A Thousand Natural Shocks With Gabe S. Dunn

First, an announcement! A brand new co-host is joining the podcast for a chunk of episodes! They're going to join for some mailbags, answer your questions, become our collective money guinea pig reporting in the field, and learn about financial topics from their unique, beginner's POV (you know, one that isn't Gaby's). Then, to honor the 7th anniversary of the passage of Obergefell v. Hodges on June 26, 2015, Gaby and their partner Mal Blum have a frank discussion about the long history of gay marriage, where we were when gay marriage passed, our future as a couple, and what the recent overturning of Roe V. Wade means for queer and trans people.  tw: homophobic language, trauma, the AIDS crisis, abortion and death, racism For a full transcript of this episode, visit: https://bit.ly/3IfgeQH Gaby Dunn Instagram: @GabyRoad BWM Instagram: @bwmpod BWM Facebook group: http://tinyurl.com/badwithmoneyfb The BWM Discord channel: https://discord.gg/dAdxj4JMER Find Gaby on Patreon: patreon.com/gabydunn Shop gabydunn.com/shop for merch!

Stay tuned for the end of the show when Gaby makes an announcement about some HUGE changes coming to the format of the show -- and maybe an addition of a ...co-host?!? You're not gonna wanna miss this. And then, a good old fashioned Q&A with Rachel Rodgers, author of We Should All Be Millionaires, using your questions from the email address, Discord server, and Instagram comments and DMs. We talk about the benefits of being annoying, being a Black capitalist, family members and addiction, and you know, actual financial advice. Do we agree with everything she says? No! But is this a very fun, educational, and chaotic interview? Absolutely! PLUS, who the hell shaded Gaby on their close friends Insta story for promoting myself???

Did you know trans people make more money than other members of the queer community in some cases?? Why do LGB people experience higher rates of financial anxiety when dealing with banks and the government? What is "cascading homophobia?" This week, Gaby breaks down the BRAND NEW in-depth money study about financial discrimination against queer people. The Debt Free Guys John and David, husbands and hosts of the Queer Money podcast, co-conducted the BIGGEST, most current, and most specific LGBTQ survey to update the financial findings about our community. This is the first study and poll of its kind at this level and Gaby and the guys go over all that we learned about the experiences of LGBTQ people around finances. You're not gonna wanna miss empowering yourself by learning all this real, new data and what it means for you and the queer community.

This week, we have an in-depth email criticizing our medical tourism email from a Mexican listener, another email about medical liens, and another about doing medical testing studies for money. Then, an email from Mary about being a caretaker for a disabled child and who money media leaves behind in this world. Next, some discussions on the Discord channel including a Canadian reflection on the owning of property and ethics of landlords, a vouching for Geoblue insurance for medical tourism, deciding if pet insurance or a veterinarian is a scam, and an incredibly detailed look into veganism from a speaker on the vegan circuit who talks about if veganism is an “eating disorder.” This one is a DOOZY.

What does it mean to turn a profit when your metric of success isn't necessarily money? This week, Gaby talks to Dr. Alex Ketchum, who studies the queer, feminist and lesbian history of restaurants, about how to run a lesbian and feminist coffee house, bar or bookstore, the long and fascinating history of women-run, queer, and feminist spaces in the US, and Gaby's own torn ideas of being community-minded while needing to sell their work. Then, Gaby speaks to the Fiscal Femme Ashley Feinstein Gerstley about how women learn business at traditional business schools, getting certified by WBENC as an official women-led/women-owned business, and the limitations of "financial adulting." This is a very informative and thought-provoking episode. Get into it!

Ok on today’s show, Gaby reads a 5-star Apple review and some discord comments about our Dan Olson crypto episode and in what order listeners should check out the Part 1 and Part 2 episodes. Then, a funny email from Darci about corporate pride, one from Anonymous about high childcare costs in the Bay Area, and one from Betty about a credit score error that went in her favor. Should she get it fixed? Or take the maybe-dangerous win for her credit? Next, an email about the ethics of participating in medical testing for money and a reply to our latest medical tourism episode. Finally, an email from Nadine about real estate investing and AirBNB worries, one from Ariel about pelvic floor physical therapy and medical debt, and another from Nirali explaining more about "carnism" in relation to our prior veganism episode with Christopher Soul Eubanks and Andrew Lowe.  For a full transcript of this episode, visit: https://bit.ly/3mO8QBP BWM Instagram: @bwmpod BWM Facebook group: http://tinyurl.com/badwithmoneyfb The BWM Discord channel: https://discord.gg/dAdxj4JMER Find Gaby on Patreon: patreon.com/gabydunn Shop gabydunn.com/shop for merch!

This week, Gaby reads an email about the financial mistake of becoming a parent, a defense of NFTs in light of our crypto episodes, a listener giving us the saga of their pet insurance woes, and how one fan became less panicked by listening to this show. Then, Gaby and their partner Mal Blum react to a very sweet voicemail from Cory, and Gaby shares some interesting TikTok discourse that happened because of our NFT artist interview with Klara Vollstaedt. And finally, Gaby has a new book and audio book coming out June 8 called "Stimulus Wreck" on Scribd Originals.  For a full transcript of this episode, visit: https://bit.ly/3QcXS6q You can listen to and/or read Stimulus Wreck for free for 60 days. https://try.scribd.com/dunn60/Gaby Dunn Instagram: @GabyRoad BWM Instagram: @bwmpod BWM Facebook group: http://tinyurl.com/badwithmoneyfb The BWM Discord channel: https://discord.gg/dAdxj4JMER Find Gaby on Patreon: patreon.com/gabydunn Shop gabydunn.com/shop for merch!

Creator of the exemplary explanatory video Line Goes Up: The Problem with NFTs Dan Olson joins Gaby to break down the ultimate scam behind cryptocurrency. Where did this whole idea come from? Why are people so evangelical about it? Is everything a lie? And why do some celebrities who promote NFTs get piled on? Dan's takedown is thorough and you absolutely have to hear it. (If you can't tell, Gaby is fascinated.) Run, don't walk! They swear this isn't mythmaking marketing based on nothing! They just wanted to look cool!

The exciting news of this episode is that a musician wrote a whole song inspired by the show! Gaby plays a bit of the song to their rave review. Then, a couple of short listener emails, five very kind 5-star Apple reviews all left within 48 hours for some reason, and a listener calls in to thank our guests in the ADHD/Autism and money episode. Next, in the discord channel we have a recommendation for a past episode with Chloe Cockburn about charity models, an experiment based on our recent episode about paying to date, and Gaby shares their research about Health Savings Accounts. And finally, Baby Velvet shares the beautiful song they wrote based on this very podcast called Bad With Money. Delightful! *slight correction - Gaby says you have to invest your HSA, but you don't have to! It's just recommended.

After avoiding it for years, Gaby finally deep dives into cryptocurrency and NFTs. This week, they talk to programmer Stefan Thomas, a man made famous for being locked out of his crypto wallet worth 200 million dollars. Stefan breaks down the origins of crypto and why his problem is not a bug but a feature. Then, Gaby speaks to NFT artist Klara Vollstaedt about the hype market around digital art, the difference between Bored Apes and non-fungible token fine art, and how the money moves circularly within the NFT space. Who decided the Mona Lisa has value? Plus, the trans ideal of controlling your perception online, the young people making tons of money off natively digital art, and how all of that merges with the futurism of art and money.
