This week, Jason is joined by Love Island season 7 breakout star, Olandria Carthen! Known widely as the Bama Barbie, Olandria played the long game in the villa and emerged as a fan favorite for her strength, poise, and genuine approach, not just in romance but in life. She is also killing it in the corporate career as well working at Otis Elevator Co. She is proof that brains and business acumen, and truth to herself can lead to a breakthrough reality TV star. Post-show, Olandria is balancing the corporate grind with modeling, brand partnerships, and living out her personal brand rooted in southern authenticity.  Olandria opens up about the uncertainty of how she'd be perceived by viewers, the misconceptions she wants to clear up, and the most surprising parts of watching the show back. She reflects on growing up as the oldest of six with a single mom, knowing modeling was always a dream, and the journey that led her to Love Island. She shares how she prioritized building a genuine connection, what her personal and professional plans look like moving forward, and why she's staying open to different career paths. Olandria also gets candid about her relationship with money, the way Nic makes sure she has equal opportunities, and the support she's found in her friendship with Chelley. She talks about how church keeps her grounded, her passion for community work, what she wishes she had done differently on the show, and how she manages her mental health while navigating a new reality. Olandria reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

Forget the Eiffel Tower, kids—we're climbing the recruitment rollercoaster instead. Upwork's shopping spree in Holland (Bupty? Buptie? Bupkis?), Denmark's going full Face/Off to keep Nic Cage off Viggo's jawline, and the UK is suddenly allergic to Fridays. Joel's out dropping Cole at college, so Chad is joined by Belgium's royal pain Lieven and Scotland's deep-fried-pizza poet Stephen McGrath. Loud Americans, entitled tourists, and the four-day work week—this one's got more punch than a Glasgow nightclub at 2 a.m.

Former IT consultant Ron Kinscherf shares how a backyard moment with his grandson sparked a rich universe of ant characters—and an 11‑book run in just four years. We dig into his newest book “Adorable,” the craft choices that keep parents engaged, and the quiet life lessons his stories deliver for kids and adults alike. Sponsored by Real Life Prosthetics Guest Bio:  Ron Kinscherf is a children's author from Illinois and the creator of the Papa Tell Me a Book series, now 11 titles strong in four years. He collaborates closely with illustrator Holly and works with publisher Morgan James after originally self‑publishing his early books. Before writing, Ron worked in IT and sales; his grandkids (five and counting) fuel many of his story ideas. Main Topics: ·         The origin story: a grandson stomping anthills inspires book one, “The Baker's Patio.” ·         From self‑publishing to Morgan James—and keeping IP and the original community art page. ·         Partnering with illustrator Holly (found via Upwork) and their storyboard process. ·         Visual style: grayscale with selective color (inspired by A‑ha's “Take On Me”) and hidden “Easter eggs.” ·         Writing for kids and adults: clear, high‑contrast text and layered themes. ·         Sample lessons: resisting “yummies” (listen to elders; love your kids anyway) and “I'm With Me” (healthy independence). ·         Strong women: the queen inspired by Ron's mother and a supportive community. ·         School visits and the “sponsor a book for a classroom” model.  Resources mentioned: ·         Ron's Website: https://papatellmeabook.com/·         Episode Sponsor: Real Life Prosthetics·         Supporter: Real Life Prosthetics·         Supporter: Full Circle Boards·         Supporter: SincereSend us a textDonate HereReal Life ProstheticsCutting-Edge Solutions.

Learn more about Triangle Credit Union   Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.   Many Americans often delay building a financial plan until they're much further along in life, typically waiting for unexpected circumstances to push them into action. This habit of postponing critical decisions can create unnecessary stress and limit our ability to grow wealth. Instead of taking charge, we allow life's pressures to dictate our financial choices, which can hinder long-term success.  If you're in your early, mid, or late 20s, now is the perfect time to prioritize your financial future. Don't wait for a life event to motivate you! Starting your financial journey now enables your money to grow and compound over time, giving you a distinct advantage.   Take the initiative to outline your financial goals. By working to develop healthy financial habits early on, you'll empower yourself to make informed decisions that will lead to lasting financial security. The actions you take today will pave the way for a brighter future—don't hesitate to seize this opportunity!  Here are a few practical things you can do in your 20s to start building wealth early:   PAY YOURSELF FIRST – Make it a point to develop good saving habits. Whether you're working part-time while in school or recently graduated and working full-time, whenever you get your paycheck, set aside a portion of your income into a savings account for emergencies or other savings goals. Any percentage is good, but somewhere around 10% is a widely accepted rule of thumb. Use a savings too like Triangle's Goal Builder tool within online and mobile banking to start your savings plan.  START INVESTING EARLY – Investing early in your 20s is one of the smartest financial moves you can make. The most significant advantage is compound growth—your money earns returns, and those returns earn returns, snowballing over time. Starting early also gives you more time to recover from market fluctuations, build wealth gradually, and potentially retire earlier or with more financial freedom. Explore financial resources, such as books, or connect with a financial professional to help you set up a solid investment portfolio. If you're ready to an investment journey, get started with Triangle's Financial Planning services. Visit trianglecu.org to learn more and get in touch! AVOID BAD DEBT -  Not all debts are created equal. Some are better than others. Bad debts are types of borrowing that do not contribute to building wealth or generating future income. They often come with high interest rates and are used to purchase depreciating items like clothes, electronics, or luxury goods that lose value quickly. Unlike good debt, which can be an investment in your future (like student loans or a mortgage), bad debt can trap you in a cycle of repayment without long-term benefits. Avoiding bad debt is important because it protects your credit score, reduces financial stress, and allows you to focus on saving and investing for your future.  LIVE BELOW (OR WITHIN) YOUR MEANS – Find a way to manage your money in a way that keeps you from overspending. Practicing good financial management habits can help reduce excessive spending, which might interfere with savings goals and even lead to increased debt. Understand your income and set up a budget that covers your living expenses, encourages saving, and allocates some money for fun, discretionary spending. Adopting frugal living, such as cooking at home instead of eating out, reducing food delivery services, and avoiding impulse purchases, is a great way to ensure you're living within your means and avoiding lifestyle creep. BUILD MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME – In your 20s, you have a unique opportunity to explore various skills that can lead to extra income streams. As you build your career experience, seize the opportunity to diversify your earnings. If you're training to become a teacher, consider tapping into the lucrative world of online tutoring as a side gig. Additionally, if you possess talents in writing, graphic design, video editing, or social media management, platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer are excellent avenues to generate extra income. With so many exciting options at your fingertips, you can boost your revenue while simultaneously refining your skills and expertise.  If there are any other tips or topics you would like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Mic Drop MomentsSometimes, life hands you a standing ovation for opening a stubborn jar, and honestly, that's the kind of energy we need more of. A recent study finds that every day “mic drop moments” are all around us. What is one of yours?Knowing the answer to a quiz showDiscovering when you go to pay for something it's actually discountedMaking someone laugh with a perfectly timed jokeSailing through multiple green traffic lights in a rowTicking off everything on your to-do listCatching something which has been thrown at you quicklyFixing a tech issue for someoneLife Before My Spouse/ My KidsAs much as you love your significant other, what is something you miss from being single:The lack of responsibility and obligations. The rush of 'firsts' — that first date rush/nervous feeling. Holding hands for the first time, first kisses, the first time having sex with someone. Not ever having to be accountable for random stuff I do around my own house. Being able to come home from work and not speak a single word.Deciding on what to have for dinner without a second opinion. Side Hustles That Could Lead To Full Time WorkAccording to a recent Gallup poll, more than 60% of Americans want to be their own boss. While a full-time job pays the bills and has benefits, it doesn't give you the freedom to be in charge, and that's what makes side hustles so appealing to some people.Tour guide - Being passionate about parts of your city and knowing how to show people around is the key and you can use sites like Facebook, Upwork and Viator to market yourself. Some tour guides report making an average of $100 to $300 per tour, sometimes much more.AI Services - Know your way around ChatGPT or similar tools? There's a demand for those skills.Online courses - Whether you've had some business success others can learn from or have hobbies or skills people are interested in, think about putting together an online course to sell on Etsy, Skillshare or Udemy.Medical coding - If you're properly certified and know how to review records for accuracy and help with data entry, this income stream can become a full-time job.Fashion designer - Several clothing and jewelry brands started as side hustles, so why not yours? One success story is Kate Sullivan, founder of Sage Vintage, who started the handmade jewelry company as a side hustle and brought in over $500,000 in revenue last year.Graphic design - Know your way around Canva or Photoshop? Sites like PeoplePerHour and 99designs can help you find your client base and as you build a portfolio and establish a reputation, your business could take off.Second Date UpdateFelicis calls about Nolan. They met on Hinge. They decided to go for burgers in Alameda After the date, Nolan ghosted.
