Summary

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:

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
How she made a way for herself in NYC without having any money or knowing much
Why she focused on education as a means to get out of poverty
The characteristics she instilled in me and the lessons she taught to me growing up
The fact that she taught me the importance of saving but never really taught me about managing money
The many ways she helped me financially even though it meant sacrificing her own goals
Plus so much more
