#309 Becoming a Financial Grownup

We started the show by spending a couple segments chatting with Ryan from Virginia, who is determined to turn over a new leaf and get his financial life in order.  He wants to eliminate all of his debt over the next couple years and was looking for some pointers.  I'm confident that Ryan is going to stick to his plan and will soon be redirecting a surplus of cash into saving for retirement.

Hour two is all about helping callers like Ryan become financial grownups.  And so it's good timing that our guest, Bobbi Rebell, recently debuted her new book, How to Be a Financial Grownup.

Working in the financial journalism world for a quite a while now, Bobbi thought it would be a good idea to tap into various business leaders and tell their stories to help all of you out there better manage your finances and pay more attention to your financial well-being.

Some of those who shared stories for the book include:

  • Ivanka Trump (how about that for timing?)
  • Tony Robbins
  • Drew Barrymore
  • Jim Cramer

There are plenty of others but you get the point.  Bobbi chatted with some really high level business leaders.  The stories are intended to walk you through some of the biggest money decisions you'll make regarding real estate, investing, planning for retirement, debt, careers, health and wellness and more.

Check it out, you may hear some information that allows you to make choices that are right for you.

P.S. We have a new podcast!  It's called Better Off and it's sponsored by Betterment.  It's similar to the radio show yet a bit different.  We'd love hear your feedback!  You can download it via iTunes, Spotify or Google Play.  If possible, please leave a rating and/or review in iTunes.

#308 The Power of Women with Sallie Krawchek

Before we discuss women and power with our guest...you know the deal, we had to first take some listener questions.  Keith from Connecticut gave us a call with a question about a career change and then we chatted with William from San Diego for a couple segments about his retirement plan.  Let's just say this guy is headed in the right direction...

Last year on Jill on Money we had some pretty big female names on the show.  I'd say my favorite was Alysia Reiner.  It's early but I think I may have found my favorite for 2017.

Wall Street veteran Sallie Krawcheck.  With the release of her new book, Own It: The Power of Women at Work, Sallie was nice enough to spend an hour with us in the studio.

Sallie is the co-founder and CEO of Ellevest, an innovative digital investment platform designed to help women reach their financial goals. She is also chair of Ellevate Network; a professional networking community whose mission is to advance women in business. She is one of the highest ranked women ever to have worked on Wall Street, having held posts such as CEO of Smith Barney, CEO of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and CFO of Citigroup.

Sallie believes the rapidly changing business world plays directly to women’s strengths. She draws on her experiences at the highest levels of business, both as one of the few women at the top rungs of Wall Street, and as an entrepreneur, to show women how to take their careers to the next level.

And to all our male listeners out there, relax, it's not just a book for women -- it has something for everyone, including how to bounce back from career setbacks, even public ones.

#307 The Science of Sales and Selling

Before we discuss the science of sales and selling with our guest in the second hour we answered some of your great questions in hour one.  First up was Matt in Pennsylvania, who wanted to run his long-term game plan by us; then it was Harold in Boston with a real estate question.

Now to the guest...

As you've heard me say over the years, a large part of working in finance involves sales.  In many ways it is a sales job.  But then again, every one of us incorporates sales in everything we do.  Whether I'm on the radio or TV or you hear me on the Better Off podcast, I'm trying to sell you that content.  That story, that topic, that piece of advice...I want you to buy into what I'm saying.

I've been working in the finance world for nearly 30 years...meaning I've worked in sales just as long.  But hey, it's a science, so I'm still learning.  That's why we decided to have David Hoffeld, author of "The Science of Selling," on the show.

As David discusses in his book, there are decades of behavioral science research that reveal the specific behaviors that will improve your ability to positively influence others.  The research applies to those working in sales, as well as every other worker, team member, leader and even parent!

Give it a listen, you may pick up some helpful strategies to make your pitch, influence decision makers and close the deal!
