In this episode of Your Life and Money, Tim Borody talks with his sister, Beth Borody, about her career journey from the mining industry to running her own business. Beth shares the lessons she learned as her career and income grew quickly, from navigating compensation packages to seeking advice from financial and legal professionals.

Beth opens up about the challenges of rapid career growth, navigating complex compensation packages, and the lessons she learned about seeking professional advice from lawyers, accountants, and financial planners along the way. Together, Tim and Beth highlight how thoughtful financial planning made it possible for her to transition confidently from a high-paying executive role to full-time entrepreneurship—while supporting her family, managing big life expenses, and ultimately achieving her goal of being debt-free.
