Miss Understood with Rachel Uchitel

This week's guest doesn't hold back!   Whether she's spilling details of her time on The Real Housewives of Orange County or opening up about her humble upbringing in Missouri, Elizabeth Vargas, doesn't mince words, which makes for a very fun interview!
Elizabeth and Rachel share stories about growing up with trauma, how it shaped them, and how they both made it through.  We get some unfiltered stories from her stint on Housewives and if she'd ever consider going back.  We hear about her upcoming TV show "Success of Unusual People," her Vargas Vodka line and the real estate empire she is building.  You've gotta listen!

82% of businesses fail due to cash flow mismanagement, often mistaking profit for cash flow. In this episode of the Habits and Hustle podcast, I interview Melissa Houston, author of Cash Confident, who shares her unique five-step framework for mastering business finances. The framework starts with developing a positive money mindset, understanding the difference between profit and cash flow, creating a business financial plan, and the importance of being proactive with cash and forecasting financial outcomes for at least six to eight weeks in advance to prepare for any financial shortages. We also discuss specific financial hurdles that women often face, including mindset issues around money, the intense competition in the online coaching world, and the importance of understanding and managing cash flow effectively. What we discuss: 01:10 - What does it mean to be cash confident? 02:34 - Number 1 reason businesses fail 03:55 - Tips for being more aware of cash flow 05:36 - 5 step framework for mastering business finances 09:00 - How to shift your money mindset 11:53 - Financial confidence for women 16:12 - How to determine the strengths and weakness of a business? 17:46 - What businesses are more profitable and cash flow positive than other ones? 22:50 - The truth behind online coaching 25:13 - When does a company need to hire a CFO?   Find more from Jen: Website: https://www.jennifercohen.com/ Instagram: @therealjencohen Books: https://www.jennifercohen.com/books Speaking: https://www.jennifercohen.com/speaking-engagements Find more from Melissa: Website: https://melissahoustoncpa.com/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/melissahoustoncpa

Sometimes we all wonder, what is it like to be under the permanent scrutiny of millions of judgmental eyes, while living in a reality TV microcosm? This week’s guest on the Habits & Hustle podcast, Heather Dubrow, answers that question.

She shares insights into how our environment affects our personalities, and what she envisions for her life post-reunion. We also touch upon maintaining relationships amidst the drama, her thoughts on body image, and the rumors of her husband's infidelity.
