SecureSave's secret weapon: Suze Orman

This week, Mary Ann hopped on the mic with number one New York Times best selling author, producer, personal finance thought leader, and host of the Women & Money podcast, Suze Orman. We’re following up on Suze’s not-so-surprising-startup debut with SecureSave, what the company’s been up to and how Suze is thinking about protecting employees in today’s economy.

Here’s what we got into:

How little money many Americans have saved for emergencies and how SecureSave wants to change thatHow inflation may be making it harder for people to save when they have less money to do soWe ended, as always, with a “lightning” round Q&A in which Suze revealed her secret weapon for success
