The Money with Katie Show

Katie Gatti Tassin turned a Morning Brew newsletter about money into one of the sharpest personal finance podcasts running today. The Money with Katie Show stands out because Katie treats money decisions as systems problems, not willpower problems. She'll take a topic like "should you pay off your mortgage early" and actually model it out with spreadsheets, tax implications, and opportunity cost calculations. Then she'll explain why the math might not matter if the psychological relief of being debt-free changes how you sleep at night. That blend of quantitative rigor and emotional honesty is what makes the show click. Episodes cover investing strategy, tax optimization, spending philosophy, career earnings, and the broader economic forces that shape individual financial outcomes. Katie talks about index fund investing, backdoor Roth conversions, and asset allocation, but she also tackles systemic questions about wealth inequality and how the financial industry profits from confusion. Her tone is direct and occasionally sardonic. She has zero patience for the kind of hustle-culture advice that tells people to skip lattes and invest the difference. Episodes run 30 to 50 minutes and release weekly, backed by the production resources of Morning Brew. The research is solid -- Katie cites actual studies, runs real numbers, and corrects herself publicly when she gets something wrong. The audience skews millennial, but the content is relevant to anyone who wants to think more clearly about the relationship between earning, spending, and investing.
