Brown Ambition

We're thrilled to FINALLY welcome Farnoosh Torabi to the show. She's the brilliant mind and cohost behind the So Money Podcast, author of several books on financial empowerment books and a forever entrepreneur who's launching a new venture this spring (and, oh yeah — a mom of two!).That new venture is called Stacks House, a "pop-up with a purpose" that seeks to empower women to take their finances by the horns and start building wealth. Farnoosh gets real about how motherhood helped her double her income as an entrepreneur and how she manages the daily grind of work and raising two kids under the age of five.As mentioned on the show, check out Farnoosh's recent column on Refinery29: "This Is The Secret To Being A Successful Working Mom".Note to listeners: We had a slight issue with our audio this week, so apologies in advance for one or two small areas where you'll hear an echo.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We have a very special show for you today! We are joined by the incomparable Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, who has made it her mission to financially educate and empower the masses ever since launching her personal finance coaching business in 2003. On today's show, Lynnette gets candid about building a business about her husband, raising three kids student debt-free, and making her dreams a reality — to create multi-generational wealth that offers her children and their children a boost she didn't have. "I'm trying to literally invest in my kids themselves. I’m trying to give them a leg up and do so in a way where not only am I telling them I have a great deal of faith and confidence in them, I'm laying out expectations as well," she told us in our conversation this week.
