  • 59 yo Financial IQ Zero 😳

    Took a risk of feeling like an idiot when started listening to this Podcast. I want(ed) to strengthen my business/financial knowledge. My profession is general education so don’t hear financial terms at work. Most episodes are way over my head, however, I’m learning to track the lingo. Very appreciative for Boosting Your Financial IQ 🙌🏼
