"That concept is very powerful," von Tobel says.

Money is, simply, "a tool to help you live the life you want to," von Tobel says. Keep it practicalTalk to your kids about money in ways that make sense to them, von Tobel advises. "When you're walking through a store and your child wants something, pick it up [and] show them the price," says von Tobel. Adults often associate money with stress, because they're only thinking about "the things you didn't have," von Tobel says. "Trying to orient kids to have very positive, empowering moments around money early in their lives, we know from data [that] can change their life."

Not long after founding the startup, Gaon shared his vision with famed venture capitalist Marc Andreessen. It was notable to Gaon at the time that Andreessen — "one of those investors who's known for seeing where the market is going" — appeared to have pinpointed loneliness as its own market. That moved her parents, Cindy and Anne Jordan, who had sold their first healthtech company years before, to found the Arizona company Pyx Health. "The loneliness crisis is bigger, and more urgent, than anything I've worked on before," Nyborg wrote in a blog post. Inspired debuted a thesis in 2020 that identified loneliness as a key focus for the firm to invest in.

☆ Investor who studied at Harvard's 'Happiness Lab' shares the No. 1 thing that 'actually drives happiness'—it isn't money
  + stars: | 2023-08-23 | by ( Tom Huddleston Jr. | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Alexa von Tobel learned at Harvard University that money doesn't buy happiness. But despite her own financial success, von Tobel, 39, says she's derived the most happiness throughout her career from "the intangibles that money can't buy." "Through my time at Harvard's Happiness Lab during my undergrad years, I really gained a new perspective on what drives happiness," von Tobel tells CNBC Make It, adding: "What actually drives happiness are the simple routines and the daily rituals in our lives that create community and connectedness." In college, von Tobel earned Magna Cum Laude honors for a senior thesis on happiness in the small country of Bhutan, according to her LinkedIn profile. "The daily effort drives happiness, not the outcome," says von Tobel.

☆ The No. 1 thing successful people never do, from an investor who sold her startup for $375 million
  + stars: | 2023-08-09 | by ( Tom Huddleston Jr. | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
It takes confidence to launch your own business, but overconfidence can be a recipe for failure. That's why Alexa von Tobel warns not to get too caught up in your own success. People were clearly excited about the business, and von Tobel knew she'd "hit [on] something" with the idea. As a first-time entrepreneur, von Tobel didn't get carried away with her company's early success. Making sure you retain some "healthy paranoia" doesn't mean you have to live in constant fear of failure, von Tobel notes, or be afraid of celebrating wins, in order to be successful.

☆ How a Harvard grad school dropout launched a startup during the Great Recession—and sold it for $375 million in just 7 years

In 2007, while working as a Morgan Stanley analyst, von Tobel started working on a 75-page business plan. A year later, she entered Harvard Business School, assuming she'd need training and connections to launch a successful startup. She credits her detailed business plan, and her conviction that she could tap into an underserved market of people who urgently needed help. Fast forward, I went to Harvard and Harvard Business School, and I remember being taken aback that there was zero education about the wallet and our finances. I was in this extremely cozy, safe cocoon with a clear life plan.
