Farnoosh Torabi, author and host of the award-winning podcast So Money, joins the Journey to Launch podcast to talk about her new book, “A Healthy State Of Panic: Follow Your Fears To Build Wealth, Crush Your Career And Win At Life.”

Farnoosh is America's leading personal finance expert, hooked on helping you live your richest, most fulfilling life. She has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, Good Morning America, and more. So Money, her podcast of 9 years, has over 30 million downloads.

We chat about how Farnoosh’s parents raised her to have a healthy state of panic and how it informs her perception of personal finance today, how fear can be a signal to move forward with your big goals, FOMO, and more.

In this episode you’ll learn more about:

Why we need to embrace fear instead of aim for the unrealistic characteristic of “fearless”
The power of asking yourself, “What’s the worst that can happen?” + moving through the consequences of not acting on those fears
How identifying, in detail, what your fear is, can give you clear steps to change it
What FOMO is, why it matters to your money, how the comparison game accelerates this feeling, Farnoosh’s stand-up comedy career + more
