What if we thought about investing in ourselves, our professional wealth, just as much as we think about investing in other forms of wealth? 401(k), IRA, Compound Interest, Capital Gains... these are words and phrases most of us our familiar with, but what about the return we get when we invest ourselves, in our ongoing professional development? Michelle & Chase take inspiration from Tax Day in the United States and explore the importance of career development similar to the importance of compound interest.
