Brown Ambition

We have a very special show for you today! We are joined by the incomparable Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, who has made it her mission to financially educate and empower the masses ever since launching her personal finance coaching business in 2003. On today's show, Lynnette gets candid about building a business about her husband, raising three kids student debt-free, and making her dreams a reality — to create multi-generational wealth that offers her children and their children a boost she didn't have. "I'm trying to literally invest in my kids themselves. I’m trying to give them a leg up and do so in a way where not only am I telling them I have a great deal of faith and confidence in them, I'm laying out expectations as well," she told us in our conversation this week.
