I received 89 responses

These 10 online courses are worth the price of admission (and 4 of them are FREE!):
1/ @udemy

This was the most popular response by far

There are TONS of low-cost courses on this platform

(The YouTube course by Sacha Steveson is on deck for me)

2/ @coursera

The “Learning how to learn” course by Barbara Oakley is free and, apparently, transformative.

Money impacts every aspect of our lives, yet we're taught nothing about personal finance in school

THREAD: The 10 people that influenced my personal finance philosophy the most (and the key lesson that I learned from each):
1: Dave Ramsey - @DaveRamsey

Key Lesson:

Debt is dumb. Treat it as an emergency, get intense, and pay it all off (he likes the snowball method)
2: David Chilton - @wealthy_barber

Key Lesson:

One dollar saved is TWO dollars earned

Today is @WarrenBuffett's 91st birthday

To celebrate, here are 20 of my favorite quotes from the Oracle of Omaha:
1/ "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.

When you think about that, you'll do things differently."
2/ "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep you will work until you die."

Worried about the growth stock sell-off?

I’m not

I’ve invested & lived through MUCH WORSE volatility

Want to know how I learned to become comfortable with huge price swings?

Here’s my untold story of working at $PODD for 10 years:
I was hired by Insulet ($PODD) in 2004

The company was 4 years old and funded entirely by venture capital

I was fresh out of college and started in marketing

(Fun fact: I helped name the company’s product OmniPod)
In 2004, we were still in the R&D phase

We were developing an innovative insulin pump for people with diabetes

We had:

❌No FDA approval
❌No revenue
❌No chance of reaching profitability for YEARS

But, our technology had A LOT of potential
