Welcome to the Fiscally Challenged pod! Here to have some frank conversations about money and emotions? Then you're in the right place.

In today's episode, I chat with Manny (he/him), an architect by day who started making and selling 3D-printed neon pots during lockdown to escape boredom and his newfound hobby of overconsuming pizza and wine. We chinwag about how he balances his 9-6 career alongside his 6-10 side hustle pots biz (MannyMadePots), and the challenges and stigmas of today's hustle or struggle culture. We confess our financial anxieties, share how we grew up around money, the impact of social media on our mental health and values, the generational gap, and have a good ole' whine about how 2016 kicked off the worst and longest episode of Black Mirror ever.

WARNING: You'll probably feel a deep urge to buy a 3D neon pot during or after this conversation and I 100% support you in this choice. Please visit his visually edible Etsy shop MannyMadePots and Instagram @mannymadepots to get thirsty for pots.
