How Do We Manage When Women Aren’t Taught About Money?
It’s one of life’s last remaining taboo subjects...Money. What we earn, what we save and how we spend is mostly shrouded in secrecy. And in a world where the earning power and purse strings are still so often held by men, tackling the issue head on can be particularly challenging for women.
Today’s guest is on a mission to change that. Bola Sol is a financial advisor, a money columnist and the author of two books, “Your Money Life” and “How To Save It”, which aim to help us better understand how to manage our money. She is also making it her mission to empower women around the world to take control of their finances.
Bola and Stephanie discuss what it was like being a woman of colour in the world of corporate finance, why schools are failing us when it comes to teaching kids about money, and why getting women in a room together to talk about all things financial is so important.
Bola also shares tips on the best ways to invest, save, budget and educate our children around money. We can all come away from this episode a little richer.

How Do We Manage to Stop Freaking Out About AI?
Are you excited or frightened by AI? Is it helping us cope with everyday life more effectively – or destroying human creativity and agency?
These are some of the big questions tackled in today’s conversation with Greg Beato – a tech writer and co-author of the book “SuperAgency - What Could Possibly Go Right With Our Future”.
Written with LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, the book explores the ways we can make AI work for us rather than against us – and encourages us all to get excited about the possibilities of the future.
Greg and Stephanie discuss why AI is the biggest technological breakthrough in 300 years, what it means for our concept of privacy, the dangers it might present, and how to really use AI to our advantage.
This chat is a deep dive into what the future of technology can and will look like and how to really embrace it.
