About this episode

Today’s interview is with Jessica Knoll, the bestselling author of Luckiest Girl Alive along with other books and the courageous woman who announced to the world “I Want To Be Rich And I’m Not Sorry” via an opinion piece in The New York Times.

Jessica sits down with us to share why she thinks it’s hard for women to share their ambition to be rich, why there are conflicting messages around women and money along with how we can combat them, and, of course, whether or not Jessica does indeed consider herself to be rich.
