Interview with Chris Salchenberg

I really enjoyed the most recent one with Chris Salchenberg. He sounds like the type of worker and boss that I would like to be. He shines light on his own career in the trades and how that can serve as a great pathway for others. Great guest, thank you.

Friend of JA

I love listening to the Money JAR while I'm in the car. Even though I don't have kids yet, I find the information incredible helpful for my own life. I wish I would have had something like this when I was younger! The hosts are fun to listen to and the experts have a lot of great information to share. I would definitely recommend this to show to all of my friends!

Love The Money JAR

I love this episode. It is completely relevant to my life right now, so much that I'm going to sit down with my family tonight and talk about it. What great perspectives! I look forward to listening to more episodes of The Money Jar. Thrilled to have this type of resource so easily accessible.
