So Money with Farnoosh Torabi

Last week, I had the great honor of greeting Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz at Stacks House and interviewing her in front of a live audience. We're grateful to have Schwab as one our partners at Stacks House. Together we developed the Retirement Rodeo that houses our famous mechanical piggy bank. Our goal was to bring to life the importance of saving for retirement through an unmatched, memorable experience. Our bucking savings pig illustrates the ups and downs of the stock market and why it's important to hold on.We were excited for Carrie's visit, not just so she could get a chance to experience Stacks House, but because she is such a leading advocate for financial literacy. She is one of America’s most trusted sources for financial advice and has devoted her career to helping men and women from all walks of life achieve financial security.Carrie and I talk about her early days working for her father, the great Charle Schwab, the challenges women face when it comes to securing their futures and what we can do about it, as well as the biggest mistake she ever made with her money.As many of you know, I’m also working with Charles Schwab to help spread financial literacy to the masses and it's been a really great collaboration so far.
