  • 090 Edmund Moy - Making A Lot of Money with the Last Director of the US Mint, Edmund Moy

    Edmund Moy is the son of a Chinese immigrant who grew up working in his father's restaurant doing everything from washing dishes to the bookkeeping. As a young boy working the cash register at the restaurant, he would go through the change drawer looking for unique coins. This soon turned into a hobby and 40 years later he would be appointed the 38th and last Director of the United States Mint. (As of this recording the position remains vacant)

    Ed got his start working for the George W. Bush campaign and helped advise the transition. He was later asked to work at the White House as a Senior Staffer before settling into his role as Director of the Mint which he held from 2006 until 2011.

About More Than Commas

From the publisher's feed

Join Sound Financial Group CEO Paul Adams and President Cory Shepherd every week, as they help you Design and Build a Good Life™. Through the information provided on this podcast, we give you the ability to do this yourself. Why do we need to do this? Because every other media you're going to engage in has a vested interest in capturing your mindshare, and in having you spend your surplus, rather than you caring for your financial future. Your financial future is inevitable and uncertain. The only question is, will you have a Good Life? No one has one by default, only by design. Most of the financial podcasts out there can be valuable, though you will notice that many of them are from someone who is unlicensed. This podcast is unique in that it is led and hosted by licensed financial advisors who have been in the industry for nearly 2 decades, hence the disclosure below and in the description attached to each our episode.
