On December 5, Plutus Voices returns to New York City, the site of the first event in the series in November 2018, to present a special free program for financial media influencers and the local community. Today, the Plutus Foundation is excited to announce special guests and speakers for this unique event to be held at The Financial Gym.
Plutus Voices New York City presented by Nav will feature networking and mingling opportunities, engaging speakers, and a special activity focused on stress and its effect on money and money’s effect on stress and mental health. The discussion is designed especially for entrepreneurs, side-hustlers, and financial influencers, but anyone who attends can expect to gain and share a lot of insight about managing money-related stress.
Thank you to Nav for sponsoring Plutus Voices New York City.
The special activity is the heart of the event, but our speakers are the soul of the evening. The Plutus Foundation is thrilled to share the insight, experiences, and expertise from our three speakers throughout the evening.
Free tickets are LIMITED and available at plutusvoices.com/nyc2019. A waiting list is available.
Amanda Holden
Amanda Holden is a money writer, speaker, and educator. She left her job in investment management in San Francisco to get critically-needed financial education to the demographic she cares most about: Young women. (And anyone who has felt left out of these important conversations, because they are so often reserved for the already-wealthy.)
Through her business, Invested Development, she educates young women about investing and other money topic—because the world needs more women with financial power. She also writes a blog called The Dumpster Dog Blog, which is scrappy, no-BS finance education for young women. Her blog has been nominated for Money Blog of the Year and Women’s Money Blog of the Year for two years running, and won a Plutus Award for Best Social Media for the free investment education (and general tomfoolery) she provides on Instagram.
