Ep 407: From Blogger to Media Mogul With Sami Sage

HerMoney with Jean Chatzky

While some may say 2023 may have been “the year of the girl,” we say, unapologetically, it was the year of the woman. Just take a look at Taylor Swift. In 2023, the term “Swiftonomics'' was coined — because Swift generated significant revenue, tourism, and jobs in every city where she performed. Like many other incredible women, she owned her power in a new way, and the world took notice.

Betches Media took this concept — that ALL women should celebrate being powerful, and own our instincts to never back down — and they created a media empire out of it. Sami Sage, co-founder, and ​Chief Brand Officer of Betches Media joins us to talk about selling the brand, and why she’s not afraid to say that she cares about making and spending money in alignment with her goals.
