You’re Invited · A Live Book Club Night
Work, ambition, and money: the conversation we were taught not to have.
Emma Grede makes the case that the beliefs we carry, especially about money, quietly shape the life we end up with.
“When we feel like it’s inelegant to talk about money, money has a way of elegantly passing us by.”
● Wednesday, September 30 ● 6:00 to 7:00pm PT ● Live on Zoom

About the Book
From East London to SKIMS and Good American, Emma Grede started with herself.
Emma is the co-founder of Good American, a founding partner of SKIMS, and one of the most talked-about entrepreneurial voices of the year. Start With Yourself is her first book, and it became an instant bestseller this spring.
It is not really a business book. It is about the inner work behind the outer success: the beliefs and emotions that shape how we show up at work, at home, and with money. She is especially candid about why women stay quiet about money while the men around them talk about it freely, and what that silence quietly costs us.
It reads fast, it hits close to home, and it is full of the kind of takeaways you will want to talk about. Which is exactly what we plan to do.
