I’ve been fortunate to be a part of a number of podcasts and radio broadcasts. Dianne’s effortless and gracious on (and off) air presence made my interview delightful. I was bummed when we were done, as I wanted to keep chatting with my engaging friend. The fact that we were being broadcast was beside the point, as it usually is when the conversation is navigated by a skilled interviewer. Great fun for me!
John GreathouseI had the pleasure of being a live guest on Dianne’s Money Talk radio show. Dianne is the definition of authentic and engaging. She has a gift for connecting to people and is a master at facilitating informative, entertaining, and even humorous discussions about deep or serious topics. You can tell she truly enjoys spreading knowledge to help those live more informed and fulfilled lives through her radio show. As a guest, she puts you at ease immediately and makes it feel like your catching up with a good friend.

Dianne, Neil and their guests share actionable and inspiring lessons on how to become a better investor and (more importantly) a better overall person. Highly recommend listening and subscribing to Money Talk 1290 if you want the knowledge AND mindsets to reach your overall business goals (and achieve financial freedom as a result)! Finally, a practical financial podcast.
Love this podcast. With so many podcasts being purely theoretical, Money Talks it gets straight to the point and gives some practical and actionable advice. Thank you and keep it up!
