Money Tips Every Entrepreneur Needs
Shopify Masters episode - Shopify's own show - in which host Shuang Esther Shan talks with Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First 100K and author of Financial Feminist, about money skills for entrepreneurs. Dunlap tells her origin story of saving 100,000 dollars by 25 - acknowledging privilege, a 27 percent savings rate, early Roth IRA contributions and side income - and calls it the permission slip to quit her job. She argues money is a learned skill, that diets fail for finances the way they fail for food, and lays out her three value categories exercise: spend unabashedly on what you love, cut the rest. She also corrects the most common investing mistake she sees - money parked in an IRA that is never actually invested - and pushes back on the idea that investing is only for experts. PARTIAL COVERAGE: this summary highlights her core frameworks; later business and audience topics are not covered. Everything here is Dunlap's own perspective, not financial advice - consult a qualified professional for your situation.
