatti Tassin to document everything she learned about personal finance on her journey to financial independence. As a former public relations major in corporate America with a penchant for swiping her Discover card, her obsession about personal finance hit her hard out of left field — and as she watched her net worth grow in tandem with her financial literacy, she realized just how valuable the information was. Sharing it with others became an obsession. She left her full-time job at the end of 2021 to devote all of her energy to building this business, and Money with Katie was acquired by Morning Brew in 2022.  Full Getting Better Video Episodes now available on YouTube.  Not A Phase.  Trans Lifeline Katie Gatti Tassin is on Instagram @moneywithkatie and @katiegattitassin  Follow us on Instagram @gettingbetterwithjvn Jonathan on Instagram @jvn Senior Producer, Chris McClure Producer, Editor & Engineer is Nathanael McClure Production support from Julie Carrillo, Anne Currie, and Chad Hall Our theme music is also composed by Nathanael McClure.
