As a guest on Lo Bosworth’s podcast Lady Lovin (episode 42), she’s half everygirl half guru and entirely someone you don’t mind telling you to cut the shit and start saving.

“How is it possible that this topic [of money] is so vital to my life, but I truly didn’t know where to go or where to get unbiased advice?” That question led Alexa von Tobel to launch a company aimed at making personal financial advice as readily available as a SoulCycle class.

Ramit Sethi is mean, mocking and very good at direct financial rules and tweaks. He’s been called aggressive, more of a branding mastermind than a financial whiz—his URL and book share the title, I Will Teach You How To Be Rich —but he continues to help people change their lives.
