In this episode, we get to discuss Gregory Foreman’s unique perspective on current social issues, so tune in!

We have Gregory Foreman for this episode of the High Functioning Hotspot. You may know him from his YouTube channel the Black Conservative Perspective. We discussed how he came into his own beliefs from his earlier years with his family, young adulthood, and then today. He started a YouTube channel, now with 180,000 subscribers, where he shares his insights on current social and political issues.

He also shares with us the challenges he has faced being a Conservative with the current sociopolitical climate around race and culture in the United States. Despite that, he stands his ground with what he truly believes as part of the BIPOC community in today’s world.

Money management is never an easy task but when you no longer have a choice, will you fail or will you become an expert yourself?

This episode’s guest is Barbara Huson. She grew up not knowing much about money despite her father being the “R” in H&R Block, the $4.2 billion publicly traded company. After experiencing financial trouble she finally let go of her intimidation with handling money and became financially independent.

Once a journalist who interviewed financially savvy women, now she is an expert in her own right. Barbara found her calling in teaching and motivating women to become smart with their own money and has authored many books. Join me for this episode of the High Functioning Hotspot as I interview “The Leading Authority on Women, Wealth, and Power.”
