Let's face it, society puts a lot of pressure on us to follow a certain timeline - go to school, build a career, get married, and start a family. But what if we want to prioritize our professional goals before starting a family? 

This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Nanxi Lui about her experience with this and the topic that many couples find uncomfortable - prenups. As two successful entrepreneurs, Nanxi and her significant other recognized the importance of having these tough conversations and laying a solid foundation for their financial future together. 

But it's not just about prenups - Nanxi also shared her insight on what an investment portfolio looks like for someone who wears the hat of a serial entrepreneur. 

Dive in and learn more about building a strong financial foundation with your significant other.
