Welcome to another episode of IMWK!  There is one word that has been buzzing through the news the last few months, a word other than 'pandemic' or 'coronavirus'...that's right we are talking about 'crypto' or professionally known as Cryptocurrency.In this episode, I give my best attempt to take the 'tech heavy' verbiage of cryptocurrency out, and break down the basics of what it is, how it works, and why it's important.  This isn't an episode recommending which crypto to invest in, and I am not affiliated with any currencies.  My hope is that I bring clarity to what cryptocurrency is and how it can be useful in the future.Thank you for stopping by, and I'll see you next week.For the Wealthfit.com article click here:https://wealthfit.com/articles/cryptocurrency-basics/For the YouTube episode by 99bitcoins.com, click here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41JCpzvnn_0&t=578s Support the show

It's National Financial Literacy Month!For those of you that don't know, financial health and literacy is very dear to me.  I've seen the tribulations individuals and families endured due to lack of educated financial decisions.  Businesses wiped away as they lacked preparation for a downturn in their business.  People being denied credit as they never took the necessary steps to position themselves to leverage credit in a time of emergency.Here are some shocking stats.  According to Spendmenot.com, in America: Only 24% of Millenials demonstrate basic financial literacy The lack of financial literacy cost Americans $415 billion in 2020 Just over 70% of American's retirement plan is to keep working This is why I'm so excited to have my amazing guest, the 'credit boss,' Eva Palacios from Empower You!  Eva has been in the financial game for over 20 years, and you don't want to miss the gems she drops in this episode.  We cover why its important to budget, how you can bring your goals to life by having a vision board, and how credit plays a role in your financial health.

Welcome back IMWK community!For those of you that doesn't know, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is one of my favorite shows of all time, and it's streaming now on HBO Max.  So, of course I had to binge watch it from start to finish.  One fo the episodes that stood out, was the one with Carlton accidentally takes drugs from Will's locker.  In thinking that it was just vitamin E, Carlton overdoses on what later is known as speed.  Even though Will never had the intent to take these drugs, his family was still impacted by his decision to allow drugs in his life, even without taking him.This brings up the question "do you think YOU make an impact?"  Listen in on thoughts about the show, and how I think it sends a great message to who we allow in our lives, and the responsibility we have to be a leader in our own social circles.

Clothes are very liberal. Miami and Miami Beach are vastly different culture and vibes Boat life is a thing You must be able to speak Spanish  Roller bladers still exist in 2021 Someone is always on the beach, no matter what time of day   There’s only one type of swimsuit available in Miami Beach  Everybody has a beach body, no matter what measurements, in Miami and it shows If your car doesn’t stand out, you should just uber Lyft  Miami has some of the boldest men when it comes to the attempt of courting a lady  You’ll probably run into someone famous at least twice if you’re paying attention During Covid, Miami-Dade county has a curfew of 12am. Other parts of the state do not.  Miami Beach traffic is worse than Seattle traffic, topped with angrier drivers who honk when people have the right away.  There isn’t an Uber/Lyft in Miami who hasn’t honked for traffic to move at a red light.  Pretty sure I saw Trick Daddy....and he still love the kids  New Flood Album 'Streets of Faith' and Merch: https://floodsociety.com Arsenal by Kenyatta: https://www.kenyattabanksarsenal.com Support the show
