    S2|E5: So, what's in your wallet?

    You get the bag and fumble it, we get the bag and flip it and tumble it…aye! The Collective is back with our first ever guest; the one and only, Kojoh Atta! Kojoh is a Stanford Alum, a Crypto genius, and a Venture Capital mogul. We sit down with him this episode to talk about how we learned about personal finance skills (4:24), why its important for low-income people of color to talk about money (10:34), how to breakdown your paycheck (23:19), and how building generational wealth sometimes means not flexing on the gram (34:07).

    Challenge this week: Take one tiny step in your financial journey by creating a budget plan for something you want to save for! Whether it be sneakers, a flight, Christmas gifts, or some stock, use this week to create a plan to save up for something you want!

    On this episode: The pod discusses celebrating Eid (7:11) and the vaccine rollout campaigns addressing the hesitant population like Vax-a-Million, in hopes of a beautiful summer outside! (11:25) Just as we are facing more opportunities to be social, we discuss being intentional about tending to and growing your garden of relationships(19:29).

All of this and more!
