It is easy to be swept up by corporatised versions of International Women's Day. Lacey, without mincing any words, tells us who has to rise to the challenge (and it is not women) to fix the gender inequity that is prevalent through every part of society. She embodies how setting yourself up financially, equalises typical power disparities and allows you to unapologetically pursue activism.
Lacey Filipich helps people become financially independent and reclaim their lives. She founded Money School in 2010 to build financial capability in adults and Maker Kids Club in 2017 to teach children money skills through enterprise. Thousands of people around the world have used Lacey’s courses to liberate themselves from debt, start saving and get on the path to independence. Her debut non-fiction book, Money School, was published by Penguin Random House in 2020. Lacey graduated as valedictorian from the University of Queensland with an Honours degree in Chemical Engineering. She is a TEDx speaker and the winner of a 2019 Business News '40 under 40' Award.
