  • From Zero to Road Map to Real Investing; How Sam Dolcine Did It! | Ep. 21

    Welcome everyone to the next episode of the BetterWallet podcast. As you guys know, the BetterWallet podcast is all about helping to demystify the topic of money and helping to share powerful stories from people that truly beat the odds. However that might look like for you. And how they went off and found financial success.

    Today we have my brother on the line, Sam Dolcine; this is my first time seeing his last name. I'll call him Sam from the Black Real Estate Dialogue. Sam and I have been connected for a while. We have worked on plenty of different projects together on Instagram. And I wanted to bring him onto the podcast to talk more about real estate and his story. If you don't know who he is, Sam is, in my opinion, a real estate guru. And he focuses on helping new real estate investors get into the market.

  • Become debt-free. Check! Hike the Appalachian Trail. Wait, what? Lauren's Story | Ep. 18

    We are pleased to have Lauren with us on today's show. Lauren is a personal finance coach at @moneywithlauren. She is also a hiker who has trekked all the way from Georgia to Maine. Whoa! When Lauren isn't busy hitting the trails, she is hard at work with coaching others on how to manage their personal finances. 

    Lauren is an accountant. She graduated from college and obtained her CPA. Upon graduation, she found a good job with reasonable money but later found out that she couldn't manage that money. After feeling burned out and ready for a change, Lauren decided the time was right now to get her personal finances straightened out. So Lauren ventured out on a journey that steered her towards debt freedom and the great outdoors.

  • Finding Your Financial Superpowers; Chloe's Story | Ep. 17

    Wouldn't it be cool to have superpowers? Imagine if you could lift things with your mind or even fly. That would be so cool, wouldn't it? Imagine what you could only do with the power to move things, for instance, if you get stuck in traffic behind someone who doesn't want to do the speed limit. Imagine being able to lift cars out of the way at will. 

    In this episode, we may fantasize and dream about having El's powers from the Stranger Things series. Still, when it comes to topics like paying off debt and finding financial success in freedom, there's no fantasy there. It's a reality, and our very own Chloe Daniels has made it one for herself. Let's buckle up and get ready to hear Chloe's story of how she became Clo Bare Money Coach. This is going to be a fun and exciting episode. You won't want to miss this.
