Forming a Supportive Money Mastermind

SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Google Play | Android Apps

Welcome back to season 4! If you haven’t heard the news, Garrett is no longer co-host of Beyond The Dollar so if you’re new here and hear a male voice in previous episodes, now you know 😉

In this episode, I brought on my close friends and money mastermind group, Jackie Lam – an advocate for freelancers, Kate Dore, who is studying for her certified financial planner designation, and Taylor Milam, and English teacher who freelances on the side. We chat about how we met, how we became so open to talking about money (both in our business and personal lives), and what we feel others can do when looking for a support system around their finances.

What You Hear in This Episode:

  • How our humble little group started (it had nothing to do with our personal finances) and how we grew to be money BFFs
  • What topics we talk about and how we cultivated a supportive environment
  • Challenges that come with not having people around you to chat about money openly and honestly
  • Pros and cons of free and paid money masterminds
  • What Jackie, Kate and Taylor feel are the questions you need to ask when talking to others about money

Questions to Ponder:

  • What do you hope to get by talking openly and honestly about money with friends?
  • How and where will you seek these people out?
  • Are you wanting something more structured (like a formal mastermind or accountability group) or just looking for a safe space to talk about whatever comes up with your financial situation?
  • How will you make sure you enforce boundaries for all involved?
