The past couple of weeks have been pretty emotional. I’m at a pivotal point in my financial journey and I reflect in this episode about what it’s like to pay off debt in a long debt-payoff journey and then adding entrepreneurship to the mix. I’m almost done with a huge part of my debt journey and it has been freaking hard.

   Great podcast episode. You’re not playing right now. 100% in agreement when you said that entrepreneurs need a digital product. I’m in the process of starting my second one!
