Picture the moment at the end of dinner with a friend when the bill arrives and you lock eyes with one another, silently asking…how should we split this? It’s awkward, and it’s one of many conversations about money – small and big – we have to navigate with the ones we love. We’re diving into mutuals & money in this episode with a story from Kristen Meinzer (author and host of How to Be Fine, Daily Fail and many more) who lent money to a friend with the right intentions, but the wrong logic. We also hear from financial expert Gigi Gonzalez (aka The First Gen Mentor) who spills all her etiquette tea around talking money with friends.  Please note, The Dough contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.    This series was created in partnership with Flourish Ventures, an early-stage global investment firm backing mission-driven entrepreneurs and industry influencers working toward a fair finance system for all.
