The Purpose of Money Podcast

I'm so excited to introduce a brand new series on The Purpose of Money Podcast.  Millennial Wealth Builders by Danielle Desir (the host of The Thought Card Podcast) and Acquania Escarne is a 12-part audio docuseries highlighting practical strategies millennial women of color are using to build wealth. Our mission is to spark dialogues that will normalize wealth-building conversations amongst women of color. ⁣ This production is made possible by the Plutus Foundation Fall 2020 Grant. Read more about the grant here.  The first episode of the Millennial Wealth Builders (MWB) Series drops on November 1, 2020.

Our goal is to empower our listeners to take action, obtain wealth, and close the wealth gap. Rather than establish a new podcast, we are taking advantage of our existing engaged podcast audiences. The Thought Card Podcast and The Purpose of Money Podcast will syndicate the docuseries on the first of each month starting November 1, 2020.⁣ ⁣ Subscribe to The Purpose of Money so you never miss an episode.
