Networth and Chill with Your Rich BFF

Vivian sits down with Tank Sinatra, the meme king behind @tanksgoodnews, @influencersinthewild, and his personal account @tank.sinatra, to talk about what happens when jokes become a business and viral moments reshape the way we think about money. With over 15 million followers, Tank breaks down the meme economy, what brands are actually paying for a single sponsored post, and why meme culture, think GameStop and Dogecoin, is quietly changing how a whole generation thinks about wealth and value.

In this episode, you'll learn:

1. What the meme economy actually is and how to know when a meme is worth investing in, and when it's cooked, straight from one of the biggest meme account moguls on the internet.

2. How much creators like Tank really make, from the breakdown of income across platforms to what a single brand partnership post can pay, and why major companies are throwing serious money at joke accounts.

3. How meme culture has reshaped the way we define value, wealth, and smart money moves, and what that means for your own financial thinking in a world where cultural currency drives real markets.

Why You Keep Getting Paid Less Than You Should

It's Vivian's birthday and she's giving YOU the gift. Turning 32 means it's time for 32 real life and money lessons. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1. Why you should never take advice from anyone you don't want to be, why the harder path isn't always the right one, and the small daily habits that actually move the needle on your finances and your life, way more than grinding on hard mode ever will.

2. Why individualism is quietly making you broke, why you should never take the first salary offer, and how negotiating, not just at work, but in every area of life, is the skill that separates the people who get what they want from the people who leave money on the table.

3. The real lessons about love, friendship breakups, family and money boundaries, and learning to sit with the hard stuff instead of running from it. Plus why rest, spite, and a popsicle in the shower might be the most underrated tools in your arsenal.

32 Life & Money Lessons I've Learned at 32

Vivian sat down live at SXSW with California Governor Gavin Newsom for a candid conversation about why everything feels so expensive right now, how the government is and isn't showing up for everyday Americans, and what it will actually take to close the wealth gap.

In this episode, you'll learn:

1. How Governor Newsom's upbringing between two very different worlds — his mom working multiple jobs and his dad's connections to the Getty family — shaped the way he thinks about wealth, power, and opportunity, and what his experience as a small business owner taught him about the difference between running a company and running a government.

2. The biggest financial obstacles standing between Americans and a better quality of life today, why generational wealth and the housing crisis sit at the center of the problem, and what policy changes could actually move the needle structurally.

3. How to think about the role of government in your personal finances, what resources already exist that most people aren't taking advantage of, and what Governor Newsom believes is flying under the radar that every American should be paying attention to right now.

4. What Governor Newsom would do if he could pass one economic policy tomorrow with zero opposition, whether AI will make inequality worse before it gets better, and — because Vivian had to ask — what's actually next for Gavin Newsom.

What It Actually Costs to Build a Beauty Brand From Scratch

Vivian takes the stage at 92NY in New York City for a live book tour celebration of her second book, Well Endowed — and Heather McMahan is there to make sure things get a little chaotic. In front of a packed crowd, the two sit down for an unfiltered, hilarious, and genuinely eye-opening conversation about money, financial honesty with your partner, real estate and so much more.

In this episode, you'll learn:

 
1. What Well Endowed is really about — the thesis behind the book, why Vivian wrote it, what she wished she knew before she started, and the ideas she kept coming back that made her realize this needed to be a whole second book.

 
2. The biggest money misconceptions people have about getting older and building wealth, why the personal finance conversation has shifted dramatically in the last few years, and the core wealth-building principles she believes are non-negotiable no matter what the economy is doing.

 
3. Why everyone needs to understand trusts and wills. Plus, the estate planning basics Vivian breaks down in Well Endowed, why most people put it off until it's too late, and the surprisingly simple steps you can take right now to protect your wealth, your assets, and the people you love, no matter how much (or how little) you have in your bank account.
