If you're the first or second in your family to do something—whether it's to graduate college, chart your path as the child of immigrants, work in your industry—you know how important financial independence is.

This Thursday, I'll be partnering with Paypal to host this free workshop on building financial independence, and the principles and tactics to grow your wealth. The event is free and open to everyone. You can register here and share with friends who would like to join.

Now, more than ever, it's important for those of us who are "firsts" to understand the principles and tools for building real wealth. By doing so, we can share this knowledge with our families and communities, create intergenerational wealth and more first and second generation millionaires.
