In this week’s episode, I’m speaking with the incredible Lydia Fenet, an acclaimed auctioneer and two-time bestselling author. 

 

Lydia shares her story of how she grew her relationship with money and what it was like building an understanding of financial literacy throughout her life. After starting her career at Christie’s auction house in her early 20s, she was suddenly faced with the reality of credit cards, saving, and advocating for yourself in the real world. 

 

Lydia takes us through her journey from first discovering she was way underpaid, to now investing in startups that she truly believes in and advocating for other women to do the same. 

 

Her story is truly inspiring for anyone (especially women) looking to jumpstart their investment portfolio and wanting to discover how much greater life can be when the answer is always “yes.”
