This week’s guest is Bob Wheeler, founder of “The Money Nerve” and the host of the podcast “Money You Should Ask”. The financial expert and motivator is also the author of a book (The Money Nerve: Navigating the Emotions of Money) and he offers a course “Mastering the Emotions of Money”.

On his podcast, Bob seeks to remove stigma of shame around financial literacy. He also addresses money and emotions in his chats with guests. The book “The Money Nerve” is about how to get healthy about money and conscious of issues around money.

Bob and I chat about his work as a comedian both in the time that he was starting out and then making it at The Comedy Store where he is currently the CFO. He was already a CPA when he started doing comedy and when Mitzi Shore called him to help with the finances at The Store he said yes.

Bob’s approach to his work is practical but he also brings compassion to his clients. He can demonstrate empathy for others in a constructive way because he has been “there” where many of them are.

Note from Rabiah (Host): It was a lot of fun to talk to Bob. I always remember the feeling I had during recording when I edit and this was a nice and easy edit! I think what struck me most about Bob was that he is able to be funny but also take people’s issues around money seriously. He felt like a kindred spirit in a way. Brené Brown is an influence on him. When taking to someone who has read her and done “the work” on themselves it is almost obvious because of how they communicate and what they communicate. There is a common language. Brené has a new book out this week too so this episode is fitting.
