Get Rich Slow Club
97. Tash's career journey: from support worker to finfluencer
We love questions at the Get Rich Slow Club. And since launching, one question has appeared frequently from our community. People have used different wording, but it pretty much boils down to:
“How did @Tashinvests become @Tashinvests?”
Sure enough, her transformation from Natasha Etschmann the support worker into @Tashinvests the content creator didn’t happen overnight. It also isn’t something we could summarise in a sentence. HOWEVER, someone MIGHT be able to summarise it in a podcast episode. And that, folks, is what the Get Rich Slow Club is doing today.
They leave no stone unturned in this session; no juicy detail omitted. Whether you’ve wondered about Tash’s history or you're looking for inspiration on your own side hustle, this is an episode you’ll want to catch.
