## Resource

Investor and business leader Mellody Hobson sits down with Craig Melvin on this week’s episode of Glass Half Full for a conversation about motherhood, money, and what it takes to keep going. Mellody opens up about growing up on Chicago’s South Side with a single mom who bought easter dresses instead of paying the light bill, the fifth grade spelling test that changed the course of her life, and how financial trauma drove her to build a career in the investment business. Mellody also shares what her husband, George Lucas, taught her about parenting, and the simplest piece of money advice she gives everyone she meets.
