Farnoosh Torabi is one of America’s leading personal finance authorities who’s hooked on helping you live your richest, happiest life. As a multi-bestselling Financial Author, Contributing Editor to Time Magazine’s NextAdvisor, CNBC host and creator of the award-winning So Money, Farnoosh has become our favorite go-to money expert and financial friend. The New York Times calls her advice, “perfectly practical.” Farnoosh’s podcast has surpassed 17 million downloads with listeners in over 200 countries, thanks to its one-of-a-kind interviews and deep conversations about money.

Farnoosh was born in Worcester, Massachusetts to immigrant parents who left Iran in the late 1970s in search of a more fulfilling life. Arriving with two suitcases and the promise of a small stipend from her dad’s university, the Torabi’s took a leap of faith and settled in the United States, hoping to build their version of the American Dream. It was here that her parents furthered their education, found fulfilling work, became homeowners and instilled in their children the virtues of patience, generosity and hard work.

Money may have been tight (really tight), but it was never a taboo subject in the household and for that, Farnoosh is eternally grateful. It’s what ultimately inspired her to lead a mission to help others achieve financial greatness.

Today, Farnoosh is a sought-after speaker and bestselling author. Each year she speaks at numerous events, companies, organizations and schools. Her latest bestseller is entitled When She Makes More: The Truth About Love and Life for a New Generation of Women.

Episode 92 is all about how to use your 401(K) to pursue financial independence featuring the Winenance sisters, Marie and Stephanie!

Marie Coleman-Johns and Stephanie Stockwell, aka, the “Sisters of Financial Independence” are personal finance educators and the founders of Winenance. Through their weekly YouTube show and podcast, investing workshops, and blog posts, they help women and people of color spend more intentionally, learn how to invest and grow wealth, and build a life of financial freedom. Having grown up financially insecure, they started out repeating the bad money habits they learned from their parents.

Though they turned things around in their 20s through growing their careers, by their early 30s, they realized that the savings sitting in their bank account wasn’t actually growing, and that wealth still eluded them. They soon found the FIRE movement and learned how to master their 401Ks and invest. Wanting to share the keys to investing with their friends and family, they took what they learned, built a PowerPoint Presentation, and started hosting Winenance Nights.
