Description

Georgiana Spencer was one of the first influencers in the late 1700s, setting social fashions, hosting amazing parties, creating political spectacles, and, at one point, had more influence over the British Parliament than the prime minister or the prince of Wales.


She was also, at one point, $36,000,000 dollars in debt. So... let's talk about how to avoid that.
