Investing is not just for the wealthy. It is for broke millennials, too. We're welcoming back on the show my friend Erin Lowry, a personal finance expert. She started the crazy, popular blog called Broke Millennial years ago, as a way to share her own useful financial tips with her peers. The blog blossomed into a book by the same name, Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together, which came out in 2017. After the success of that first book, Erin is now back this year with her second book called Broke Millennial Takes On Investing: A Beginner’s Guide To Leveling Up Your Money. It just came out. In many ways, this book complements the first, which is all about helping millennials level up and realize that investing can be simple, it can be done, it's approachable, it's fun, all the things. Such a needed book, because I know a lot of you have questions about where to begin when it comes to investing; what stocks to pick, where to put your money, 401K versus IRA, Roth IRA versus traditional IRA. Erin's going to help us dissect all of this. PS, she's embarking on a multi-city book tour to promote this book. We're going to talk about where you might be able to meet her, including at Stacks House in Los Angeles. Very excited to welcome her back on the show.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our guest today is Alex Banayan, who grew up in Southern California. The son of Iranian immigrants who had financial struggles and wished for Alex to experience a better life. And while he didn’t quite meet their initial expectations. (like many Iranian parents, he was encouraged to become a doctor, a lawyer, an academic), the 26-year-old has today accomplished more than many do in a lifetime. Frustrated at school and tempted to venture on his own to discover the secrets to success, he dropped out and embarked on a quest to interview some of the most accomplished and most difficult people to reach, Bill Gates, Quincy Jones, Maya Angelou, many more. Their conversations and Alex’s own coming of age story and how he managed to score these interviews are in his book, The Third Door: The Wild Quest to Uncover How the World’s Most Successful People Launched their Careers. How did Alex land these interviews? What’s the meaning of the third door? And how did winning the price is right contribute to all of this? We’re in for a treat, I have a special cohost with me today, George Itzhak, who is a producer for NBC news, a friend of mine and an incredible human being who has been on this show as a guest before on So Money.George actually found Alex for me, recommended him for this podcast, loved his idea and we all decided, let’s get together, we went to NBC studios and recorded this. One of the few times I actually left my apartment to record an interview. This is a special one. For more visit www.thirddoorbook.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
