BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackle a different money problem each week. Today, it’s how one woman went from being deeply in debt to being rich enough to buy into a castle in Italy. Hosted by Frances Cook. 


Sometimes you need a shock in order to make a change and today’s guest certainly had one of those in the past. 

She’d known she wasn’t doing well with money, but when she decided to face it head-on and add up how much she owed, she realised with horror that it was $187,000. 

Not only did she manage to pay that off, but she’s since gone on to create her own business and become pretty wealthy. 

I talked to Australian business mentor and author Simone Milasas for the latest podcast.
