from The Financial Griot · host Lovely Merdelus, Lawrence Delva-Gonzalez, Alainta Alcin
To quote a great tweet from @sista_theology, "A God that co-signs everything I do, say, think and believe, is not a God; but an idol of my own making."Too often in this day and age, we relegate the work that needs to be done to others versus gaining a true understanding of our roles. We are here to serve. No man is an island, devoid of the purpose of service and being in service with his fellow man. As such, the Financial Griot podcast crew is dedicating this episode to share what really moves us, in hopes that you are moved to serve in turn.As always share, like and subscribe for real conversations with people on the wealth and happiness journey. Here's a bit about our background and who we are: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.
