Hey Boss Ladies! 💼✨
In this episode, we’re getting into money mindset, financial planning, and the real talk behind building wealth as a woman in business.
I sat down with Lauren Chillinsky, a financial advisor with Northwestern Mutual (aka a total money boss), and we talked about everything from compound interest to why collaboration over competition is the key to growth in life and in business.
Lauren shares the power of starting small, the importance of diversifying your financial accounts, and why the best time to start is always right now.
This isn’t your average money convo; it’s relatable, energizing, and packed with boss lady wisdom to help you level up your finances and your mindset.
💡 If you’re a woman entrepreneur wondering where to start with investing, saving, or planning for retirement, this episode is your sign.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
