Welcome back to the Financial Conversation Podcast!
This is a very special episode as we discussed a topic everyone can probably relate to: working toward achieving financial wellness.
We were also joined by a special guest, Jason Vitug, from the personal finance website Phroogal, to help spread awareness about this topic and share his story.
Jason is a world traveler, author, blogger, speaker, and most recently, he’s decided to travel around the country this summer visiting major cities in each state to host events for a local grassroots experiment he calls, The Road to Financial Wellness.
We were pleasantly surprised when we heard about Jason’s plan to visit every major city in the nation in just 3 months and encourage a national conversation on financial well being. We’ll discuss all of that and more in this exciting episode!
