In this episode, I sit down with Josh Rohde, a financial advisor at Northwestern Mutual. The term "financial advisor" often carries negative connotations, with many people viewing advisors as untrustworthy individuals looking to take advantage of clients. While there are some who fit that description, Josh is different. He shares his professional journey and the experiences that have shaped his career, demonstrating his genuine commitment to helping others.

In this episode, I'm joined by Andrew Cervenka who is an expert in building business credit. Most people do not know that business and personal credit are two different scores. This means that if you are trying to get a loan as a business but don't have any previous lending history, you will have to personally co-sign. Which then means that if you default on the loan the bank comes after your personal assets.

Trump has avoided this by making sure that each business has great credit and that none of his personal assets are intertwined with his business. Andrew walks through how he helps small businesses make this change and continue to build business credit. This helps small businesses grow into large businesses.
