How much money do you make, and how do you make it? How do you feel about your money? How did you actually get that raise? That house? That life? It’s the show for financially-motivated people who want to go beyond Personal Finance 101: they want to hear the nuanced, messy, lived experiences of people making money decisions and building wealth.

The 55-year-old Maryland native was most recently the Director of Outreach Impact and Engagement for Federal Student Aid at the Department of Education, when she was put on leave and ultimately fired this year as part of President Trump’s executive order to dismantle Diversity Equity and Inclusion programs, even though her job had nothing to do with DEI. I'm talking to Quay as part of a series I’m doing on how the Trump administration is affecting individuals’ personal finances.
