Zachary Rinkins is serious about money. He's been running a very popular financial blog for the past several years, and has positioned himself as one of the most respected financial bloggers in the black community. I love what Zachary is doing because he reflects a generation of young people who are interested in seeing themselves empowered through economic success.

Zachary's blog features interviews with respected figures in the black economic community, including Russell Simmons, Hill Harper, and others. He also provides meaningful advice on things that matter to all of us, like keeping a strong credit score, managing student loans, getting out of debt and starting a business. The next step in our civil rights struggle is to find a way to economic freedom and Zachary is a part of that process. The interview is below, enjoy!
