How to Stay Emotionally Calibrated with Tim Chen of NerdWallet

In 2009, Tim Chen found himself laid off from his Wall Street job
and was trying to figure out his next move. But a simple question
from his sister about finding the right credit card turned into the
core idea for NerdWallet, the company on a mission to give
consumers clarity around all of life's financial decisions.
NerdWallet started as a tool to help people shop for credit cards,
but has scaled to serve over 19 million users. In 2021, Tim led
NerdWallet through an IPO. Tim shares why they raised venture
capital only after the company was profitable, why he loves the
Jeff Bezos quote that very few decisions are irreversible, and how
his parents instilled Tim's entrepreneurial drive.
