Inspired by a mentor to reach for more after starting MillennialMoneyMan.com and paying off his loans, Bobby Hoyt began a pursuit of all things personal finance. “My basic philosophy at M$M is simple: I'm going to teach you how to make more money, save more, and pay off debt… and make sure you have fun while you do it.” Through his work on Millennial Money Man, he hopes to help change the face of personal finance in Gen Y by challenging his readers to slay their debt, increase their income, and plan for their future. Since quitting his band director job after earning $3 in ad revenues (a tactic he doesn't recommend to students of his blogging courses) he has grown his blog to reach over 2 million readers each year. He's a regular personal finance columnist for the American Psychological Association, and has made appearances on major media outlets such as Forbes, CNBC, and MarketWatch. A firm believer in the importance of the side hustle (and an educator who values sharing his knowledge), he partnered with Mike Yanda to teach through multiple courses at Laptop Empires. Bobby lives in the Houston, Texas area with his wife Coral, their wonderfully strange dog Strider, and can usually be found on the golf course, or boating on some body of water when they aren't traveling. In this episode, Bobby speaks to: - What led to a major leap of faith and career change - How to build the your business so you can live a life you love - The importance of building a team to help you manage your business (or businesses) Follow Bobby Instagram: @genymoneyman Website: www.millennialmoneyman.com Follow Lauren: IG: @laurenzoeller Website: laurenzoeller.com Love?
