Jane and Jesus

Hosted by Karen Swallow Prior

What is the life worth living? What are our obligations to ourselves and to others? What does love mean, and how might we embody virtue?. These questions are as ancient as humanity’s primordial pursuit for self-understanding, and our podcast will examine them and others by looking at the surprising intersections of two figures: Jesus Christ and Jane Austen.

By closely reading a different one of Austen’s novels each season, and by examining her characters in light of Christ’s teachings, we hope to shed light on both, presenting a take on literature and popular culture that is as edifying as it is entertaining.

Andrew Garner

CEO of Cash Loans for Less

Gave us the honor by joining us to talk about what payday loans are for ordinary people and what alternatives to them can now the lending industry offer. On this podcast, he shares his unique knowledge of how the payday lending industry really works and shows us perspective on why borrowers need these sorts of loans, how lending companies can use payday lending more efficiently to help people solve their problems without financial stress, and why a 60-second approval process was the key to making Cash Loans for Less’s products more effective and accessible.

Andrew’s Key Takeaways

  • Payday lenders create a great experience for borrowers with bad credit, although some people consider these cash advances a “pure evil”. However, being cautious with payday loans is a key point for your positive lending experience. Borrowers should take out only the amount they need, even if they were approved for more. There are also some situations when payday loans may be a bad idea. Mr. Garner recommends obtaining a paycheck cash advance strictly for emergencies.
  • It doesn’t matter how hard you try and how important and useful the work you do, someone will always be dissatisfied with your job. However, if it is a driving force that makes you keep your values and stick to your morals, it doesn’t matter.
  • Payday loans came about because of things traditional lenders don’t do. They allow people to get the money they need shortly after applying and without affecting credit scores. Payday loans also offer a fast application process with no faxing or unnecessary paperwork. People use payday loans because they are easy to get and offer borrowers the terms and conveniences banks and credit unions can’t offer.
