Personal Finance For Geniuses w/ Adam Nash #797

… literally, we’re discussing why some of the brightest minds at Stanford University need just as much instruction for their money as the typical American. At such a competitive school, with one of the lowest acceptance rates, you’d think those students have everything figured out, but you’d be wrong! Our guest today, Adam Nash, is a personal finance enthusiast and adjunct lecturer at Stanford University. And today we cover topics like why he starts the course with behavioral finance and how prioritizing income over expenses can bring a traditionally dry subject to life. But beyond the classroom, Adam’s career spans roles at companies like Dropbox, eBay, and even Apple to just name a few that we use on a daily basis. And he’s currently serving as the CEO and co-founder of Daffy, which is a fintech platform centered around charitable giving. So even though it’s not December, we’re also going to talk about strategically giving your money away, why more folks need to consider donor advised funds, and how Daffy can help to make us all more charitable and generous individuals.
