Money & a Good Life

Talking about the F word never sounded so good. Money & a Good Life is a podcast to help you manage your finances and make the most out of life. So what the F is this podcast about? Finances. Ryan Watson is someone who tells it like it is. And speaks from the heart. No wonder he’s the host of a podcast that tackles the F word head-on. This word can either be a friend or a foe. Ryan knows both. He’s experienced living pay check to pay check, seeing his hard working single mother determined to take control of her money, rather than let it control her and her family. It’s what inspired him to disrupt the finance industry by making financial advice less complicated. More human. And it’s what naturally led him to creating the Money & a Good Life podcast to further break down barriers by having open conversations about money and all that comes with it.

  Why art is for everyone with Andy Dinan

  Sep 21, 202645 minS1

  Art galleries can feel intimidating. White rooms full of expensive things. Quiet. Full of breakable things. A space that seems to signal: "You probably don't belong here." But what if that feeling is completely wrong? In this episode of Money & a Good Life , Steph and Ryan sit down with Andy Dinan—founder of MARS Gallery and ADA Art Consulting, and someone who's championed emerging and mid-career Australian artists for more than 20 years through over 700 exhibitions. Andy believes art is for everyone. That collecting doesn't require a fortune. And that buying something you love might actually be one of the most rewarding ways you can spend money. She also started one of Melbourne's best-known galleries despite never having worked in a gallery before—which is quite the origin story. What we talk about: How Andy went from pushing a pram into a gallery to opening her own. Why so many people feel intimidated by galleries and the art world. Why collecting art isn't just for wealthy people. The value of buying art you genuinely love. Why Andy encourages people to look for a long time before buying anything. Whether art should be viewed as an investment. The role art can play in shaping communities and public spaces. Why Andy believes philanthropy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of what they can afford to give. Whether you've been collecting for years or have never set foot in a gallery, this conversation is a reminder that art isn't about expertise or status. Sometimes it's simply about finding something you love and bringing it into your life. Here's to your Good Life. And thanks for listening.

  Creating an intentional life with Angela Ceberano

  Sep 7, 202641 minS1

  Most of us grow up believing that if we work hard enough, plan carefully enough and want something badly enough, we'll eventually get there. But life doesn't always follow the plan. In this episode of Money & a Good Life , Angela Ceberano shares the story behind her success in business, her IVF journey, and how both experiences changed the way she thinks about ambition, happiness and what truly matters. After building one of Australia's leading independent PR agencies and enduring 20 rounds of IVF over almost a decade, Angela has learned that some of life's biggest lessons come from the things we can't control. We talk about: Building a successful business from the ground up. The hidden cost of success and the sacrifices that often come with it. What nearly a decade of IVF taught Angela about resilience and uncertainty. Why sharing her fertility journey publicly became so important. The emotional and financial realities of IVF. How becoming a mother changed her definition of success. What intentional living looks like in practice and why rest is part of the work. This is a conversation about perseverance, perspective and learning to define success on your own terms, even when life takes you somewhere you never expected to go. Here's to your Good Life.

  Retire with purpose with Kim & Prue Watty

  Jul 27, 202629 minS1

  Most people spend decades planning financially for retirement. But what about everything else? The routines that shape your days. The sense of purpose that comes from your work. The connections, structure and identity you've built over a lifetime. In this episode of Money & a Good Life, we sit down with Prue and Dr Kim Watty, co-founders of The Main Act, to explore what happens when people retire without thinking about what comes next. Drawing on both personal experience and years of research, they share why creating a fulfilling retirement requires more than financial preparation, and how purpose, connection and community can play just as important a role. We talk about: Why retirement can be more challenging than many people expect. The loss of structure, identity and purpose that often comes with leaving work. Why financial preparedness is only one part of a successful retirement. The importance of thinking about what you want your next chapter to look like. The unique transitions many women experience throughout life and retirement. Why community, creativity, contribution and connection matter so much. How to move from simply retiring from something to retiring towards something. Whether retirement is right around the corner or still years away, this conversation is a reminder that a good retirement isn't just about having enough money. It's also about creating a life you're excited to wake up to. Here's to your Good Life. And thanks for listening.

  Why estate planning matters more than you think with Susan Bonnici

  Jun 29, 202638 minS1

  Estate planning is one of those things we all know we should do… but many of us keep putting it off. The problem? When estate planning goes wrong, the consequences can be deeply personal. Families stop speaking. Loved ones are left to make difficult decisions without guidance. Vulnerable people can be left unprotected. And disputes that could have been avoided end up costing families emotionally and financially. In this episode of Money and a Good Life, we sit down with Susan Bonnici, Principal Estate Planning Lawyer at Aitken Partners, to unpack what estate planning really involves — and why it's about so much more than simply deciding who gets what. Susan has spent her entire legal career helping families navigate everything from straightforward Wills to highly complex estate planning arrangements. As both a lawyer and mother of a child with a disability, she's seen firsthand the importance of planning ahead, particularly for families caring for vulnerable loved ones. We explore the difference between estate and non-estate assets, why Wills are increasingly being challenged, and the practical steps families can take now to reduce conflict and create certainty for the people they care about most. This conversation is a timely reminder that estate planning isn't really about death — it's about protecting the people you love. In this episode, we cover: Why estate planning is about much more than "who gets what" The role family dynamics play in estate planning Protecting vulnerable family members and children with disabilities The difference between estate and non-estate assets Common mistakes people make with Wills and superannuation Why more Wills are being contested — and how to reduce the risk Proposed changes to trust taxation and what they may mean Key terms every adult should understand, including probate and powers of attorney The importance of planning before a crisis occurs Here's to your Good Life.

  Goals, plans and everything in between with Mike Larkan

  Jun 15, 202647 minS1

  We all like to think life follows a bit of a plan. You build something over time. You find your rhythm. You get comfortable with where things are heading. And then, sometimes, life shifts. Not always in a dramatic way, but enough to make you rethink what comes next. In this episode, Mike Larkan shares the story behind a life that’s been anything but linear. From decades in television to building something new, his experience is less about a single turning point and more about how everything adds up over time. We talk about: How short-term decisions shape the bigger picture The balance between planning ahead and living in the moment What happens when your identity is tied to your work How major life events can shift your perspective What “enough” looks like and how that can change over time Why some of the most important decisions aren’t purely financial It’s a conversation about perspective, adaptability and the long game, not just in money, but in life.
