About this listen
Read by the author.
“This is the perfect guide for readers ready to move from balancing their checkbook to investing in the stock market and themselves… Highly recommended.” – Library Journal
Realize financial stability and investing confidence with this one-of-a-kind resource by renowned money expert Nicole Lapin.
New York Times bestselling author of Rich Bitch Nicole Lapin gives you the skinny on how financial markets and common investing strategies work to build your understanding and gain confidence. The Money School is divided into courses (of course), four of them, with three levels each, totaling 12 lessons all together. The first course focuses on the stock market, where you’ll learn all about one of the most potent and accessible forces in our financial system. The second zooms into debt (the good kind!), where you own debt, not owe it via CDs and treasury bonds. The third course steps it up with more exotic or advanced securities like commodities, currencies, and derivatives. The final part wraps it all up with how you can make a portfolio to help you reach your own financial success as you define it.
Once you have completed the courses, turn to the end of the book for self-assessment quizzes and a full dictionary of key financial terms to keep on hand as a resource. Class is in session!
Charts, graphs, and a study guide can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Every city in America wants to become a tech hub, yet so few succeed—and that’s the problem. Tech jobs, venture capital, and R&D are concentrated in a handful of big coastal cities, while the broad middle of the country is left out. But to thrive in the twenty-first century, cities must create innovation economies of their own and grow in more inclusive ways. In January 2020, Nicholas Lalla founded Tulsa Innovation Labs to help Tulsa, Oklahoma transition from its oil and gas legacy to tech. Lalla’s organization would go on to build the first tech-led economic development strategy.

The Short List delivers a clear, actionable guide to identifying the people you need to prioritize and the techniques you can use to nurture those relationships into career catalysts.

My character has been shaped by two opposing forces; the pressure to conform to social norms, and the pressure to be true to myself. To be honest with you, these forces have really torn me apart. They've pulled me one way and then the other. At times, they've left me questioning my entire existence. But please don't think that I'm angry or morose. I'm not. Because through adversity comes knowledge. I've suffered, it's true. But I've learned from my pain. I've become a better person.
