For the second week in a row, I had the pleasure of speaking with a wonderful person named Danielle. I can promise you I did not plan it, it just kinda happened.

As the first person in her family to graduate college, Danielle is using her financial knowledge to help educate others. Like many of us, Danielle was at one point living paycheck to paycheck and went through several years of financial struggle. But today, she paid off most of her debt, boosted her income from a variety of side hustles and is building wealth not only for her but for her kids by investing and saving for retirement.

Today, Danielle and I talk about investing for kids and why as a parent it is not only important to invest for our kids future, it is vital to educate them on the process.

Let's take a listen

You can read Danielle's blogs, find her social media pages and learn more about her at www.danielleshirley.com

I got to talk to Danielle today, a single mother who is killing it on Youtube and Instagram with her finance videos and posts.

When she became a divorce single mom making $25,000 a year, Danielle knew she had to make major changes. She took command of her finances by increasing her income, doing side hustles, paying off debt and investing.

She then decided to start a YouTube and Instagram page and she quickly realized that there we so many people, most notably women, that needed to hear what she had to say. We talked about how for divorce women, it can be a lonely situation and not knowing who to turn to.  So  having a community of other divorce women who can uplift each other is beneficial for our communities.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Throughout this process of connecting with personal finance influencers, the overwhelming theme is to build wealth for them and their kids. Talking to Maria, she brought something new to the conversation.

In addition to building wealth for her and educating her kids to make sure they get generational wealth, her and her husband are doing this for their parents. Maria moved to California from Mexico as a young girl and knowing all her parents did for her, she wants to make sure they can enjoy the later part of their lives.

As a first generation professional, Maria wants to teach families financial literacy, help build businesses and protect their assets.

Y'all wanna hear more about crypto, I get it. So finally, I am bringing the the episode so many of you had been had been asking about.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Sarah @thecryptoclique about all things crypto and boy did I learned a ton. No lie, I have done alot of reading on the crypto world but it's so different when an expert can break it down for you in very simple terms.

What I think we can appreciate from this episode is that it was educational. Most crypto people I know cant even tell me why a certain asset is good besides the fact that it is the future. Well Sarah broke it down for us today.

I hope you wokers enjoy it, I know I did!

Guys, you ever find yourself scrolling through Instagram seeing the same ol' stuff and you stop at something and you keep rewatching it? Well that's how I felt a few months back when I stumbled on Billy Guan Money Magic IG Page. He was using a coin with a clear glass to demonstrate something that had to do with finance.

I kept watching it and watching it to see if I can see he was cheating me. After a few mins I started going over his page and his message was different than most finance influencers on IG. You didn't see anything about stocks but more about the basics of creating wealth not only for yourself but generational wealth.

I had get him on the pod to talk about his passion for magic at an early age and his goals now on helping people being financially literate.

I don't know about y'all, but at 19, the last thing on my mind was financial literacy. Not really my fault, it is not something I even grew up thinking about, since my parents never talked to me about it. Being wise financially was never gonna be me. But that ain't Sean!

I met Sean on Instagram a few months back and we've collaborated on content and I have seen his page grown alot since that time. I was amazed how someone so young was on IG trying to grow his page while helping people learn about money instead of being out on college night partyyinnng :)

I think you guys will enjoy our conversation together and I bet you will be asking yourself is this kid 39? Cuz no way someone that young can be so grounded and aware of his mission.

Take a listen!
