What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Today, I'm having a conversation with Laura Wasser, one of the most well-known divorce lawyers in the country. And yes, Laura is the person people call when a marriage is ending. But what makes this conversation so useful is that so much of what she knows matters long before anyone gets divorced. Laura's work sits at the intersection of love money power family and the law she's seen what happens when people enter marriage without really understanding the contract they're signing she has seen smart capable women abdicate financial responsibility because it feels easier not to know and she's seen how quickly a private relationship can become a legal and financial system So we talk about the conversations every couple should have before marriage, why prenups are less scary than people think, what every woman should know about her money and how divorce can become less destructive when people slow down, get informed and stop giving away their power.
What I kept thinking throughout this conversation is that protecting yourself does not make you less romantic. It makes you honest about the life you are actually building with someone. This is Laura Wasser. If you live in a city where there's a major event happening this summer, a concert series, a tournament, a festival, the demand for places to stay goes up significantly. Hotels book out and travelers start looking everywhere else for somewhere to stay. If you happen to be away during one of those windows, that's exactly when your home could be working for someone else. You could list your space on Airbnb while you're traveling and let it earn a little extra income during the weeks that you're not in it.
It's the kind of move that fits realistically into how you already live. This is also the season where most calendars fill up regardless, work trips, family visits, long weekends. Whether or not your city has an event, these are the moments worth thinking about. Airbnb is a smart way to make use of an asset that's otherwise just sitting there. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com slash host.

Lara Wasa, welcome to Aspire. Thank you. I'm happy to be here. I have to tell you, this morning when my husband saw that you were on my schedule, it was like a minor freak out. He's like, what are you doing? I was like, calm down. It's just an interview. You don't need to panic. Is that quite usual for you?
Yes, I get that a lot. Also, you know, people in LA, a lot of people do lunch. I don't do lunch. Nobody wants to see me at lunch with their spouse or hear that I was at lunch.
That is so true. It's so true. So you're like uninvited. Yes. Well, there's a reason for that because, of course, people know you as one of the most, if not the most famous divorce lawyer on the planet.
