The C&C 100 Money Honorees on FOMO Investing, Toxic Money Habits & Why You're Probably Underselling Yourself

We sat down with our C&C 100 Money Honorees — Kate McAndrew, Ruffin Mitchener, Mary Holland Nader, Maggie Sellers Reum, and Elaine Welteroth — to talk about what it really takes to build, invest, and grow wealth on your own terms. From self-funding empires to talking about money like a man, these women are proving that abundance starts with a mindset shift.
In this episode, we cover:

Why the best financial advice is to stop playing it safe
• How to start investing even if you're starting from zero
• Why your personal brand might be worth more than your MBA
• The case for self-funding your business instead of chasing investors
• How to build a healthier relationship with money without it taking over your life
• Why investing in your community might be the smartest financial move you make

Tune in to hear from some of the most exciting voices in money and investing right now — on their terms, on their timeline, and without ever compromising on what they believe in.
