The Financial Griot

Today we have guest Tiffany Grant (Money Talk with Tiff). She shares her money journey and helps others with financial education and counseling. 

The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the wealth gap while embracing our differences. We tell the stories that others don't. Stories about growth, opportunity, and embracing changes. Beyond that, we talk about Finances. Specifically, how to become Financially literate, incorporate actionable steps, and ultimately build generational wealth.

Can you imagine being a Millionaire in 20 years or less? Yeah, it's possible. 80% of millionaires are the first generation. That means they didn't come from wealth. We teach you how. Join a community of subscribers that welcome a fresh take on money.

So there you have it, The Financial Griot, or TFG for short. The hosts were able to amass over $2 Million in wealth in about 8 years and are on track to retire early. If you want the secrets; we will gladly share them since the opportunity is abundant and Win-Win.
