Farnoosh Torabi is one of America’s leading personal finance authorities who’s hooked on helping you live your richest, happiest life. As a multi-bestselling Financial Author, Contributing Editor to Time Magazine’s NextAdvisor, CNBC host and creator of the award-winning So Money, Farnoosh has become our favorite go-to money expert and financial friend. The New York Times calls her advice, “perfectly practical.”
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 fulfilling work, became homeowners and instilled in their children the virtues of patience, generosity and hard work.
Money may have been tight (really tight), but it was never a taboo subject 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.
Today, Farnoosh is a sought-after speaker and bestselling author. Each year she speaks at numerous events, companies, organizations and schools. She’s written multiple books, hosted a CNBC program and worked alongside Oprah’s editorial team to bring her advice and insights to the world.

Fear, often perceived as a crippling emotion, possesses the potential to morph into an extraordinary superpower. It’s our innate survival mechanism, alerting us to potential threats. Yet, when we learn to harness fear’s energy, it can be a formidable driving force. Fear propels us out of our comfort zones, inspiring resilience and determination. It pushes us to confront our limitations and surmount obstacles, enabling us to achieve what was once deemed impossible.
When we acknowledge fear’s presence and use it as a source of motivation, it transforms into courage, propelling us towards success and self-discovery. Fear, when embraced, becomes the catalyst for our growth, empowering us to rise to incredible heights. We hope listening to this episode gives you permission for yourself to follow that fear and do it scared. Be sure to purchase Farnoosh’s new book here!
