There is one subject that is pertinent to all of our lives. But the curious thing is that this topic is commonly overlooked throughout our journey through the educational system. It is rarely taught in high school or even required at the collegiate level. The subject I am referring to is personal finance.
For whatever reason, we spend the majority of our young lives being prepared to enter the "real world" to pursue a career and make money, yet we never learn what to do with this money when we have it. Today's guest is on a mission to educate the masses on common and not-so-common financial pitfalls and learnings. Bobbi Rebell is an award-winning journalist and advocate for financial literacy. She currently leads the U.S. business video unit for Reuters, the largest news organization in the world. And lucky for us, she just released her new book How to Be a Financial Grownup.
In this episode, Bobbi and I discuss a wide array of financial elements that millennials should be aware of. For the book, she interviewed 30 top business leaders to better understand how these high achievers think about their own personal finances, and the challenges they faced early in their careers. There are a lot of learnings in this one, and I highly encourage you to check out her new book.
