075- An Interview With My Mom & How She Prepared Me To Prosper

<p>This is my most important and special interview to date. It's with my Mom. I talk about her so much on the show and in every interview I do so why not give you the opportunity to hear from her yourself. I give her all the credit for the person who I am today. She put me in this amazing position to prosper despite the fact that she didn't have much and had me as a young mom. In the episode, we talk about:</p> <ul> <li>How she had me at 20 years old and had to leave me behind as a baby in Jamaica while she came to USA to look for more opportunities</li> <li>How she made a way for herself in NYC without having any money or knowing much</li> <li>Why she focused on education as a means to get out of poverty</li> <li>The characteristics she instilled in me and the lessons she taught to me growing up</li> <li>The fact that she taught me the importance of saving but never really taught me about managing money</li> <li>The many ways she helped me financially even though it meant sacrificing her own goals</li> <li>Plus so much more</li> </ul> <div class="field-name">  <div>This episode was sponsored by Prepare to Prosper a campaigned by Wells Fargo designed to build financial capability and help address the African American wealth gap.  To check out their free resources, go to <a href= "http://wellsfargo.com/financial-education" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">wellsfargo.com/financial-education</a></div> <div> </div> <div>Also, check out the <a href= "http://www.journeytolaunch.com/launchclub" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Journeyer Launch Club</a> to join other Journeyers just like yourself who are on the path to launch to Financial Independence!</div> <div> </div> <div> <p><strong>Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode:</strong></p> <p>The doors for the Journeyer Launch club are now open!
