Summary
Happy BA Wednesday, this week's special guest co-host is the fabulous Jamila Souffrant from Journey To Launch. It started as a blog initially, chronicling her expedition to reach financial independence. After one year of logging her transformational growth to Financial Independence, the blog piqued the interest of a larger audience which inspired the launch of the podcast of the same name. Jamila talks about:
- How a breakdown during a 3 hour commute started her journey (5:04)
- How she was able to leave a 6 figure 9-5 to become an entrepreneur (8:33)
- Navigating life as an entrepreneur and parent during a pandemic (36:28)
And we answer a great listener question about the smartest way to use inheritance money.

| 1:11.1 | Hey, BA fam, I can't believe we've already passed the halfway mark to June. How have I survived this long without my girl, Tiffany? I'll tell you what.
