Gebbia Media Launches Pretty Money, a New Podcast, Breaking the Taboo Around Money

Ariela Weston, Host of Pretty Money

“I loved working since I was a child at a local shoe store, but in the years to come I began to associate money as taboo to discuss. I even felt bad about the idea that I loved earning money. That always stuck with me: that hush-hush mentality surrounding a paycheck or a well-earned bonus at a job was something I would later carry into adulthood.”

Ariela Weston, Host of Pretty Money

“The idea is about fostering a sense of confidence for viewers as they hear stories from those they admire and realize most people don’t have it all figured out; raise your hand in class, ask that scary question when you’re in a math class in high school, share what you’re making at your job with supportive colleagues at work, be comfortable enough to stand in the power of educating yourself even if you’re starting at square one…because most of us are.”

“Money is deeply personal, but too many people grow up feeling like they should already know all the answers”

Ariela Weston, Host of Pretty Money

“This show is about asking the questions people are often afraid to ask and hearing from people who have experienced success, setbacks, and everything in between. The goal is to humanize conversations about money through shared stories and experiences that inherently are the building blocks of community. If we all need money to survive, why aren't we able to talk about it more openly?”

Richie Gebbia, Co-CEO of Muriel Siebert & Co.

“Pretty Money represents the kind of storytelling we want to build at Gebbia Media”

Richie Gebbia, Co-CEO of Muriel Siebert & Co.

“Financial literacy doesn’t have to feel like a lecture. Culture, entertainment and personal stories can open the door to conversations people might otherwise avoid. With Siebert Financial supporting Pretty Money, we can bring those conversations to a broader audience.”
