Hey everyone, it's Rima. Here on Make Me Smart, we break down the business and economic news of the day and what it means in our everyday lives.

But when you peel back the layers, you hit something even more personal, which is our relationship with money.

I am excited to introduce a new podcast that gets at the emotional side of money that we think you'll enjoy.

It's from our sponsor

Odyssey, and it's called What We Spend. In each episode, host Courtney Harrell talks with one person

as they document a full week of their lives and all the ways money has factored into it.

People from all over the country, all walks of life, share the ways they make money, the ways

they spend it, and all the thoughts

and emotions they have along the way. The conversations are intimate, thoughtful, often fun,

sometimes emotional, and they're all very real. I hope you all enjoy it, and as you listen,

be sure to search for what we spend wherever you listen to your podcasts.

It adds up for everyone.

We just don't usually talk about it.

But imagine if we did. Imagine if you could ask someone anything you wanted about their finances. How much do you make? Who paid for that fancy dinner

you went to the other night? What did your house actually cost? How would you describe your

relationship with money?
