This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast, I chat with Jessica and Brandon Norwood, co-hosts of the Sugar Daddy Podcast, about their financial journey and advice for listeners on how to build wealth and achieve financial freedom. Jessica, a former teacher now in tech, and Brandon, a licensed financial planner, emphasize the importance of understanding one's financial background and having open conversations about money in relationships. They introduce their "DREAM framework" for financial planning, which includes diving into past financial experiences, reflecting on current behaviors, engaging in detailed goal-setting, and actively managing finances. Their insights provide a practical roadmap if you’re looking to take control of your finances, strengthen your financial partnership, or create a future of financial security and freedom.
In this episode Jessica and Brandon share:
- How couples can have honest discussions about their financial backgrounds, goals, and expectations to avoid conflicts and build a strong financial foundation together.
- That all individuals (especially women) should strive for financial security to ensure they have control over their future, even in unexpected situations.
- How Jessica transitioned from teaching to tech and significantly increased her income, showcasing the value of networking, skill-building, and strategic career changes.
- Why money is a tool, not the goal and why you should focus on what it enables you to do—whether it’s travel, more time with family, or financial freedom—and structure your financial decisions accordingly.
