It's a big deal for us that everybody finds the career that's best for them, and it's no secret that we're huge champions of entrepreneurship!

Testing the entrepreneurship waters makes it possible to try out all sorts of opportunities, from small local businesses to real estate, and you might just find the one that can set you up for life!

Today on the His & Her Money Show, we've got mom, wife, and real estate guru Erika Brown on the show! Erika is a no-excuses entrepreneur, and we love her story so much.

She wears a whole lot of hats, owning a property management company and a landscaping company, and she and her husband manage a diverse Atlanta real estate portfolio of 17 units. So, obviously, Erika knows exactly what she's talking about, and spreading some of her knowledge today!

Back in the day, Erika was working a bank job fresh out of college as a new mom. While she was there, she got curious about money and started putting together the patterns of the wealthy people she encountered. Something a lot of her bank customers had in common? Real estate! 

That's when the concept of real estate investment first came onto Erika's radar, and so when she and her husband decided to purchase their first income property, they were on a mission -- and it's safe to say it all turned out!

Today, Erika and her husband have grown an impressive real estate portfolio dealing in long-term rentals, Airbnbs, and more, and we can't wait for you to hear all about how they made it happen!

 

What You Will Learn

  • Beginner advice to breaking into the real estate industry.
  • How Erika and her husband started their real estate empire.
  • What is real estate investment as a whole?
  • Different ways Erika and her husband expanded their business.

As Christians, each and every one of us carries our faith differently.

The question is, how do we break free and be our authentic selves while being authentic in our faith? Well, keep listening and you might just find some answers!

Sometimes it can be a process, and thankfully, we've got people out here in the world who know just how to help us along!

We've said it before and we'll say it again: His & Her Money is more than just a financial podcast! We like to switch things up, so our guest speakers and podcasts cover a whole range of topics, and we hope to help guide our listeners through all aspects of life, from money to marriage to faith.

Like so many of you, we hold our faith close, and a big part of that is prayer. And even though it might sound strange, sometimes prayer can seem a little bit intimidating! If you've ever found yourself struggling, you're not alone -- and this episode just might help!

On this episode of the His & Her Money Show, we couldn't be any more excited to sit down with our guest of the hour! Pastor John  F. Hannah is a retired radio broadcaster of 13 years, Chicago native, acclaimed prayer warrior, and founder of the New Life Covenant Southeast ministry. 

On top of all that, he's just released a brand new book, Just Pray, highlighting the importance of divine communication and the pitfalls of prayerlessness. And today, he's breaking it down, and we hope you're ready to take some notes because John has a whole lot of golden nuggets to drop!

 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Learning and applying John's four steps to meaningful prayer
  • How we can learn to pray intentionally and unselfishly
  • The importance of honesty
  • Unlocking the true power of prayers

If there's one thing we like to let everybody know here at His & Her Money, it's this: you do NOT have to live with your debt! Now we know, sometimes it can seem overwhelming.

Over time, our debts can accumulate into numbers we don't even know what to do with, and paying it all off sounds almost impossible -- it might even seem easier to just look the other way.

But don't let the pressure get you down -- there's always hope!

On this episode of the His & Her Money Show, we're bringing you another debt payoff story that we can't wait for everybody to hear!

This time, we've got Rashad and Nirvanna Mahammad on to tell us all about their $85,000 debt, their journey to get rid of it, and how it all went down! Rashad and Nirvanna are living proof that you can do it too!

 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Working with the "reluctant spouse" and staying on the same page financially as a couple
  • How Rashad and Nirvanna decided to bust their $85,000 debt
  • Setting realistic money goals to keep you on track
  • Why you might want to start thinking about retirement sooner rather than later
