From Prison to Helping Kids Invest with Mark Pratt

Life can be filled with hard lessons, but the question is how will you use those times to shape your life and make a difference in the world? Our guest, Mark Pratt, is the perfect example of perseverance as he became an entrepreneur after spending six years, 11 months, and 28 days in prison.

We discuss how the experience revealed his purpose and what inspired him to write his first book, For A Friend. Mark also learned how creative he was while in prison and wrote spoken word poems. Since then, he realized his need for male role models as a kid is what led him to the path that he traveled. Tune in to hear Mark’s story and how he’s using all he learned to help the children of Detroit, Michigan, invest in their own communities through his business 205 Kids, LLC.

ICYMI: Money Tales: Money’s Everywhere with Dr. Felecia Froe

In this ICYMI conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Sandi Bragar and Cammie Doder on the Money Tales podcast to trace the money narrative that shaped her from childhood all the way to founding Money With Mission. She opens up about watching her mother stay in a domestic violence relationship for financial reasons, the credit card mistakes she made in medical school, and how she used the CASHFLOW 101 game to teach her own daughters about money years before most parents even start the conversation. Felecia also walks through the deal that changed everything: a patient named Jamie who challenged her to buy her first real estate property and removed all the risk in doing so.

Foundations #10: You’re Not Bad with Money

You’re not bad with money. In this Foundations episode, Dr. Felecia Froe speaks directly to every woman carrying the belief that she’s somehow failed at money, whether she’s avoided her finances for years, watched a high income never translate into confidence, or is still making sense of a setback that shook her trust in herself. Felecia reframes the whole story: what looks like carelessness is actually overwhelm, what looks like incapability is actually a lack of preparation, and what looks like personal failure is actually a systemic failure.

ICYMI: How to Invest When You’re Scared (Because Everyone Is) with Dr. Felecia Froe

Felecia Froe became a urologic surgeon after succeeding in medical school and urology residency. Somehow she knew this wasn’t the last thing she would ever do. Her mind as rewired about the idea of money after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kyosaki. In this ICYMI conversation with Mary Katherine Johnson of Planet Wealth, Felecia traces her path buying 18 properties in two years, losing nearly everything in the 2008 crash, and rebuilding into a social impact investor who’s now running sober living homes and fighting food deserts. She gets honest about the fear that doesn’t fully go away, even after decades of deals, the mindset shift from working for money to making money work for you, and why she believes no woman should ever feel financially stuck in a job or relationship.
