Mahima sits down with Ruhi, a young dentist who just bought her own practice. They dive into things we all need to deal with - credit scores, saving vs. spending, and how to start investing. Ruhi keeps it real about the trade-offs, the wins, and the lessons she wishes she learned earlier.

In this episode, Mahima sits down with Sri (pronounced “Shree”) Rejeti — the co-owner of and a powerhouse behind Beaulogy, a buzzing salon in Fremont, California. Sri spills the tea on what it’s actually like to chase your passion, from stressing over money and pricing to keeping a solid team that doesn’t dip.

It’s not just glossy beauty talk — it’s the behind-the-scenes grind, the lessons you don’t hear on Instagram, and the kind of inspo you need if you’ve ever thought about turning your side hustle into something real. No gatekeeping, just real talk.

In this episode, Mahima breaks down compound interest, the time value of money, and why starting early, even with just a little, can lead to big growth. Only 17% of young adults can explain compound interest. That means 83% of our peers are missing out on what could be free money. You're ahead by just listening to this episode.
