What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I'm about to head out on a trip for 10 whole days. I'm actually not going far from my home in LA. I wanted to minimize travel time and maximize leisure.
What early money mistakes did Emma Grede make?
I'm going to put the out of office up on my inbox and retreat from the world to rest. I don't think I've ever gone away that long in my entire life. Certainly not in the last 20 years.
How did Emma's £45K vs. £150K experience shape her views on pay?
Honestly, it's a little scary. What will happen at work if I'm not always in my inbox and working on deals? As you can tell, I have a lot of anxiety about going and guilt. One thing that helps me feel better about taking a break is that I know I can list my space on Airbnb while I'm away. Instead of sitting empty, your space can generate some extra income and help offset the cost of travel.
What lesson did Emma learn from Good American's $1M Day One?
It's a simple, practical way to make use of what you already have. If you've got upcoming travel plans, it's the perfect opportunity to list your space. And now, hosting is easier than ever with Airbnb's co-host network. You can hire a vetted local co-host to take care of the details for you. A co-host can create your listing, manage reservations, handle guest communication, and even provide on-site support, so the stay runs smoothly even when you're away. You get to share your space with someone traveling to your area while you're off making memories somewhere else. If you've considered hosting but need a little help, find a co-host at airbnb.com slash host. I consider negotiation cardio, but sometimes I need to actually move my body.
What negotiation tactics does Emma suggest for women?
To trick myself into working out, I like to switch it up. I recently went to a new gym to meet with a trainer my friend recommended. I hated it.
How does Emma advise negotiating a prenup?
It was too hard. It was too fast and also somehow boring. The only easy part was paying on my way out. Thankfully, they used Square so I could tap and go and never think about doing pendulum squats again. Support for today's episode comes from Square, the easy way for business owners to take payments, book appointments, manage staff and keep everything running in one place.

Lately, I've been trying to travel more. I work too hard and life is too short not to enjoy myself. That's why I'm so excited about Chime's new perks for cardholders. Chime has added airport lounge access to its travel card.
What are common questions female founders face that men don’t?
But that's not even the best perk. They offer the Chime Travel Concierge to help schedule flights, book hotels, and plan entertainment on your next trip. I can totally see how useful that will be as I explore the world. Chime is changing the way people bank. They offer the most rewarding fee-free banking.
How does Emma suggest raising wealthy kids without spoiling them?

This is a story I actually haven't told, which is really funny. I did whatever I had to do as a kid because in my head, I was literally going to work my way out of where I came from. And by the way, it worked.
