Authentic Desires or Marketing?
À propos de ce podcast
How do we find meaning in our life with money?
In a culture where money shapes nearly everything we do—yet remains taboo to discuss—Money, Meet Meaning explores how faith and wisdom traditions have long grappled with wealth, possessions, and purpose.
This award-winning podcast features candid conversations, practical insights, and centuries-old teachings brought into today's world. The podcast was created by Interfaith America and Tom Levinson and co-sponsored by Apella Wealth, in partnership with the Religion News Service and Princeton University’s Faith and Work Initiative.
From spending and generosity to technology and consumerism, each episode illuminates timeless guidance for navigating our financial lives—whether you’re religious, spiritual, or simply searching for meaning in money.
Season 1 was named Best Religion Podcast by the Religion News Association and received an Award of Excellence from the Religion Communicators Council (Wilbur Awards).
