Is Who You Marry Your Most Important Financial Decision? with Divorce Attorney Jim Sexton
Which money mistakes destroy a relationship? And which good money habits make a marriage work? No one sees into people’s finances like a divorce lawyer does. So Nayeema brings BACK killer NYC divorce attorney James Sexton, Esq. to ask: is marriage really the most important financial decision you’ll ever make? Does leverage kill love? And with an affordability crisis,, does being middle class keep you (unhappily) married? **btw if you’re in NYC on Tuesday 5/26, we’re taping SGDQ live at the cellar. Get your tickets here** Also on the agenda: crypto divorces, koi ponds that cost more than your annual salary, the three-step autopsy of every marriage (identification, valuation, distribution), why money fights are usually about safety and power, and how to talk about money without accidentally fighting your partner’s dad. Plus: Jim’s rom-com therapy corner,, the most unhinged prenup clause he’s ever seen (yes, it was upheld), and why “fidelity clauses” fail. Thanks to our partners at Chime. This is episode 1 of our SGDQ Smart Money series brought to you by Chime. Stay tuned for more episodes on whether the American Dream is still in reach, if it's better to rent or buy and more dumb-but-smart money Qs for people who seek progress.

Iran ... Um, How Does This End?
Robert Malley was a Lead Negotiator of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal, so what does he think will happen next? And what does three decades at the forefront of Middle East peace (or war, in this case), teach him from Camp David (2000) to Israel and Gaza today? Nayeema and Rob walk through Donald Trump’s “Art of the Deal” to figure out whether one may be had here. They also discuss: are negotiators more like marriage therapists, hostage negotiators or plumbers? Are President Trump’s tweets (slash Truth Socials) an attempt at Mad Man strategy or just a genuine chaos-making machine? How do Iranians think and deal-make? And will we see peace in Israel and Palestine in our lifetime? Be sure to check out Rob’s book Tomorrow is Yesterday: Life, Death and the Pursuit of Peafe in Israel/Palestine.

How Do You Win a Grammy?
The electroacoustic duo ARKAI just won a Grammy. Nayeema wants to know: How hard is that? Can you manifest one? Or is it more like a political campaign? Does the Harvard of Music (aka Juilliard) prepare musicians for a TikTok world? And the crucial question of 2026: Will AI replace musicians? Jonathan Miron (violin) and Philip Sheegog (cello) also spill on the beef between cellists and violinists, how many people it takes to call yourself a band and if bands are dying out in the era of the solo TikTok artist.

Does Silicon Valley Run Washington? with former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo
Dick Costolo is a powerful rich dude who gave an insider's edge to the HBO Series "Silicon Valley." Nayeema asks the almost-billion dollar investor: Is Elon or Trump more powerful now? Is venture capital a Ponzi scheme? Is big tech back in a bubble? Will AI lead us into a K-shaped economy where the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets replaced by bots? Also on the agenda: SpaceX at a $1.5T+ IPO (??), why so much value gets captured in private markets before the rest of us even get a shot to make money, the SEC rule change that helped companies stay private forever, and how crypto + prediction markets are winning over D.C.

Is Dry Cleaning a Scam? with the Father-Son Duo Behind Jeeves
Dry cleaning is the ultimate black box: you drop off your clothes… and somehow they come back looking better than your life choices. Nayeema goes inside the fairytale with the father/son duo behind Jeeves New York, Jerry and Zachary Pozniak to ask: how do you clean something “dry”? Where do the clothes actually go? And do they worry about the chemicals? They unpack what dry cleaning really is (spoiler: it’s not dry), why “dry clean only” labels can be… kind of fake and how to make a family business work. Also: why their skills are critical at the Met, Louvre and Lincoln Center. Send us your “dumb questions” on IG/TikTok @smartgirldumbquestions or by calling 1-855-MyDumbQ.
