354: Rachel Rodgers Teaches Us Why We Should All Be Millionaires REWIND
This week I’m sitting down with Rachel Rodgers. Rachel is the creator of the Hello Seven brand and the founder of We Should All Be Millionaires: The Club. Her book, We Should All Be Millionaires is a woman’s guide to earning more, building wealth, and gaining economic power.
After law school, Rachel decided to put her degree to use and started offering her lawyer services to small businesses. Like most side hustlers, she then reevaluated if that work was truly fulfilling and realized she could be doing so much more. Then Hello Seven was born.
Today, Rachel teaches diverse women how to grow an asset that will last beyond them and how to scale their own business to seven figures.
In episode 354, Rachel shares:
Why we must confront the stories we tell ourselves about money
How she pivoted from a legal services business to business coaching
Rachel even puts me in the hot seat and forces me to confront how I’m restricting my own growth as a business owner! You don’t want to miss this one

Customer Reviews
What!?! Great!
OMG!, great content!!
Can we be friends?, I really need you and your mind. So she has a shaky voice, who cares!?! Her voice is unique and great, content is impeccable and delivery is perfect!!
Love it completely!!
love it
Love to hear women of color share their voice. and speak truth to power!
The Content Vs. Voice Quality
I really wish I could get past her shaky voice/sound quality because her content seems really good, but her voice sounds really breathy and shaky.
I have a hard time wanting to deal with this because I have podcasts that I LOVE.
I hope that she takes a look at this but I can’t say that I would recommend this one at this point because the quality is sub par. I’ve just listened to her 2 most recent episodes. One was with Nicaila on her own and I called it quits not even 10 minutes into it. Then I listened to the “Go-To Merchandisers” hoping that either she had a cold or the quality would be better…it’s not good but her interviewing and content was great and the guests sound quality was great. I’m just so confused because I really do want to love it butI’m annoyed :/
