TNFG’s Top 12 Black Financial Podcasts That Can Redefine Your Wealth
If you want to tackle your wealth journey, start with TNFG’s top Black Financial Podcasts of 2022.
Many are struggling with their finances. From credit card interest fees, bad money management habits, or just following bad advice, you have to pivot. For a lot of us, the dream school – dream job – and dream spouse did not work out. It doesn’t mean that your life is over.
The American Dream is not debt. It’s not over just yet.
This is the part of the movie when you get back up again. It is time to take control and you have that power at your fingertip. No matter if it is on a tablet, laptop, smart TV or cell phone, you have access to YouTube; you have access to knowledge.
One of the best forms of active knowledge requires LISTENING.
Consequently, Podcasts are a great way to tune out all the external influences and listen to others without the intent to reply. This will force you to open yourself up to new experiences and a diversity of perspectives.

If you show me your friends, I can tell you exactly who you are; the same can be said about what you listen to.
Living in the age of infinite variety means that you can download and modify your life. The democratization of knowledge over the internet makes anything cat videos; memes and even rants go viral. We are bombarded with choices so it is up to us to click on the right options.

If all you do is watch ESPN, you will be stuck on the sideline spectating at the action. Instead, get in the game and modify to grow your wealth.
