Episode 188: What do your financial health and overall health have in common? It’s a question we don’t often ask ourselves, or generally even consider for that matter. This week, tune in as Natalie seeks some answers with fintech and social entrepreneur, Maia Monell, whose goal is to build a world where everyone has access to financial capability.
