For Financial Literacy Month, April 2017, I was lucky to do a phone interview with NerdWallet writer and retail expert/reporter, Courtney Jespersen. You can read the piece, How One Man Dug Out From $30,000 in Debt, which covers 5 debt tips I use and includes a free 50/30/20 budget calculator on their site. Thank you for the continued support.

We met NerdWallet personal finance expert and writer, Amrita Jayakumar, at FinCon16. Proving the theory “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know” we were fortunate that she thought of us again in 2017 when she was putting together an article on personal finance gurus for an upcoming piece. While both Rich and I continue to debate who is the ‘guru’ half of the show, we were happy to be considered with so many other great and talented individuals. You can read the article, African-American Financial Gurus to Follow, on NerdWallet.com and USATodayMoney.
