Have you ever taken a look at the financial education space and noticed a lack of diversity among those educators and the traditional wealth services they provide?
My guest today is Dana Miranda. Dana is an entrepreneur and a certified educator in personal finance (CEPF). She founded Dana Media to diversify voices in personal financial media. Through the agency’s flagship website, Healthy Rich, she works with emerging creators to share stories that illuminate the diversity of our relationships with work and money.
In this episode, we’ll learn about:
- How Dana sought to diversify the financial education space.
- The intersection of money and culture.
- The importance of having conversations about money earlier.
- Building wealth in nontraditional ways.
- The value of freelancing and entrepreneurship.
- The biggest challenges facing new freelancers and entrepreneurs.
- And much more!
