In recent weeks, there has been a ton of money news that is nothing short of… ridiculous. And to give us some comic relief around these headlines that are almost too bananas to believe, Nicole talks to someone who knows a thing or two about ridiculousness, it’s Steelo Brim. Steelo is an art collector, a comedian, a restaurant investor, a musician, and, yes - one of the hosts of MTV’s Ridiculousness. You’re going to hear from Steelo again on another Money Rehab episode all about the ROI on art investing. But for now, we’re headed to the Wild West of money news. To learn more about Steelo's projects, keep up with him on Instagram @steelobrim

What do the NFL, Goldman Sachs, Twitter and SoFi have in common? That would be Anthony Noto - veteran executive and Nicole's guest today. Nicole and Anthony talk about what people should be able to expect from their banks, why SoFi bought a stadium, and Anthony's response to Elon Musk's plans to get into the payment space.Watch SoFi's Face of Finance video referenced by Nicole and Anthony here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xzfceq29ts

Originally aired 9.27.21You may have heard that debt consolidation is one option to help get that debt monkey off your back. Today’s episode is all about unpacking the nitty gritty of debt consolidation, and how to decide whether it’s the right move for you.

Originally aired 4.15.21Nicole covers exactly how much should go toward your essential spending, what the heck you have to put toward retirement, and how much you get to spend on the fun stuff: vacations and bottomless-mimosa brunches.

Hi friends, it's Nicole. In today's episode, I wanted to check in on you. I wanted to take a moment to give you space to reflect on how you’re feeling amidst all the darkness that’s going on in the world, and also, give you a sense of where I’m at with Money Rehab...

There's an assumption that cryptocurrency is particularly useful to bad actors and terror organizations... but how true are these assumptions? This is a question on the top of Nicole's mind as she continues to follow the money trail of Hamas' terrorist attack in Israel. To help her answer this question, Nicole speaks with Ari Redbord, the Global Head of Policy at the blockchain intelligence company TRM Labs.

Jordan Fried was fully living the entrepreneur life in Puerto Rico... until the attack in Israel happened on 10/7. Then, Jordan found himself chartering, and then boarding, a plane to deliver aid to Israel. To make an impact on the ground in Israel, Jordan and his cofounders started their nonprofit Israel Friends— and casually seeded it themselves with a couple million bucks. But as Jordan will tell you, you don’t need a million dollars to make a difference. Jordan walks through the strategy he used to build a network of helpers of all kinds, and how you can too. Before that, Jordan tells Nicole what it was like being in Israel in the wake of the attacks, and stories from the survivors he's met.To support Jordan's work, click here: https://www.israelfriends.us/

While she hopes she's wrong, Lizzy Savetsky doesn't think there will ever be a Tel Aviv spinoff of the "Real Housewives" reality TV franchise. Lizzy's uniquely fit to answer this question; she was cast as a member of the Real Housewives of New York, but received so many hateful and antisemitic messages, she decided to remove herself from the cast. Nicole and Lizzy talk about what that experience felt like, which television shows do a good job of representing the Jewish experience and which ones fall short, and what it was like for Lizzy to be in Israel with her children on the day of the terrorist attack.

360,000 army reservists were called up after the attacks in Israel on October 7th; but VC partner and former IDF soldier Levi Aron would argue, we were all called up. Nicole and Levi unpack the many different ways we can all stand up to support the causes we care about— with our wallets, our social media accounts, our companies, and more.Find the statement from the VCs standing with Israel here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTc_OIs8MSVxqz0To2diHiDd_UIQBg_wBHLnmIQNtoTRQaFrC2ZcUWiOqR7dHMe2KnfnU-Bi7n-1XpW/pub
