Growing Interest with Mary Holland Nader

We spend a lot of time talking about how to build wealth. But how do you protect it? This week, Mary sits down with Caitlin Sarian, better known as Cybersecurity Girl, to find out what hackers and scammers know about us that we don’t, and the everyday habits that could be making our money easier to steal. After nearly a decade working behind the scenes in cybersecurity, including leading Global Cybersecurity Advocacy and Culture at TikTok, Caitlin has seen how people actually get hacked, what makes someone an easy target, and why the stereotype that scams only happen to older people could be making the rest of us more vulnerable. Caitlin breaks down: - the money scams she’s seeing right now - the “harmless” online behaviors hackers love - whether it’s safe to give AI your financial information Plus, she gives Mary Holland her 60-second cybersecurity checklist and reveals the changes she’s made in her own life after spending years around some of the smartest hackers in the world.

What happens when your sister is also your roommate, business partner—and the person you split the money with? Jean and Cherie Luo, better known as the Tiger Sisters, walked away from careers at Goldman Sachs, Snap, and LinkedIn to bet on themselves. Since then, they’ve built one of the biggest business podcasts on Spotify, launched Sisters Matcha, and say they became self-made millionaires before turning 26. But Mary Holland wants to know what happens behind the numbers. Jean and Cherie get candid about:  - how they actually split money and equity as sisters - whether everything is really 50/50 - putting their own money into their businesses - what happens when one sister brings in a deal.  They also break down the very different goals of starting their media company versus matcha business,  whether four Ivy League degrees were worth the price tag, and the moment they actually started to feel rich.

Private investing is having a moment - but should you actually be investing in startups? Serial entrepreneur and investor Jaclyn Johnson joins Mary Holland to breakdown what you need to know before putting your money into a private company: who can invest, how much risk you should actually take, why your money could be tied up for years, and what really has to happen before an investment pays off. And Jaclyn knows risk from both sides of the table. She built Create & Cultivate from scratch, sold the company for $22 million, and later made the unexpected decision to buy it back. She gets candid about: - what a $22 million exit actually means for a founder - what she did when the money hit her account - how she thinks about knowing when “enough” is enough -  why emotion isn't always the enemy when making big business decisions. Plus, Jaclyn shares what she’s learned investing in companies like Away, Chillhouse, and Crown Affair—and what she looks for before writing a check today. Whether you're curious about angel investing, building a company of your own, or just trying to understand how wealthy people think about risk, this episode will help you ask a better question: What kind of risk actually makes sense for me?
