    Ivy Insights

    The Financially Savvy in 20 minutes podcast is a game-changer for anyone looking to improve their financial literacy. Hosted by Natalie, the podcast offers a wealth of information and insights that are both relatable and actionable. As someone who is just starting out on their financial literacy journey, I couldn't be more grateful to have come across this podcast.

    One of the best aspects of The Financially Savvy in 20 minutes podcast is Natalie's style and the informative nature of each episode. She brings on a diverse range of guests who share their experiences and expertise in various areas of finance. This variety keeps the episodes interesting and ensures that there is something for everyone. Natalie's ability to break down complex financial concepts into easily understandable tips and strategies is also commendable.

    As a Latina, I am particularly appreciative that Natalie uses her platform to shine a light on other Latina women in business and finance. It can be difficult to find someone in finance who I can relate to, so hearing from successful Latina women in this field is inspiring. It's encouraging to know that there are others like me who are navigating the world of finance and achieving success.

    In terms of drawbacks, it would be beneficial if the podcasts were longer. While they are meant to be quick and concise at 20 minutes or less, sometimes more time would allow for a deeper dive into certain topics or discussions with guests. However, this is a minor issue considering the quality of content provided within the time constraints.

    In conclusion, The Financially Savvy in 20 minutes podcast is a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their financial literacy. Natalie's realness, positivity, and relatability make each episode engaging and enjoyable. With her informative tips and insights from various guests, she provides valuable guidance on money management and investing that can be applied at different stages of life. Whether you have just started your financial literacy journey or are looking for new strategies to improve your finances, this podcast is a valuable resource.

    Margaret Mitchell is a master storyteller and speaker. Why? Because she believes in and invests in people. She is proof that it is never too late to create: your dream career, business, and life. 01:01 And I've always considered her a mentor. I just basically someone I want to be like when I grow up. She has has such an impact on not just my life now, not just my life, everyone that she's met. And I thought she'd be perfect to be part of this episode because often we think wealth is just monetary. 06:25 So that's one of the things I've been up to. Another thing I've been up to is participating in a class workshop for students at the Charles Drew School of Medicine and Science. And you know about that, Natalie because you also attended and chaired that one year. So that's another thing I've been doing. 10:06 So it's wonderful hearing, hearing what you've done. If before we end, is there one thing that you can talk about that maybe made you feel you not reinventing yourself, but just trying something new? Like I know your concept was people that who try something new are getting out of their comfort zone. As you said, you were an introvert. Is there something that maybe you can advise for people that are afraid to start something new or feel or that, you know, I hear 30-year-olds say they feel too old to start a whole new career? 13:28 MargetM.S.RG38@Hotmail.com back. Well, thank you very much Margaret again I don't know how many more times I can say thank you. We just really appreciate it So everyone, the show notes will have her contact information as well.
