    In this episode, we’re talking about our "Debt Disaster" with debt elimination expert and financial coach Jade Warshaw.

    Our national debt is in the trillions, student loan debt is in the trillions, and the majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Sadly, it’s keeping the next generation from flourishing—from getting married, having families, and living out their dreams.
