Education is a core pillar of this podcast because the more you learn, the more you can earn and the sooner you can reach the next level with your money.

HOST BIOS:

QUINTON CHILDS:

Quinton (or Q as he’s called on the web) has a mission: to free himself and as many others financially as he possibly can.

Born in Chicago and raised in poverty, Q saw some pretty low lows, but the love that surrounded him was priceless. Raised by a single father of 3, who worked 2-3 jobs, Q was shown the grit necessary to succeed.

Q knew he didn't want to repeat the cycle of poverty for another generation. From 2016-2022, he paid off $33k of debt, becoming completely debt free. He was also able to save a fully-funded emergency fund, increase his credit score and close on his very first home! Armed with this new knowledge, Q began his YouTube channel and started this podcast.

As a husband and father of 2, Q spends his days with his family and teaching the masses financial literacy.

MAHAD MUHUDIN:

Mahad is the Founder & CEO of Helping Hands Financial, LLC. He has been in the financial industry for the last 12 years and is originally from Somalia.

Mahad comes from a single mother that raised 4 kids in the rough streets of Chicago. Like many in this position, she was a hard worker, but lacked financial education.

Mahad decided to turn his life around and dove into financial literacy. He learned all things finances, taxes, and credit.

Since that decision, Mahad has started successful businesses and built wealth. From this success, he then began helping others struggling with understanding how the money game worked.

Mahad’s goal is to educate as many people as possible about financial literacy, which is where this podcast comes in.
