The Meaningful Money Personal Finance Podcast · Wednesday, September 16, 2026
Tim Mannick explains his decision to co-host "The Problem of Money" podcast was driven by Shabbar Kassam's "life path impulse" rather than a business strategy. Mannick looks for initiatives that bring people alive and light up their eyes, prioritizing passion and genuine interest over immediate financial gain.
“I used to have a podcast, but I realized I wasn't that excited about what we were talking about. I was doing it as a business thing. I was doing it as a marketing thing. Um, and in our work, we kind of call that a money path move.”
“And in my work, I'm often listening out for what I call that life path impulse. And I don't really care what it is, and I don't really care to start with whether it's going to make anyone any money. I'm interested, what I listen out for is, does it bring this person alive? Does their eyes light up?”
“So, it's been a pure life path move. And we're still enjoying it. And we hope other people do too, really.”
