She has successfully found a way to get people interested in financial planning by using storytelling and finding creative ways to catch people's attention.
Catie also shares some great tips on managing time and tasks, especially as an entrepreneur. She emphasizes the importance of accepting the fact that the to-do list doesn’t end and how to break up tasks and prioritize what you need to do. Catie talks about her book and how she leverages her humor and writing to gain clients, speaking engagements and consulting gigs.
