Rachel Cruze (aka Dave Ramsey’s daughter) will help you become a millionaire.

Wait, no she won’t. But she will help you figure out how to be wise with your money and not get sucked into the financial traps of this culture we live in today.

She is also a really good friend of mine and we had WAY too much fun when I interviewed her for the podcast I almost launched but then put on pause to learn from the podcasting guru’s over at Relevant. Hop on over to that podcast if you want to hear me talk about ceramic cats while they talk about movies, music and culture.

But I didn’t want to let our interview go to waste, so, if you want to listen in to a whole lot of banter, laughter, games and some wisdom from Rachel Cruze, check out the video below. And if you want to see us together LIVE, come join us at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on November 1st at the SMART Conference!
