Negotiation expert Alexandra Carter, author of Ask For More, joins to talk about negotiating when you’re in a transition phase (switching jobs, recently laid off, heading back to work after a break), what we *should* negotiate for but rarely do and why being scared in a negotiation means you’re doing it RIGHT!

More about Alex: She is a Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the Mediation Clinic at Columbia Law School. She has spent the last eleven years helping thousands of people negotiate better, build relationships and reach their goals. In 2019, Alex was awarded the Columbia University Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching, Columbia University’s highest teaching honor.

Guest Marc Russell is the creator of BetterWallet, where he teaches families all around the world how to make money work for them through practical investing. His journey began as a foster child for 13 years. He was eventually adopted by a low-income family who prioritized education. Marc then self-funded his college education (Penn State) and then climbed the ranks at some of the largest financial institutions in the world.

While excelling in his Wall Street career, Marc struggled with his own finances, living paycheck-to-paycheck with $80,000 of debt. He is now debt-free.
