Run your business smarter with Square.
Get started today.
I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand.
It's time for some money rehab.
Today's episode is a double header with a power couple I know you're going to love.
In the first part of the conversation, I'm talking to the one, the only Darren Kagan.
And let me tell you, if teenage Nicole had a vision board, this woman's face would have been front and center.
Before the world of social media and influencers, Darren was a trailblazing journalist covering some of the biggest stories of our time, from the Gulf War to 9-11, as a lead anchor at CNN.
I never, ever even dreamed that our worlds would intersect, but they did.
And we tell that story today.
Darren was not only working my dream job at CNN, it was her dream job, too.
But as you'll hear in this episode, even dream jobs can come to an end.
Darren opens up about how she found out her contract at CNN wasn't renewing and the questions that she will never have the answers to.
She told me what came next and how she redefined success on her own terms.
If you have ever felt like your career took a left turn that you did not see coming.
This conversation is one you need to hear.
After the break, you'll hear from Darren's husband, Trent Swanson, a.k.a.
Miles' husband.
What started out as a small experiment to earn two free flights to Miami turned into jet setting across the globe in first class.
Yes, I have seen the receipts.
