Show notes

If you’ve spent time on social media this summer, you’ve probably come across the satirical lyrics of "Man in Finance" that have taken TikTok by storm—written and performed by our guest today, Megan Boni. We’ll dive into the inspiration behind her lyrics, the critiques she’s received, and how she’s navigating her newfound financial success, including her approach to market investing. We’ll also discuss “skinvesting,” meaning the behaviors and habits that support skin health, as Megan and I are both partnering with SkinCeuticals, the #1 medical skincare brand, to promote a new investment for your skin: the peptide serum P-Tiox.

Later in the show, we’ll be joined by triple board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mamina Turegano to explore further the concept of #skinvesting, the science of skincare, and how to invest in your skin at any age—whether you’re 12 or, like me, in midlife.
