This week on Financial Freestyle with Ross Mac, Ross interviews Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings, co-hosts of the Earn Your Leisure podcast and creators of Invest Fest, a fresh take on financial conferences. Childhood friends from the Bronx, Millings and Bilal started on different career paths—Millings as a teacher and Bilal as a financial adviser—but came together with a shared passion for education. What began as an effort to educate kids in the classroom evolved into a show that highlights entrepreneurial stories and diverse career paths, offering financial literacy to a broad audience. As they learned, so did their community, which soon looked to Earn Your Leisure as a trusted source of financial education.

Building on the podcast's success, Bilal and Millings reimagined traditional financial conferences with Invest Fest, infusing culture and fun into the experience to create an annual signature event. Their goal is to offer something different from standard business conferences, moving away from small breakout rooms to something more dynamic.
