Julien and Kiersten, the couple behind the award-winning blog and forthcoming book, rich & REGULAR®, are known for their pull-no-punches yet humorous creative storytelling about life and money. In this episode, Julien shares with host Joe Saul-Sehy about the early days of rich & REGULAR and his priority (then and now) of getting the message and heart of their brand figured out first before focusing on making money.

You’ll also hear why Julien believes all creators should “be willing to be human” and focus just as much on being as entertaining as they are educational. Plus, Julien shares some behind-the-scenes insights on how he and Kiersten create their current video series, Money on the Table.

There are few things we enjoy more than getting together with the FinCon Community each fall.

It’s the highlight of our year, and we work the other 51 weeks of the year to make it an exceptional in person experience for Personal Finance creators and brands.

So it just sucks to say we’re not going to be able to gather in Long Beach in September.

We’ve spent the last few months working with the Long Beach Convention Center and it was not a decision anyone took lightly. However, given COVID-19 and the ongoing pandemic, it is simply impossible to hold #FinCon2020 as scheduled and cancellation is our only option.

It’s been a strange season for events, and we appreciate your patience as we’ve navigated this time of uncertainty.

While we’re completely bummed about #FinCon2020…

[Wait for it…]

We are thrilled to announce that #FinCon2021 will be taking place September 22-25, 2021, at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas!
