Teaching kids about money should be entertaining and age appropriate. Using terminology they understand and playing entertaining games can help teach them about budgeting, investing, saving, and even negotiating.
Teaching grown-ups about money works the same way – keeping it simple, real, and doable. That way, they can easily share these friendly money tips with their kids, guiding them to handle finances responsibly and build wealth for the long term.
Take it from our Dreamer this episode, Maya Corbic, a certified public accountant and the founder of the Wealthy Kids Investment Club. In this episode,.
She shares insights on teaching financial literacy to both kids and adults, and empowering parents to raise financially independent children.
Maya is the author of "From Piggy Banks to Stocks: The Ultimate Guide for a Young Investor”, a book that breaks down investing concepts, making it easy for children to grasp essential skills while staying engaged.
In this episode we discuss:
- Maya’s money journey and lessons from living in shelters and Government housing as a refugee to financial independence in her forties.
- How investing $10 a week in Index Funds can help your children become millionaires.
- How to start teaching kids as young as 4 years old about finances.
- Teaching kids how to prioritize needs over wants
- Teaching children to save 50% of their allowance to start investing.
- Fun ways to introduce budgeting, credit cards, and negotiation to kids.

When you're starting out in your investment journey or aiming to build wealth, many people consider real estate investing. Our Dreamer this week, Yamundow Camara didn't just make it a reality - she used creativity to build a real estate portfolio in record time without overleveraging debt.
Yamundow immigrated to the US in 2016 through a scholarship. Five years later she has acquired 28 real estate doors, taking advantage of the pandemic, when people were fearful of investing to build up her portfolio.
This episode will not only give you a front-row seat into how Yamundow has been able to do that, but it will also remind anyone that your starting point doesn’t have to define how far you can go.
When Yamundow first moved to the US, like most immigrants, she believed in: getting a stable job and buying a home. But, she realized it didn’t have to end there. She didn’t just buy one property - she bought 28 doors.
In this episode, Yamundow Camara discusses:
- Creative ways she acquired 28 doors in 2 years without overleveraging debt
- How to partner with banking institutions to support your real estate ambitions
- How to find tenants who are more likely to stay in the house for a long time
- Why you should consider Section Eight renters
- Short-term rentals vs. travel rentals and why she does both
- A costly real estate mistake she made and what she learned from it

Wealth building is a journey that requires patience and consistency. That’s not the popular opinion in social media land but it is the only time-tested way to build sustainable wealth.
In this week’s episode, I am going to debunk 3 common wealth-building myths that are popular online but are problematic for anyone looking to start building wealth for their families.
I’m going into three wealth-building myths that you may have heard and why as wealth creators we should be aware of the implications.
- Life Insurance as a Wealth-Building Strategy
- Overleveraging Debt
- Building Wealth Overnight
Let’s be intentional wealth builders who take the time to do our research and educate ourselves and the next generation. That is the only way we will be able to build lasting wealth.
The road to wealth is worthwhile with every lesson that you learn along the way. Choose mentors wisely, but verify every lesson. You’ll get there slow and steady, Dreamers!
Dreamers' Wealth of Wisdom
- Overleveraging debt is just too dangerous and is not the best way for you to build wealth unless you're willing to lose everything.
- Invest in things that grow in value.
- You can earn a lot of money fast, but that doesn't mean that you build wealth because wealth comes with habits.
- You have to invest in your education, learn, and apply so that you can continuously invest.

Most parents would want their kids to leave home with a solid understanding of personal finance. For that to happen, we need to provide our kids with the skills and toolkit necessary for them to become financially responsible and build their own wealth.
The objective is that they become financially savvy and are confident with their decisions about money as they progress through the different stages of life.
Tune in to this episode as I share tools and tips to help kids:
- Earn more Money - Explore ways to encourage your children to earn money on their own.
- Manage their money - Discover tips to teach your kids about budgeting, saving, and responsible spending.
- Learn to invest - Provide guidance on the basics of investing and its essence in starting at an early age
Dreamers' Wealth of Wisdom
- My goal as a parent is that by the time my kids leave my house and go off to the next stage of their life, when they become adults they have a good understanding when it comes to finances.
- It's not about doing things for them so that they can build wealth. It's about teaching them the skills, giving them the toolkit, so that they can be financially savvy and build their own wealth.
- If we take the time to teach them habits that they can carry with them into adult life, then that will likely positively impact their finances and the quality of life that they live long term.

As a passionate book lover, I'm captivated by the unique ability of books to inspire and provide exceptional education. Books are truly special. They can provide a wealth of wisdom that can positively guide us toward living a wealthy life on our terms.
So, I am very excited to share the invaluable insights I received from 3 books that had a life-changing impact on my life:
- Smart Couples Finish Rich: 9 Steps to Creating a Rich Future for You and Your Partner by David Bach
- I've Been Thinking . . .: Reflections, Prayers, and Meditations for a Meaningful Life by Maria Shriver
- Black Privilege: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It by Charlamagne Tha God
In this week’s episode, I dig deep into the lessons I learned from these books and the role each of them played in my pursuit of living a wealthy life.
Dreamers' Wealth of Wisdom
- You are the hero of your own story. So own the story of your life, value it.
- We are unique and our individual stories are unique.
- If you work together with your spouse, you can build a wealthy life.
- Each one of us has privileges that we can leverage to become who we are meant to become or who we want to become, go after our dreams.
- There's something that you have that someone lacks and if you learn to appreciate that, then you can tap into that and then achieve greatness.
- Find gratitude in just everything that I already have, instead of focusing on where I want to get to – what I'm missing, what I'm lacking.

Have you been feeling that you’re stuck in a cycle and can’t move forward on your wealth-building journey? You may have experienced one of the common wealth mental blocks that a lot of us deal with.
In this episode, I tackle 5 common mental blocks preventing us from building long-term wealth and share resources to overcome them.
- The Scarcity Mindset - you believe that resources and wealth are limited.
- Fear of Becoming Wealthy - you fear success or doubt your capabilities.
- Fear of Failure - avoid risks that lead to your missed opportunities.
- The Comparison Trap - you constantly compare yourself to others which leads to feelings of inadequacy.
- Lack of Long-Term Plan - you prioritize short-term pleasure over long-term goals which hinders wealth-building.
- Recommended books and articles to overcome mental blocks
Dreamers' Wealth of Wisdom
- The thing with the scarcity mindset is if you don't acknowledge it and deal with it and recognize it, it can lead to even earning less money.
- Focus on delivering the best quality that you can so that you can command those prices.
- I would rather try and fail than not try years down the road you wish you had.
- Spend money on the things that we care about, that add value to our lives.
- Short-term things should come after investing in your future and your retirement.
- The lack of long-term planning translates to putting too much emphasis on saving.

Education is an investment in the future, but for many, the cost of that investment can be crippling.
This week, I sat down with Dreamer and Forbes 30 under 30 fellow Briana Franklin, the driving force behind The Prosp(a)rity Project whose mission is to empower Black women burdened by student debt and provide a path to prosperity.
Briana was knee-deep in student debt after graduating from an Ivy League school as she faced the reality of inconsistent income, making it challenging to pay off her loans with the unforgiving interest. After experiencing first hand how challenging it can be to build wealth while facing student loan debt, Briana launched, The Prosp(a)rity Project, her platform to combat a system that often leaves young professionals financially overwhelmed.
In this episode, we discuss:
- 35 to free: Black women’s 35% financial literacy rate and student debt
- Predatory lending practices and how they can trap borrowers in never-ending high-interest debt cycles.
- Mentorship and guidance to help set women on a path to prosperity.
- Mindset Shift: understanding the importance of transitioning from being an "ower" to an owner to set the stage for financial success.
- The Prosp(a)rity Project and why it is targeted toward Black women.
Mentioned In This Episode:
- I Will Teach You To Be Rich

What does it take to build a million-dollar brand from scratch? Dreamer James Hill, Founder of Black Millionaires, built a 7-figure company from the ground up.
In this episode, he spills his secrets on how to do it.
Growing up in Detroit with no example of success around him, James became the first person in his family to go to college. After college, he worked in banking and was on track to retire at 67 from his corporate career until he was exposed to more.
After generating significant revenue for his company, James got the opportunity to travel on a private jet to watch an NBA game courtside. That’s what opened his eyes to what was possible. After that experience, James decided to become an entrepreneur. After a failed business and thousands of dollars of savings gone, he went back to the drawing board; he returned to his corporate job and started Black Millionaires shortly after.
Whether you're an aspiring/thriving entrepreneur or just ready to elevate your wealth, you don’t want to miss this episode.
In this episode, James Hill discusses:

Dreamers' Wealth of Wisdom
- Representation matters. We need more representation of what women of color millionaires look like, women of color investors, hotel owners...it's so important to have that representation because I think that's the thing that makes a lot of people have that light bulb go off in their head, and they are like, okay - I could do this too. - Jannese Torres
- It gave me different perspectives as to why it's important to have residual income coming in. Because when the world hits sometimes it hits you hard. It comes fast and furious, sometimes in threes. - Jatali Bellanton
- Being a woman of your word and really understanding the importance of relationships have helped me throughout my career, and it's something I value very dearly. Our relationships and our brand, I take that very seriously because that can make or break you. - Davonne Reaves
- You don't have to not spend in order to maintain wealth. In fact, you need to diversify. You need to invest; you need to do things with the money in order for it to actually grow. - Ellie Diop

Dreamers' Wealth of Wisdom
- When I am paying for peace in one area of my life, instead of using that time in that way, I’m able to redirect my focus to things that I know I can do to create more income. - Patrice Washington
- We all have a money story. Every single one of us believes something about money. We were raised to believe that money doesn't grow on trees. Money is everywhere. Money is easy. Money is hard. Identify your money story. - Natalie Bullen
- Do an inventory of what comes up for you mentally and emotionally, sometimes even physically, when dealing with money. What comes up for you when you think about spending money? If you're questioning yourself and going back and forth, those are indicators of something. Because trauma is built by difficult, distressing life experiences. If it is causing you stress in any way, shape or form, that's an indicator of something that needs to be investigated and looked at. - Jacent Wamala

Getting an education and going off to college is supposed to be an exciting and hopeful time in your life. But, for most people, it also comes with student loan debt.
That’s what happened to Drs. Renée and Nii Darko who had $700,00 of student loan debt a couple of years after graduating college. The debt seemed like a burden they would have to deal with for decades.
After realizing that they would spend close to $1.2 million repaying their debt if sticking with the minimum payment, they decided to take a different approach.
With strategy, discipline, and sacrifice, they paid $700,000 worth of debt in 3 years. Dr. Renée and Nii created a plan. They focused on earning extra money outside of their main job as physicians, improving how they managed their income, and making money work for them - so that they would pay off their debt, build wealth and live life on their terms.
In this episode, Dr. Renée and Nii Darko discuss:
- How they accumulated $700,000 of debt and how they paid it off in 3 years
- Debt deferment & how their debt grew by $100k in interest alone in a few years
- How they became more intentional with their money
- Their IVF journey
- Designing a wealthy life on their terms
- How they implemented out-of-the-box side hustles like:

In this episode, Yamundow Camara discusses:
- Creative ways she acquired 28 doors in 2 years without overleveraging debt
- Investing in real estate as an immigrant while on OPT (Optional Practical Training) visa
- How to partner with banking institutions to support your real estate ambitions

- We can't really do anything about the job market, inflation, home prices, and things like that. But what we can do is focus on what we can control.
- It's very important, especially in times with so much uncertainty, to have a good handle on where our money goes.
- You can never go wrong with investing in yourself.
- In times of uncertainty, we are reminded how important it is to have more than one source of income.
- One thing we need to realize is the times that the stock market is down are the best times to just buy more.

In 3 years, she went from being in debt to increasing her net worth by $300k in her early thirties.

Dreamers' Wealth of Wisdom:
- A lot of people believe that they shouldn't have a budget because a budget is restrictive. But no—a budget, when used properly is liberating.
- The great thing about investing, especially investing in the stock market, is the time value of money. The sooner you start investing the better.
- Then you continue to invest consistently no matter what's going on—whether the stock market is up, whether the stock market is down, you continue to invest. And that is what is going to pay off over time instead of trying to find the right time to invest.
- We have to make sure that we have the money first before we start spending it.
- An emergency fund is a cushion that you have in case things happen, and things always happen. Honestly, life always happens. There's always gonna be an expense that you didn't plan for. They'll come and throw off your budget.
- Make sure that your investments are aligned not only with your philosophy but also to your comfort level as an investor.

This episode highlights five steps to overcome self-doubt to broaden your horizon and kicking self-doubt and procrastination to the curb:
- Be clear on your why
- Spend time with like-minded individuals who push you to do better
- Embrace the journey (and the process)
- Assess your progress and how far you've come often

- My ‘why’ is so much bigger than the roadblocks that are along the way.
- It's easy to compare yourself to people who are on a similar journey as you and who seem to be progressing faster. It's important to remind yourself and understand that what's for you is for you.

Dreamers' Wealth of Wisdom:

- In order to earn more money, it's important to master your first stream of income and then master the next one instead of trying to do everything at once.

Building wealth takes more than applying millionaire habits. It’s a long-term game that requires mindset changes.
After interviewing dozens of first-generation wealth builders, I've come to learn that in spite of their different stories, they had similarities. I identified some of the things many first-gen wealth-builders have in common and created a plan to help you improve your relationship with money.
In this episode, I’m sharing six steps to help you improve your relationship with money and write your own story no matter where you are in life right now.
It's never too late to rewrite your money story. Your story is yours - so own it. But remember to always listen to yourself and what you value.
In this episode, we discuss the importance of:
- Acknowledging your early experiences with money.
- Challenging what it is that you tell yourself and letting go of limiting beliefs
- Forgiving yourself
- Setting specific financial goals and creating a plan
- Being flexible and understanding that the plan may have to change over time

Dreamers' Wealth of Wisdom

We each have different visions and ideas about having a wealthy life. For some, it is living life. For most, building generational wealth is part of it.
We all desire to be financially independent so making the strategic decisions that align with the path to financial freedom can make or break our dreams. A great financial plan will enable you to save up, buy the things you want without the fear of being in debt, or achieve your long-term goals like early retirement.
Though achieving financial independence is not easy, owning your time seems like a well worth effort.
This week, we look back at previous episodes with guests who provided tips and knowledge on how you can kickstart your wealthy life.

This week’s episode is a short one, but it’s extremely personal. I recently received an inheritance, but I rarely talk about it for two reasons that I share in this episode.
Processing my emotions about that highlighted even more how important it is to talk about generational wealth. If I felt that kind of pressure about receiving an inheritance, I can only imagine how someone with less experience and awareness about money and personal finance would feel.
This is why educating the youth about financial literacy, especially in the Black community, has been part of my mission and will continue to be so. Wealth gives us more options in life. And regardless of your financial situation, you can still build your wealth for yourself and your family.

Most of us are familiar with the dread that comes with bills, debt, lifestyle creep, unexpected or unplanned expenses that keep us in a never-ending cycle of financial stress.
