Featured on Personal Finance for PhDs podcast

I was pleased to join my colleague Dr. Emily Roberts, PhD, to record this interview! As she notes, we’ve known each other for a while. I’ve truly LOVED working with fellow PhD business owners over the years.

In this episode, Emily interviews Dr. Jennifer Polk, a career coach specializing in PhDs whose brand is From PhD to Life. Emily and Jen explore the damage that graduate school and academia often does to PhDs’ financial lives, in terms of both dollars and money mindset. They answer the question, “What can a graduate student or PhD do to mitigate academia’s financial damage?” from both a financial and career perspective, starting in grad school and extending several years post-PhD. Jen concludes the interview with an incredible insight that can only be gained with years of distance from the PhD.
