How do you go from a broke 22-year-old Wall Street trader whom no financial advisor would touch to building a multi-million dollar media empire, selling a scripted television show to Amazon MGM Studios, and bootstrapping a seven-figure financial technology startup?
In this episode of The Forbes Top Creator Show, host Steven Bertoni sits down with financial educator, 2x New York Times best-selling author (Rich AF, Well Endowed), and entrepreneur Vivian Tu (Your Rich BFF).
Vivian breaks down her evolution from a one-woman financial content engine into a FinTech founder with the launch of her app, Ask Dolly. She shares why she turned down venture capital to self-fund over $1,000,000 of her own capital, how she’s turning her book Rich AF into a scripted television show currently in development with MGM Studios and Amazon, and her prescription for Gen Z’s growing “financial nihilism.”
