Want to make the world a better place? Welcome to the Be Good With Money podcast!
My name is Mr MoneyJar, and every week I'll spotlight individuals and organisations who are not only using money 'well' in the traditional sense, but are also using it to protect the planet, bring about social change, and make a positive impact.

I normally record my podcast in the studio with my guests. But this week's guest, Misha Rogalskiy, couldn't be with us because he's in Ukraine. A country which is currently being invaded by Russia, and where Misha has been living and running his businesses for the past few months.
Misha is the co-founder of two companies - Monobank, the largest neobank in Ukraine, and The Credit Thing a credit card app that helps people gain access to affordable credit.
I sat down with Misha on this episode as he told me all about the toll that war has taken on his businesses, how it has changed his perspective on life, and the work he is doing to provide affordable credit to Ukrainian refugees in the UK.

The Credit Thing app is also available to download on Google Play and on the App Store.
Charlotte Jessop is the founder of financial education platform Look After Your Pennies, and has nearly 100,000 followers across social media. She has also been featured on ITV, the BBC, LadBible and the Financial Times, sharing her money tips with the nation.
On this week's episode we sat down to answer the question: Do you need to be good at maths to be good with money? And how can being comfortable with numbers help you to better manage your money?
Charlotte is not only a financial content creator, but she is also a former teacher and a mum. In this conversation, Charlotte shares practical ways we can all improve our confidence with numbers to be able to get on with our finances. We recorded this episode in celebration of National Numeracy Day, and I hope you enjoy it.

This week I speak to Ryan King, about how he has managed to build a £60,000 investment portfolio by the age of 24, not by investing in individual stocks, but by investing primarily in index funds. He shares his story, and plenty more investing wisdom in our conversation.
Ryan is a financial content creator, investor and chartered accountant. He is better known as @makingmoneysimple on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube. Check out his channels here: https://makingmoneysimple.carrd.co
