Talking about money can be difficult, especially if you grew up in a family that never talked about it. That’s why we’re running a financial literacy series on the podcast to help you understand the basics, starting with our money stories, how (and why) we tend to rack up debt, and our own experiences of financial hardship and how we worked through it. This series was inspired by Scott’s young adult mentees and their questions, but you might be surprised by some of the insights we cover!

• Budget spreadsheet

In this episode, we cover:

• Calculating your assets and liabilities, and personal cash flow

• How our upbringings affected how we viewed finances as an adult

• Shifting your money mindset to planning for the future instead of living for right now

• Getting clear about your financial priorities

• Making a budget that feels empowering instead of dreadful

• The right way to use credit cards for rewards without racking up tons of debt

• How Steff and her husband paid off debt and changed their relationship with money

You started your business to solve a problem and leave a lasting impact in the world, but now the inertia of your business has taken over and you’re too busy and burned out to serve your community. That’s where we come in! Hosted by Scott Woods and Steff Thomas, the team behind Silverback Ventures, the Changemakers Collective podcast is here to help impact-driven business owners like you accelerate growth and multiply impact through servant leadership.
