We have a former Victoria Secret Model. Anyone here remember getting the catalogue growing up in the 90’s? We used to get the catalogue and it wasn’t very risqué back then. The woman who was in that catalogue more than any other woman that I remember growing up was Frederique. She was a famous super model back then. Little did I know, this woman was quite the entrepreneur as well. Back then, models were starting to become more household names. They were more than just a face and a body, they were individuals that had personalities and you knew where they were from and maybe they had some side businesses. Now, 30 years later (probably) here I am interviewing the one and only Frederique. She’s doing some press right now because she’s promoting a new E-commerce site that she created called Frederique’s Choice. It’s the ultimate location for beautiful curated flowers, directly from the growers and where every bouquet tells a story. So, I’m curious to find out why Frederique wanted to start this particular kind of business? Also, since she began her journey as a model, how she parleyed that into entrepreneurship and what kind of business she likes to go in to. Also how did modeling create a platform for her to be able to be a business woman. Frederique is from Holland and she really believes growing up in that country gave her this down to earthiness that she was able to use as an asset, as a model and then later as an entrepreneur.

Today's guest is a career expert. Caroline Ceniza-Levine is the co-founder of SixFigureStart, a coaching business for professional and personal success. Caroline has worked with executives from major companies like American Express, Amazon, Conde Nast, Gilt, Goldman Sachs, Google and many others. Her latest book is out entitled, "Jump Ship: 10 Steps to Starting a New Career." A fun fact about Caroline, she's also a stand-up comic, so you could say she's not your typical coach. I love Caroline because her advice is really fresh and while she's a career expert, she's not going to give you some BS and tell you that your career is the most important thing in your life. She'll be the first to tell you that it isn't. This wouldn't be an episode about careers if you didn't dive into negotiation. We talk all about how to do it and how to deal with a crazy boss. Do you have one? You might have one in the future. What to do with a difficult boss who's making your job miserable. Personally, I have some experience with this, and I give some of my advice, too.

s anyone listening in today a fan of Uber or Lyft? I rely on Uber a lot. It might be one of those things that I "splurge" on to make my life easier or better at times, like I ask of my guests at the end of the show. There's a point to all of this I promise. Today's guest was once a full-time aerospace engineer and a part-time Uber, Lyft and Sidecar driver. Harry Campbell discovered Rideshare as a passenger several years ago and when he moved from San Diego to Orange County and decided to give it a try as a driver. We get into why in our interview today. Harry thought driving was a fun, flexible way to earn extra income. He found himself liking the flexibility in hours and enjoyed how it felt like running his own mini-business. Harry was interested in finding resources for drivers who were just starting out but realized there were little out there. That's when his blog The RideShare Guy was born. In early 2015, Harry actually left his job as an engineer to pursue blogging full-time. He also is a tech contributor to Forbes and hosts his own podcast The RideShare Guy. In the interview I want to know first and foremost why he made the transition to The Rideshare Guy Blog and why he wanted to quit aerospace engineering. What kind of fulfillment he finds in this new job that he wasn’t finding in his previous job? Is it really a practical way to make extra money? I know that some of you have even written in, wondering if, “Hey, I’m thinking of taking on Uber or Lyft as a part time side gig. Should I do this? Is it worth my money and time? Because obviously, you have to invest in a car and gas and maintenance and all of that." He talks about whether it’s worth it, who should be doing this and who shouldn’t. He also has really established a cool brand for himself. He’s out there speaking, he’s partnering with brands, he’s got sponsorships on the website and now he's got the podcast. He’s really growing a little bit of an empire here. So, I want to ask him about that and how he learned how to do this. I don’t think they teach you this in aerospace engineering school, right? He breaks it down for us. For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com. Learn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop Book to Brand. Early bird registration is now open!

I’m reconnecting with today's guest, Aaron LaPedis. He’s someone I interviewed years ago, back when I was working on a show called Financially Fit with Yahoo! It was a fun time and I got to travel around the country interviewing people who had some really cool financial lifestyles - like, people who lived in tiny homes, people who have retired by 40 and then Aaron was somebody that was the “Garage Sale Millionaire." Aaron is a millionaire next door who created wealth for himself through finding really interesting stuff and then reselling it. Whether it’s on eBay or to individuals on Craigslist. He’s from Denver and he’s the author of "The Garage Sale Millionaire: Make Money with Hidden Finds from Garage Sales to Storage Unit Auctions and Everything in Between," a bestselling book. Now he’s working on a second book, a children’s book dedicated to his son and all kids out there who have autism. It’s called, "A Boy Named Penguin." That comes out very soon so stay tuned for more information on that. Aaron is really taking advantage of his millionaire status by doing what he loves. Right now, he’s running an art gallery in Denver and writing the children’s book that he is very passionate about. He’s also out there giving speeches. He is living the life he deserves because he has actually put in the hard work. So we’re going to talk about how he became a garage sale expert. How maybe we could learn a thing or two about what to pick up at the next yard sale so we can cash in. We also talk about how he attributes a lot of his financial success to making the right calls, being diligent and having this "garage sale savvy." But he also encountered a very life-threatening moment in his life and that was a catalyst for him to really make the most of, not just his finances, but of his overall life and happiness.
