By J I Medina Investments

We can all agree that when we receive or research a topic for information , we can make a more informed decision. Well my mission is to share information on personal finance, entrepreneurship, and motivation. The reality is that even though we live in a time where information is available everywhere, it’s hard to decipher the useful from the useless. That’s where this podcast comes in, we share the useful information in hopes that you will better yourself and share it with others so that you can make an impact on them as well.
