Earning Financial Freedom is a Revolutionary Act
from The Financial Griot · host Lovely Merdelus, Lawrence Delva-Gonzalez
The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the racial wealth gap. Merriam-Webster defines a Griot as a West African historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet, or musician. The griot is a repository of oral tradition and is often seen as a leader due to their position as an advisor to royal personages. As a result of the former of these two functions, they are sometimes called a bard.As such, we tell the stories that others don't. Stories that we should share for growth, opportunity and understanding. Beyond that we talk about Finances. Specifically, how to become Financially literate, incorporating actionable steps and ultimately building generational wealth. So there you have it, The Financial Griot or TFG for short. You will be in for a treat. The hosts were able to amass over $2 Million in wealth in about 8 years and are on track to retire early. If you want the secrets; we will gladly share them since opportunity is abundant and Win-Win.

What this episode covers
This is one of those rare bonus conversation, all about the Financial Revolution. In the past, we have the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution Part I and Part II and in modern times, the Financial revolution. The goal is to recognize the game that you are playing. As of now, your goal is to 1. Decrease unnecessary expenses in order to live the life that's tailored to you, 2. increase your income because inflation will eat it up and only cash flow matters, and 3. Investing the difference in yourself, your family, your experiences, your lifestyle, investments, retirement, real estate ownership and finally small business. Take a breather, we know it's a lot. This is what Lovely Merdelus and Lawrence Delva-Gonzalez chose to takle this massive problem in 30 epic financial literacy minutes. As always, we like to thank the five devoted fans that keep downloading this podcast. You keep us from not being completely #cancelled.
