Today we’re closing out our end-of-year wrap. I’ve had such a fun time this week reminiscing and looking back at some of the great So Money interviews of this year.

I hope you all have a great time celebrating tonight. Today we’re going to highlight the greatest lessons some of my top guests have learned from failure. I know this is a standard So Money question but we’ve heard some really astounding stories when it comes to financial failures on this show. In this episode we'll hear from: Dave Asprey, Author of “The Bulletproof Diet” interviewed in episode 11 Natalie Jill, Fitness Entrepreneur interviewed in episode 172 Ramit Sethi, Author of the New York Times bestseller, "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" interviewed in episode 85 Tony Robbins, #1 Life and Business Strategist interviewed in episode 1 For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

We're heading into day 3 of the So Money Year End Wrap. As a reminder. this is how it works. Each day I have a special theme and share some excerpts from some of my top interviews that correspond with that topic.Today’s theme is “Starting Your Own Business.” I know many of you are interested in this because I’ve asked, “What’s on your 2016 agenda, financially speaking, career-wise?” And many of you are interested in becoming your own boss. So this one’s for you.If you’ve been listening to the show for a while now you know I frequently interview entrepreneurs who have done some pretty amazing things with very few resources. I often get question on Ask Farnoosh episodes saying, “Hey, I want to be an entrepreneur. I want to be my own boss. How do I come up with the idea? Just the basics, the first step?” So in this episode we’re gonna hear from a few people including:Gerard Adams, Co-Founder of Elite Daily interviewed in episode 278Hannah Ouimet, Poshmark Entrepreneur & Founder of Hannah Beury interviewed in episode 184Bill Rancic, Winner of "The Apprentice" and Entrepreneur interviewed in episode 120Josh Altman, Bravo's Million Dollar Listing LA star interviewed in episode 273For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

Today’s theme is about “earning more.” Probably my FAVORITE financial topic of all. You might know that I’m not a fan of couponing or cutting out coffee. I get more excited about the things I can DO to bring in the money that’s going to help me live a more exciting life. There are two aspects of this earning more conversation. There’s earning more through an extra revenue stream or starting a business. And then there’s earning more on the job. You’d be shocked to know how few people actually ask for raises or ask for more money. In this episode we'll go back and hear from: Tim Gunn, Project Runway Mentor interviewed in episode 272 Lea Goldman, Executive Editor at Marie Claire interviewed in episode 309 Terri Trespicio, Branding Strategist interviewed in episode 271 Barbara Stanny, Money Coach and Author interviewed in episode 33 For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

Today marks the last week of 2015 and I thought what better way to close out the year than to reflect on some of the wonderful lessons my guests have shared with us this year on the show? It’s been almost a full year since the show launched and I’m so grateful to my guests and all of you who have taken the time to tune in and ask questions day in and day out.  In just the last month we’ve been featured in the Wall Street Journal, INC Magazine and on Marketplace Money, my favorite radio program. I’m excited to see what 2016 has in store, but so thankful for a wonderful 2015. This is how our year-end wrap episodes will work. Each day I’ll have a special theme and share some excerpts from some of my top interviews that correspond with that topic. Today’s theme is “Health & Wealth.” So often we hear from my guests about how important it is to keep your health in check and how that can translate into growing your wealth.
