Former Wall Street Trader Reveals The Money Truth No One Taught You | Vivian Tu
The School of Greatness
Proximity to Wealth and Soft Skills Matter
Vivian explains how growing up near wealth teaches unspoken rules and soft skills that open opportunities.
Vivian Tu walked away from Wall Street to teach a different kind of wealth building, one that starts with conversations nobody wants to have. She exposes the uncomfortable truth about proximity and money: the rich stay rich partly because they grew up watching how wealth actually works, learning the unspoken rules at dinner tables and country clubs while everyone else was left guessing. Her approach to financial success isn't about grinding harder or cutting out coffee, it's about understanding that being likable often trumps being the smartest person in the room, that your relationships with money will make or break your relationships with people, and that real wealth protection starts with conversations most couples avoid until it's too late. You'll walk away knowing exactly how to position yourself as irreplaceable at work, why women especially need their own money regardless of who they marry, and how a prenup is actually an act of love rather than a sign of distrust.
