$50 By Friday Program
Built around Dr. Sean Siebert’s award-winning book, Fighting The Good Fight, $50 By Friday is more than just a podcast—it’s a movement of hope, resilience, and real talk. Led by students, for students, this video podcast creates a space where young voices shine, sharing their stories with honesty and courage. Each episode dives into the struggles that so many face but often feel alone in, from overcoming self-doubt and self-shame to rebuilding trust and finding the strength to be a positive force in the world. These aren’t just conversations—they’re lifelines, filled with wisdom, encouragement, and the kind of advice that can only come from people who truly get it.
Grief and hardship can feel isolating, but $50 By Friday reminds us that we don’t have to go through it alone. The students on this podcast open up about their own experiences, proving that vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s strength. They talk about what it means to show up for others and how to recognize the people who show up for us. They explore the power of rewriting our own stories, even when life takes an unexpected turn. Every episode is packed with insight, offering listeners practical ways to navigate life’s toughest moments while reminding them that their voices, their pain, and their healing all matter.
Whether you’re struggling with loss, questioning your path, or just looking for a place to feel understood, $50 By Friday is here for you. It’s a community, a conversation, and a reminder that hope is always within reach. No matter where you are on your journey, these stories will inspire you to keep going, keep growing, and keep believing in yourself. Because even in the hardest moments, you are never alone—and your story is far from over. We fight the good fight with you.
