Denise Coursey didn’t grow up talking about investing—but she did grow up learning respect for money.
Raised in a blue-collar, union household, Denise became a first-generation college student, took early career risks as a writer and editor, and eventually became a small business owner. Along the way, she developed strong views on scarcity, financial independence, and why “having enough” doesn’t always quiet the money noise in your head.
Chris Hill talks with Denise about:
•Why karate became a lifelong practice—and eventually a business
•Taking creative and career risks without a financial safety net
•How separate bank accounts reduced money stress in her marriage
•Redefining “splurging” as time, not dollars
Opening clip – “Tom Papa: What A Day!”
