About the author
We have two authors: Brennan & Leandra. Here is a warm introduction from both of us:
Brennan:
My name is Brennan, and I am a 29 year old CPA living in Northern Kentucky / Greater Cincinnati area.
I am married to a wonderful wife, Erin, with two dogs and our first daughter just arrived!! Her name is Logan Lee Schlagbaum. She may not know it yet, but this course will be a requirement in our household once she is old enough! If I would have taken this course at your age, I would be 1,000x further than I am today, but I didn't. This is why I want to help you take advantage of what I did not.
I want to begin with a quote that really encompasses everything that I am about & the mission that Budgetdog has behind it:
"Life is about making an impact, not making an income." - Kevin Kruse
If you love:
Personal finance
Entrepreneurship
Fitness
You will love my daily free content that I put out!
Over the past 2 years, I've been able to build my own online business while working a very demanding full time job.
It has allowed me to quit my "9-5" and do what I love to do…help others:
- Improve their finances
- Build their own businesses
- Improve their lifestyle
- Gain control of their situation
You don't have to stay where you are.
I am helping people daily achieve the financial freedom that they have always wanted.
The mission is big, and we are just getting started!
I look forward to getting to know you. Feel free to DM me! I welcome it!
Leandra:
I'm Leandra, founder of Female in Finance. I'm from San Diego, California, which means I don't own a jacket.
You may have found me on Instagram, or maybe your parents bought you this course, or maybe you saw me out surfing and asked for my number but I gave you my website instead. The hustle never sleeps.
I founded Female in Finance in 2020 because I noticed that people were being crushed from the global pandemic and – in a lot of ways – realized that they needed help for the first time.
We created this course to help teens, young adults, and immigrants level up their personal finance game, crush their debt, build a side hustle, and invest in the stock market.
How I got here –
I studied finance, marketing, and astrophysics in school. I wanted to be a mathematician for NASA, but finally realized that my gift for numbers could be used to help people that live on this planet instead.
Now, I work in corporate finance, teach personal finance, sleep finance, and eat finance (gluten-free).
Although astrophysics taught me that astrology isn't real (a valuable lesson!), marketing and finance launched me to where I am right here, right now – to be in a position to meet (and help) you.
By helping you, I'm doing exactly what I want to be doing in this lifetime:
Helping you achieve your goals.
