Part 1 of 2 talking about life's ups and downs, marriage, divorce, children family hitting rock bottom and being able to find a way back. Amazing story that many of us can relate to. Had to split this into 2 podcasts because the conversation was so amazing fun and needed to be told.

A real deep episode where I discuss of how my knowledge about finances, financial education and money has helped us deal with a loved one who was ill and just passed the morning I recorded this episode. Thank you to all who follow our journey. I hope this can relate and help those who listen to or watch our podcast. Keep Growin' ya'll we love you! And I love you Tala my beautiful wife! 

In this episode I discuss how I was able to save money while being broke. So here is the correct quote that I butchered in the episode. 

"There is a difference between being poor and being broke. Broke is temporary and poor is eternal".  I love this quote! It's all about mindset!

Thanks and enjoy! Keep Growin' !!

In this episode Me and Tala talk about our beginning path. What led us here and how we started our financial education journey. This episode is for you. Yes you! The beginner! We all start at 0. Or negative whatever! lol But just like our journey we had to begin somewhere. Baby steps my friends.

our brief breakdown of our humble beginnings:

1. I finally listened to an audiobook that many people always told me about called Rich Dad Poor Dad. It opened my eyes to this new world. Yup!

2. I applied my knowledge from the book grabbed my wife and took her with me to start this journey. At the library on Saturdays.

3. Started learning about real estate which led learning about everything about CREDIT.

4. Started educating ourselves on everything credit and how to get ourselves out of debt.

5. Started our journey of $$$ SAVINGS to rebuild our credit and save for future investments

6. GOAL SETTING. Sounds corny but it is a must! Set our goals for that first year and have been rockin since!
