Starting Businesses Young and the Money Lessons Learned Along the Way

with Nancy Tsuei

Welcome!

This week on Getting Rich Together, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Nancy Tsuei. Nancy is a force in the retail world, having built businesses and been at the forefront of brands like Bed Bath & Beyond, Millerknoll, Gap, and West Elm. But what many people don’t know is her financial prowess and the inspiring ways she’s evolved throughout her lifetime to create change, especially in the space of women and wealth.

In this episode, we dive into how Nancy’s parents shaped her relationship with money, the missteps and lessons she learned early in her career, and how she built multiple streams of income that work together to build on each other.

As she enters her “third phase” of life, Nancy is focused on exiting the corporate world to be of service to others and is working on developing frameworks for deeper human connection.

I hope you find Nancy’s story as moving and motivational as I did. Her wealth of experience and wisdom is something we can all learn from, no matter what stage of our financial journey we’re in.
