In Episode 2 of Season 10, I sit down with Adam Salzman, founder of AdventureEXP and author of The Suitcase of Life, for a practical conversation about personal finance on a gap year. We unpack why budgeting is really a “priorities list,” how students can build financial confidence through real-world decisions, and how destination work experiences can help young adults earn money while they travel. Adam shares mindset shifts, tools, and systems that make budgeting less intimidating, plus advice for parents who want to support learning without rescuing every mistake.
