Talk to Me, Melly

This week, I seek the wisdom of a peer to speak on money.

Philip is 25 and deeply passionate about hedge-fund investments since the age of 16. Since then, he's managed his own portfolio, and has blessed others by helping them manage theirs outside his working hours.

We chat about how he found his passion in banking (outside of the money), how his perspective of money has changed since given responsibility of someone else's finances and finally... what I can do, as a millennial, to make bank with what I have.

"We parent with a lot of freedom,"

It's no secret that I have a long history with the Mogards, and I'm very pumped to share with you a conversation I had with Mo regarding parenting and social media. Born and raised in Iowa, Mike & Emily Mogard moved to Brunei 7 years ago. Since then, they have created a fitness empire consisting of 3 gyms, an equipment business and raised 4 children concurrently.

In this episode, we dive into Mo's beliefs about using freedom as a means to help kids discover their passion early, and their modus operandi for parenting in the age of social media.
