Join founders Emilie Bellet and Timi Merriman-Johnson, for a talk on how our mindset around money influences our business direction.
About this event
In this talk with Emilie Bellet, founder of Vestpod, and Timi Merriman-Johnson, founder of Mr MoneyJar, we will be discussing how our mindset around money influences our business direction and planning. In striving towards a healthy approach to money across both business and personal matters we must first address our financial habits - once we master this we can then align our core business values and purpose with a financial strategy that reflects our approach.
Join us to learn from two expert financial influencers and educators bringing together a wealth of experience and advice to share with the community. They will be offering guidance on the state of the financial world right now, how to challenge your money mindset, and connect this with your business strategy. The session will also explore the importance of reflecting on the way we spend and invest our money while factoring in people and planet,
Emilie and Timi will share their best practices and practical advice for budgeting, investing, and making the right financial decisions.
Who is this talk for?
For entrepreneurs, start-up founders, and new business owners who are keen to get their finances in order. It is equally important for small business owners who want to learn to manage their financial budgeting.

Reflecting on her years working in finance, she realised she was not saving or investing enough and could not find the support to do so. She then decided to launch Vestpod for women - as a way to provide education and a community for women to start breaking the taboo around money. Vestpod is a digital platform with a popular weekly newsletter as well as personal finance workshops, networking events and corporate wellbeing programs.
Emilie frequently organises finance talks for corporates and speaks at events (AllBright, Ellevate, Harper’s Bazaar Summit) and book festivals (Edinburgh, Cheltenham, Birmingham).
