Olivia Tati
Real Estate Investing Expert
Olivia kickstarted her career in real estate as a part-time residential agent while working her full-time corporate engineering job, swiftly establishing herself as a prominent figure within the local community. She has a natural talent for connecting with people and bringing energy.
After paying off $25K of credit card debt in 8 months, and securing her first investment property only a couple of months after that, she knew that she could do anything she set her mind to. She was able to quit her corporate job as an engineer through house hacking and passionately teaches folks how to do the same through her community Wanderlust Wealth Academy, geared towards women looking for more time, location, and financial freedom through real estate investing.
Olivia has now transitioned into a career as a full-time real estate investor and coach, with a $3 Million real estate portfolio generating up to $40K/month that consists of a mix of short-term and medium-term rentals. Olivia is also the host of the Wanderlust Wealth Show and an avid traveler who has been to over 50 countries. She's on social media sharing her designs, travels, and investing strategies with her followers.
Ashely Olafsen
Philanthropic Giving Expert
Ashley Olafsen is launching a philanthropic advisory in 2026 that helps high-net-worth individuals turn wealth into meaningful impact. She curates socially impactful opportunities—from early-stage startups to established nonprofits—based on each donor's personal values.
Ashley's perspective comes from standing at the intersection of two worlds. After coaching 500+ entrepreneurs on funding strategy at IFundWomen and later working in advancement at Northeastern University, she witnessed a persistent disconnect: scrappy founders building urgent solutions on one side, high-net-worth individuals seeking meaningful impact on the other. Her work builds the bridge between them.
Today, Ashley leads community programming for 3,000+ student founders at the Harvard Innovation Labs and scales operations as Chief of Staff at Old Girls Club. She's building her philanthropic advisory alongside co-founders from MIT Sloan, Harvard Kennedy School, and Wharton - a team positioned to transform how wealth flows to social change.

Cheryl’s current company, Play Money, is a deal flow discovery and engagement platform onboarding the next generation of Angels with an experience that makes investing feel like social shopping.
