What if building wealth starts before you ever have the wealth to build?
In Ep. No. 0027 of The GR8TNESS Router, Zena C. sits down with financial planner, educator, and Brands + Bands Strategy Group founder Nadia C. Vanderhall for a candid conversation about money, entrepreneurship, resilience—and learning how to work with what is already in your hands.
After experiencing a layoff during the 2008 recession, Nadia began examining not only what she knew about financial services, but what she understood about money for herself. That journey eventually became the foundation for work centered on making financial education practical, culturally relevant, and accessible.
Together, they unpack the financial stories we inherit, why small habits can create meaningful change, the difference between consuming financial information and actually understanding your money, and Nadia’s belief that the wallet you have today has to be prepared for the wealth you envision tomorrow. Because whether the goal is saving, investing, building a business, or simply making better decisions, progress doesn’t have to happen all at once. Sometimes, it’s built bit by bit.
