    In today's episode, we talk to Michael Russell, who turned financial failure into a story of hope and resilience. Michael shares how he lost everything—his properties, business, and even his personal relationships—during the financial crisis. But that wasn’t the end of his story. Today, Michael runs a nonprofit that helps people avoid foreclosure and navigate financial hardship.

    About our guest:
    Michael Russell is the founder of Hope 4 Hardship and the President of Century 21 Signature Properties, one of the original CENTURY 21 franchises in the U.S. Once at the helm of a successful family real estate business, Michael’s excessive lifestyle led to financial ruin, including bankruptcies, foreclosures, and personal struggles. After nearly a decade of rebuilding, he transformed his life, achieving a near-perfect credit rating, redefining his career in real estate sales and consulting, and mending strained relationships. Today, Michael uses his hard-earned wisdom to help others navigate financial distress, avoid foreclosure, and remain in their homes.

    Through his nonprofit, Michael offers guidance to individuals facing similar challenges, with a mission to provide solutions without financial gain, relying solely on trust and a handshake. His expertise as a Certified Distressed Property Expert and Certified Short Sales and Foreclosures Resource has enabled him to support countless families in avoiding foreclosure or selling properties when necessary. With a focus on accountability and action, Michael has made it his purpose to pay it forward, turning his past struggles into a source of hope and change for others.

    We are joined by Jordan Berry, a laundromat business owner with nearly a decade of experience in the industry. Jordan shares his journey from being a pastor to venturing into the laundromat business. He shares his initial challenges with the first laundromat acquisition, including buying a fixer-upper that didn't meet the promised numbers. Jordan also talks about the importance of due diligence when acquiring laundromats, as they often have cash-based income, making valuation and verification critical. And while laundromats can relatively become passive, there are still responsibilities and problem-solving involved. Jordan highlights the flexibility in how laundromats can be run to align with your specific goals, whether it's creating more free time or generating significant income.

    About our guest:
    Jordan was a pastor for 15 years and transitioned out of full-time ministry into buying a laundromat. His experience buying his first laundromat was not a good one. Instead of replacing his salary, as he expected, his laundromat lost $2,000 dollars per month for well over a year. Desperate to find help to turn his business around, he frantically searched for someone to guide him to profitability. He found no rescue. After finally stopping the bleeding, he decided to share the hard-earned (and expensive) lessons he learned on a blog. And then on a YouTube channel. And then, on a quest to find out how the best laundromat owners operated their businesses, he started a podcast interviewing laundromat owners and other industry professionals. These platforms turned into Laundromat Resource, an education and community platform for laundromat owners and future laundromat owners to learn, share best practices, and connect with one another.

    In today's episode, I’m excited to introduce you to Vrinda Gupta, the founder of Sequin, a financial technology company that’s changing the game for women and minorities. Vrinda shares her incredible journey from working at Visa to creating a tool that empowers us to take control of our finances, break free from credit card debt, and build real wealth. We dive into how Sequin is making banking work for us, helping us stop the bleeding from high fees and interest rates, and why it’s so important to have financial tools designed with us in mind.

    About our guest:
    Vrinda Gupta is the CEO & Co-Founder of Sequin, the first debit card and banking in U.S. history designed by and for women and minorities. She is a globally recognized credit expert featured by Forbes, ABC7 News, and Fintech Magazine and has been named one of the top 10 women to watch in Fintech.

    Vrinda helped launch the popular Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card at Visa Inc. But, when she applied for the card she helped create, she was rejected.
    This inspired Vrinda to act. She quit her job at Visa to found Sequin, to recognize women's financial power and fight against the injustices that opposed it, including credit card debt and the Pink Tax.

    Money is power - and this proud first-generation Indian immigrant is on a mission to design a world where women have more of both.
