Darrah Brustein | Kindred Spirits: Saving Hard and Playing Hard Fri-Date
-
- Business
Today, my guest is fellow entrepreneur, lifestyle designer, and avid traveler Darrah Brustein. She shares the financial lessons she learned early in life, the impact they made, and how they helped her get to where she is today.
Darrah has such an incredible point of view, born from experiences like working for a company that went under right after purchasing her first home and starting a business with her twin brother. I personally loved the monthly check-in that Darrah and her partner use to tune in and get intentional in their relationship, and plan to incorporate that for Kim and I.
