What is the Big Beautiful Bill, and why is it such a pivotal moment for financially vulnerable communities?

What are the biggest gaps you see between how legislation is written and how it actually plays out in people's day-to-day lives?

What are the five simple steps anyone can take today to protect themselves financially in light of this legislation?

What role does mindset play in becoming financially literate, and how can we help people make that shift?

In this week's episode, Shawn interviews Michelle Campbell, the author of Bluebird, a memoir that candidly explores themes of trauma, heartbreak, and the resilience found in life's struggles. She is also the founder of a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals through financial literacy and fostering economic stability.

Michelle was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, and began her educational journey in South Dakota before relocating to Atlanta, Georgia, to continue her studies. During her academic pursuits, she launched a real estate investment firm, marking the beginning of her entrepreneurial path. Over the years, Michelle expanded her ventures into various industries, including horticulture, where she founded an interiorscape company, and logistics, where she established a commercial trucking business. Drawing on the insights and expertise gained across these diverse fields, she transitioned into a career in the financial services industry.
