Enjoy this interview Chelsea recently did with Maya Lau of Other People's Pockets!
Once upon a time, Chelsea Fagan was a financial mess. She had a credit score of around 450, debt that went to collections, and so many unpaid traffic tickets that she got arrested. She whipped herself into financial shape by writing about her journey at The Financial Diet, where she’s co-founder and CEO. She explains why some of her employees earn more than she does and why you don’t have to grind to succeed.
