BEST MONEY PODCAST EVER!!!

Hey Mandi and Tiffany,

I love, love, LOVE listening to you both on Brown Ambition. Been listening for the past year and half. As a 30-year Black woman, getting more serious about my finances, listening to you both has been refreshing and a learning experience.

I’ve taken all your tips and putting them into practice. I am still learning. I am also a fellow Dream Catcher Tiffany!! Thank you, thank you. Brown Ambition has been my life-saver. Keep doing what you ladies do! ✊🏿❤️
