Today's guest knows this very well. His name is Josh Levs. He is the perfect guest to help us celebrate fatherhood. He is the author of the brand new book, "All In: How Our Work Culture Fails Dad's, Families, and Businesses and How We Can Fix It Together." Did you know that half of all working dads would rather stay at home if their spouses made enough money to live on? And just like moms, dads struggle with work life balance and doing it all. Now, in addition to being an author, Josh is an award-winning broadcast journalist who often writes and speaks about modern fatherhood, and spent almost a decade reporting for CNN - on air and online - and serving as the network's "truth-seeker in chief". Prior to CNN he worked as a reporter for NPR. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today's guest was one of those people, and that was just a few short years ago. His reality - he dreaded his uninspiring 9 to 5 existence, he didn't know how to quit and start something he cared about. He eventually did figure it out and he managed to leave his corporate career - a very nice one by the way - of 15 years, and create a lifestyle that he actually craved. And his name is Jeff Steinmann, and he's gonna be telling us all about that journey and how we too can live a life that we want and work a job that we actually enjoy. Jeff is the founder of Bravo Experts, he's also the author of "How to Quit Working", which is actually a new podcast as well. Jeff also writes for several media outlets including the Huffington Post, Lifehack, and Elite Daily. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today we're speaking with an avid So Money listener, a real fan. He and I connected because of this podcast and just proof that if you like this show enough and you connect with me, you might be a guest on the show! He's a highly accomplished tech entrepreneur as well, not just a listener, but he is very, very successful. His name is Bill Dwight. He is the founder and CEO of Famzoo.com, it's an online and mobile banking service that's designed to help busy parents teach kids good money habits. It's been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Time, NPR, and it also will be featured in Money Magazine this July as I wrote about it a little bit in my July column for Money Magazine about how to teach your kids good allowance lessons. FamZoo's also featured in Ron Leaver's best seller of "The Opposite of Spoiled". Remember, Ron was on the podcast - that was So Money Episode 47. FamZoo was also voted Best of Show twice in 2011 and in 2013 at Finovate, which is the premier showcase conference for emerging financial technologies. Hosted on Acast.

We've got an amazing guest, Margaret Cho, and award winning comedian and incredibly creative performer who's often called "The Queen of All Media". She's conquered the worlds of film, television, books, music, and theatre. Her comedy tours always sell out, and this fall she'll be embarking on a new tour with her latest concert special "Psycho" which is all about Margaret's take on today's news and events. She'll also be appearing in the new movie "Tooken" which arrives on digital HD and video on demand later this month. It's a parody of the Taken Movie Series with Liam Neeson. Equally as important as your art is the causes she is passionate about. Margaret is widely recognized for her charitable work with gay rights, anti-bullying campaigns, and the homeless community which grew out of a tribute to her dear friend, Robin Williams.

We're gonna kick off the week with a very, very cool guest, Ryan Holiday. He's a thought provoking media strategist and bestselling author of three books, most recently, "The Obstacle is The Way: The timeless art of turning trials into triumphs." He has been responsible for a number of manipulative stunts and media controversies, and he's been accused of actually being a media manipulator which he writes about in his first book, "Trust Me, I'm lying." And he's only in his late 20's. After dropping out from the University of California at 19 to apprentice under Robert Greene, author of "The 48 Laws of Power", he went on to advise many bestselling authors and multiplatinum musicians, including 50 Cent and Tim Ferris.
