How to Achieve Your Financial Freedom
(Black Enterprise) — In his new book, Living in the Village: Build Your Financial Future and Strengthen Your Community (St. Martin’s Griffin; $14.99), Ryan Mack, president and founder of Optimum Capital Management, discusses how to gain freedom from the weight of poor financial choices that often plague not only individuals but also communities. Mack proposes that since, like the African proverb, it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to build a strong community. Mack says “village members” can become strong through financial literacy. Consequently, they will have the freedom to give back to the community and pass on their knowledge and newfound wealth. Mack sat down with Black Enterprise to discuss financial empowerment and achieving freedom in your finances.
