- How Tori Dunlap Is Helping Women Get Rich (MU Classic)
#631 What would you do if you had $100K in the bank — quit your job, start a business, or finally take that dream trip? In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, we sit down with Tori Dunlap, internationally recognized money and career expert, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of Her First $100K. After saving $100K by the age of 25, Tori quit her corporate job to fight financial inequality by giving women actionable tools to take control of their money. Tori opens up about how having that financial safety net gave her the freedom to build a multimillion-dollar business and help over 5 million women improve their financial lives. She shares why traditional financial advice often misses the mark for women, how personal finance is 80% systemic and 20% personal choice, and the power of building a business with systems that turn virality into lasting success. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to take the leap into entrepreneurship, then this episode will light your fire!
