The Power of Financial Literacy: What Every Family Needs to Hear w/ Troy Millings 📋 EP153

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special edition of the Money Mondays podcast where we cover three core topics. How to make money, how to invest money, how to give it away to charity. Normally, I do these podcasts inside of an RV motor home traveling around the country. But I'm in New York City. So did that. We have to toy we should still do it. So did that. We can do a second episode. We got the toy drives coming up at the American Dream Mall, Miami Heat Arena. We're doing one in Virginia with Allen Iverson. There's so much going on.
