Welcome to season 5! Since Season 4, one of the things I’ve been focusing on has been getting my financial life together. To do that, I hired a financial planner, who is also today’s guest on the show.

Rianka is a certified financial planner, the founder of Your Greatest Contribution (YGC), a virtual comprehensive financial planning firm, and the Creator and Host of the 2050 TrailBlazers podcast. Rianka is also a CFP Pro Spokeswoman, a CNBC financial advisor council member. And as if that weren’t enough, she was awarded the inaugural rising star award by Investment News and listed among Ten to Watch by Wealth Management in 2017. In previous years, she has been deemed 10 Young Advisors to Watch by Financial Advisor magazine and 40 Under 40 by Investment News.

This episode is for you if:

1. You’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your finances, and wanted to be great with money
2. Want to transition into entrepreneurship and don’t know how to get your money right first
3. Don’t want to be an entrepreneur, but want to know how to attain financial freedom
