Ep. 93 How To Start Investing, Clear Your Debt & Take Control Of Your Finances With Simran Kaur

Ep. 93 How To Start Investing, Clear Your Debt & Take Control Of Your Finances With Simran Kaur
Simran Kaur is a VC, angel investor, financial columnist and the founder of Girls That Invest, the world’s largest investing podcast for women. She’s received so many accolades in her time, from Young New Zealander of the Year, to Forbes30u30, but she’s started out in healthcare as an optometrist who read a few research papers on investing. Her journey is fascinating, and she was so so full of actionable advice. My favourite quote of hers is, ‘it takes someone intelligent to explain something simply’. She is a quintessential example of exactly that.+SIMRAN'S LINKS:Girls That Invest: https://girlsthatinvest.com/GTI Podcast: https://girlsthatinvest.com/pages/podcastInstagram:+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+SPONSOR: This podcast is sponsored by Skin & Me, a brand whose products have genuinely changed my life.

Ep. 86 How To Change Your Relationship With Your Finances Forever With Vivian Tu

Ep. 86 How To Change Your Relationship With Your Finances Forever With Vivian Tu
Vivian Tu wants to change our relationship with finances forever, and her story is incredible. Vivian is a first-generation Asian American, who grafted her way to Wall Street, facing misogyny and racism on her way. She spent years on the trading floors, making the kind of money she always dreamed of, in an environment where she was one of only two women on her team. When she left finance & moved into a strategy role, she noticed she was always the go-to person for money-making questions, tax returns, investing, pensions. Becoming increasingly worried by the amount of dodgy information regarding finance online, she started making her own educational content under the handle ‘Your Rich BFF’. Now, she has over 6 million followers and a best-selling book to her name. She says her aim is to teach everyone the “lessons that rich dads have been teaching their rich sons on the golf course." I can’t wait to speak to Vivian about her story. + VIVIAN'S LINKS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/your.richbff/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yourrichbff Vivian's book Rich AF: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/456914/rich-af-by-tu-vivian/9780241644959 +MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+Download Revolut for free and get £20 when you use your card! www.revolut.com/graceCashback subject to availability.

Ep. 85 The Habit Theory That Changed My Life, Explained
When I started the podcast I wanted it to be all about life improvement from every angle, not just the ones we're all taught about.We've put so much effort into improving the guest episodes this year, but if I'm totally honest I felt the solo episodes needed re-vamping to make them the most useful resource possible. I LOVE explainer podcasts on everything from history to celebrity scandals. So we're trialling a new 15-minute explainer format. I’ve given myself an excuse to spend hours researching the topics I wish I knew more about so you don’t need to read a whole book to understand something important.So I've started with one of the most important things I've researched over the last few years: habit theory and why everyone on Instagram says it changed their life (including me).The episode is only 15 minutes long, so perfect for your morning hot girl walk!

Ep. 82 The Real Story Behind Odd Muse With Aimee Smale
It’s safe to say that Aimee Smale has had a whirlwind few years. Aged just 21 she left her job at Asos to found Odd Muse, a fashion brand known for tailoring and sleek silhouettes. She openly admits she had no experience running a business, yet within her first three months, she’d made over £100,000 after her designs captured huge audiences online.

Ep. 81 All The Fertility Questions You’ve Been Scared To Ask with Dr Helen O’Neill

Ep. 81 All The Fertility Questions You’ve Been Scared To Ask with Dr Helen O’Neill
Dr Helen O’Neill is a leading expert in reproductive science, she’s a lecturer in reproductive and molecular genetics at University College London, she has a Masters in Prenatal Genetics and Fetal Medicine and a PhD in Stem Cell Biology. She is also the founder and CEO of Hertility Health, an award-winning bio-tech business specialising in fertility testing that has raised over £5 million since launch. Fertility is obviously a hugely sensitive topic, but it’s also one that we never talk about for exactly that reason. When I started this podcast, I wanted it to cover the important topics that we never get taught, and I learnt so so much from Helen that I really couldn’t believe I haven’t researched or known before. If you’re thinking about switching off right now because you find the idea of fertility testing terrifying like I do, I promise you it’s worth sticking it out and listening to this one. However, if you are someone who is currently struggling to conceive, or finds fertility conversations particularly hard, this is an episode to skip.

Ep. 80 How To Rewire Your Brain For Resilience + Success With Professor Steve Peters
Professor Steve Peters has more Olympic medals and world championships to his name than you can count, with accolades in sports from athletics to football, cycling and snooker. But here’s the catch, he hasn’t ever played these sports professionally. Instead, he’s the ‘brain mechanic’ behind the world’s most successful teams and individuals, from England Football to British Cycling. In fact, Snooker World Champion Ronnie O’Sullivan credits Peters with his success.  His advice was incredible, and I can’t wait for you to listen to this one. It is such an honour to have such impressive and intelligent people in my office for this podcast, so I hope you enjoy listening. The Chimp Paradox: https://chimpmanagement.com/books-by-professor-steve-peters/the-chimp-paradox/A Path Through The Jungle: https://chimpmanagement.com/books-by-professor-steve-peters/a-path-through-the-jungle/+Download Revolut for free and get £20 when you use your card! www.revolut.com/graceCashback subject to availability.
