Today, we have Sonia Castelan on the podcast. And we are excited to have her here to talk a little bit more about tax management, specifically for people who have businesses that don't have record-keeping or that have bookkeeping but don't know what they need to do to avoid Uncle Sam legally.
This is the person you need to be talking to, and if you don't know who she is, she is a first-generation Latinax Tax professional, and she is helping people of color. In short, she's a fantastic tax professional.

Going to college debt-free and graduating with money in your pocket with The Fin Lit Guy, Chris Corinthian | Ep. 36

Welcome everyone to the next episode of the BetterWallet podcast. As you guys know, the BetterWallet podcast is all about demystifying the topic of money and sharing powerful money stories from people who truly beat the odds and found financial success.

Today we have my guy on the line, Chris Corinthian. And he is one of the coolest guys I've ever met in Atlanta and my entire life. Chris is a speaker and a financial coach. He's the owner of the Fin Lit Guy online, where he helps students graduate debt-free with money in the bank, right?

Because a lot of people graduate with debt. Some people graduate debt free, which is the goal. And then he's taken another level beyond that where he wants to help people graduate debt-free with bread in the bank. Chris is also the author of the book everyone has been talking about, The Financial Literacy 101 for College Students, where he helps people find money, helps people budget money, and grows their money.
