Fortune Favors the Bold Helps Break Assumptions about Money
PURCHASE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Money: people love and hate to talk about it. They want to make it, they
want to use it, and they love having it, but when it comes to actually
thinking about it, how we get it, how we use and how it helps or hurt
us—that’s when people start to ask questions.

Enter Fortune
Favors the Bold—Mastercard’s podcast created in collaboration with Gimlet
Creative. The complete second season is live, and with it, we’re
breaking down the barrier between people’s money hang-ups and the
achievement of real financial fluency.
Fortune
Favors the Bold is not your typical financial literacy podcast. We
don’t talk about budgets, APRs or stock tips. Each episode is dedicated
to exploring the assumptions, perceptions and unwritten rules that seem
to govern how we think about money—and about the people and companies
daring to break them and then break through to better opportunities. But
the first step to tearing down these long-established ways of thinking?
It’s talking.
“Even though people are hesitant to talk about money, what you’re going
to find out really quickly is that people want to talk about money,”
said Ashley
C. Ford, in Fortune Favors the Bold, Season
Two, Episode One: Upward Mobility.
Season One (also ripe for a binge-listen) asked questions about what
happens when we take risks, take control, and redefine our relationship
with money. We took on the future of work, talked to companies that have
been defining what it means to do well by doing good, and explored how
digital identities are key to accessing the digital economy, among other
topics.
Season
Two takes it all a step further: revealing the unwritten rules that
seem to govern our perceptions around Upward Mobility, Financial
Literacy, Creditworthiness, Reskilling, Smart Cities and Small
Businesses. Across all the episodes, we delve into new ways of thinking
about old rules—and the people who are rewriting them completely, all
with the hope that listeners can soon see the way to break the rules
themselves.
Mona
Chalabi, a data journalist known for her unique data visualizations,
debuts as this season’s host.
“We’re eager to create branded content that people not only want to
listen to, but also talk about,” said Marcy
Cohen, SVP, Digital and Creative Content, Mastercard.
Fortune Favors the Bold is available on Apple
Podcast, Google
Play Music and all other listening platforms.
