Afford Anything
Paula Pant's premise: you can afford anything, but not everything.
The show treats money as one resource among several — time, energy, attention — and asks how to spend all of them deliberately. Every choice is a trade-off, and the goal is to make the trade on purpose.
Interviews run long and go deep, often with investors and entrepreneurs, and the host is comfortable pushing back rather than nodding along.
It rewards patience. This is a show for the listener who wants to think structurally about a decade, not optimise a single budget line.
