Today's guest is the Founder and CEO of Restorsea. Patti Pao has an extensive beauty background having launched over 400 products for popular brands including Avon, Elizabeth Arden and Guerlain to name a few. She's known for creating revolutionary products. It all started when Patti recognized that there was an unmet consumer need for gentler anti-aging products that deliver real results. She didn't go about this in the most normal way... Patti took a tour through the fjords of western Norway and came across a tour of the country's largest salmon hatchery. Along the way she noticed the workers hands looked much younger than their faces and because they worked with their hands in the water Patti knew where to look for the secret. Shortly thereafter Restorsea's proprietary Vibransea complex was born, which is anchored by Aquabeautine XL, a natural enzyme salmon release into the water at birth enabling them to safely emerge from their eggshells. She even secured the exclusive global rights to use the enzyme in all of Restoresea's products. She has her MBA from the Harvard Business School and received her undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley.

It's Startup Week on So Money. We're going to talk to some amazing entrepreneurs that are in the startup phase of their businesses. This themed week was really inspired by my show Follow the Leader, where I've been spending time with billionaires and mega-entrepreneurs as they make tough decisions behind the scenes, how they execute strategy and run their businesses. So, I thought, wouldn't it be kind of interesting to look at some startups, some younger entrepreneurs, fledgling entrepreneurs as they're in the first year, two or three, of their business.Today's guest is Julia Shapiro.

She also spills on some of the astonishing things that she has encountered as a female in Silicon Valley as she's tried to go and build her business.

Today's guest has an amazing story. This woman has worked for some of the biggest names on Wall Street. Cynthia DiBartolo's resume consists of jobs at Bear Sterns, Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney and Citibank. She also has her law degree from the Villanova University School of Law. In 2009, while working for Citibank, Cynthia was diagnosed with head and neck cancer. After undergoing extensive surgery, she was left unable to eat or speak. Her colleagues at Citibank feared people wouldn't have the patience to communicate with her, so she took a leave of absence. During this time she applied to FINRA and the SEC and felt empowered to start her own company for the next chapter, Tigress Financial Partners. Cynthia was inspired by 'Tigress' because it meant strong female. Her firm is a woman owned and operated service that provides research, corporate and executive services, asset management, sales and trading, wealth management and investment banking services. She also serves as the Chair of Greater New York Chamber of Commerce. In our conversation with Cynthia, we learn about how she climbed the Wall Street ladder in the 1980’s when the so called 'glass ceiling' was actually a really thick brick ceiling. We talk about her devastating personal complication in 2009, and how did she find the strength to bounce back even higher? And why, today, she describes herself, her approach to money, as a conscious capitalist. So, what does that mean exactly?

Today's guest is a New York Times bestselling author. Chris Guillebeau has written "The Happiness of Pursuit," "The $100 Startup" and now "Born for This: How to Find the Work You Were Meant to Do", which is out today. In his latest book, Chris talks about the intersection of joy, money and flow, which he thinks are all key to help you mind the work that perfectly suits your unique interests, skills and experiences. We'll talk about this. More about Chris Guillebeau... he has spent his lifetime self-employed so he knows a thing about being an entrepreneur. His real passion is traveling. He has visited every country in the world (yes, 193 in total) before his 35th birthday. He also hosts a yearly summit every summer in Portland, Oregon called the World Domination Summit where creative people come together to attend keynotes, attendee-led meet-ups, workshops, a city-wide scavenger hunt and even a Guinness World Record attempt. So, if you're planning on being in Portland, OR in August you might want to check it out. In our interview, Chris talks about how his new book is really meant to help people win the career lottery. But what does he actually mean by that? That term actually makes me nervous because when I think of career lottery, you have no control over your career path and I would hate to believe that. Plus, did you know that Chris has been to Iran? He kind of puts me to shame because I’m Iranian and I’ve only been there once and was way too young to remember. So, he tells me a little bit about that experience. Also, what's his $10 rule? And what is a $10 rule? Of course, we talk about money, too.

We have a former Victoria Secret Model. Anyone here remember getting the catalogue growing up in the 90’s? We used to get the catalogue and it wasn’t very risqué back then. The woman who was in that catalogue more than any other woman that I remember growing up was Frederique. She was a famous super model back then. Little did I know, this woman was quite the entrepreneur as well. Back then, models were starting to become more household names. They were more than just a face and a body, they were individuals that had personalities and you knew where they were from and maybe they had some side businesses. Now, 30 years later (probably) here I am interviewing the one and only Frederique. She’s doing some press right now because she’s promoting a new E-commerce site that she created called Frederique’s Choice. It’s the ultimate location for beautiful curated flowers, directly from the growers and where every bouquet tells a story. So, I’m curious to find out why Frederique wanted to start this particular kind of business? Also, since she began her journey as a model, how she parleyed that into entrepreneurship and what kind of business she likes to go in to. Also how did modeling create a platform for her to be able to be a business woman. Frederique is from Holland and she really believes growing up in that country gave her this down to earthiness that she was able to use as an asset, as a model and then later as an entrepreneur.

Caroline has worked with executives from major companies like American Express, Amazon, Conde Nast, Gilt, Goldman Sachs, Google and many others.

She'll be the first to tell you that it isn't. This wouldn't be an episode about careers if you didn't dive into negotiation. We talk all about how to do it and how to deal with a crazy boss. Do you have one? You might have one in the future. What to do with a difficult boss who's making your job miserable. Personally, I have some experience with this, and I give some of my advice, too.

s anyone listening in today a fan of Uber or Lyft? I rely on Uber a lot. It might be one of those things that I "splurge" on to make my life easier or better at times, like I ask of my guests at the end of the show. There's a point to all of this I promise. Today's guest was once a full-time aerospace engineer and a part-time Uber, Lyft and Sidecar driver. Harry Campbell discovered Rideshare as a passenger several years ago and when he moved from San Diego to Orange County and decided to give it a try as a driver. We get into why in our interview today. Harry thought driving was a fun, flexible way to earn extra income. He found himself liking the flexibility in hours and enjoyed how it felt like running his own mini-business. Harry was interested in finding resources for drivers who were just starting out but realized there were little out there. That's when his blog The RideShare Guy was born. In early 2015, Harry actually left his job as an engineer to pursue blogging full-time. He also is a tech contributor to Forbes and hosts his own podcast The RideShare Guy. In the interview I want to know first and foremost why he made the transition to The Rideshare Guy Blog and why he wanted to quit aerospace engineering. What kind of fulfillment he finds in this new job that he wasn’t finding in his previous job? Is it really a practical way to make extra money? I know that some of you have even written in, wondering if, “Hey, I’m thinking of taking on Uber or Lyft as a part time side gig. Should I do this? Is it worth my money and time? Because obviously, you have to invest in a car and gas and maintenance and all of that." He talks about whether it’s worth it, who should be doing this and who shouldn’t. He also has really established a cool brand for himself. He’s out there speaking, he’s partnering with brands, he’s got sponsorships on the website and now he's got the podcast. He’s really growing a little bit of an empire here. So, I want to ask him about that and how he learned how to do this. I don’t think they teach you this in aerospace engineering school, right? He breaks it down for us. For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

I’m reconnecting with today's guest, Aaron LaPedis. He’s someone I interviewed years ago, back when I was working on a show called Financially Fit with Yahoo! It was a fun time and I got to travel around the country interviewing people who had some really cool financial lifestyles - like, people who lived in tiny homes, people who have retired by 40 and then Aaron was somebody that was the “Garage Sale Millionaire." Aaron is a millionaire next door who created wealth for himself through finding really interesting stuff and then reselling it. Whether it’s on eBay or to individuals on Craigslist. He’s from Denver and he’s the author of "The Garage Sale Millionaire: Make Money with Hidden Finds from Garage Sales to Storage Unit Auctions and Everything in Between," a bestselling book. Now he’s working on a second book, a children’s book dedicated to his son and all kids out there who have autism. It’s called, "A Boy Named Penguin." That comes out very soon so stay tuned for more information on that. Aaron is really taking advantage of his millionaire status by doing what he loves. Right now, he’s running an art gallery in Denver and writing the children’s book that he is very passionate about. He’s also out there giving speeches. He is living the life he deserves because he has actually put in the hard work. So we’re going to talk about how he became a garage sale expert. How maybe we could learn a thing or two about what to pick up at the next yard sale so we can cash in. We also talk about how he attributes a lot of his financial success to making the right calls, being diligent and having this "garage sale savvy." But he also encountered a very life-threatening moment in his life and that was a catalyst for him to really make the most of, not just his finances, but of his overall life and happiness.

Today's millionaire next door has an interesting story of his own to share. He moved to the United States from India with his parents when he was just two years old and had to completely start over. They had just $25 to their name. Rocky Lalvani said his parents were the epitome of the American Dream, working hard to provide for their family and teaching him important principles to live well along the way. We're going to discuss what the principles are in our interview. Rocky has worked his entire life and he reached millionaire next door status in his 40's by working hard, saving, and staying away from debt. But, it wasn't without some turbulence. Rocky experienced two market crashes and yet was still able to end up with seven figures. Now, he's 50 years old, continues to live a frugal life. You'll hear for yourself but Rocky says that he and his wife live a rich, abundant life without the price tag.I was really interested to learn about his immigrant background, how he runs numbers. How does he actually know how much to save, how much to invest, how much he's going to need for retirement? He does plan to retire in the next five, six or seven years. Plus, Rocky shares one fast tip for all of us on how to actually avoid feeling like we need to keep buying things. I share my own story about how I did this and Rocky gives his own story, and I think it's a really fascinating and important takeaway for all of us.For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

It's Millionaire Next Door week on So Money. This is going to be an exciting week, and it is all thanks to your feedback. Many of your wrote in saying how much you enjoyed the first Millionaire Next Door series that we did in August. It was so popular that I decided to do a Part II. Because as it turns out, which is good news, there are so many successful people out there, who started from humble beginnings, who started making average salaries, who ended up becoming part of the 1%. I know the 1% often gets a bad rap, but there's truly something to be proud of when you reach millionaire status. It's not something that's easy. It's takes discipline, it takes effort, it takes consciousness. And so this week is going be dedicated to talking to everyday men and women who have reached this status and how they did it and maybe we could learn a thing or two along the way.Kicking us off is MaryEllen Miller who is a real estate investor from San Antonio, Texas, also Des Moines, Iowa. From an early age MaryEllen found that she was fascinated by money. How people make it, how they spend it. She followed the route that most people take, which is to get an eduction followed by a corporate job. Sound familiar? But by midlife she realized money was not the goal, it was how money could and should be used to create a "wealthy life." MaryEllen tells me that she's experienced living in every socio-economic class, from poverty, qualifying for government cheese, to now becoming a member of the 1%. And believe it or not, she didn't even realize when she hit the $1 million net worth mark. Her mission is now to help people create a wealthy life full of both money and meaning.For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Jennifer Wilkov is our So Money guest today. She is a woman who survived being victimized by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and incarcerated in one of New York’s and the Nation’s most violent prisons, Rikers Island. Why? Because this was a result of inappropriately being told to plead guilty to a crime she did not commit, she says. Shortly thereafter, the financial industry regulatory authority exonerated her, claiming she was innocent and Jennifer went on to continue to succeed as an author, a media personality, an entrepreneur and a speaker. Today, she is the founder and producer of Speak Up Women because she wants women to speak up. That’s one thing that she felt she couldn’t do at the time of her imprisonment. Today, she is a number one radio show host, a number one international best-selling award winning author. Can you believe it? Somebody who goes through such a tragedy is able to now come out on the other side of that not only helping herself but helping so many other women.

I am going down memory lane today. I’ve invited my friend from college. Mike Still is here and he’s going to become a household name very soon - I promise you. Mike and I were both in the honor’s college at Penn State and also in a theatre club. He was a phenomenal actor but also talented in many other ways- a great student, public speaker and leader. Interestingly enough, Mike pursued his deepest passion, acting. Of course, he became very successful because that’s who he is. He’s had a very successful commercial acting career and also, television. He’s been very busy and most recently, I saw him in an article in Fast Company Magazine, calling him, “The Next Lorne Michaels”. Yes, the next Lorne Michaels. Mike is now the artistic director of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles. It’s an improvisational and sketch comedy training center. It’s the only accredited improv and sketch comedy school in the country. Lots of SNL stars got started at the Upright Citizens Brigade, which is why I believe that Fast Company is calling Mike the next Lorne Michaels. People like Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh, Rick Roman, Horatio Sanz all came from UCB and so Mike is in a pretty powerful position, I have to say and all the while, he’s still trying to work at his own acting career. We talk about that reconciling those two worlds, what he thinks is the “It factor” right now as people are trying to breakthrough in comedy and acting. Since he’s on the forefront of that. Also, what’s his take? For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
