    I had lunch with Lady "Bird" Johnson: Diana Carlin shares her history, educating and researching on the First Ladies

    Diana Carlin has spent more than 40 years researching and educating about First Ladies and their role in U.S. history. Diana has found that they have played a crucial part in making history, whether by influencing laws that ultimately ended up passing, encouraging the president's campaign, or even going on to pass legislation on their own merit. Carlin also discovers through primary research that many of the First Ladies knew their role was to be a hostess, but many wanted to leave their own stamp on history because of their position to influence and create positive change. Carlin also talks about having tea with both Hillary Clinton and Lady "Bird" Johnson and talking about the impact First Ladies have had in history, as well as having a foreword and interview from Jill Biden in 2024.

    You're Broke Because You Don't Know This: Financial Advice from a $2 Billion Manager

    Oz Dayo grew up in an entrepreneurial family in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where building something of your own wasn't a dream; it was the family language. At 15, Oz moved across the globe to a small town in Kansas called Newton, trading everything familiar for a place he'd never seen. The American way of life hit him like cold air: the culture shock was total, and he had to learn an entire country from scratch. But one thing carried over from home: growing up, Dayo already knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur too. After graduating from the University of Kansas in 1996, Dayo ran into a wall. The job offers didn't come. What did come was clarity: business and economics were the work he wanted his life to be about. So he took the road in front of him. Dayo joined the U.S. Army and was assigned to an artillery unit, serving tours in Iraq, Kuwait, and other countries across the Middle East throughout the war on terror after 9/11. Eventually, he made it to the position he'd wanted all along: U.S. Army finance officer, where he managed more than a $2 billion budget for the Army. After 23 years of service, Dayo retired and finally built the thing the 15-year-old in Newton had promised himself: his own business, NSE Financial. Today, Dayo has a passion for educating people — especially the younger generation — on financial education, saving, and investing their hard-earned money before spending it on wants.
