Jul 11, 2017

We're back with the podcast you need: Part 2 with Damon Young of VSB. If you haven't already, don't forget to listen to Part 1: PB60: “Overnight Success” ft. Damon Young of Very Smart Brothas. This episode is equally colorful but tackles more serious topics like life, health, and personal finance. Our discussions include:

• What it's like to have new money with old problems like being the first to make it while balancing staying #woke and authentic with #TheStruggle
• How not having enough money may have caused Damon to ignore a health scare for years that could have cost him his life
• The 15-year journey to become an "overnight success" and the book deal with Ecco (HarperCollins) that's changed his life forever
• The impact raising a child has had on Damon's views on finances, his upbringing, money, and what he plans to teach his daughter about money in the future
