Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
Tracy DiNunzio on Resilience, Raising Money, and Guest Hosting the Pod

So you can't like rule out or negate any, but for me personally, like I always viewed my business through the numbers, right? What else is there in a business? And I had the mental map of all of the mechanics of how money flowed through the various parts of the business.

And so when somebody would come up with an idea, I would float the idea through my mental map and see how the money moved through the system and whether enough came through. And that was based on understanding what assumptions drove our revenue.

And so when I meet founders who don't understand what the levers are in their business, from a math perspective or a money perspective, I have a hard time having the most exciting types of conversations with them because it's a different lens. So, yeah, that was always just my lens.

Totally equal or the same or you understand it all because you understand different worlds. I was flummoxed by personal finance for a long time. I was so busy building these like large complex businesses with massive P&Ls that once I had some money in my own bank account, I really called you and I was like, I don't know what to do. I'm afraid to let any of it go or put it anywhere.

And I didn't know the lingo. And it felt very, very challenging to dive into a whole different world where the money, the mental map and the money map flows a little bit differently. And frankly, I wasn't used to managing money that was mine personally. I was used to managing investor capital. And so it's a different mind frame when it's your own money.
