Jennifer Barrett is author of the recently released groundbreaking work Think Like A Breadwinner, A Wealth Building Manifesto for Women, who want to Earn More and Worry Less. She takes us to the beginning of her career in financial journalism - from covering foreign exchange forThe Wall Street Journal, to The Street.com and The New York Times, before landing her dream job at Newsweek, where she worked as a staff writer and editor for seven years--focusing on health and personal finance. It was during this time that she had her first formative financial "reckoning"/realization. She then moved into management, becoming digital director at NBC Universal and Hearst. Jennifer was general manager of four women's magazine sites--Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, Redbook, and Good Housekeeping. Jennifer is now the chief education officer at Acorns, a financial wellness app she helped build and scale with over 8.5 million users. Jennifer takes us from her genesis as a young girl wishing to be a reporter, to interviewing over one hundred women for her new book, Think Like A Breadwinner, A Wealth Building Manifesto for Women, who want to Earn More and Worry Less.
