What if your journey to financial freedom began with a Craigslist roommate and a condo covered in shag carpet?     In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jessie Lang, a woman who accidentally found her way into real estate and went on to build a thriving investment business. Jessie didn’t come from wealth and didn’t have a roadmap. But she took one intentional step at a time, starting with renting out a spare room, and that small move sparked everything.     We talk about how she walked away from her W-2 job with no backup plan, built a portfolio of 75...

What happens when a woman dares to run for president before she can even vote? In this episode, I’m honoring the trailblazing Victoria Woodhull, a woman who broke every rule in the 19th-century playbook to claim her voice, her power, and her financial freedom.

Victoria didn’t just want wealth. She wanted control over how it was used, who got access to it, and how it could transform a woman’s life....
