Jason Tartick is a finance expert, bestselling author, and media personality best known as the host of Trading Secrets, one of the top business podcasts in the country. His book, The Restart Roadmap, became a go-to resource for anyone looking to take control of their money without the jargon. Before building his media career, Jason spent nearly a decade in corporate banking at one of the largest financial institutions in the world. That experience gave him a front-row seat to how money really moves, and he's turned it into a mission: closing the gap between what people are taught about personal finance and what actually works.
