This episode was taped in the Money News Network studio, brought to you by US Bank.

I'm Nicole Lapin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand.

It's time for some money rehab.

If you only know Emma Hearnan from selling sunset, buckle up because you are underestimating her.

And she knows it.

Emma isn't just a real estate agent and a reality TV star.

She's also a business powerhouse who started investing in her own family business as a teenager,

built a vertically integrated food empire from

scratch, and still found time to close luxury deals. She also happens to be just as lovely

off screen as she is on screen. She has such a big heart. And look no further for proof of that

than the jingling that you hear in this episode. Off camera, Emma's sweet, sweet dog was trying

to sit on her lap the entire episode and then ultimately wins. If you're watching on Spotify or

YouTube, you'll see this super sweet moment. We cover all of it. Emma tells me how she was affected

by watching her mom take out a home equity line of credit on their house,

lessons from running a family business, and we even talk dating and what it's like being your own rich boyfriend. Don't worry, I will explain. We also, of course, talk about selling

sunset. We cover how the show has changed her life, the business and personal fallout from last

season's mega drama, and the actual finances behind

filming the show. Spoiler alert, if you think these cast members make money just for showing up,

think again. Also, when the cameras weren't rolling, she gave me the TLDR on this season,

which comes out this week. And holy moly, you're going to have to see this stuff to believe it.

Here's Emma.
