Features major brand integrations with
companies that include Chegg, Lyft, Getaround and Pandemic of
Love
Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSSE),
one of the largest premium content providers to value-conscious
consumers, announced today the premiere of the fourth season of the
award-winning Crackle original series Going From Broke. Backed by
executive producer Ashton Kutcher (Punk’d, The Ranch, Butterfly
Effect), the series features major brand integrations from
companies that include Chegg, Lyft, Getaround and the non-profit
Pandemic of Love. Going From Broke is now available to
stream on the free Crackle app on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung
TVs, and many others.
While the consumer debt crisis continues to rage unabated, Going
From Broke hosts Dan Rosensweig, CEO of Chegg, and financial expert
Tonya Rapley (MyFabFinance.com) dedicate their time to helping
participants on the series, as well as the viewing audience, change
the direction of their financial future to become the CEO of their
own lives. In the wake of “The Great Resignation” manifesting
across the American workforce, this season focuses on helping
people manage their debt, job insecurity, and growing mental health
concerns. The fourth season of Going From Broke features a wide
range of people from all walks of life, including a ranching family
struggling to keep their farm, a restauranteur couple who lost
their business during the pandemic, and a male cheerleader for the
Baltimore Ravens with a history of homelessness. Special guests
this season include James Beard Award-winning chef Dan Kruger;
Shelly Tygielski, founder of the global non-profit Pandemic of
Love; Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, a financial therapist from Mind Money
Balance; and the co-founder and president of Lyft, John Zimmer.
"I am beyond thrilled for the release of season four of Going
From Broke,” said executive producer Ashton Kutcher. “This show is
not just about financial struggles; it's about hope and
empowerment. Watching these individuals face their challenges
head-on and seeing our expert team come in to help them turn their
lives around is truly inspiring. In a time where financial hardship
is affecting so many, I believe this show has the power to make a
real difference in people's lives. I can't wait for audiences to
see the incredible transformations that take place in this
season."
“I am proud to be a part of Going From Broke, as it has opened
up a dialogue about something so many Americans are struggling with
- massive debt. Tackling issues ranging from mental health to the
realities of entrepreneurship in the middle of a worldwide
pandemic, we continue our calling to help people get on a path to
financial sustainability,” said Dan Rosensweig. “We continue to see
life-changing results in the individuals and families we have
already worked with and look forward to seeing even more
transformation this season.”
In addition to Kutcher, the series is executive produced by
Michael Winter and William J Rouhana, Jr. from Chicken Soup for the
Soul Entertainment, Laura De Nay and Mustafa Bhagat from Flicker
Filmworks, and Dan Rosensweig and Heather Hatlo Porter from series
sponsor Chegg and Mike van Reekum.
