What does how you earn, save and spend your money say about your overall relationship with money – a lot actually.

Some of us spend more money to “look the part” in our careers and some of us can get away with comfy pants and ripped sweatshirts (although I urge you to never go to work this way). What writer Alanna Okun has found in her series, How Do You Shop on Racked is that our uniqueness to spending and saving money is also the tie that binds us all together.

On This Podcast Episode:

We’re getting down and dirty with Racked’s writer and editor, Alanna Okun, about the series How Do You Shop in this episode. Alanna shares some of the most surprising discoveries she’s learned from talking to many different women from across the U.S. about their own saving and spending money stories.

Alanna’s also got quite a money story herself. Living in NYC and working for Racked and BuzzFeed prior, she’s sharing her own wisdom about being smart with her cash and her exciting career journey (hint, she’s launching her first book, The Curse Of The Boyfriend Sweater in March).

Attending college in the United States comes at a price. It feels almost – dare I say – criminal to me.

We tell students that you have to go to college if you want to get a good job – so you go to college, take on a ton of student debt or work yourself crazy to pay for college – and then you graduate…and then there aren’t jobs that will pay a salary worthy of your student loan bill. It doesn’t feel right to me…but I don’t know what the solution is really.

On This Podcast Episode:

I want to introduce you to a new alternative to higher education, Adam Braun, who started MissionU to change our broken education system and offer a fresh approach to learning. Imagine going to school without the burden of student loans and having companies like Lyft, Spotify, and Warby Parker help develop the curriculum and have early access to hire graduates.

I’m dishing all things MissionU with Adam in this podcast episode and uncovering why he’s so motivated and inspired to take on an old broken education system

If you’ve ever woken up one day with a plan to quit your job and build your dream career, this podcast is for you. Going all in on your dreams means you’re ready to embark on the unknown – you’ve got a great idea for a product or service, but the unknown is whether or not your customers will be ready to go all in with you.

On This Podcast Episode:

I’m dishing about some things you need to consider before (and during) the time you decide to go all in on your dream idea. Having a plan in place doesn’t mean everything will work out ok – but it does give you some breathing room to make changes along the way.
