Q We got, we got to get a sign on your wall. Um, so let's, uh, let's get into your story. I want to hear the rundown on money with Katie. Where did your passion for personal finance come from?
A Well, I always joke that it came from a mix of just general confusion and greed in the sense that when I got my first full-time job in marketing, I obviously started receiving full-time paychecks, and after about six months, I kind of sat back and I was like, I don't really know what to do with any of this money, like, aside from paying my rent and paying for my car and my food and, like, The things that normal twenty-three-year-olds are paying for, I didn't really feel like I was actually getting ahead with that money. It just kind of felt like I was on a bit of a hamster wheel, and it wasn't like I wasn't saving. I knew I was saving because there was always money left over at the end of the month, but that money wasn't actually working for me or doing much for me, and so I would talk to typically my male friends about finances from time to time, and They all seemed to know how to invest. They were investing. They were talking about making money in the stock market, and I was like, wait, like, who taught you how to do this? Where did you learn how to do this? And a couple of them sent me some very preliminary resources, and it really just sent me down the rabbit hole of all rabbit holes. Um, I became kind of obsessed. I would listen to personal finance podcasts, read the books, Stock the bloggers. I mean, and at this time, this was 2017, 20 18. It was not as popular as it is n…

Q to do that. But you know, what you've talked about is consumption, right? You got obsessed with consuming personal finance content because you had no idea what the fuck to do when you started getting paychecks. What shifted for you to end up thinking about creation, right? You mentioned helping your friends, but did you have a passion for creation as well? Was that something that came naturally to you?
A Yeah, absolutely. I do think that that was kind of the flip side of the coin to where this became kind of a perfect storm. I have a very obsessive personality. I've always been that way. I get into something and then I, I cannot stop. I get very singularly focused on it and want to know as much as I possibly can. And I think that's why personal finance and some of the topics that are associated like healthcare are so intriguing to me because I almost get anxious when I feel like there's something important to know that I don't get. I'm like, no, I need to get this. I need to understand that. I need to know everything about it. And so I've always considered myself a pretty good writer too. That was like the one skill in school that English class was always very easy for me. I didn't really love math and science, but English lit. Like, I loved reading and writing, and so the transition to creating that type of content was pretty natural for me, fortunately, but it was more so focused on the blogging side of things and writing longer form content, and especially with personal finance, these are topics that I give creators that only do short form video a lot of credit because it's really difficult to convey a lot of these topics in Diving into the topic and getting into the nuances and the loopholes and, and things that I feel like are easier to do and kind of more fun to do in tho…
