On the premiere episode of Executive Exchange, senior editor and host Ruth Umoh sits down with personal finance guru Ramit Sethi in our Fortune studios to discuss how he was able to achieve self-made millionaire status (Hint: He invested early in Amazon), his hate for Robinhood, and how he wound up hosting his own Netflix show titled, "How To Get Rich."


Ramit is also the author of the 2009 New York Times bestseller, "I Will Teach You To Be Rich," and podcast host with the same moniker. His money advice may be seen as a bit new age, rather than not spending money on a latte or avocado toast, Ramit encourages people to live their rich life and think critically about the things you purchase in your life that will make you happy.
