SecureSave’s secret weapon: Suze Orman

Hello and welcome to Equity, a startup business podcast, where we unpack the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.

It’s our Wednesday show, where we focus on one person, reflect on their work, and unpack the rest. This week, Mary Ann jumped on the mic with Suze Orman, New York Times number one bestselling author, producer, personal finance thought leader and host of the Women & Money podcast. We follow Suze’s not-so-surprising debut with SecureSave, what the company did, and how Suze plans to protect employees in today’s economy.

Here’s what we got ourselves into:

• How little money many Americans have saved for emergencies and how SecureSave wants to change that
• How inflation can make it harder for people to save when they have less money to do so
• We ended, as always, with a series of “lightning” Q&As in which Suze revealed her secret weapon for success.

For startup founders in tune, today is your last chance to apply for the Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023! Complete these requests while you still can, and Mary Ann and Alex will be back on Friday to round off your week with a special guest.
