| 0:02.8 | Hey everyone, welcome to the Millennial Investing Podcast. |
| 0:06.0 | I'm your host, Clay Fink, and today is another release of our many episode series that we send out to you all every Saturday. |
| 0:13.3 | This is the type of episodes where it's just me diving into a specific topic related to personal finance, money, investing, or other related topics. With that, |
| 0:22.1 | let's dive right in. You're listening to Millennial Investing by the Investors Podcast Network, |
| 0:28.0 | where your hosts, Robert Leonard and Clay Fink, interview successful entrepreneurs, business |
