I've got a fantastic female entrepreneur on the show today, Holly Johnson. She's a blogger extraordinaire, co-founder of 2 websites: a personal finance blog, Club Thrifty, and a frugal travel blog, Travel Blue book. Which, both have become so successful, guess what? Her husband just joined her and quit his 9 to 5 to join her and build this online empire - Gregg is her husband - and build her online empire. Holly is also a staff writer at Get Rich Slowly, The Frugal Dollar, The Frugal Travel Guy, and U.S News and World Report. Her work has been featured everywhere: the Wall Street Journal, Fox, Forbes, Lifehacker, Yahoo, on, and on, and on.Now Holly's journey started after realizing that even though together as couple, Holly and Greg her husband, even though that together they were making good money, they weren't really saving enough to have the lifestyle they really, really wanted.

Today's guest is a futurist. Did you even know that was a profession? He's not a fortune teller, he's actually a professional futurist and is very much on the cutting edge of thought leadership surrounding sustainability, and his name is Eric Lowitt. He's doing incredible work as a self-described volatility advocate and expert. He, like I said, he's a futurist, he's a thought leader and the CEO of Nexus Global Advisors. It's an advisory firm that works with CEO's, senior public officials, and leading executives on strategy, collaboration, sustainability, volatility, and business models of tomorrow. And if you're running a business today, what are the forces at play that you may not even see that would likely impact your work and your goals. 

Today I'm really excited to welcome a guest who is dedicating his financial advice and his financial mission to help, particularly, families that are in the military and especially those that are approaching retirement. Because as he has found, and as a member of the military, Doug Nordman, my guest, he has found that many military families and individuals are unprepared when it comes to retirement. So he is dedicating his work to teaching them how to do it. And he is someone who actually managed to retire at 41, which I don't care whether you're in the military, or you have a business, or you're a teacher, that in and of itself is exceptional.  

Today’s guest is just 26 years old. She graduated from college in 2011 with a degree in journalism and a burning desire to become debt free as soon as possible. And even though her $28,000 loan was not particularly high by today’s standards (some students graduate with hundreds of thousands of debt), to pay it off on the starting salary of a journalist of only $28,000 a year (about half an average starting salary) would challenge anyone. But she was determined… and as a result, managed to do erase her debt in 3 years! Her story went viral… and she was featured in Time Magazine and other major news outlets, which inspired her to dedicate her spare time – when she’s not busy with her “day job” doing PR and marketing for a non-profit – to speak and write about her experience so other young adults can do the same. Her name is Zina Kumok.

Today’s guest is going to help with some time tackling solutions. Her name is Laura Vanderkam. She is the author of the brand new book I Know How She Does It: How Successful Women Build Lives That Work. It comes out TODAY. The book is based on a time diary study of 10001 days in the lives of professional women and their families. It takes a practical approach to the question of how people combine work and family while enjoying their own sweet time, too.

I'm tremendously excited about today's guest. He is hands down one of my favourite TV personalities. His name is Ross Mathews. You've probably heard of him if you watch any television or you listen to podcasts because he also has a podcast. Ross first got his TV debut as a correspondent for the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. And from there he navigated the world of entertainment. And what's interesting is that how he got his start on the Tonight Show. He was just an intern, okay? Yeah things can happen when you're just an intern. It's not just about getting coffee and making photocopies. Big things can happen to your life and today Ross can be found as a top contributor on E! News and E! Network's live red carpet awards show all year round. Now, in addition to also serving as a judge on the hit logo series Rupaul's Drag Race, Ross keeps himself very busy with a weekly top-rated podcast one show called "Straight Talk with Ross Mathews". He's also the author of the great book, "Man Up: Tales of My Delusional Self-
