Building Wealth From The Inside Out With Dr. Michael Thomas, Jr.

Understanding money goes beyond just knowing facts; you also need the confidence to make smart choices. In this episode of the New Wealth Wave Podcast, Dr. Joaquin Wallace chats with Dr. Michael G. Thomas, Jr. about his book, Black Financial Culture, and the Generational Wealth Model. They cover the importance of understanding both internal and external systems, and Dr. Thomas stresses the need for being open and real when talking about money and how self-love and healing play a big role in creating wealth. Trust is key when it comes to making financial decisions, and addressing both internal and external factors can help you build it. Taking the leap to trust the financial healing process and get help from pros can set you on the path towards lasting wealth. Dr. Michael Thomas also talks about his own therapy experiences and why addressing the emotional side of mental health is crucial. He wants folks to know that just knowing about finances isn't enough to pass wealth down through generations – it also takes trust and self-assurance in making financial decisions. Michael G. Thomas Jr., Ph.D., is an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC®) and a lecturer at the University of Georgia. His research focuses on financial empathy, data visualization’s effects on financial behavior, and the connection between brain function and money.
