Krista Tippett is an icon of reflection and moral imagination. As the creator and host of the radio program On Being, Krista’s voice has been a steadying for millions of listeners over the years, guiding conversations about life’s biggest questions, and inviting us to think more deeply. Krista and Carl venture into the complex and often messy relationship that we all have with money. Not just as a cultural force, but as something deeply personal. Together they examine the stories we inherit, the paradoxes money creates, and the tension between our feelings of self worth vs. our measurements of net worth. Krista shares her perspective on her own journey with money, one that she admits has not been perfect, and continues to develop as she approaches the next phase of her life.

Teenage investor Chris Truong joins Carl to discuss why investing your money should be boring. At just 16 years old, Chris started a long-term diversified investing club at his high school - a club for ‘boring investment’, as he puts it - and it has grown from a club of 2 people - just him and his teacher - to over 40 of his peers. Chris emphasizes the importance of investing for long-term financial stability and the misconception that picking individual stocks can lead to quick wealth. He also highlights the influence of social media, particularly TikTok, in promoting risky investment behaviors among young people. The conversation emphasizes the importance of educating young investors about sustainable investment practices and the dangers of gambling-like behavior. When you invest like an adult or, in this case, like a 16-year-old, it's boring, but ultimately rewarding.

Comedian King Hassan has lived many lives - he’s a former police officer who somehow became a stand up comic and writer, now living in Los Angeles with his wife and three kids. He was born in Alabama to an American mother and Nigerian father, which led to often confusing and conflicting approaches to money, wealth, and identity. He and Carl discuss how he has embraced change and uncertainty in his career and how he has always found meaning in his work, a trait he picked up from his enterprising father. He also explains why he doesn’t find money to be a very funny topic, and the different approaches he’s experienced with money between being a police officer and a comedian.

Sharon Salzberg is a meditation pioneer, world-renowned teacher, and New York Times bestselling author. In fact, if you’ve come across the word ‘mindfulness’ in the past decade, Sharon has had a lot to do with it (at least here in the United States). On this episode of 50 Fires, Sharon shares how her experiences in India and Burma shaped her as a college student from New York City, where she witnessed the sheer generosity of people who had very little, and what it taught her about money and community back home in the U.S. They discuss finding meaning in work, and the role that intention and inner work should play when setting financial goals in relation to resources. As a result, Sharon emphasizes the need for even bigger aspirations in our lives while shifting our attention away from conventional ideas of success.
