In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. Chris Nelson (@chris52nd) to discuss why financial aid is more than just money and how the meaning of money for students changes over time.

We also dive into:

• The tension between being a part of a greater community as a Native and individualism taught by Western Society;
• How your relationship with money impacts how you decide to pay for school;
• How following the path of others in your own way will inspire others to do the same; and
• Why and how Dr. Nelson persevered as a first generation college student to achieve her current level of success.
