In this episode I’m wrapping up Financial Literacy Month with a musical twist, drawing inspiration from a recent trip to Nashville, Tennessee. Known as a prime bachelorette destination and the heart of country music, Nashville also provided valuable financial fitness lessons applicable to everyone, especially young entrepreneurs and those at the start of their financial journey.
Listen in as I share personal stories and insights from my travels, exploring the parallels between the vibrant life of Nashville's music scene and practical financial strategies. You'll learn about the importance of asking for what you want, staying true to your financial goals, and the benefits of professional financial advice through the lens of honky tonks and country legends.
“Your financial dreams and goals don't need to look like anyone else's, and you should work with professionals that have experienced credentials and make you feel comfortable.” - Tracey Bissett
