    • Manisha's Story | On Financial Health + Emotional Wealth

      No matter your age or profession, we can all fall prey to the false belief that the amount of money you earn is just “Never Enough.” In this episode, we’re joined by financial well-being guru and author, Manisha Thakor. Manisha has a wealth of experience in the financial sector; she’s a Harvard Business School grad, a Chartered Financial Analyst, a Certified Financial Planner and has spent over 25 years working in the financial services industry; from institutional investing (where she helped grow her division to over $6 Billion in assets under management) to individual wealth advising. Despite achieving financial well-being herself, Manisha woke up and realized all that she had sacrificed in the name of work and money. Today, she shares her candid stories on how she overcame toxic behaviors around work, money, and prestige that impacted her health and personal relationships. She gives us powerful language to reframe how we look at money problems vs. money worries, and provides a powerful connection between financial health and emotional wealth; which she refers to as MoneyZen. I hope you enjoy Manisha as much as I did!

      • John Paul DeJoria's Story| From $350 to becoming a Multi-Billionaire

        Today, I am joined by an inspiring entrepreneur, leader, philanthropist, and multi-billionaire, John Paul DeJoria. John Paul, or JP as he often goes by, is the Co-Founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems, Co-Founder of Patron Tequila, and Founder of JP’s Peace, Love & Happiness Foundation, which contributes to more philanthropic causes than one can count. While this is a podcast about money, it goes so far beyond that. Despite the achievements he has to date, I am struck by his compassion, kindness, and humility - which are likely a result of someone who clearly remembers what it was like to struggle. He shares his advice and experience, the importance of giving back, as well as simple words of wisdom for entrepreneurs that are applicable to us all. I hope this episode leaves you inspired to do good for others and the planet. And lastly, and perhaps most importantly, that while money is a part of wealth, true wealth is happiness. Enjoy this episode!

      • Jake’s Story | From -$25k in Net Worth to $500k

        It’s always refreshing to have guests who have not only ‘gone through the fire’ if you will, but are comfortable being vulnerable enough to publicly share specific numbers around their financial transformations. That’s exactly why I loved my conversation with today’s guest, Jake Cousineau. Jake is a teacher, turned personal finance author of “How to Adult”, where he draws on years of experience in the high school classroom as well as his own experience as a young professional and breaks down finance in a way that’s approachable for young adults. In this episode, Jake shares his journey on HOW he went from a negative net worth of about $25k to a net worth today of almost $500k. What I love most about this? He didn’t make dramatic changes in his income - he was able to achieve this steady, but major transformation on his teacher salary. He simply changed the way he thought about money, what he did with his money, and he's going to tell you more about how he did it in today's episode. Enjoy
