In the podcast, we're going to find out.

Co-hosts Stacy Johnson and Miranda Marquit are joined by producer Aaron Freeman. Today's special guest is former financial advisor, bestselling author and financial educator Kevin Matthews from BuildingBread.

Remember, even though we sometimes talk about specific investments on this show, don't take them as recommendations because they're not. Before investing in anything, do your own research, and make your own decisions.
