The biggest mistakes people make are in love and money.  And how we do --- or don't --- talk about money can have a huge impact on our relationships. 

Today we’re joined by Libby Leffler, Founder & CEO of First (https://www.thisfirst.com) to discuss the good, the bad, and the misunderstood about prenuptial agreements ("prenups") when it comes to strengthening your financial and emotional happiness. 

So, who needs a prenup, and why?  Why are more women than ever initiating the conversation around prenups?  What risks are you exposed to if you don't have a prenup?  We discuss the rapidly shifting trends, evolving perceptions, and changing use cases around prenups today.  

We also learn about life as a tech founder (something we ex-investment bankers know nothing about).  Libby's shares not only her journey through some of the world's biggest tech giants,  but also her journey through motherhood as a founder at the helm of a new rocket ship company.

Libby holds degrees from U.C. Berkeley and Harvard Business School.  She emerged as a leader and executive at generation-defining companies like Google, Facebook, SoFi, and Compass before launching First.

Libby founded First to modernize prenups for smart couples who want a stress-free and affordable way to strengthen the financial foundation of their relationship.  

First provides seamless and cost effective legal agreements on its platform, created in collaboration with top family law attorneys. They are a completely online, flat-fee prenup platform that allows you and your partner to get a highly enforceable document reviewed by real lawyers drafted within a day – all for less than 10% of the cost of a traditional lawyer. 


We’re excited to bring our WSS listeners a special discount when you buy a prenup with First. Head to www.thisfirst.com and use the code “WSS10” at checkout to get a 10% discount on your prenup.
