A financial planner is like a money coach that can help you meet your money goals. Let's be honest: we all could use that. Historically, financial planners have gotten a bad rap as inaccessible to the 99% and just plain intimidating— but, it doesn’t have to be that way. Today, Nicole will prove it. Nicole calls up Brent Weiss, a CFP®-certified financial planner and Head of Financial Wellness at Facet— a financial planning company that is truly changing the game. Nicole and Brent do a little client-financial planner role play to make your first conversation with a financial planner easier. Then, they dig into which questions you should ask a financial planner to make sure they're legit, what goals you should set, and how to measure success. Claim Facet’s offer for Money Rehabbers, and the list of questions Brent recommends you ask a prospective financial planner here: https://facet.com/moneyrehab

Originally aired 5.31.22

Today, Nicole sits down with financial educator Vivian Tu to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of finfluencer-land. They talk about the “financial advice” that keeps them up at night, how to confirm if a financial educator is legit, and they play a game of financial "never have I ever" that you should totally try at home.   Preorder Vivian's debut book Rich AF here!

You’ve probably seen your favorite Instagram celebrity talk about entering their “villain era," which feels like it’s probably only good for reality TV villains.

A listener wrote to Nicole asking for advice: her father-in-law has high medical bills that he can't afford, and he can't get additional assistance from Medicare— which means his healthcare costs will fall to her. How can she stay afloat? Nicole walks her through the options she has to shoulder the financial burden.

Last week, the United States House of Representatives passed a plan to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel. So, clearly, the conflict in the Middle East will continue to be a big headline in financial news. A few weeks ago, Nicole interviewed Dan Senor, a foreign policy expert, who said that Israel is a country uniquely primed for resilience. But as the war wages on in Israel, resilience feels like it’s far away— or even impossible. To explain how peace could be possible in the region, Nicole talks to Israel's Ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor. Nicole and Ambassador Prosor talk about the future of the region, demystify some misconceptions about life in Israel and the question of a cease-fire. Ambassador Ron Prosor became Israel's 16th Permanent Representative to the United Nations in June 2011. With over two decades of experience at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Prosor has earned an international reputation as one of Israel's most distinguished diplomats. He served for nearly four years as Israel's Ambassador to the United Kingdom and served as the Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ('04-'07), overseeing the work of the Foreign Ministry during the disengagement from Gaza in 2005.

In recent weeks, there has been a ton of money news that is nothing short of… ridiculous. And to give us some comic relief around these headlines that are almost too bananas to believe, Nicole talks to someone who knows a thing or two about ridiculousness, it’s Steelo Brim. Steelo is an art collector, a comedian, a restaurant investor, a musician, and, yes - one of the hosts of MTV’s Ridiculousness. You’re going to hear from Steelo again on another Money Rehab episode all about the ROI on art investing. But for now, we’re headed to the Wild West of money news.  To learn more about Steelo's projects, keep up with him on Instagram @steelobrim

Originally aired 9.27.21 You may have heard that debt consolidation is one option to help get that debt monkey off your back. Today’s episode is all about unpacking the nitty gritty of debt consolidation, and how to decide whether it’s the right move for you.

Originally aired 4.15.21 Nicole covers exactly how much should go toward your essential spending, what the heck you have to put toward retirement, and how much you get to spend on the fun stuff: vacations and bottomless-mimosa brunches.

Hi friends, it's Nicole. In today's episode, I wanted to check in on you. I wanted to take a moment to give you space to reflect on how you’re feeling amidst all the darkness that’s going on in the world, and also, give you a sense of where I’m at with Money Rehab...

There's an assumption that cryptocurrency is particularly useful to bad actors and terror organizations... but how true are these assumptions? This is a question on the top of Nicole's mind as she continues to follow the money trail of Hamas' terrorist attack in Israel. To help her answer this question, Nicole speaks with Ari Redbord, the Global Head of Policy at the blockchain intelligence company TRM Labs.

Jordan Fried was fully living the entrepreneur life in Puerto Rico... until the attack in Israel happened on 10/7. Then, Jordan found himself chartering, and then boarding, a plane to deliver aid to Israel. To make an impact on the ground in Israel, Jordan and his cofounders started their nonprofit Israel Friends— and casually seeded it themselves with a couple million bucks. But as Jordan will tell you, you don’t need a million dollars to make a difference. Jordan walks through the strategy he used to build a network of helpers of all kinds, and how you can too. Before that, Jordan tells Nicole what it was like being in Israel in the wake of the attacks, and stories from the survivors he's met.

While she hopes she's wrong, Lizzy Savetsky doesn't think there will ever be a Tel Aviv spinoff of the "Real Housewives" reality TV franchise. Lizzy's uniquely fit to answer this question; she was cast as a member of the Real Housewives of New York, but received so many hateful and antisemitic messages, she decided to remove herself from the cast. Nicole and Lizzy talk about what that experience felt like, which television shows do a good job of representing the Jewish experience and which ones fall short, and what it was like for Lizzy to be in Israel with her children on the day of the terrorist attack.

360,000 army reservists were called up after the attacks in Israel on October 7th; but VC partner and former IDF soldier Levi Aron would argue, we were all called up. Nicole and Levi unpack the many different ways we can all stand up to support the causes we care about— with our wallets, our social media accounts, our companies, and more. Find the statement from the VCs standing with Israel here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTc_OIs8MSVxqz0To2diHiDd_UIQBg_wBHLnmIQNtoTRQaFrC2ZcUWiOqR7dHMe2KnfnU-Bi7n-1XpW/pub

It's human to feel afraid to speak out on an issue that is surrounded by anger and division— especially at a time when people are getting fired and backlash for voicing those opinions. But according to Nicole, it's good business; and Nicole's guest today, Dr. Sheila Nazarian, can prove it. Find Sheila's fundraiser for FIDF (Friends of the Israel Defense Force) on her Instagram @drsheilanazarian

Do you know who you’re voting for? And more importantly, what they stand for? Trust us, in the next elections— hate will be on the ballot, so make sure you’re not voting for it. Beyond donating to political campaigns, you can also run in them. That’s what Consuelo Hernandez did, a Jewish Latina politician who is currently serving as a member of the Arizona House of Representatives. Today, Nicole shares a sneak preview of Consuelo's episode on MNN's Money Maker | Mi Mundo Rico podcast hosted by Nely Galán where Consuelo gives a roadmap of how you can get involved in local politics— as a politician, or as a citizen - and why several acts of violence against her family drove her to choose a life in politics, and make a difference.

It sounds counterintuitive, but it's true— and it comes from Nicole's reflections on Israel's resilience and wondering: what does the path to rebuilding look like? To unpack the question of Israel's future, Nicole is joined by author and foreign policy expert Dan Senor. Their conversation spans the startup landscape in Israel, the question of aid from the United States, how a country in an unstable region could rank so highly on happiness and yes, Nicole's realization that she wants to have kids.

In a word: yes. We're seeing it play out right now. Multiple high-profile people have lost their jobs after making insensitive comments about Israel on social media.

Your money is a vote; but it's not just where you spend it that matters, it's also where it comes from. Nicole knows people who have taken jobs at companies with iffy ethics and investments from nefarious sources. Do the ends justify the means? Nicole explores that question with Dr. Charles Small, a terrorism finance expert who founded the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy. Dr. Small illuminates the money trail of funds to American universities from Qatar— a country known for supporting terror groups, including Hamas, the group responsible for the attack in Israel last week. Then, Nicole is joined by Peter Rahbar, a workplace legal expert and lawyer, on what entrepreneurs should do to make sure their investments don't come with unethical strings attached.

To help explain how the war in Israel affects you and your money, Nicole calls up Peter Tuchman, broker on the New York Stock Exchange, and host of the Money News Network podcast Trade Like Einstein. Peter and Nicole talk about how the stock market has responded to the attacks in Israel - and more broadly, how you can expect the markets to respond in times of crisis.

Some argue we have a responsibility to share our beliefs, while others believe social media is not the best forum to affect change. Jason and Nicole, alongside marketing expert Aliza Licht, give you the framework to decide when and how to engage with political topics on social media— and if engaging is right for you at all.

To unpack the topic, Nicole is talking to someone unexpected: Ben McKenzie. You might be surprised to hear Ben’s name in connection with this conversation - and if you are, he gets it. Most people know Ben from starring in the TV show The O.C., and fewer people know him from his economics degree. But both are on his resume. Nicole and Ben talk about the systemic issues that made them both skeptical of crypto from the jump, Ben’s meeting with the infamous Sam Bankman Fried, and how to look for financial red flags.

Originally aired 6/10/22 In the early 2000s, a group of teenagers collectively known as "The Bling Ring" reportedly stole over $3 million dollar’s worth of possessions from celebrities like Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton, Rachel Bilson, Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan and more. Over a decade later, a viral Vanity Fair article and a subsequent film still control the narrative of this story— not the people involved. If you watched the film, you might think that Alexis Haines (née Neiers) was the ringleader of the Bling Ring. So it might surprise you to learn that she was actually only at one of the break-ins, and at the time, she was addicted to heroin and dealing with the aftermath of abuse. Alexis will be the first one to tell you that stealing is always wrong. Full stop. But so long as her story is still being told in the media, she should be the one to tell it.  Alexis tells Nicole and Morgan her side of The Bling Ring story, her tips on manifesting money, the financial and emotional cost of reality TV, the latest on her divorce, the silver linings of her recovery journey, and everything in-between.
