Today’s guest has been inspiring me since 2015.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to chat with Philip Taylor (or as you might know him as PT Money). PT is a certified public accountant, creator of FinCon, one of the top conferences personal finance bloggers, podcasters, and creatives, he’s the host of Masters of Money podcast, and blogger at PTMoney.com. PT is a really big deal in the financial world, so it was tons of fun chatting with him about his journey in life.

In this episode we talk about starting his blog in 2007, his strategy for starting FinCon in 2011 and how he used crowd-sourcing to grow the conference from 250 people to over 1,500 people (which is no small feat), sacrifices he made to pay off student loans and debt, the hilarious story of how he bought a car, realized it was too expensive and tried to take the car back, and towards the end he shares a very inspiring perspective on taking ownership of your life.

All this and so much more. Guys and gals, I’m stoked to introduce you to Philip Taylor, from PTMoney.com

#MONEYWIN

Kristin–  “Today I had a huge win by making the final payment on my HELOC. We started on 1/1 with a balance of $21,436 and with extra hours and cutting way back on expenses, we just knocked it out in less than 3 months. Whitney Hansen has helped tremendously through private money coaching the past several weeks and I can’t thank her enough! Still have a lot of work to do, but definitely feel $21k lighter today.” #MoneyWin
