1928: The Surprising Skill That Makes You Richer in the Age of AI

This episode may surprise you.

Because on a podcast about money, you might expect us to talk about budgeting, investing, negotiating, or saving more. And don’t worry; we’ll get to all of that.

But today, we’re talking about a skill that quietly underpins every one of those things. A skill that compounds just like investing. A skill that strengthens your career, your confidence, your earning power, and even how you advocate for yourself in life.

We’re talking about writing.

In a hyper-AI world, where polished, generic language is now the floor, the ability to think clearly, express yourself distinctly, and tell your story has become a superpower.

And that’s why I invited back someone you may remember from a past So Money episode: Terri Trespicio.

Terri is a writing expert, teacher, and the author of Unfollow Your Passion. [She is also the co-host of a brilliant new podcast called Gen Artax where she and her sisters read from their adolescent diaries and journals.] She works with professionals across every industry, from engineers to executives to creatives to scientists, helping them clarify their thinking, stand out in crowded, automated spaces, and reconnect with their own voice in an age when it’s very easy to outsource your thinking to a machine.

In this conversation, we connect some unexpected dots:

• Why writing is a form of critical thinking — not creativity reserved for “writers.”
• How AI can help after you do the thinking, but can’t replace it
• Why your career, your money story, and your confidence all depend on your ability to articulate what you know, want, and believe
• And how writing can even help us process financial baggage, scarcity, and fear, especially as many of us enter the sandwich-generation years
