I feel like my relationship with money has changed a lot as I've gotten older. It mostly used to be about, am I paying my bills and putting some money away? Now there are so many moving pieces and competing priorities, so I wanna feel like I know exactly where I stand, not just hope that everything's okay. So that's what I like about Monarch. Having our accounts, investments, savings goals, and spending all in one place, it gives me a much clearer picture. There have definitely been months where I've looked at our spending breakdown and thought, wait, we spent that much on that? Seeing it all laid out makes those patterns really obvious. I also love Monarch's AI assistant. I can just ask questions about my finances instead of digging through transactions myself. It definitely takes some of the mental load out of managing money and helps me feel like we actually know where we stand. So write your own money story with Monarch.

All right, everybody, a little behind the scenes here. We're recording this podcast from our Industrious offices in New York City. It has been an amazing setup for more than a year now, because Industrious takes care of the workplace so we can focus on bringing you the news.

Jill Wagner (1:17)

That's right. So the main MoNews office is in an Industrious location in Manhattan, and we've also turned a room down the hall into the podcast studio, Moshe, where you and I record the show. And if we ever need a meeting room, somewhere quiet to work or just a change of scenery, it's all right here.

Mosheh Oinounou (1:33)

Yeah. And I have to mention the snacks. They got breakfast in the morning often, snacks all day long, coffee, soft drinks, among the advantages here to working out of Industrious. They're more than 200 locations. So we have our main base here, but we will use an Industrious when we're traveling around the country. And if you've been looking for a better place to work, whether it's for a day to have a meeting, get outside the house or your business is building up over time, but you're not ready to rent a whole office space, then Industrious is for you.

Jill Wagner (1:59)

Hey everybody, it is Monday, October 12th, and you're listening to the Mo News podcast. I'm Moshe Oinounou.

Jill Wagner (2:24)

And I'm Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just the facts.

Mosheh Oinounou (2:28)

And we read all the news and read between the lines so you don't have to on this holiday weekend here in the US. In 30 states, it is Columbus Day, 17 states in Washington, DC., Indigenous Peoples Day.

And Jill, we've both been traveling for the weekend.

Jill Wagner (2:43)

That's right. For anyone watching us on YouTube, they'll notice you have different digs right now. So you're in Strat and Vermont. Yeah.

Mosheh Oinounou (2:52)

And I got some ski, I got ski chic behind me. Yes.

Jill Wagner (2:58)

And I went to Columbus, Ohio this weekend. My husband and I took my daughter to her very first Ohio State football game.

It was awesome. And we are back.

Mosheh Oinounou (3:09)

That's very exciting. You guys had a big win. It's good to build, to help her build the loyalty with like a big victory, right?

Jill Wagner (3:16)

Yeah, you don't want to be sweating it out.

Mosheh Oinounou (3:20)

Or losing big. You're like, why do we support this team?

Jill Wagner (3:24)

And the weather was not amazing. It rained only during the game. So it was actually really nice for the entire rest of the weekend, except for the couple of hours that we were in Ohio State Stadium. So it's fine. We had a great time anyway.

Mosheh Oinounou (3:40)

All right. We got some news to get to.

Jill Wagner (3:42)

To the headlines, starting with escalating tensions in the Middle East, this time between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi terrorist group in Yemen. At least 12 people, including one American, were killed as the Houthis struck the International Airport in Riyadh.

Mosheh Oinounou (3:56)

Yeah, President Trump says he's going to look into joining Saudi Arabia in the war against the Iranian-backed Houthis after multiple strikes on the International Airport there in Riyadh. We'll tell you what's happening and what might come next.
