After surviving the mean streets of the inner suburbs in the Great State of Texas, Marcus Garrett obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and work experience as a Certified Internal Auditor, Financial and Data Analyst. As a Senior Millennial, his inflated self-esteem was amplified with participation trophies given to him without merit during his most impressionable years. Somehow, he overcame these personal roadblocks to become an award-winning freelance writer on topics ranging from love and relationships to debt and personal finances. You'll learn how Marcus found opportunities to broaden his horizons by constantly reading self-help and money/financial related books, committed to building his family by recently getting married, and how those individuals and business owners with high-net worths and income levels can take his candid approach to debt paydown and use it a way that doesn't provide blanket statements, but caters to your specific needs. His coaching and writing have helped thousands and he's appeared on CBS News, USA Today, MarketWatch, Money, NerdWallet and Yahoo! Finance to share his story and principals.
