In this powerful and inspiring episode of Your Money Map, Jean Chatzky sits down with entrepreneur and author Julie Wainwright, founder of The RealReal, to talk about failure, reinvention, and why it’s never too late to bet on yourself.

She shares candid stories from her new book, Time to Get Real: How I Built a Billion Dollar Business that Rocked the Fashion Industry, and the hard-won lessons she learned about leadership, raising capital as a woman over 50, and taking calculated risks — including the moment she emptied her 401(k) to fund her vision.

Topics We Cover:

  • How Julie rebuilt her career after Pets.com
  • The surprising advantages of launching a business later in life
  • Facing ageism and gender bias in venture capital
  • Why she bet her retirement savings on herself
  • The messy truths behind entrepreneurship
  • Advice for women starting over at any age
