  Episode #4

  S4 • EP 4 From a Bedroom Podcast to Building a Fintech Company with Elias Wambugu

  Jul 28, 202650 minS4

  Follow Elias on Twitter (X) Follow GWP on Instagram Connect with Elias on Linkedin Join the Newsletter Three years ago, Growing Wealth Platform wasn't a startup. It was a podcast recorded in a bedroom in New Jersey. The goal was simple: document what I was learning about building wealth and make it easier for young adults to take action. In this episode, my co-founder Elias Wambugu and I share the story behind how that podcast evolved into Growing Wealth Platform —and the lessons we've learned while building it. We talk about: How GWP started as a podcast with help from my friend Jomar. How Elias and I met after moving to San Francisco. Why finding the right co-founder takes time. The cost of building a startup and what it really takes to keep going. Why talking to users forced us to rethink our product. How our original AI consumer assistant evolved into an AI platform for financial advisors. The Schwab meeting that changed how we thought about financial advice. The thinking behind the GWP Score and our onboarding experience. How we're helping advisors spend less time gathering information and more time giving advice. How young adults can measure, benchmark, and improve their financial progress. Why distribution matters just as much as building. If you're building a company, trying to grow your wealth, or curious about what really happens behind the scenes of a startup, this episode is for you.

  Jun 3, 202648 minS4

  S4 • EP 2 You're Not Behind. You Have Money Dysmorphia

  Apr 9, 202641 minS4

  43% of Gen Z and 41% of Millennials feel financially behind — even as Federal Reserve data shows young adults are wealthier than any previous generation at their age. In this episode, we break down exactly why this disconnect happens, what 'money dysmorphia' and 'phantom wealth' actually mean for your financial decisions, and how to stop measuring your financial progress against a broken benchmark. Plus: the GWP Wealth Score — a 0-to-850 score that gives you the number most young adults are missing.

  S3 • EP 27 The Truth About Beauty: What Brands Don’t Tell You (with a Formulation Scientist) | Dr. Maryam Mardkhe

  Nov 15, 20251h 30mS3

  This episode explores the intersection of beauty, science, and wealth through the story of Dr. Maryam Mardkhe, founder of Stirbar Lab — a zero-waste, sustainable beauty lab where ancient rituals meet modern chemistry. Maryam’s journey begins in a land rich with poetry and art — where the first rose distillation took place over a thousand years ago — and evolves into a mission to redefine how we experience beauty today. She brings a rare blend of scientific precision and artistic spirit, showing how chemistry can become a creative language for self-expression, sustainability, and empowerment. At the heart of this conversation is a bold question: What if wealth wasn’t just about accumulation — but about creation, connection, and care?
