Fortune Favors the Bold Helps Break Assumptions
about Money
Money: people love and hate to talk about it. They want to make
it, they want to use it, and they love having it, but when it comes
to actually thinking about it, how we get it, how we use and how it
helps or hurt us—that’s when people start to ask questions.

Enter Fortune Favors the Bold—Mastercard’s podcast created in
collaboration with Gimlet Creative. The complete second season is
live, and with it, we’re breaking down the barrier between people’s
money hang-ups and the achievement of real financial fluency.
Fortune Favors the Bold is not your typical financial literacy
podcast. We don’t talk about budgets, APRs or stock tips. Each
episode is dedicated to exploring the assumptions, perceptions and
unwritten rules that seem to govern how we think about money—and
about the people and companies daring to break them and then break
through to better opportunities. But the first step to tearing down
these long-established ways of thinking? It’s talking.
“Even though people are hesitant to talk about money, what
you’re going to find out really quickly is that people want to talk
about money,” said Ashley C. Ford, in Fortune Favors the Bold,
Season Two, Episode One: Upward Mobility.
Season One (also ripe for a binge-listen) asked questions about
what happens when we take risks, take control, and redefine our
relationship with money. We took on the future of work, talked to
companies that have been defining what it means to do well by doing
good, and explored how digital identities are key to accessing the
digital economy, among other topics.
Season Two takes it all a step further: revealing the unwritten
rules that seem to govern our perceptions around Upward Mobility,
Financial Literacy, Creditworthiness, Reskilling, Smart Cities and
Small Businesses. Across all the episodes, we delve into new ways
of thinking about old rules—and the people who are rewriting them
completely, all with the hope that listeners can soon see the way
to break the rules themselves.
Mona Chalabi, a data journalist known for her unique data
visualizations, debuts as this season’s host.
“We’re eager to create branded content that people not only want
to listen to, but also talk about,” said Marcy Cohen, SVP, Digital
and Creative Content, Mastercard.
Fortune Favors the Bold is available on Apple Podcast,
Google Play Music and all other listening platforms.
