From First Condo to Cashflow: Jessie’s Real Estate Story 06/04/2025

From First Condo to Cashflow: Jessie’s Real Estate Story 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 rental doors, and now empowers others to build wealth through real estate. Jessie’s story is honest, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. You just need to take that first step. 00:00 How Jessie “accidentally” became a landlord 05:00 Childhood lessons & early money mindset 10:00 Buying her first property with $3K in savings 15:00 House hacking + quitting her job with no plan 20:00 From wholesaling to long-term rentals 25:00 Learning the BRRRR method & building systems 30:00 Managing properties + walking away from bad deals 💼 Be the Boss of Your Own Money.

Women's Financial History: The Ongoing Journey of Women's Wealth 05/28/2025

Women's Financial History: The Ongoing Journey of Women's Wealth Let’s take a moment to explore the powerful and often overlooked history of women and money in America. This journey has been marked by bold shifts, surprising setbacks, and undeniable progress. The path has been anything but linear from the 1862 Homestead Act to women now leading Fortune 500 companies. This isn’t just a look back; it’s a reminder that your wealth-building journey is part of something bigger. When we understand the laws that shaped us, like the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974, and celebrate pioneers like Madam C.J. Walker, we begin to see that financial independence isn’t just about money. It’s about power, legacy, and rewriting the future. Why does this matter now? I believe every woman deserves the financial power to walk away from any job or relationship that isn’t serving her. This episode is a reminder that we’re not just chasing wealth, we’re building freedom. Let’s keep learning, investing, valuing ourselves, and enjoying the journey together. 01:15 – Before 1974: Needing a man’s permission to open a bank account 04:30 – The Homestead Act and the start of women’s property rights 06:15 – Madam CJ Walker’s legacy of empowerment 07:45 – The 19th Amendment and why voting is part of wealth-building 10:00 – The Equal Pay Act: Progress and reality 12:45 – Janet Yellen and the rise of women in economic leadership 14:00 – From one female CEO in 1972 to over 50 today 💼 Be the Boss of Your Own Money.

Victoria Woodhull: The First Woman to Run for President 05/14/2025

Victoria Woodhull: The First Woman to Run for President 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. She wasn’t just the first woman to open a brokerage firm on Wall Street or run for U.S. president, she was the first to publicly connect money with female empowerment on a national stage. 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. This story? It’s not just about a woman in history. It’s a masterclass in ownership, resilience, and radical reinvention. So if you’ve ever been told to “stay in your place” or “wait your turn”, this one’s for you. Let’s begin. 00:00 – Why 60% of women stay stuck—and how money can set them free 01:10 – Victoria’s origin story: Poverty, survival, and an early hunger for power 02:40 – Breaking barriers: Launching the first woman-owned Wall Street brokerage in 1870 03:30 – Turning profits into purpose: Launching a radical women-led newspaper 04:15 – Scandal, truth-telling, and the cost of courage: Arrested on Election Day 05:20 – Reinvention abroad: Leaving America and reclaiming her power in England 06:10 – 3 key takeaways: Allies, platforms, and why reinvention is a wealth strategy 💼 Be the Boss of Your Own Money.
