For too many people, a conversation about personal finance and investing can be very dry and boring - but it doesn't have to be! In our broadcast today we will chat with Susan Hirshman who has found a way to explain investing in a fun, familiar and fitting way. We will awaken your hidden personal finance competence and leave you with a sense of control and confidence toward your financial future.

Susan Hirshman is one of the most credentialed persons I know in the financial services industry. She’s got it all – an MBA, a CFA, a CFP, a CPA, a CDFA … and the list goes on and on. She is an author, has been quoted in major newspapers and magazines and has appeared on television numerous times.

When it comes to her finances … she is a self-admitted recovering: Chargeaholic, Spendaholic,Hope and a prayeraholic …

And yes, a cliché but it is true, a shoeaholic

In other words, perfection is not her middle name. As she tells it - it wasn’t until she came to terms with the fact that her plan of “having a man as her financial plan” wasn't working out so well, that she took control of, got engaged in and focused on her financial life. Based on her work in financial services and speaking with hundreds of women over the past twenty plus years she knew she was not alone in her financial imperfections - and became obsessed with helping other women find the same sense of confidence, comfort and command over her finances that she now has.
