Money Conversations with KJ
KJ is a life-long entrepreneur who has made a lot of money, lost a lot of money, and found his way back again. If you’re looking for a sterile “how-to”, then you’ve come to wrong place. KJ and his guests will walk you through real life situations, told by the people who lived them, and they are as messy as they are inspiring. Each episode will offer lessons learned, advice on how to replicate successes and avoid pitfalls, and a new perspective to power your financial literacy. Far from a one size fits all, this podcast can help you build a roadmap to your personal promised land (milk and honey for some, whiskey and steak for others), and remind you that you’re not alone on the journey.
