Hello friends! Welcome back to our second episode in 2024! In this episode, we are excited to welcome Malia Gudenkauf, Grace’s sister and financial educator, also known as ‘Little Miss Finance’. Malia’s platform teaches women how to live their best financially literate life, and we adore her, not only because she is Grace’s sister but also because she has a wealth of excellent knowledge she openly shares.Malia’s journey with personal finance started in 2018 at the University of Northern Iowa, where she had a job lined up with a Fortune 500 company after graduation. One day, it dawned on her that she really didn’t know anything about money except that you should be saving some. She began taking free classes on campus and reading as many books as she could get her hands on. She was fascinated by the topic but confused as to why she wasn’t learning or discussing it in any real-world conversations. She was consumed by it and decided it was her mission, snowballing from a side hustle to posting on social media platforms to coaching other young people. She now runs it as a full-time business, loving every second of it.We are taking it back to basics and discussing how to get your personal financial house in order before you start investing. While this step is often overlooked, it is quite critical, and we’re examining why it’s important and how to do it.If you’re stuck feeling like,Where do I even start when it comes to finances?…this episode is a fantastic place to start!We talk about…Building passive income streams, specifically as it relates to real estate investorsMalia and Grace’s financial understanding when it comes to their upbringing and, looking back now, their perspective on what it looks like to be ‘wealthy’How their parents are a prime example of aligning spending with valuesIt’s so important to know your personal financial foundation before you scale, and this episode will help you do exactly that.If you want to know more about what Malia’s up to, or get more info on working with her 1:1, you can reach out to her on Instagram or you can email her directly.See you next week, friends!   Resources:Connect with Malia on InstagramGrab a copy of Financial Feminist by Tori DunlapGrab a copy of Psychology of Money by Morgan HouselSecure your seat for our 5 Systems and Processes to SCALE webinarLeave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram
