I participated in #InternationalPodacstDay for Paychecks & Balances this year. International Podcast Day occurs annually on September 30th. It is an international celebration of the power of podcasts. It’s a great opportunity to connect with fellow podcasters, podcast listeners, podcast enthusiasts, and leaders in the podcasting industry. Learn more at InternationalPodacastDay.com.

Paychecks and Balances Feature: USA Today Money

March 26, 2017 by Marcus Garrett

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.

Guest Feature: Stacking Benjamins

October 10, 2016 by Marcus Garrett

Stacking Benjamins is a podcast that recongizes everyone doesn’t start at the same place with money. They focus on explaining the basics AND talk about more advanced topics when appropriate. They’re not here to lecture, which is why they talk about their wins and losses in equal parts, so we can all learn and benefit from them. We met Joe — the man, the LEGEND behind Stacking Benjamins at FinCon but even before FinCon Joe welcomed us on his show for From Drowning to Debt Free. Rich and I had a great time recording and thanks to Joe’s polished interview style, I was able to share some of the many personal lessons I learned as I reached rock bottom and climbed my way back to debt freedom. Click here to listen to our guest feature and check out all of Stacking Benjamins’ content on their website or through iTunes. You can follow Joe on Twitter @AverageJoeMoney.
