Hey guys, I'm Rachel Cruz. I'm George Campbell. And this is Smart Money Happy Hour.

That was really good. It's lengthy. It's a pretty great ding.

Here we are, Rachel. First episode. I'm so pumped about this. This was just a glimmer

maybe recommend you. George is an amazing podcast host on other podcasts where he talks about kind
