| 0:11.4 | Manisha Thacker here who has worked in financial services for over 30 years with an emphasis |
| 0:17.1 | on women's economic empowerment and financial well-being. A nationally recognized thought |
| 0:21.6 | leader in this space. She has been featured in a wide range of publications including Wall |
| 0:26.0 | Street Journal, New York Times, NPR, PBS, CNN, CNBC, real simple and women's health, |
| 0:33.0 | author of several finance books for women in their 20s and 30s. And here today to talk |
| 0:36.6 | to us about her newest book, Money Zen, Manisha, I just, I loved this book and I'm so excited |
