Designed for ambitious young adults who are starting their careers, building businesses, or trying to make smarter financial decisions, Must Be the Money tackles the questions audiences say are rarely answered honestly. From managing debt and building credit to investing, real estate, taxes, insurance, and long-term planning, each episode breaks down how wealth is built—and why access to that knowledge has never been equal.

Viewers will hear from a venture capitalist who demystifies early-stage investing and explains why economic inclusion drives startup success; an Oscar-winning film producer who shares a raw story of reinvention and rebuilding after public failure; and an NBA champion-turned-media mogul who sits down with his sons for a vulnerable, cross-generational conversation about money, investing, and generational wealth.

With an authoritative yet relatable host and guests from diverse backgrounds, Must Be the Money meets young Black and Latino audiences where they are—offering practical guidance, hard-won wisdom, and inspiration that goes beyond traditional financial education. It’s not about shortcuts or hype. It’s about clarity, confidence, and showing what’s possible.]]> en https://feeds.publicradio.org/public_feeds/must-be-the-money American Public Media podcasts@americanpublicmedia.org episodic false https://img.apmcdn.org/b736f068d5d46d524f84b8b6551ed7df74975d17/uncropped/793350-20260514-must-be-the-money-logo-2000.jpg https://mustbethemoney.org 01KRPHH01DVT2MFBKVJ49EBHW6 American Public Media From South LA to the world's largest asset management firm, Jabari Magnus breaks down the financial moves that truly matter, saving from your first paycheck, building credit the smart way, and letting compound interest do the heavy lifting.
