*Shelly interviews Sahil Bloom during the launch episode of her video podcast series*

I’m so excited to share that the first episode of my new video podcast series is live, in partnership with the Milken Young Leaders Circle.

Our very first guest is Sahil Bloom — investor, entrepreneur, and writer of The Curiosity Chronicle, which reaches over 800,000 subscribers. Sahil has built a global audience by breaking down big ideas around money, growth, and life into simple, powerful lessons.

He’s someone I’ve followed for a while and not just because of what he’s built, but because of the person he’s become. His 5 Types of Wealth framework helped me during a really tough time in my life. It reminded me that success isn’t just about work or numbers…it’s about living with purpose, balance, and heart.

We recorded the episode in front of a small group of thoughtful founders, investors and entrepreneurs. The conversation was honest, emotional, and left everyone feeling inspired.

What makes this podcast different is that I didn’t come from a traditional path. I didn’t grow up learning about financial literacy or thought leadership. I learned by doing. And now, I want to help others do the same.

This series is about breaking complex ideas down into something real. It’s about asking better questions and hearing from people who have not only made it to the top of their fields but have done so with clarity, purpose, and authenticity.

Like Sahil says — the difference between those who make it and those who don’t often comes down to courage. Closed mouths don’t get fed. That line stuck with me. It gave me the push to share something of my own.

I know this is just the beginning, but I’m proud of how it started.

So excited for you to watch the full episode below. I hope it leaves you feeling as inspired as we did in the room.

Huge thank you to Emerging VC and Mela Collective for helping bring that group together.

With gratitude,
Shelly
