Bonus: Show Me the Money with Mrs. Dow Jones

Author: Lemonada Media April 18, 2023 Duration: 44:22
This bonus episode was made possible by Flourish Ventures. Today, V learns hard money lessons in an easy way with “zillennial” financial expert Haley Sacks — or, as her droves of followers know her, Mrs. Dow Jones. As it turns out, it can be fun to learn about finances, especially when your teacher wields compassion, pop culture references, and financial advice especially geared toward women. Haley and V talk through which kind of bank account best matches your needs and help you learn how to avoid financial pitfalls driven by emotion. In other words, personal and personable tips to make money work for anyone.   Follow Haley at @mrsdowjones on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.

In a media landscape that often feels frantic and fragmented, V Interesting with V Spehar offers a different pace. Hosted by the TikTok news phenomenon V Spehar of Under the Desk News, this weekly podcast from Lemonada Media is built on a simple premise: some stories need more room to breathe. Moving beyond the minute-long format, V uses this space to pull on the threads that get dropped in the daily churn, focusing on the nuanced and curiously human details within larger headlines. The show dedicates time to the complex, enduring issues that shape our world-the kind that defy easy soundbites and demand thoughtful exploration. It’s a blend of clear-eyed explanation and personal perspective, all delivered with V’s signature style. Each episode of this podcast feels like a necessary decompression from the noise, aiming not just to inform but to connect the dots in a way that makes the news feel comprehensible and, yes, genuinely interesting. You’ll hear V’s sharp commentary, find context where it’s often missing, and engage with the parts of a story that typically linger just under the desk.
