What if you're not bad with money, and the advice you grew up with just stopped working?
On this episode of Fortune Daily, we talk with Haley Sacks, better known as Mrs. Dow Jones. She used her comedy training to build a personal-finance business with more than two million followers, a 100,000-reader newsletter, an online school, a podcast with Sony Music, and a New York Times bestseller, Future Rich Person.
Sacks explains why she thinks the old money playbook is broken for anyone under 45. She walks through "action money," the difference between spending to look rich and spending to be rich, and why women should negotiate for equity, bonuses, and deferred compensation, not just salary. She also talks about the responsibility of giving money advice to millions without a financial license, how she handles brand deals, and where AI should and shouldn't help with your finances.
Plus, Fortune Senior Editorial Director Kristin Stoller sits down with WNBA star Nneka Ogwumike. She's retiring after 15 seasons while still near the top of the league, after leading the players' union through a landmark labor deal. Next, she's joining Project B, a new global league that travels from city to city like Formula One. Then, Energy Editor Jordan Bloom joins us to talk about what we should expect in the war with Iran heading into the midterm elections.
