In this episode of Forks, we talk with Nelson Soh—a renowned financial literacy expert, bestselling author, and TEDx speaker—who shares his journey from a CPA focused on career success to championing financial literacy, economic empowerment and living a life true to one's values. With years of experience working for companies like KPMG, Cathay Pacific, and CPA Canada, Nelson seemed to have deep financial expertise. However, in a vulnerable TEDx talk, he admitted that he also struggled with personal money management and realized that he lacked the necessary mindset to live a fulfilling life.

This “fork in the road” led him to reimagine his approach to money and inspire others to “win the game of money.” In this episode, we dive into:

•Uncovering Financial Blind Spots: How Nelson’s realization that expertise doesn’t guarantee financial security sparked his mission to help others.

•Mindset for Financial Freedom: The power of aligning finances with personal values to achieve a life of purpose.

•Balancing Saving and Living: Strategies for achieving financial goals today without sacrificing tomorrow.

•Navigating Social Media’s Spending Influence: How to make authentic financial choices in a world driven by social media.

•Empowering Future Generations: Nelson’s vision for teaching financial literacy in schools to help young people take charge of their financial futures.

🎧 Tune in for inspiring insights on building financial confidence, living authentically, and mastering your finances!
