Today's episode features the founder of EconoMe, Diania Merriam. Diania wasn't always into money. She had her time in New York where she went through a phase many of us struggle with -- blowing money and living it up in our 20s. Diania decided to revamp her lifestyle but wanted to do so without giving up the experiences. She traded going out to eat for hosting dinner parties. Instead of going out shopping, she hosted clothes swaps. Then, Diania took it a step further by relocating to Cincinnati -- a city where she still feels like she has the amenities of a big city for a fraction of the New York price tag. After pursuing financial independence for a few years, Diania wanted to build a conference that inspired people and recharged their passion for personal finance. She knew she wanted something that was in person, had a high production value, and that gave a ton of value in a small amount of time. That's where EconoMe was born!
