In this episode, we’re joined by Bijal Gami, Vice President of Card Portfolio and Operations at Members 1st Federal Credit Union, to share smart, simple ways consumers can protect their money while traveling.
We cover common scams like fake booking sites, phishing emails, and card skimming, along with how built-in tools like transaction alerts, card controls, and fraud monitoring can help catch suspicious activity early.

In a time of rising loneliness and emotional burnout, Grandma Stand offers a powerful reminder of the healing power of simply being heard. In this episode, we explore the new documentary by filmmaker Susan Polis Schutz, which follows real-life conversations between strangers and volunteer “grandmas” in public spaces across New York City.
Through candid, unscripted exchanges on everything from anxiety and grief to aging and uncertainty, the film reveals how deep listening can bring calm, connection, and emotional release. We also discuss how this grassroots movement—founded by Mike Matthews—has grown nationwide, creating free, accessible spaces for mental wellness and human connection.
