About this conversation

In one of her first podcast interviews for Rich Bitch, Nicole sat down with financial journalist Farnoosh Torabi on So Money. Per the show’s official episode notes, the conversation traces Nicole’s path from teenage newsroom hire to business anchor at CNN, CNBC, and Bloomberg Television, and to money correspondent for The Wendy Williams Show and The Insider.

The heart of the episode is the story behind Rich Bitch: a 12-step plan in which Nicole shares her own money experiences, mistakes included, and makes the case for dropping the taboo around talking about money at all.

Key takeaways

  • Money is an "off-limits" topic for too many people, and silence is exactly what keeps them stuck.
  • Owning your money mistakes publicly is more useful to readers than pretending you never made any.
  • You don’t need a finance degree to master personal finance, Nicole learned it on the job, in public.
