How much of your life, time, and money are you giving away to your phone and to social media apps? For the average person, it's two hours and twenty minutes each day. That's one waking day each week that goes towards your phone. In this week's episode we are diving into the world of social media. How it's impacting your time, mental well-being, and wallet and then also exploring how you can put boundaries in place with your scroll time while simultaneously breaking the scroll-to-spend cycle.

To breakdown this conversation I'm welcome Rachel Rodgers on the show, the Author of Future Millionaire: A Young Person's Step-by-Step Guide To Making Wealth Inevitable.

Rachel is an entrepreneur, investor, and founder of a multi-million dollar company called Hello Seven.

• how to instill a millionaire mindset in your child even from a very young age
• Rachel's realistic and doable three step process for building lasting wealth
• the biggest mistakes Rachel see's parents making that can hinder their child from becoming a millionaire

A 2024 study found that 21% of survey respondents have lost a friendship over money and 26% feel financially incompatible with their friends.

Needless to say, your friendships and money are more interconnected than you think.
