Ep #109: When She Makes More - An Interview With Farnoosh Torabi

We're really excited about our guest, Farnoosh Torabi, because a lot of you will be meeting her later this year at #XYPN17! Farnoosh is one of our keynote speakers, and on this episode she gives a little sneak preview of what she'll be talking about.

Farnoosh kicks things off by telling us how she became one of the country's most popular financial experts. After studying finance in college, she decided she wanted to marry her expertise with money to her fascination with journalism so she could spread her knowledge to people of all walks of life.

We also talk about why and how she wrote her first book, You're So Money, and how she capitalized on its success to build her media career. Then she shares a little about what she'll dive into at #XYPN17 - the challenges of planning for couples when a woman in a partnership is the primary breadwinner.
