The show provides an accessible entertaining way to provide this information.

The series is hosted by Wharton School of Business graduate and former Wall Street professional Ross Mac and Andini Makosinski, Inventor, Public Speaker, and host of Your World on Money, another show on Million Stories.

Global data and technology company Experian sponsors The Finance Couch and returns to the Singleton Foundation family after sponsoring HeartBroke and Your World on Money, shows that are both featured on the Million Stories platform. The exclusive sponsorship is part of Experian's  United for Financial Health initiative, which aims to empower and protect consumers to improve their financial health through education and action. 

"Sometimes talking about money can be confusing and intimidating. One of Experian's goals is to normalize conversations about financial topics, especially among young people.
