About

Lillian Karabaic is the host of Oh My Dollar! - a personal finance show that is accessible, non-judgmental, and comes with a dash of glitter. The show is syndicated in 8 cities and the podcast ranks in the top Business podcasts on iTunes with over 1,000,000 downloads. She speaks around the world and teaches personal finance to youth and adults alike. Her book "A Cat's Guide to Money" - a cat-filled purr-sonal finance book - is on its second printing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lillian has the ability to see the big picture and break it down into actionable steps. Here are some description of her from past collaborators: - "Systems builder." - "Able to make anything she is into seem like a great idea to others too; the gift (and it really is one) of enthusiasm, en-theos, being filled with and expressing spirit." - "Ability to understand complex systems and talk about them in the context of the larger picture" - "Seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes her interest." - "Lemons to lemonade and beyond with infectious laughter, creativity and passion." Collaborators love Lillian's ability to communicate complex policy in easy-to-understand ways. Public speaking, youtube videos, comics, dressing up in a Bowie costume to explain 401K allocations - whatever it takes to get the message across. She's on a mission to make personal finance accessible and fun. She's excellent at long-range planning and detail-oriented work; this includes business planning; data systems, evaluations, event planning, development, legislative strategy, RFPs, and grantwriting. She's obsessed with great data and believes that it is the core of all good decision making. She believes great data has heart and soul - and that even in small organizations, it's not a luxury, but a necessity. Lillian graduated with a degree in economics from Reed College, served 2 terms in AmeriCorps, and has 14 years experience working on innovative young adult education programs.
