Summary
Guest: Jen Sincero, #1 NY Times bestselling author of You are a Badass and You are a Badass at Making Money.
Story: From playing in a band and living in a garage in Venice Beach, CA to building a career as an internationally acclaimed and massively successful writer on her own terms.
Big idea(s): Stepping into your true identity changes everything. Money is not the enemy, it is a conduit for expression and impact.

Current passion project: Her new book, You are a Badass at Making Money.
