This week on “Money” Market, the tables are turned as host Owen finds himself in the hot seat — interviewed by none other than his wife (and previous Money Market Podcast guest), Jessica Muroff, who also happens to be the CEO of United Way Suncoast @UWSUNCOAST . Listeners get a rare behind-the-mic look at Owen’s journey from almost-med-student to respected banking leader and podcast voice. Jessica dives into the origin story of the podcast, Owen’s career pivots, and why “relationships” keep coming up as the true currency of success. They laugh over Jessica once publicly dubbing him the Sexiest Man Alive (sorry, Brad Pitt), while also unpacking more serious lessons from the financial crisis, leadership, and emotional intelligence. Owen shares why he ditched the idea of “work-life balance” in favor of prioritization and purpose. This “Cheesehead” also explains what drew him to commercial real estate, how he built credibility in Pinellas County, and why culture matters more than money as a career progresses. Plus, he reveals how he accidentally became known as the “LinkedIn Economist.” “Money” Market gets personal and professional with candid insights, thoughtful leadership lessons, and plenty of playful banter.
