Race, fatherhood & success with Maketa Born

Art of Money Podcast

Maketa is one of my favorite people — and I know you’ll see why, after listening to this Money Memoir with him. Maketa and his wife had a money “wake-up call” a few years ago. (Or, as I like to call it, a “money initiation.”) After what they thought was a prosperous year, they got their tax bill. (Dunh, dunh, dunh.) They had no idea they owed so much — and it wiped out their entire savings account, overnight. Sometimes, our biggest “failures” … open the most joyful doors. Maketa and his beautiful wife harnessed this hardship. They realized they needed to learn more about money. And it had to go deeper than numbers. All the way down into gender roles, their individual life stories, their definitions of success, and on and on. Show Notes: https://baritessler.com/12
