Voices worth learning from

The people and publications behind the resources across this hub: educators, authors, and creators who write publicly about money. We link to what they publish, and say what you'd learn from each.

This is a reading list of public work, not investment advice or an endorsement. Being listed here does not mean anyone has offered to advise you.

How this list works

Everyone here has a public body of work on money: books, blogs, podcasts, newsletters, courses. We link to those public channels and say what you'd learn. That's the whole list.

We don't publish anyone's email or phone number, and being listed here doesn't mean someone has offered to answer messages or advise you. Read their work first.
