Wealth Is a Mindset

“Shang is my go to for no-frills, direct, and effective financial advice. She’s taught me that wealth is less about buying fancy stuff and more about taking care of the people you love and building a life uniquely for you.” — Sho Dewan, Founder and CEO of workhap“As a client of Shang’s, my husband and I gained a better understanding of financial options for people like us, in careers where income fluctuates. Her no-judgment and direct approach was refreshing and helped diffuse emotional baggage. I now see myself as someone that can build wealth which has been a huge, positive mindset shift for me.” — Cole Imperi, Founder of the School of American Thanatology, Author”“I was originally attracted to Shang’s content because of how similar we are. There are not many other Asian American women from immigrant families that lived in NYC sharing the wealth of knowledge online of not just personal finance but even of the psychological piece. However, what made me stay for her content was actually because she touches what no other finance influencers have touched which really spoke to me coming from an immigrant family was fighting the scarcity mindset.” — Christine Wong, Content Creator & Tech Professional (@christine.innovates)
