Mick Unplugged - Rachel Rodgers: Close the Wealth Gap-How I Built an 8-Figure Business
Episode Date: July 3, 2025Rachel Rodgers captivates with her remarkable journey from struggling attorney with a 400-level credit score to self-made millionaire and eight-figure business owner. Her transformation wasn't built o...n luck or privilege, but strategic risk-taking and unwavering belief in her capabilities. With refreshing candor, Rachel shares how seeing her staggering $300,000 student loan debt became a catalyst rather than a paralyzer. While her law school peers pursued traditional careers with modest starting salaries, she took the entrepreneurial path—launching her own practice that matched conventional salaries in year one and quadrupled them by year two. This exponential growth demonstrates her core philosophy: calculated risks often yield returns that conventional paths simply cannot match. What sets Rachel apart is her commitment to democratizing wealth creation. She describes herself as "the guinea pig" who tests pathways to prosperity, then creates systems to teach others—particularly women and marginalized communities—how to follow similar trajectories For business leaders, Rachel delivers another transformative insight: creating a company where you genuinely enjoy showing up is non-negotiable for sustainable growth. She advocates adjusting offers, marketing approaches, and systems to maintain enthusiasm while advancing core mission objectives—recognizing that leader burnout inevitably impacts client experiences.

My interests and my clients' interests are aligned.
So if I'm showing up and I hate some aspect of the business,
I cannot show up as my best for my clients,
and so therefore they're not getting the best of what we have to offer.
Welcome to Mick Unplugged,
the number one podcast for self-improvement,
leadership, and relentless growth.
No fluff, no filters,

Ready to break limits?
Let's go.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another exciting episode
of Mick Unplugged, and today we have the rock star,
rock stars, the guru of gurus, the leader of leaders.
She's transformed herself from a broke attorney
to a self-made millionaire who's passionate
about teaching women in marginalized communities
how to claim their financial power.
And more importantly, she's authored

We Should All Be Millionaires.
Her mission is simple,
to close the wealth gap permanently.
She's a bold voice in business,
a mother of four, a CEO.
Ladies and gentlemen, please join me
in welcoming a person I have looked up to for a long time.
She's fearless, she's a visionary, she is unapologetic.
We're talking.
I'm Ms. Rachel Rogers. Rachel, how are you doing today, dear?
Thank you for that intro.
Listen, I'm going to have to take you on the road with me.
I am available, especially in Puerto Rico.
I love it.
Rachel, how are you?
That's my first question.
Just how are you?
Yeah, I'm good.
I just came off of when that people don't,
I think mothers understand this, maybe dads too.
The end of the school year is so much.
Every day it's like today we're having,
wear white because we're doing some glow in the dark party.
Today you bring your special toy to school for show and tell.
This day is this special, but every day it's like, you gotta have a special t-shirt for this tell. This day is this special, but every day,
it's like you gotta have a special t-shirt for this one.
This day is pajama.
And like, we're holding on by a thread
to the end of the school year.
Please, can we just get this over with?
Please stop adding special things.
We are done.
We have nothing left to give.
So that's over.
We're officially in summertime now.
So I'm like, okay, we're easing into the summer. That's where we're at
right now. In my family, you know, and we're getting ready
for our big event. We do a big conference every year called our
why the millionaire summit. So those are the two big things
going on right now.
I love it. So both my sister and my sister in law are teachers.
Yeah, mothers. So what you were saying right now.
Yes.
I promise you.
Exactly.
Exactly.
It's just like, you know, we're not entrepreneurs in isolation, right?
We have kids to take care of.
We got parents to take care of.
We got neighbors to take care of.
Like all the things.
Yeah.
Doing it all, you know, and learning how to manage it all, right?
And also make sure you're making time for yourself as well.
So it's all a lot.
And so sometimes I just posted something yesterday
where I was like, school year me is like,
eat all those vegetables or you're going to bed early,
right?
Like all about that, you go eat these vegetables, right?
I will fight you over these vegetables.
And yesterday I found myself being like,
you want pretzels for dinner?
No problem.
You know what I mean?
Like, works for me. You know what I mean? Like, works for me.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, my sister gets in that mode of do whatever,
just let mommy sit right here in this little corner
and feel like she's not here.
Exactly.
Listen, sometimes it's about self-preservation, okay?
Right, absolutely.
Absolutely.
So Rachel, you know, again, I've been a huge follower of yours.
You've been an inspiration to me as a not just an entrepreneur, but also a leader. I've
always wanted to ask you and I ask all my guests this, but more importantly, you what
is your because what's that thing that's deeper than your why that really drives you to be?
These are my words and my words only, one of the biggest givers
in the world that I know.
What's your big cause?
Yeah.
Well, I think there are so many things to be mad about politically, socially, economically
in our society.
And that's never, hopefully it will change one day, but I feel like it is a constant.
So it's like, what is the thing to be mad about today, right?
What's the thing going on right now that we are not happy with that we want to change and so for me
I need to feel like an activist
I need to feel like I'm doing something to change that and
I do feel that real activism is not ranting on the internet about something that you're mad about although that could be part of it
But it's really like building a system, right?
To create to affect change.
And so that's what I see myself doing.
And that's what I get up to do every day.
So when I when I when terrible things happen, or when I'm upset about something, I'm like,
you're already doing something about this, you didn't wait for the next thing to be outraged
about to react to it. You're building
something that is going to change this slowly but surely over time. And that's what I want to do
with my life. And I really couldn't afford to be an activist because I have no money.
I got to be able to support myself. So I had to find a way to build a business that could be
mission driven and values aligned. So we have a mission that
we're accomplishing, but we can still turn a profit at the same time. And I can still
afford to pay my team and take care of my family and all of those things. And so building
that was very important to me. And that's the why. The why is almost like I don't take
no for an answer and I don't accept that it's not possible. Because people are like you know, people are like, well, you can't do it that way. That's not
possible. I'm like, who says have you tried? How do we know if we haven't tried? So I'm
like, okay, I have all these boxes I need to check. How can I make one thing do all
of these things? You know, be a great place to work, be a great business that, you know,
can be studied one day, you know, by Harvard Business School,
right? And still create, effect change in the world and make the world a better place,
you know, and still be a place that I want to show up to every day and actually want
to work, you know, work at. So those are all my boxes. And that's my, my ultimate why.
The other thing too, I will say, or ultimate because is I'm just sort of like the guinea
pig.
That's what I see myself as.
So I'm like, let me go do it so that I can show everybody that it can be done.
Right?
Like that you can go from low income, no resources, no professional network, no investment, no
nothing to building an eight figure business.
And right now we're moving towards building a nine figure business.
And I just want to create the pathway
to show that it can be done.
And then of course, I'm always teaching as I go, right?
So like, first I taught like how to build
a six figure business when I figured that out.
Then I taught how to build a seven figure business.
Now I have an eight figure business.
Now I'm teaching that to some of my clients
who are at seven figures and trying to grow it to eight.
And then I'll figure out how to get to nine and then I'll teach that too.
So that it's like, let me see if it could be done. I'll find out. I'm a go and find out. And then
if it can, and I mean on my own terms too, right? And then if it can, then I'm going to teach
everybody else how to do it. So that's really what, it's just kind of like,
let's just keep going.
Cause honestly, the nine figures,
I don't truly care that like about a hundred million dollars.
Right? I have enough money to be comfortable at this point.
It's just like, it's the can it be done
that is exciting to me, right?
And sort of showing people that it can so that we can stop
saying to ourselves we can't, or we have these limitations, or it's not possible. Like if I'm
the evidence, then we can no longer say that, you know? So that's the reason to show that a black
woman who grew up poor can bootstrap a business all the way to nine figures. I love it. We're going
to get to that growing up poor part in a minute
cause you have a deep story that I need the world to know
and understand.
But I wanna hit on something that you said a little bit ago.
Having a company where you enjoy showing up.
Yes.
I think most leaders and CEOs don't understand
the importance of that because, you know,
I have clients that when I go on site with them,
I see it in their face.
They dread opening the door.
And I'm like, well, hold on.
If this is how you feel, and you're at the top,
how do you think your employees and other leaders feel?
And I can promise you, and this is what I tell my clients,
the biggest reason that you can't scale
is because you don't even wanna be there.
Correct. And so if you don't wanna be there with a smile on your face and energy to innovate in a mission to impact
How in the heck do you think your team feels when they have to walk into that same environment that oh by the way you create?
Yes
Exactly. I do not believe in creating like basically building a business or leading a business is like, you know, creating a job that you hate. And I'm like, no, thank you.
Right. So if there's something that I, what I believe is that my interests and my client's
interests are aligned. Right. So if I'm showing up and I hate some aspect of the business,
I cannot show up as my best for my clients. And so therefore they're not getting the best
of what we have to offer.
So I'd rather change the offer, alter the marketing,
change the system, change something
so that we can serve them in a way
and at our highest and best.
And I can show up with my most excited,
most enthusiastic energy, right?
To deliver to them at a high level.
So if something starts killing my vibe,
I'm like, okay, get rid of that
and let's do it a different way.
Because what's the constant is the mission, right?
It's like, how can we help to close this wealth gap, right?
As long as we are marching towards that,
we're doing what we need to do,
the structure of how we do it is gonna change
because the market changes, the industry changes,
times change, so we have to be nimble,
but we're always still marching towards the same goal.
So I listen, I say, listen, find your enthusiasm some way.
So if it's something got to be killed, kill it.
If you need to maybe sometimes too is not letting go.
You might see this too with your leaders, right?
You're doing things that is like, five years ago, you should have been doing and was doing.
But now this version of you needs to be onto these other things. You need to let that go
and let the leaders you hired do it or let the team you hired do it. So sometimes that's
what's killing your vibe is you're doing old work that you need to let go of and trust
somebody else to do. So yeah, I think you have to show up to work with enthusiasm. Otherwise,
you know, it's like, it's all downhill from there if you don't like it.
You know what I mean?
Absolutely.
If you can't have the best places to work for yourself,
like don't expect anybody else.
Yes, there's only so much discipline
that exists in the world, okay?
You know what I mean?
Like you gotta get this kid to eat their vegetables,
right, at night.
So it's like, you can't be fighting everywhere.
You know what I mean?
Like somewhere gotta be easy.
And the place that you have to be eight hours a day,
that should be fun for you in some way.
Like, are we gonna love every second of it?
No, but I feel like 80% of the work I do, I love.
And it's like 100% in my zone of genius.
And then there's like the 20%,
and you might even be down to 10% at this point,
cause I have such a great leadership team,
but like the 10% that I have to do that I don't enjoy, it's okay because the 80 or 90% is so much
fun that that little bit I can power through, right? But you can't power through 100% of
it. That sounds terrible.
All right, Rachel. We're going to talk a little bit about the beginning, the adult beginning
of Rachel, right? And we're going to bust a myth here really quick,
because most people assume attorneys are wealthy, highest credit core individuals.
But Miss Rachel Rogers at one point had a I'm going to say this number out loud.
And I got a say A 400 credit score.
It might've been like 450 or something like,
it was like in the 400s.
I don't remember that,
but like not even the high 400s.
The first digit was a four.
Correct.
Some people don't even know it could go that low.
Some people don't understand like,
you can't really have a real bank account with a 400-something
credit score, and you're an attorney.
Correct.
So walk us through the moment that you realize, all right, that's enough.
Yeah.
One thing has to change, but then more importantly, the action and energy that you put behind making
that change.
Yeah.
So it was like, it's a slow process, right?
Sometimes we think, okay, it's like something that clicks that either changes everything
for the better or changes everything for the worse.
Sometimes that happens, but a lot of times it could be an erosion.
So I didn't trust that I was good with money as part of this. And then I was
in law school, you weren't allowed to have a job, even a part-time one, except in the
summer. And so you had to get not only your law school tuition, but also your living expenses.
If you didn't live with your parents or you didn't have somebody to foot the bill, which
I absolutely did not, then you got to borrow not only your tuition, but also your living expenses for those three years of law school. So that was expensive, right? And I'm trying
to maintain and slowly but surely, especially in my last year, I just got so overwhelmed
with all the things that I was doing to set myself up for my career and all the studying
and keeping up with classes and what have you, that I remember there was a credit card that I was trying to keep up
with and I forgot.
I literally forgot about one payment and it tanked my credit score.
And then once I saw the result of just that one payment that I was late on, I just kind
of gave up.
I was just like, forget it.
This just can't be what I worry about right now. My credit's going to be terrible. It is what
it is. I just need to stay focused and finish law school. And so that's what I did. Then
at the end of law school, they put you in a room and they have you there with all the
other, not everybody, they take small groups at a time. Because they're expecting traumatized reactions,
so they don't want to have everybody in there.
So they take a small group at a time,
probably based on your last name,
like the first letter of your last name, whatever.
And they're like, we'd like to print out for you
all of your student loans
that you're about to leave this place with.
Yeah.
Because it's not just law school, undergrad as well.
They get it all on one page.
And they hand you that page that
you didn't want because you didn't want to know, you know, and you see that big number,
which is a larger number than you've ever seen in your life. You know, I think I had
like 300,000 some odd dollars in total debt. And I was like, yes palpitations. Yes, exactly. Where I just like, I was like, what now?
So yeah, so you see that number and it's absolutely terrifying. And they're basically like this, how
much you're in the hole. And then also they just, you know, wish you luck, right? Like they don't
really give you much advice, you know, or tell you what to do is basically like, listen, I hope you have a job
because you need to get started with this number. Start cracking away. So anyway, so I saw that
number and I was like, my God. And that's what kind of got me refocused on my finances because
I had abandoned it during my, I think it was my last year of law school. And so I was like, okay,
I'm going to make a list of every debt that I have, the student loans and everything else.
I'm going to put it all into Mint at the time was like the software.
It was all, it was brand new.
And I was like, I'm going to put everything in and just see where, where I'm at.
And then it showed me my net worth, which was negative multiple six figures, you know,
with the student loans, couple credit cards, you know, whatever else.
And I was like, so I was like, why did I do this?
Why did I calculate this net worth?
But I'm glad I did it because it motivated me.
And I was like, okay, we got to solve this problem.
What am I going to do?
Right.
And so I had a clerkship with a judge for a year and it was not, you know, you don't
make a lot of money doing a clerkship, but you get a lot of connections. There's a lot of opportunity that comes from that.
So I was like, okay, I'm going to do my clerkship and I'm, I got to get a good job, you know?
And this was during the 2008 recession that I graduated because, you know, perfect timing.
So I'm going through looking for jobs, applying for jobs and trying all of the things and
looking for jobs, applying for jobs and trying all of the things. And all the jobs are like, we'll pay you 65. We've got $70,000 a year for you. Or there was one that was even less than that.
There was one job at a small law firm that would pay more, closer to 100,000. But the partner was
awful. She was in my courtroom all the time and she was a nightmare. And I was like, I can't do it, not even for the money. You know what I mean? And so I was
like, you know what, I don't love any of these options. So I'm gonna create an option for
myself and I'm going to go solo and start my own practice. And my mother was like, you're
going to do what now? She was like, wait, you never take one of these jobs. And I'm
like, no, mom. And I know she was like, my God, I'm sure she was praying like, please Lord, knock some sense into this child. But
I started my own practice. And the first year I made like $65,000, which I replaced my first
year salary, like my salary as a clerk was $41,000 a year and good health insurance.
So I was like, if I could just replace that, like, let's start there. That's a win. I did it the first year.
Then the second year, I made like $300,000.
And so I was like, oh, I'm onto something.
And then even with the 65,000, I knew I was just scratching the surface.
I knew there was so much more opportunity.
I could see the pathway.
But yes, but seeing that debt, I think sometimes just facing what you have to do.
Cause you know, I think sometimes we fantasize like, okay,
student loans are gonna get forgiven
or someone's gonna come and save me
or something's gonna happen.
And you just have to recognize you are the,
you're your own hero, okay?
You the one that gotta come save the day for yourself.
So what are you gonna do?
You know, and when you recognize, okay,
I have no other options but to roll up my sleeves
and make it happen, you figure out a way to do it.
And so I took the risk of starting my own practice
and that is where my wealth came from.
And you know, within two years, I was making in a year
what my total student loan debt was, right?
So it was like, okay, this was worth it, right?
And quickly, so it was risky,
because I could have gotten more money in the first year, right? But I never would have gotten
to $300,000 in two years, right? It would have taken me many years as a, you know, becoming a
part in 10, 12 years, at least to get to that level of salary as an attorney. So it was 100%
worth the risk. And of course, it's only gone up from there.
But yeah, but sometimes building wealth
comes from taking those risks and saying,
what calculated and strategic risk I'm going to take?
And if you're going to take a risk of going
and being an entrepreneur, then am I
willing to show up and do the work to make it happen?
Is the question to ask yourself.
Wholeheartedly agree.
And one of the takeaways I've got from you,
again, following you for so long,
being a fellow entrepreneur,
there's this saying that I always bet on myself.
Yes.
And I don't like that saying, right?
Because you don't bet, it's a bet, right?
Like sometimes you win, sometimes you don't,
but the house always wins.
Yeah.
What I like to say Rachel Rogers did was she
believed in herself and she invested in herself. It wasn't a bet, it was a belief in an investment.
And I know that that's something that you also teach, leading into what you do now, which is
not just inspiring, but helping others, right? Females and marginalized communities
see that these things are possible, but not just see it.
Here's the action that you actually need to take
to get there.
And so I applaud you for that.
For that belief and investment in you,
because I think that's the initial catalyst
that everyone needs to have.
If you don't believe in yourself
and you're not willing to invest in yourself,
you're probably gonna be where you you are waiting and hoping for luck or someone else to come
rescue you.
Exactly.
And that's just, you know, some people feel like making the investment in yourself and
taking a risk like that is, you know, very scary, you know, and like, oh, that's a big
risk.
But the opposite is a big risk too, right?
Like you could work at a job that you could even love and be laid off one day, right? There's no guarantee.
So we have to be the owners of our own story and decide what are we going to do to ensure
that we win regardless, you know? And I think that's important. And one of the best things
that came out of entrepreneurship is I know how to build a business now. So if something
happens in my industry and I can no longer do the work that I'm doing,
I'll just go start another business.
The foundation of all businesses are the same.
Doesn't matter what it is, the foundations are the same.
And that creates a lot of job security, financial security,
knowing that you have the ability to go build wealth
and make money with your own skills.
You don't need a gatekeeper to say yes to you
in order to do it.
That is the ultimate financial and job security to me.
Absolutely, absolutely.
So again, Rach, I could talk about your accolades forever.
I could talk about the wisdom that you impart forever.
One of the things that I think is critically important
for our viewers and listeners
is something that you have a program for that
you talk about. It's, hey, you can make $10,000 in 10 days. There's a way to do that. So I'd
love for you to talk to the viewers and listeners about that because I think a lot of people
are in a place where it's like, I don't know what to do. I don't know how to do it. You
start thinking about seven, eight, nine figures.
Well, you got to start with the first $100 first.
Right.
Exactly.
Yes.
So tell us about $10,000 in 10 days and more of the principle
and theories behind that.
Yes.
So when I was writing my book, We Should All Be Millionaires,
I came to the last chapter and I was like,
how do I want to close this out?
And I'm like, wouldn't it be great
if they just put all of the lessons
that I just shared with them into action right now?
Cause I like action.
I don't want to just, I don't wanna sit here
and have somebody receive a lecture or be inspired
but not use that inspiration to go act, right?
Because the action is what creates the result.
And so I'm like, how can I inspire them to act?
And so I had this idea for a 10K in 10 days challenge.
But I didn't want to put it in the book without testing it.
So I had my own membership community at the time
with over a thousand clients in there.
And I said, okay, guess what, y'all,
this month we're gonna do a 10K in 10 days challenge.
Here's how it's gonna work.
And I'm gonna teach you how to make $10,000 in 10 days challenge. Here's how it's going to work. You know, and I'm going to teach you how
to make $10,000 in 10 days. I'm going to we're going to have a
week of prep where I'm going to teach you like what things to
put in place is only a few things you don't need a website,
you don't need business cards, you don't need all these fancy
things, you just need some key basic things. And then we're
going to do the 10 days, right? It's going to be a 10 day
container. And then from that time period, you just go, go, go and sell, sell, sell and do everything that you can
to make that money come in and get those clients. Right. And then at the end, we're going to
debrief and say, okay, how did we do? Right. And what did we learn? And so we did the 10
K and 10 days challenge with our community for the first time. And, you know, afterwards,
we did a survey to everybody to say, like, how did you do what happened? And then we, you know, collated all of that information together. And the person on my team who was
gathering all that info, I said, Hey, just add up all the results that people said they got,
you know, just like add it all up to see where we got as a community. And as a community in that
first one, it was like $3 million, I believe.
Something like that.
Because we did one that was 2.3 million and then we did another one that was 3.2.
And I can't remember which one it was, but it was millions of dollars that we had created
as a community in 10 days.
Marginalized entrepreneurs who didn't think that they could make money quickly like this.
And it was just a game changer.
So I laid it all out and put that in the chapter of the
book. That's where it came from. And so we're literally doing a 10K in 10 days challenge right
now in my mastermind for the month of June when we're recording this. And so we just finished
prep week. And so the prep is like, okay, what's an offer? It could be as simple as pick my brain,
right? You can hire me for an hour of my time and I'll answer any questions you have or help you
strategize something that you're an expert on, right? It could
be that. It could be, you know, sell the stuff in your garage, right? It could be collect
on money that people owe you, like your cousin and an old client or whatever, right? It's
like, what money is available to you? What doors are open? What possibilities are there?
What ideas do you have? And how can we take that and turn it into an offer right now?
Right?
So it's like you come up with an offer.
And then I've had literally someone make thousands of dollars selling yarn.
She had yarn in her house.
She was like a crafter, and she sold like patterns and all kinds of things like that.
But she had a whole bunch of supply of yarn.
She sold her yarn supply and made thousands of dollars.
And so it's like,
there is money lying around literally, right here that you can access if you need it. And
that's the point is to teach people that is there. So come up with an offer that we come
up with, like, what is your strategy to reach people? How are you going to reach people?
How are you going to talk to people who might want to buy this thing? And so we have that
conversation and teach them like some marketing strategies that are quick and easy to generate sales quickly and get you on the phone and get you in front
of clients.
And that's literally it.
You need the offer, you need the marketing strategy, and you need the willingness to
just be tenacious for 10 days.
And it is amazing the results that have come out of this.
And the biggest result, like the $10,000 is amazing, which people have made
and people have exceeded that. We've had people make 25,000, 100,000 in 10 days.
10 days people, not a year, we're talking 10 days.
Not even 10 business days. It's like five days a weekend and a couple more days. You
know what I mean? So 10 actual straight days, they get these kinds of results.
And the real result is they realize, oh, now I know how to make money.
Now I know what it takes to generate sales.
Now I know this is the kind of energy that I was in for 10 days.
That's the kind of energy I need to show up to my business with or my career with every
day.
Right? And so that's the kind of energy I need to show up to buy business with or my career with every day, right? And so that's the ultimate lesson.
And to show people that like you can make money whenever you want to, you have that
power.
I think we give our power away or we're convinced by society that making money is hard, that
we can only make it under these conditions with these gatekeepers giving us permission
to do so, et cetera.
And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, you can make money whenever you want to.
And when you know that, you just, again,
feel that job security.
Because even if you have a full-time job,
if you're like, I need a little extra money
for something important,
you just go do a little side hustle for a little while,
make that little extra money,
do a 10K in 10 days challenge for yourself,
make that extra money,
and you feel so empowered
that you can change your situation whenever you need to.
Well, here's what I'm gonna do
because that is so impactful, Rachel.
So I'm going to do two things.
One, when this drops, the first five people that message me millionaire.
I'm going to give you a copy of the book, right?
We should all be millionaires.
I'm going to give you a copy of that book.
Also, if you attend any of my lead out loud series events,
so post recording, we'll have one in August, one in November,
everyone who attends will also get a copy of this book.
So Rachel, I'm going to go purchase a bunch of books.
Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. I love that.
But then you also have a new book coming out.
I do.
Future Billionaires.
So a copy of mine and my mentor, Damon John,
like Financial Literacy at a Young Age. millionaires. So a passage of mine and my mentor, Damon John, like financial literacy
at a young age. And I know that the audience for this book is young people, but I will
also tell older people, a lot of the principles that are in this book are going to apply to
you as well too.
It's true.
So in 60 seconds, Rachel, like what's future millionaire about?
What can people expect out of that book?
Yes, I really wrote this book for Gen Z.
So anyone from 13 to 27 years old, and right now because of student loans,
because of inflation, because of the housing crisis,
the American dream is no longer available to them, right?
They can't just go to college, get a good job, buy a house,
like that's not a thing anymore.
And so they need a new pathway.
And if they don't have a new pathway,
like for all the people listening,
those kids will be in your basement, on your couch,
in your guest bedroom forever, okay?
Eventually you would like them to leave, I'm sure.
So they need a new plan that will actually work today
and Future Millionaire gives them that plan.
I love that.
So when does it release?
It's already released.
It came out.
Yes, it came out earlier this month.
So it is out in the world and young people are reading it.
And I've just been so excited to meet so many young hustlers who are like, listen, I'm ready.
What do I need to do?
Just give me the blueprint.
And so now they have the blueprint.
And so I'm really excited because I want them to feel empowered as well.
And just because the economy is doing what it's doing doesn't mean there's not
moves to be made.
And so this will tell them exactly what moves to make.
The mindset shifts, right?
The strategies that are going to help them build wealth from where they're at right
now.
Love it. So here's what I'm also going to do now.
Everybody that messages me, future millionaire, not everybody, the first 20 people, I'm going to send that book to you so that you can either have for
yourself or a child, niece, nephew, whoever you want to have that book.
Because I believe in financial literacy so much, especially younger people, I'm going
to get 20 copies of that book and hand that out.
And then also I'll have those available at the Lead Dial series
events as well too. So thank you so much, Mick. I really appreciate it. I'll give you my credit
card number in three seconds. How about that? So Rachel, where can everyone find and follow you?
Yes. So you can check out my company, Hello7, at hello7.co. Listen to the Hello7 Podcast,

Instagram.
I love it. Rachel, this was truly an honor. It was a blessing. There's so many places
we could have gone so much insight that you have. We might have to do this one again.
Yes, definitely. We can always do it again. I'm down.
