What does someone have to go through to come from nothing, become a millionaire, lose it all, only to gain it back all again? Meet, Patrice Washington, America's Money Maven, best selling author, speaker, and money coach. Patrice is also a regular on the Steve Harvey Morning show as his resident finance expert and has also made appearances on Doctor Oz and other major news outlets where she shares her money expertise and tips.

I first met Patrice at Podcast Movement 2017. I was always a fan of her platform and she was so welcoming when I introduced myself. We hit it off immediately and I asked her to sit down with me and chat about her story and rise to become "America's Money Maven" LIVE at Podcast Movement at the FinCon booth. Patrice really opened up about her journey, the highs and lows of what it took to become the woman she is today. In our conversation, we discuss so much, including:

• Her childhood and how it shaped her to be a go-getter and entrepreneur
• How she became a real estate mogul and millionaire by the age of 25
• Her lowest point of losing all of her money and investments which led her to an epiphany that would change everything
• How seeking wisdom and following her purpose allowed her to gain it all back and more
• The steps she took to become who she is today
• Why becoming mentally fit with your finances is a key to lasting financial success
