Hi! We're Hannah and Susanna!
For those who don’t know us from our shared context, we met in Wise County Virginia where both of us worked for the Southern Appalachian Mountain Stewards, fighting to save Ison Rock ridge and end mountaintop removal mining. A lifetime friendship was forged during this time, and despite many years spent apart, we’ve stayed close.
For years we’ve wanted to work together again, and we have a decade’s worth of scrapped ideas to show for it, such as a staffing firm, a dance exercise Youtube channel, and a sock company that primarily sells singles.
Unfortunately, we are not writing to share how you can finally buy single socks. Instead, we’re excited to announce that we’re launching a podcast! Ways to Means is a personal finance podcast, and an excuse to ask our guests the kind of questions you’d feel awkward to pose at dinner parties. We believe financial empowerment is a collective effort and we learn best by sharing personal experiences with each other. Some of our episodes will feature guest interviews, some will be more oriented towards research and news on a given topic, and some will be diaristic in nature. We will be covering topics such as mid-career sabbaticals, finding financial independence, navigating health care costs associated with childbirth, and so much more.
Our first two episodes are out now, with new episodes dropping every other week on Wednesdays. You can find us on our Spotify page or at www.anchor.fm/waystomeans. Other platforms to follow.
We hope you all will become some of our early listeners and enjoy this as much as we have. Thanks for all your support.
