Today’s guest is Alan Moore, a Certified Financial Planner and the co-founder of XY Planning Network, a fee-only RIA and location independent financial planning firm. Alan co-created this company because him and his business partner felt that Gen X- and Gen Y-ers were being ignored by the bigger, traditional financial planning firms; so they wanted to fill this void with the creation of this company. He is also the President of Serenity Financial Consulting, LLC, located in Milwaukee, which specializes in providing financial planning advice and investment management services to individuals or families in order to achieve their financial goals on an as-needed or hourly basis.Alan has been recognized for his work by Investment News, naming him among the “40 Under 40” in financial planning and by Wealth Management as one of “The 10 to Watch in 2015.” He is frequently speaking on behalf of topics including technology, marketing as well as business coaching and his quotes have been included in articles in publications from The Wall Street Journal to Forbes to The New York Times and more.For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

When I set out to start this podcast, I wanted to create a show where successful people could share their stories and advice through an open conversation about money, and hopefully inspire the listeners that they can do it too. My guest today, Adrienne Dorison has that same goal in mind in her business. Adrienne has created a 10 session and a VIP Intensive program to create your “Rich Life,” which she defines as all about self-mastery to reach your highest potential, creating freedom, financial success and lasting fulfillment. In this program, you receive coaching sessions, online support, access to her mastermind group of entrepreneurs and much more.A little more about Adrienne…she paid off $45K of student debt in just 6 months, has had a career at a prestigious Fortune 500 company, and is an accomplished athlete – she has even won a long distance triathlon!For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

Today I have the great pleasure and privilege of speaking with a fantastic award-winning journalist, Sharon Epperson. Sharon is currently a correspondent for CNBC covering the commodity markets and personal finance. She also appears on other NBC news shows like The Today Show and Nightly News, I'm sure you've seen her on television. She reports on a daily basis from the New York Mercantile Exchange where she covers the Energy Markets. She's won numerous awards include a Gracie Award for Outstanding Online Host for her financial advisor playbook video series on CNBC.com and the Trailblazer of the Year Award from the New York Association of Black Journalists. Sharon has a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology and Government from Harvard, and a Master's in International and Public Affairs from Columbia. So interesting that she ended up as a financial journalist and she talks about that journey, how she became the woman that she is today. What was the path that took her to CNBC? The opportunities that led her to financial journalism. You know she admits she was a little unsure of covering business news as a young reporter. We also discuss why Sharon is not worried about the fluctuations in the market place. This interview was recorded in late August when, as we know, the markets went on quite a rollercoaster. We had a tumultuous end to August and so what does Sharon make of all these heavy moves in the market, and what are her predictions as we go into the fall? The financial lessons she learned from launching her parents - that's another topic that we talk about with Sharon because she says, interestingly enough her parents did not really talk about money, but she still learned quite a bit from mom and dad and she shares that with us.For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

Today on the show we have, whom I think is a true leader in the financial education space. He is one of the first personal finance bloggers to really take the stage in a big way in the early 2000's before financial blogging was really a thing. Similar to J.D Roth who has been on the show, who is the founder of Get Rich Slowly, a very popular personal finance site. We have on the show today H. Luke Landes, or Luke. He's the founder of Consumerism Commentary, you may have heard of it, one of the first independent personal finance blogs. And on it, Luke held himself accountable for his own financial decisions. He had quite a journey to financial independence. The website became one of the most popular to provide basic financial guidance to, particularly young people, focusing on education, awareness, and decision making.Luke also had an accompanying podcast on which he's interviewed me several times and so I'm happy now to have him on my show and put him in the hot seat. Luke is also the founder of the Plutus Awards, a way to highlight independent financial publishers. I actually took home the Plutus Award last for Best Personal Finance Book when I published "When She Makes More". So I'm deeply grateful to Luke and to all those involved in the awards for that honor. And speaking of Plutus, Luke is also the founder, the new founder of Plutus Foundation, a community foundation with a mission to provide opportunities for the financial media community to support programs that enhance the financial capability and well-being of citizens of the world. What a mission!For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
