Most men get perimenopause completely wrong. Not because they don’t care— …but because no one ever taught them what’s actually happening. On the latest episode of the Money Matters Podcast, I sat down with Sam Anderson (tag him here), author of Perimenopause: The A–Z Guide for Us Idiots—and one thing stood out: 👉 The biggest mistake men make? They try to fix it. When in reality… ✔️ It’s not something to fix ✔️ It’s something to understand ✔️ And something couples need to navigate together We talked about: • Why men take symptoms personally (and why that...

We talk about how public radio built credibility over decades, why audiences still turn to trusted voices for deeper context, and how AI is changing production without replacing the human responsibility behind the microphone....

In this episode of Money Matters, Christopher Hensley sits down with Matt Halloran, author of Shut the F Up and Listen and Chief Evangelist at Zocks, to continue a conversation that began with one core idea: great advice starts with great listening. Now, that philosophy is colliding with a new reality—AI assistants. Matt explains why AI assistants won’t replace financial advisors, but will raise the standard for what clients expect.
