Episode notes

In this episode I chat with Pascale Helyar-Moray OAM, Director, Founder and Advisor about a topic that she and I are both incredibly passionate about… money.

This can be a sensitive subject for some creatives, however my goal with this podcast and The Savvy Creative in general is to demystify and make personal finance relatable and dare I say - fun or at the very least, interesting.

We discuss what led her to create start up Grow My Money (now Finder Shopping), her exit from the business and her top tips on how anyone can approach personal finance.

*Pascale contacted me after the record to let me know she confused her quotes! The quote was “a life lived in fear is a life half lived” and it was from the film Strictly Ballroom.

Dead Poets Society “Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary”.
