AskDadWhy is about gaining confidence with basic principles in personal finance and technology so that you can make smart choices about earning, saving, investing and spending your money and time. 

 I've noticed that my own kids and their friends, even though they are digital natives, have huge knowledge gaps when it comes to money and tech, and this podcast is inspired by their questions.

I’m Charlie Stern, and I am the host of AskDadWhy.

Do you have FOMO because you didn’t buy Bitcoin when it was $10?  Do you know the difference between a mutual fund and an ETF?  What makes one digital wallet better than another?  What is multi-factor authentication?  At the rate I’m going when will I wipe out student loans?

Through my own stories, interviews with industry leaders and current events, I will try to shine the light on these kinds of questions so you can have the financial life you’re already working for. My commitment is to offer you something you can really use in every episode.

Money and technology are very closely linked today.  To access the capital markets and the American Dream, you need to understand some things about BOTH.  This podcast is here to help make sense out of things you might not have learned in school.  

So please tap the follow button and join me on this podcast journey.  Expect 1 new podcast each week, plus I stream live on Reddit on Mondays and Thursdays at 8 Eastern.

I’ll try to give you the same straight answers I would give my own kids.
