What is Long Story $hort?

Long Story $hort is a podcast about debt: how it happens, what it does to us, and how we can move past it.

By sharing stories and insights from financial experts and real people who have overcome debt, we hope to begin breaking down the stigma surrounding debt, and in turn making it easier for people to get the care and support they need and deserve.

If you're navigating your own debt story, have an interest in personal finance, or simply like listening to people sharing their wins, we hope you'll subscribe so you don't miss any future episodes.
