As this month comes to a close, we think it's only fitting to reflect on what July's incredible guests have had to say, and what new knowledge and perspectives they've brought to the table. This week we are back with Ginger and introducing a more structured Round-Up, where we will be revisiting topics from this past month's episodes and discussing our favorite moments and takeaways. While the subjects of this month's episodes have varied from spending for happiness to understanding Roth conversions, there is still more to learn and unpack before moving onto August!
