A Thousand Natural Shocks With Gabe S. Dunn
Gabe Dunn | Diamond MPrint Productions
After years of attempting to "girlboss" his way out of systemic class divide, Gabriel Shane Dunn, now a trans man and veteran podcaster, relaunches his show, “Bad With Money,” with a furious, funny, and deeply personal exploration of surviving our capitalist hellscape. Ditching conventional finance advice, “A Thousand Natural Shocks,” is a companion show to Gabe’s thriving newsletter of the same name. This isn't just about money; it's about breaking free from the individualistic lies and fighting for collective liberation. Capitalism is killing us. The police state is killing us. Fascism is killing us. But we can no longer feel helpless. We can resist.Send a question or voice memo to GabeIsBadWithMoney@gmail.com.

REPLAY: OUR BIG BAD DAVE RAMSEY TAKEDOWN with Financial Feminist Tori Dunlap
tw: diet culture, domestic abuse, suicideHello, my sweet Jesus-loving, gazelle-intense debt-free heroes. It's time to talk about finance's big bad Santa, Dave Ramsey, with one of his biggest public critics, HerFirst100K's Tori Dunlap. This week, Gabe and Tori break down and take down Dave's newest book "Baby Steps Millionaires: How Ordinary People Built Extraordinary Wealth--and How You Can Too."

In the US, 3 million people work mainly for tips and yet financial advice never takes them into account or gives them practical steps to financial stability.
