Brian Curcio is this week’s guest, to talk about his financial literacy app Rapunzl and to answer Mike’s many questions regarding financial literacy, cryptocurrency, education and more!
In more detail, Brian explains why he & his partner Myles created Rapunzl before Mike asks questions surrounding the use of financial literacy, why there is such a gap in people’s financial knowledge, Brian’s opinions on investments and cryptocurrencies, what financial freedom is, how these questions can affect society as a whole and so much more – this conversation will hopefully widen people’s horizons on their own finances and get you to ask many questions yourselves!

David Curfiss of We Are Melomaniacs joins us for ep 204, for a discussion on trauma, “extreme” music, his books, his podcast and more! Please be aware this conversation contains explicit language.
In more detail, Mike & David’s conversation starts with David explaining why he started his podcast and how music and mental health/trauma go hand-in-hand, before delving into his music journey through rock, metal, grunge and the transition into heavy/death metal. The duo then talk about streaming & physical media, David speaks about the writing process for his two books set in a post-apocalyptic world. David then speaks about his trauma in more depth, including his childhood, how he’s changed over the years and more – this is a fairly deep & intense conversation but one that is really important, especially for those suffering with mental health issues.
