AALP 191 – The Joy of Service with Farnoosh Torabi

I am pleased to introduce you to today’s guest Farnoosh Torabi.  From her early days reporting for Money Magazine to hosting a primetime series on CNBC and writing monthly for O, The Oprah Magazine and Mint.com, she’s become a favorite go-to money expert and friend. During our conversation today, Farnoosh shares: * How she overcame challenges she faced when she first started her career in journalism over 15 years ago. * Why she’s so passionate about being of service and why it’s had such a big impact in her career. * What she’s learned from interviewing some of the most powerful people on the planet. * Why book writing is a powerful cornerstone for those who wish to influence others. Speaking with Farnoosh was a treat, especially after appearing on her show recently (Leisa’s Interview with Farnoosh can be found here!)  We have a lot in common and I am so happy she could join me to share her story with you here! More on Farnoosh: Millions of Americans tune into Farnoosh’s award winning podcast, So Money, which made its debut in January 2015. On the show she interviews leading experts, authors and influencers – from Tony Robbins to Robert Kiyosaki, Margaret Cho and Tim Gunn – about their financial perspectives, money failures and habits. She also answers listeners’ personal financial questions each week. Farnoosh was born in Worcester, Massachusetts to immigrant parents who left Iran in the late 1970s in search of a more fulfilling life. Arriving with two suitcases and the promise of a small stipend from her dad’s university, the Torabi’s took a leap of faith and settled in the United States hoping to build their version of the American Dream. It was here that her parents furthered their education, found great jobs, became homeowners and instilled in their children the virtues of patience, generosity, hard work and faith. Money may have been tight (really tight), but it was never a taboo in the household and for that, Farnoosh is eternally grateful. It’s what ultimately inspired her to lead a mission to help others achieve financial greatness.   To learn more about Farnoosh’s upcoming Book to Brand Workshop in NYC, CLICK HERE To check out Farnoosh’s website, click here:  www.farnoosh.tv
