Got debt? We have a solution. Or rather, our guest, Jenni Zepol, does. Every eight weeks we look back through our collection and play some of our favorite interviews, and this one is no exception. No gimmicks or get rich-quick schemes – Jenni shared her strategy and goals on how she paid down her debt in less than a year and they just may work for you too.
Check out our original show notes below:
We LOVE success stories, and today we’re talking to one woman with a great one. She set out to pay off over $18,000 of debt in a single year. But what happened? She actually did it in just over half that time: seven months. Sounds good? We thought so too, so we called up Jenni Zepol to see just how she did it. The great news? Many of you may be able to follow her tactics and do it also.
Plus, in our headlines segment one whistleblower claims she was fired for raising red flags about her employer’s alternative investment sales. While we’re not going to set out to prove or disprove her claims, we will draw a point on why it’s important to make sure your advisor is always acting as a fiduciary while helping you handle your finances. And in our second headline, one Florida teacher quit his job to become a 6-figure earning personal shopper. Any lessons we can learn there? Absolutely.
We’ll also have time to answer a listener letter, and don’t you worry, we’ll also dish out a dose of Doug’s trivia.
