Well, let today be the day you finally map out the plan. There's something to be said and taught about FIRST figuring out who you ultimately want to be or what you want to do...analyzing how to get there, the mechanics, connecting the dots and then creating that experience for yourself. Our guest today Amanda Kludt has her own experience with this.

I love celebrating birthdays and the holidays but no matter how much I try to insist that family and friends DO NOT buy gifts for Evan we still end up with so many toys. People want to give and I love them for it...But what if there was a better way to channel that good will into something more meaningful for your children...? Today's guest is working on a solution. Tanya Van Court recently launched iSow.com, a site that helps our kids and the younger generation understand the true value of money, where young people can choose "goals" instead of goods in 3 key categories: saving towards the future, sharing with those who are less fortunate and spending wisely on things that matter. Then iSow creates a link that you can share with friends and family that are wondering what to gift you for the next occasion. The site is still in its infancy but has received over 1,000 members.More about Tanya... before starting iSow, Tanya served as the Vice President of Partner Marketing at Discovery Education. She also worked at Nickelodeon as the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Preschool and Parenting digital products.She's dedicated her career to the well-being of kids and is a mom, herself.For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

She's calling 2017 the year of the Pink-cubator and dedicating her all to promoting female start-ups - especially in the male-dominant STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.)For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

Here to set us straight in 2017 is one of my original So Money guests, David Bach. You know him well. David was featured during the podcast’s inaugural week back in January of 2015 along with Tony Robbins and Robert Kiyosaki. Since then he has traveled around the country, met with his readers and fans and from that has released a revival of the book that really set off his fame and changed the way we think about becoming rich. He debuted the book on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2004 and now the The Automatic Millionaire has been expanded and updated to reflect the fast-paced and, in some ways, challenging financial world we live in today.So how have things changed, exactly? We talk about the evolution of tech and how that’s impacting our wallets, how to manage our money during a Trump presidency and the 3 words, David says, that will determine IF you will be rich.For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.  Hosted on Acast.
