Growing Interest with Mary Holland Nader

You probably know Chantel Jeffries as a DJ, creator, and fixture in pop culture. What you may not know is that she's also been quietly building a track record as an investor. Chantel wrote an early check into Poppi before its roughly $2 billion acquisition by PepsiCo. She's an early investor in Oura, backed Lolli, launched her own fund, Vizn Ventures, and was talking about Bitcoin back in 2017. So how did she learn to spot opportunities early—and trust herself enough to put real money behind them? Chantel joins Mary Holland to talk about what she looks for before backing a company, the difference between following a trend and recognizing a real opportunity, and how she learned to trust her own judgment even when other people underestimated her. They also get into managing money with an unpredictable income, the lessons Chantel has learned from investing, and how to start thinking differently about the brands you already know and love.

As the co-founder and CEO of Good American, founding partner of SKIMS, and one of the most successful self-made women in business, Emma Grede has built an empire. But she didn't come from money, didn't finish college, and wasn't always comfortable with numbers. In this episode of Growing Interest, Mary Holland Nader sits down with Emma to explore the money mindset shifts behind her success—and what the rest of us can learn from them. They get into the psychology of money, from emotional spending and overcoming a fear of numbers to negotiating for more, knowing your worth, and understanding when to prioritize ownership over a paycheck. Emma also opens up about navigating money in friendships, relationships, and business, and why women need to stop apologizing for wanting more.

We spend a lot of time talking about how to build wealth. But how do you protect it? This week, Mary sits down with Caitlin Sarian, better known as Cybersecurity Girl, to find out what hackers and scammers know about us that we don’t, and the everyday habits that could be making our money easier to steal. After nearly a decade working behind the scenes in cybersecurity, including leading Global Cybersecurity Advocacy and Culture at TikTok, Caitlin has seen how people actually get hacked, what makes someone an easy target, and why the stereotype that scams only happen to older people could be making the rest of us more vulnerable. Caitlin breaks down: - the money scams she’s seeing right now - the “harmless” online behaviors hackers love - whether it’s safe to give AI your financial information Plus, she gives Mary Holland her 60-second cybersecurity checklist and reveals the changes she’s made in her own life after spending years around some of the smartest hackers in the world.

What happens when your sister is also your roommate, business partner—and the person you split the money with? Jean and Cherie Luo, better known as the Tiger Sisters, walked away from careers at Goldman Sachs, Snap, and LinkedIn to bet on themselves. Since then, they’ve built one of the biggest business podcasts on Spotify, launched Sisters Matcha, and say they became self-made millionaires before turning 26. But Mary Holland wants to know what happens behind the numbers. Jean and Cherie get candid about:  - how they actually split money and equity as sisters - whether everything is really 50/50 - putting their own money into their businesses - what happens when one sister brings in a deal.  They also break down the very different goals of starting their media company versus matcha business,  whether four Ivy League degrees were worth the price tag, and the moment they actually started to feel rich.

Private investing is having a moment - but should you actually be investing in startups? Serial entrepreneur and investor Jaclyn Johnson joins Mary Holland to breakdown what you need to know before putting your money into a private company: who can invest, how much risk you should actually take, why your money could be tied up for years, and what really has to happen before an investment pays off.

Plus, Jaclyn shares what she’s learned investing in companies like Away, Chillhouse, and Crown Affair—and what she looks for before writing a check today.
