Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
Tracy DiNunzio on Resilience, Raising Money, and Guest Hosting the Pod
02 Dec 2024
Tracy DiNunzio is an entrepreneur and investor, and founder of luxury resale marketplace Tradesy. She’s sold billions of dollars of pre-owned fashion, raised $150M in venture capital, and taught herself everything from marketing to coding to get there. But according to Tracy, being an entrepreneur has always been her second job; her first is managing a lifelong health condition. Living with Spina Bifida while building her career, Tracy felt like she couldn’t tell the world about her disability. But when she finally opened up about it, the reaction wasn’t at all what she expected. Today, Tracy shares with Nicole the surprising way that she found strength in vulnerability and learned to be a better leader. She also shares fundraising tips and tricks for anyone trying to raise money for their company, and previews the week ahead as she takes Nicole’s seat to guest host an exciting week of Money Rehab.
Full Episode
I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some money rehab. Ah, Tracy DiNunzio. Nicole Lappin. Welcome back to Money Rehab. This makes my heart so happy because you and I talk for... Hours a day. I don't even know how we find that time because I usually have no time, but we're on the phone and I see it like two hours or.
We're at each other's houses and we talk for so many hours about things.
Sometimes when I put you on hold, I'm taking a quick shower. I just thought you should know. Headphones and all.
I didn't know that. I didn't know. I definitely have gone to the bathroom when we've been on the phone.
That's how you know you're really good friends.
We are really good friends. Yeah. It's true. People do say this. Oh, they're my sister or they're like my bestie. And it's kind of hyperbole, but this is not hyperbole. You're my person. I married you. You officiated my wedding. Yes. And you encouraged this large lunch that I'm holding.
Yes. Currently in my belly. Yes, I did encourage it by getting a little too drunk at your birthday dinner and telling you and the mister to get to it. And I didn't think you would listen to me. And here we are.
And here we are. And we have an announcement. But we have several announcements. But first, I want our listeners to get to know you in a way that I know you. And during our many hours of discussions, we talk about everything. Boys, bowel movements...
Oh, OK.
