Plenty with Kate Northrup

The first quarter of 2017 was a big one for us, both for our business and our personal lives. On today’s show, we share a recap with you about the projects we created, what’s been completed so far and what you can expect from us going forward, as well as our biggest takeaways.

Today’s episode is extra special as we welcome Mike’s parents, Bill and Michele Watts, to the podcast. Having this discussion is something Mike has always wanted to do, and in it we discuss how his parents themselves were raised, the approach they took to parenting Mike and his siblings (the good and the bad times), and what it’s like for them to be grandparents now. They share their thoughts on their own careers, retirement, death and a whole lot more in this one. The main reason we wanted to do this podcast with the Watts is to gain perspective now, because you never know what the future will hold. We also hope it encourages you to have similar discussions with your own loved ones before it’s too late. Show notes and links for this episode can be found at www.katenorthrup.com/podcast.

Her digital investing service, WorthFM, received front-page coverage in The New York Times Business section and she's the author of the new book, Worth It: Your Life, Your Money, Your Terms.
