Legal Grounds | Darren Wurz

My late mother taught me that there were three things that you never brought up in polite company:

1. Politics
2. Religion
3. Money

Now, I'd argue that in social situations these are still best-practices. but what's interesting is those first two... well, they're not so 'taboo' any more.  

Now, I don't have the numbers to back it up, but I think a huge factor is social media. 

And PLEASE know I'm not 'blaming' anyone for anything, but I'd be willing to bet a majority of us share their political and religious affiliations and opinions openly. 

Whether it's Twitter (r.i.p.) or Instagram or TikTok, politics and religion drive a huge part of the conversations and content. 

But money? 

Not so much.

Sure, there's plenty of stuff about saving and making money, but I don't think I've seen anyone post their savings account balance.

But my guest today wants to break that taboo.
