Summary
Bola Sokunbi, finance expert, bestselling author, and founder of Clever Girl Finance, one of the largest personal finance media/education platforms for women in the U.S, joins the podcast to discuss her unique entrepreneur journey, how she "does it all" (hint: she doesn't), and why making an impact is more of a priority to her than making money.
We also go into generational poverty and wealth and why getting business education outside of social media is imperative to your success.
In this episode we discuss:
- The danger of assuming someone's wealth with how they look or how they paid for something
- Navigating making more money than your partner with open communication
- How Bola created her business without becoming a family liability
- Why you can succeed in the creative economy without baring it all
- The power of breaking generational poverty + more
