Malcolm shares what inspired his interest in personal finance in the first place and dives into some of the milestones he’s achieved over the past two and a half years. He explains how he’s smashed his goals because of the mindset he has built from listening to guests on this podcast and others.

That mindset contributed to helping him crush over $90,000 of debt. Malcolm also explains why it’s important to him to make space to check in with his values every week to ensure he remains in alignment with his goals.

“You have to give yourself grace because things change; life events happen over time. But the things that are intrinsic to you, those things that are at your core, they will stand the test of time.” – Malcolm Hodge
