In this trailer episode, the hosts of Fireside Finance pull up a chair and explain why the podcast exists in the first place. Nate Baumann, a Certified Financial Planner™, and Josh Franken, a Certified Public Accountant, share a familiar truth from years of client conversations: the same money questions come up again and again. If one person is asking them, chances are plenty of others are wondering the same thing.
Fireside Finance was created to answer those questions…one big idea at a time. Each short episode walks through the story behind a financial topic, why it matters today, and how it actually shows up in real life, whether that’s in a financial plan or a conversation with family or friends. The episodes are designed to be easy to fit into everyday life, about the length of a quick trip to the grocery store or the office.
The hosts also tease occasional bonus episodes that go a little deeper for listeners who want to explore the nuances. At its core, Fireside Finance is about making smart financial thinking feel approachable, practical, and even enjoyable…like a good conversation around the fire, where no one’s rushing, and the answers finally make sense.
