    Trusting the Universe…or Your Retirement Account?
    Mar 31 2026
    After their conversation with Buddhist teacher Cara Lai, Amber and Tom return to one of the deep tensions at the crossroads of spiritual life and financial planning: Do we save and prepare for the future, or trust that resources will appear when we’re living into our purpose? From Cara’s confessed hatred of her 401(k) to modern-day parables, Buddhist wealth teachings, and listener stories, Amber and Tom explore the tension between trust and stewardship. They also wrestle with real-life dilemmas: giving generously when you have a family to support, helping a friend in need, navigating a spouse’s very different approach to money, and wondering whether saving money blocks the flow of generosity. A relatable guide for anyone trying to build a future while maintaining trust, openness, and a generous spirit. For more episodes and info, visit Money, Meet Meaning.

    Mar 24 2026
    What if your money habits say more about your heart than your bank account? In this episode Tom Levinson and Amber Hacker talk with Cara Lai, a Buddhist mindfulness teacher, about the spiritual side of money.

Together, they explore what it means to balance the practicality of providing for a family with faith in the flow of life – and how generosity can be both a spiritual practice and a source of real-world abundance. About Cara: Cara Lai is a Buddhist teacher, artist, and writer known for her humor, honesty, and ability to make ancient wisdom feel accessible in modern life.

  • Mission, Money, and Machine

    Mission, Money, and Machine
    Mar 17 2026
    After talking with AI investor Colin Evans, Amber and Tom return to the mic to wrestle with the thorny questions Colin’s episode raised. Can purpose win out over profit – or does money have the final say? If AI frees us from toil, is that liberation – or the loss of something essential? And what values should guide the people building our machines – should there be a “Hippocratic Oath” for AI programmers? Through wit, warmth, and a few well-timed tangents, Amber and Tom explore how spiritual traditions might help us navigate this new frontier – where work, wisdom, and technology meet. It’s a conversation for anyone wondering how to stay human in an age of machines and algorithms, and whether we can build with both head and heart.
