(NASDAQ:\nSIEB), Pretty Money is hosted by entrepreneur and entertainment strategist\nAriela Weston. The podcast is built around a simple idea: money affects nearly\nevery part of life, yet it remains one of the hardest subjects to talk about\nopenly.\n\nWeston created Pretty Money after her own experience navigating financial\nindependence as a single mother in her 30s. Despite growing up with access to\neducation and opportunity, she realized that she had never been taught many of\nthe practical lessons involved in managing and building wealth. Moreover, she\nstates, “I loved working since I was a child at a local shoe store, but in\nthe years to come I began to associate money as taboo to discuss. I even felt\nbad about the idea that I loved earning money. That always stuck with me: that\nhush-hush mentality surrounding a paycheck or a well-earned bonus at a job was\nsomething I would later carry into adulthood.”\n\nSeason one of Pretty Money launches with top-tier entrepreneurs, entertainers,\nathletes, business leaders and financial professionals, ranging in age and\ncultural backgrounds. “The idea is about fostering a sense of confidence for\nviewers as they hear stories from those they admire and realize most people\ndon’t have it all figured out; raise your hand in class, ask that scary\nquestion when you’re in a math class in high school, share what you’re\nmaking at your job with supportive colleagues at work, be comfortable enough\nto stand in the power of educating yourself even if you’re starting at\nsquare one…because most of us are.”\n\nPretty Money looks beyond budgets, spreadsheets, and financial tips to explore\nthe real experiences behind earning, losing, managing, and thinking about\nmoney.\n\n“Money is deeply personal, but too many people grow up feeling like they\nshould already know all the answers,” says Ariela Weston, host of Pretty\nMoney. “This show is about asking the questions people are often afraid to\nask and hearing from people who have experienced success, setbacks, and\neverything in between. The goal is to humanize conversations about money\nthrough shared stories and experiences that inherently are the building blocks\nof community. If we all need money to survive, why aren't we able to talk\nabout it more openly?”\n\nThat experience became the foundation for a podcast designed to make financial\nconversations about money more socially acceptable, bridge the gap between\nfinancial knowledge and understanding, and encourage open dialogue without\njudgment or intimidation.\n\nPretty Money Season One launches with guests spanning entertainment, business,\nmedia, sports, and finance. Featured conversations include Katerina Schneider,\nfounder and CEO of Ritual; four-time Tony Award nominee and acclaimed actress\nTovah Feldshuh; entrepreneur and MTV personality Juliette Porter; nationally\nsyndicated Latina radio host Dana Cortez; and Academy Award-winning\nscreenwriter and producer Mark Boal, supported by a wider lineup of founders,\nathletes, authors, news journalists, creators, and financial professionals.\n\n“Pretty Money represents the kind of storytelling we want to build at Gebbia\nMedia,” said Richie Gebbia, Co-CEO of Muriel Siebert & Co. “Financial\nliteracy doesn’t have to feel like a lecture. Culture, entertainment and\npersonal stories can open the door to conversations people might otherwise\navoid. With Siebert Financial supporting Pretty Money, we can bring those\nconversations to a broader audience.”\n\nSiebert Financial’s sponsorship reflects its focus on expanding access to\nfinancial literacy and creating new ways to engage audiences that have often\nfelt disconnected from traditional financial education and content.\n\nRather than defining success through metrics and analytics, Pretty Money\nexplores what financial success means to different people and how our\nblueprint, relationships, careers, and the pressure of internal expectations\nshape how we all relate to money.\n\nThe first season of Pretty Money launches on October 14, 2026, and is\navailable on all the main podcast platforms.\n\nAbout Gebbia Media\nGebbia Media is a media and entertainment company focused on promoting music\nartists and catalog acquisition, as well as producing film and TV content\nacross story-driven, reality, and factual formats.
