Today's guest is the co-founder of a website you probably know, you've probably been on it. It's called EliteDaily, it's a website that advertises itself as the Voice of Generation Y. And I know a lot of you are millennials.The site was recently sold for $50 million bucks, and Gerard or "G" as he likes to be called, has quite the story. He's a college drop-out turned serial entrepreneur, digital media executive, documentary film producer, and millennial thought leader and philanthropist. He's also been been named one of the coolest people in Silicon Alley tech by Business Insider. His story started after he left college after just one semester. He became a first time entrepreneur shortly thereafter and things didn't pan out as he had hoped — he's gonna talk about that.Fast forward five years, and he's a self-made multi-millionaire. Today he's 30 years old, he's built, backed, and invested in nine companies and trades that all have made seven figure plus profits. Another reason to be impressed by Gerard, Tony Robbins is his guru, and the following Tony Robbins quote changed his life as it has mine and many others. It goes like this, "Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure." And yeah I live by those words.From there Gerard was inspired to launch Fownders, which is his latest venture — Fownders. And it's what he's calling a mentor and a movement that will show our generation how he himself has been able to succeed in business. So he is going in front and center, teaching people what he's learned. And it's not out yet, so we'll have to stay tuned for what's to come.For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

Today's guest has a very cool title. She is a motivational cartoonist. What does that mean? She combines her love of drawing cartoons and helping others with their finances in the blog, Empowered Dollar. The blog chronicles the cartoon version of Steph complete in green tights and all to fight "the debt monster" in order to achieve financial freedom. Steph has been drawing since she can remember and added the personal finance expert to her work after she graduated from college with over $30,000 of debt to her name.  She was making barely minimum wage and knew something had to change in order to become debt free.  That's when she started her journey to financial freedom with her blog to chronicle how she was able to pay off almost $35,000 in student loans in just under four years.For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.
