Like me, Troy is a former teacher—and it shows in the clear, actionable, and spot-on advice he and Rashad deliver in these pages. This book will be a great step to achieving the life you’ve always dreamed about.”—Tiffany Aliche, aka The “Budgetnista,” New York Times bestselling author of Get Good with Money“EYL has written more than just a financial guide—it’s a blueprint for breaking free from the systems that keep us broke and disempowered. They are giving us the jewels to take control of our money, invest wisely, and build generational wealth. A must read for anyone looking to level up financially and mentally. It’s food for your entrepreneurial spirit, but you have to do your own dishes.”—Charlamagne Tha God“Earn Your Leisure’s journey is a testament to the power of financial education. They remind us that being smart with money isn’t just for the wealthy—it’s for everyone!”—Steve Harvey“For centuries, Black communities have not had access to critical resources to achieve financial empowerment. At a time when the Black-white racial wealth gap in the United States stands at 13-to-1, we have to deliver these resources at scale to our communities. That’s why Troy and Rashad’s work with Earn Your Leisure is so essential. We have a real opportunity with this platform to drive transformative and sustainable change for Black and underserved communities.”—Robert F. Smith, founder, chairman and CEO, Vista Equity Partners“In a world where financial uncertainty seems to be the norm, understanding the rules of money—and the frameworks, the strategies, and the psychology behind successful investing—is a necessity. Earn Your Leisure has been at the forefront of democratizing financial education, and now, with this book, they’ve provided a blueprint for financial freedom. It’s a call to action, urging you to break away from traditional ways of thinking about money and embrace a mindset of abundance and opportunity. Approach this book with an open mind and a willingness to learn, and you’ll find yourself not just in the game but ahead of it.”—Ian Dunlap (aka “The Master Investor”), founder of Red Panda“Earn Your Leisure podcasters Bilal and Millings share their formula for accruing wealth… . Throughout, Bilal and Millings bring a welcome recognition of the financial hardships faced by Black individuals… . Buoyed by the authors’ can-do spirit (‘If you can see it, you can have it’), this stands out in the crowded field of personal finance guides.”—Publishers Weekly
