As small business owners we sometimes feel like we are on an island and no one else knows what we go through. But that 's not true! There are so many of us small business owners, me included, that have probably gone through similar things and know the ups and downs of running our own business. That's why I am sitting down with Alisa Kabakoff, Owner of Knit Me Sew Me where we chat about her business and advice she has for others in the small business world.

In this episode, I chat with Stephanie Mccullough, Financial Planner, Speaker and Podcaster. Stephanie changed careers at age 30 to work with her father, a lifelong financial guy. But she didn’t feel it was her calling until she discovered the Human Side of money. Talking about spreadsheets and investment performance wasn’t doing it for her! She discovered she loves digging into people’s money stories and motivations, and designing custom, personalized strategies to help them align their money with their values. A graduate of Duke University and the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, former sailing instructor and yearbook editor, it’s only looking back that she can see how all these things prepared her for the work she loves today. Our chat focuses on women and helping them feel financially empowered.You can find Stephanie here:https://sofiafinancial.com/https://www.facebook.com/stephanie.mccullough.334https://www.youtube.com/@sofiafinancialhttps://www.instagram.com/sofiafinancial/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemccullough/ Podcast: Take Back Retirement _____________________________________________YFM wants to hear from you!

In my latest episode of Your Financial Maven, I sit down with Roger Pearson, President of Seagull Technologies. For over 50 years, Roger has created, sold or managed many small businesses. But in 2001, he switched course and began working as a Master Tax Advisor/IRS Enrolled Agent. In that time he has watched hundreds of small business owners lose thousands of dollars needlessly. So recently, he made it his mission to provide entrepreneurs the knowledge to build a solid foundation under their business to keep more money in their pockets and give less to the government. My conversation was great and I enjoyed having Roger on. You can Find Roger here:https://www.seagulltechnologies.com/_____________________________________________YFM wants to hear from you!

Part 2 of my conversation with Small Business Owner Rich Waine of Richard Waine Photography. The conversation continues with small business talk and then shifts to share our insights for young adults and why understanding your money is so important. Rich is a professional headshot photographer based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Born and raised in Queens, New York, at a time when shag carpeting was still in style. A musician from the age of 9, I found inspiration and a desire to create. Rich is a graduate of Hofstra University, and have spent the better part of my career in the field of finance. Working long, stressful days on Wall street, I decided to take a different direction. He didn't just dive into headshot photography, but saw a YouTube video of Peter Hurley. In awe of his energy, knowledge and personality, Rich made the commitment to pursue headshots as his specialty. After meeting Peter and spending time with him at an industry conference, Rich was confident that this was my calling. Peter wasn't so sure. Rich is proud to be a mentor in The Headshot Crew and prouder still to call Peter a friend and mentor.As a headshot photographer and facial expression coach, Rich's goal is to provide you with an exceptional headshot experience and high-quality images that elevate your branding and marketing material. I can attest to that as I have used Rich twice in the last decade to take my headshots for both my business and my podcast. Whether you are striving to reach the next milestone in your profession, vying for the lead role in a production, building your client base, or searching for your love interest, your headshot is an essential tool in communicating your identity and personality.Here is where you can find him:Richard Waine Photography https://richardwaine.com [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/RichardWainePhotography https://www.instagram.com/richardwaine/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardwaine/ _____________________________________________ YFM wants to hear Send us Fan MailSupport the showFeel free to reach out to Your Financial Maven® at www.yourfinancialmavenpodcast.com⁠.
