In the spirit of keeping the fire alive, Luvvie is re-airing some of her most listened-to interviews with some dope entrepreneurs to keep the inspiration flowing.
In this episode, Luvvie is talking to lawyer, coach, and newly minted author Rachel Rodgers. Rachel is telling some powerful and formative stories she’s never shared before. She talks all about her career as a lawyer and how she shifted into the coaching and entrepreneurial space, and why she’s so passionate about making sure women – especially Black women – have the knowledge and tools they need to build multi-generational wealth. Rachel is someone who works hard, knows her boundaries, and is such a professional troublemaker.
Luvvie and Rachel discuss how Rachel was able to go from a negative net worth to riding horses that she owns on her ranch. And through her book and her business, she walks women through how that life and outcome is possible for them as well.
More about Rachel:
Rachel is the founder of Hello Seven, a multi-million-dollar company that teaches women how to earn more money and build wealth, and she’s the author of We Should All Be Millionaires: A Woman’s Guide to Earning More, Building Wealth, and Gaining Economic Power.
