Real-life conversations about life and finances. Anna Moulder + Ray Griffin
Talking Returns: THE PODCAST
Meet Ray Griffin
Ray is the guy who knows about finance stuff. And business stuff. He really knows his stuff.
He’s been doing this for a long time and while having retired from holding a license to advise, for reasons unknown he continues to be fascinated with the world of economics and finance, and does his best to stay at the forefront of those issues.
Not licensed to advise he may be, Ray is however ‘licensed to thrill’ you on this podcast – see what we did there?
When he’s not Talking Returns, Ray loves to ride his motorcycles, is an avid music fan, and is quite the artist – Ray can sketch (sort of, he says)!
He enjoys the meditative effects of one or both of his two cats purring next to him and has been known to ride bicycles quite long distances.
As well, he’s been sitting behind microphones talking about money as the 'talent' for a long time, decades in fact - although he reckons he's way less experienced at wrangling microphones than Anna is.

Meet Anna Moulder
Anna is a lover of audio, storytelling and connecting with people, and has worked professionally in media for over 25 years, primarily in radio.
Anna is a big fan of breaking down complex issues and concepts and talking them out, without dumbing them down.
When mounted upon a high horse*, Anna can be heard insisting on the importance of having conversations around money - at all ages and in all settings.
Whether it’s having proactive conversations around your income, and your personal goals; succession planning and what the future looks like for those still on the ground; shaping your business to retain and reward high performers... Anna is a firm believer that being transparent around matters of money can create opportunities and help avoid a lot of heartache.
As she dismounts from said high horse, Anna aims to hold herself accountable to these things, at the very least in her own family and within her workplace. *Whilst always open for an adventure, Anna generally does not ride horses, only metaphorically, although she has been professionally wrangling microphones for a living for a long time.
When not Talking Returns, Anna loves music and dreams of being a tambourine playing, backup vocalist in a band (one day).
Along with her hubby and kids, Anna loves camping, discovering new places and having a good time with friends and family (and the doggos)!
