Summary

Well, Journeyers, it's finally here: "Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A Step-By-Step Guide to Achieving Wealth and Happiness," hits bookshelves THIS WEEK!

In this solo episode, I "spill the tea," on what it was like writing my debut book, the behind-the-scenes of the publishing world, getting over self-doubt, and what you can expect when you pick up the book.

I also chat about letting go of perfection, why your dreams should be offensive, psychographics, the belief that the pursuit of Financial Independence is for everyone, and more.

In this episode you'll also learn more about:

Who the target audience is for my new book, "Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A Step-By-Step Guide to Achieving Wealth and Happiness"
How privileges and blind-spots of other personal finance educators and "gurus" pushed me to create a more relatable, authentically representative brand and book
The layout of "Your Journey to Financial Freedom," and how this book came to be in the world
Main takeaways for you from my experience spending 2+ years writing my life's work and gifting it to you
