We kick off the episode by speaking to Alexa von Tobel about her entrepreneurial spirit, her new book Financially Forward and how having control over your wallet can help you take control over your life.

Next up, we talk to Henrique Dubugras, CEO and founder of Brex who tells the story of how he built an online game at 12 years old, how starting a credit card company is actually quite complicated and how sometimes you just have to walk away (16.35).
