As America’s leading personal finance expert, Farnoosh Torabi is on a mission to help all of us live our richest, most fulfilling lives. She’s also the author of three best-selling books—You’re So Money, Psych Yourself Rich, and When She Makes More—which all aim to make money talk less “icky” and more Instagrammable.But like most success stories, Farnoosh “started from the bottom now she’s here.”

At 22, Farnoosh was living in New York City with over $30,000 in debt. She was making $18 an hour before taxes with a master’s degree. Sound familiar?

So, how did she do it and become one of the most popular podcasters in America?

In this fireside chat, we learn more about her career, how she leveraged a podcast to build a successful brand, and how she paid off that debt—so you can too!
