When I heard Sharon Epperson, CNBC Senior Personal Finance Correspondent, speak at this year’s FinCon, I knew I needed to have her on the show. Her keynote about surviving a brain aneurysm and the importance of having the right insurance and emergency savings made the entire ballroom at the conference so quiet a pin could drop and you’d hear it. Not only that, my mentee who I was connected with as a speaker at the conference, stood up at her speech to share her own health emergency story that I had no idea about. Sharon’s story of why it’s so crucial we all slow down and take care of ourselves moved me, so I hope you feel the same way after listening to this episode. Below are links to some of the resources we mentioned in this episode, but if there’s one big takeaway I want you to leave with after listening it’s this: nothing is more important in this world than your well-being and health. And personal finance isn’t just about money. It’s about taking care of yourself first. So make sure that you take a look at how you’re covered and start making strides with fully funding your own emergency fund. Moreover, make sure to make a will and assign a Power of Attorney. Because no one can predict when they will experience their own health scare, like Sharon did. The only thing we can do right now is to make a plan for “if” and “when” something happens.

In September 2016, Sharon Epperson was at the gym when she felt a relentless, migraine-like pain shoot through her head and neck. One S.O.S. call to her husband and several hours in the hospital later, she learned she was one of 30,000 people in the U.S. who suffer a brain aneurysm rupture each year. Two in five die instantly and African Americans are twice as likely as whites to suffer from one.Sharon, who is the senior personal finance correspondent at CNBC, was one of the lucky ones. On today's show, she calls the experience one of the great blessings of her life and shares her story with Mandi, including:Her early days in rehabilitation when she had to relearn everyday tasks.“That road had so much pain on it. There were people in those rooms who I know probably wouldn't make it…I remember thinking I just have to look at the door straight ahead. If I look in these rooms I'm going to fall down.”What it was like to return the air at CNBC after 13 months of rehabilitation.“I am recovered in that I can do that job but I'm doing it differently and better than I've ever done it before.”The financial choices she made that protected her family's finances during her recovery and time off from work.“There couldn't have been a rainier day for my rainy day fund. The fact that I had an emergency fund was key. It meant I didn't have to do what many people may have to do which is dip into a 401(k) or their retirement savings to pay for a medical bill.” The key steps Sharon says everyone should take to protect their families if they become disabled—Build an emergency fund—Sign up for disability insurance—Secure a power of attorneyLearn more about brain aneurysm research here: bafound.org(This episode originally aired April 18, 2018) Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s hard to save money these days – and I’m not talking about the new phones and earbuds that come out this time of year and tempt you to spend. Interest rates are really low. Which is great if you’re borrowing to buy a house or a car, but not so awesome if you want to save. The interest rate for the typical U.S. savings account is 9 hundredths of a percent.   But! All is not lost. For a long time there have been higher rates for savers, even from mainstream banks. Now a young and scrappy group of tech startups are pushing the boundaries further with interest rates at about 2% – that’s 20 times higher than average. It’s the difference between earning 16 bucks a month on 10 thousand dollars in savings, or earning just 75 cents.   That’s just the beginning. There are cheaper ways to trade stocks, ways to make money off of credit cards. Today we’re going to help you put a plan together.   With me this week, CNBC’s personal finance expert Sharon Epperson. And Kenneth Lin, CEO of Credit Karma, which has just announced it’s launching one of these high-yield savings accounts. Later, Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman. Learn more about your ad choices.

Our guest today was suddenly stricken with a brain aneurysm in 2016, an occurrence that is typically fatal. But CNBC senior correspondent Sharon Epperson survived and is here on our show to share her journey through that experience and how key financial preparations helped her and her family avert a financial catastrophe. I first interviewed Sharon back in 2015. She is a well-known financial expert who can be seen regularly on CNBC and other media platforms. As the network's senior personal finance correspondent, Sharon was named one of "12 to Watch in TV News" in 2018. When I interviewed her years ago, we talked about her career as a journalist and her upbringing, but today, we’re going to talk about her major health scare. Sharon is now healthy, back at work, and is now an advocate for raising awareness about brain aneurysms and raising money for research.

In the next few decades, America will experience one of the biggest wealth transfers in history: $30 trillion dollars. Women will be the ones receiving most of that money. Are we going to be ready for it? Well, our guest today is dedicating her profession to helping everyone, men and women, become more financially empowered and admits that she, too, didn't always understand some of the basics of personal finance.  Veronica Dagher is the host, co-creator and producer of The Wall Street Journal Podcast called Secrets of Wealthy Women. She interviews successful women who aren't afraid to charge what they're worth, pursue their ideas and build a life of fortune. Notable guests have included Gloria Steinem, Maria Sharapova, Mary Higgins Clark. I actually joined Veronica on her podcast on New Year's Day, along with some incredible women in personal finance; Jean Chatzky, Bobbi Rebell, Sharon Epperson and Deirdre Bolton. Veronica's podcast is more than just a job for her, it's a passion. After losing her father early in life, she watched her mother struggled to learn how to just write a check during the worst moment of her life. That memory has stayed with Veronica, fueled her desire to manage not just her own finances, but to teach others how to also live a full life.   Veronica is on Twitter and Instagram @VeronicaDagher.

I've got something different for you this week: A big conversation about work. As in, where should you work? What kind of company: Big or small? Young or established?  The idea for this episode came from my CNBC colleague Sharon Epperson, who's just great. Sharon covers personal finance, and I'll often stop at her desk and strategize about work and life.    Sharon did a piece on how to land a job at a startup, and I wanted to expand the topic to, should you take a job at a startup, even if you can? So I huddled with CNBC producer Evan Falk, as I do every week to talk about Fortt Knox Live, and we decided to put a show together. Get Sharon, a couple of top-flight venture capital investors, and I wanted to get some students and recent graduates, too. I mean, they're the target audience for this stuff, right?  So that's what we did.   One more thing, and this is important: So we're about two years into Fortt Knox, and it's grown a lot – I want to thank you, the podcast listeners, and also the live show viewers on all our platforms including Facebook, Periscope, YouTube, and the CNBC apps on Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV. For the past two years, I've been basically working on two different shows: The Fortt Knox Podcast, here … and Fortt Knox Live, which streams on Wednesdays. The podcast is mostly one-on-one interviews, and the live show is mostly broader conversations tackling technology, society and culture.   My guests are two venture capitalists: Jeff Richards, managing partner at GGV Capital, and Graham Brown, partner at Lerer Hippeau. Three students: Ahmad Eshghyar, an MBA candidate at Yale; Roni Barak Ventura, a doctoral candidate at NYU; and Raymond Willey, an MBA candidate at Baruch College.

When the worst headache of her life turned into a near-death experience, CNBC’s senior personal finance correspondent Sharon Epperson was forced to stop and reevaluate how she manages her family and career.

Today I have the great pleasure and privilege of speaking with a fantastic award-winning journalist, Sharon Epperson. Sharon is currently a correspondent for CNBC covering the commodity markets and personal finance. She also appears on other NBC news shows like The Today Show and Nightly News, I'm sure you've seen her on television. She reports on a daily basis from the New York Mercantile Exchange where she covers the Energy Markets. She's won numerous awards include a Gracie Award for Outstanding Online Host for her financial advisor playbook video series on CNBC.com and the Trailblazer of the Year Award from the New York Association of Black Journalists. Sharon has a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology and Government from Harvard, and a Master's in International and Public Affairs from Columbia. So interesting that she ended up as a financial journalist and she talks about that journey, how she became the woman that she is today. What was the path that took her to CNBC? The opportunities that led her to financial journalism. You know she admits she was a little unsure of covering business news as a young reporter. We also discuss why Sharon is not worried about the fluctuations in the market place. This interview was recorded in late August when, as we know, the markets went on quite a rollercoaster. We had a tumultuous end to August and so what does Sharon make of all these heavy moves in the market, and what are her predictions as we go into the fall? The financial lessons she learned from launching her parents - that's another topic that we talk about with Sharon because she says, interestingly enough her parents did not really talk about money, but she still learned quite a bit from mom and dad and she shares that with us.
