Former Drug Dealer, Professor, and Author J. Dana Trent

Born to drug-dealing parents in rural Indiana, J. Dana Trent was a preschooler the first time she used a razor blade to cut up weed and fill dime bags for her schizophrenic father, King. This is the opening log line to her new memoir “Between Two Trailers”, and it is a wild story. She talks with Carl about the experience of hustling with her father and mother as a child and how it’s shaped her relationship with money today. In her effort to overcome such an unpredictable childhood, Dana emphasizes the importance of fostering connections, asking meaningful questions, and being vulnerable in order to create a sense of belonging in an often lonely world.   More About “Between Two Trailers”: https://www.jdanatrent.com/ Email List: Sign up at https://www.50fires.com for our monthly email with resources for financial advisors!  50 Fires Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/50firespod/ Please direct business inquires to: [email protected] Cover Art: Josh Passler - TheFinArtist.com Music Credits:  Alexandra Woodward / Rabbit Reggae / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com Cody Francis / Wherever You’re Going / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com Learn more about your ad choices.
