Thomas Jr., a financial empathy expert and lecturer at the University of Georgia, who is changing the way we think about money and wealth. As an Accredited Financial Counselor\u00ae (AFC\u00ae), Dr. Thomas\u2019s work emphasizes the importance of empathy, self-compassion, and active listening in financial counseling and planning. We explore his unique philosophy that the journey to financial health is deeply relational\u2014not just about personal gain but about shouldering each other\u2019s burdens and celebrating each other&#8217;s successes.<\/p><p>Dr. Thomas shares insights from his book,\u00a0<em>Black Financial Culture: Building Wealth from the Inside Out<\/em>, and we dive into the impact of brain function on financial behavior and the essential role of data visualization in helping individuals see their financial paths more clearly. Dr. Thomas\u2019s message is clear: we don\u2019t all start or end at the same place, and it&#8217;s about recognizing our shared struggles and learning how to thrive collectively.<\/p><p><strong>Show Notes:<\/strong><br \/>02:41 A Glimpse Into Michael&#8217;s Keynote Speech <br \/>07:21 It&#8217;s Not You, It&#8217;s the System <br \/>12:22 Digging into Michael&#8217;s book &#8220;Black Financial Culture&#8221;<br \/>17:58 Unpacking cultural norms<br \/>22:18 The importance of genuine connection <br \/>27:13 Why the AFCPE Symposium is a constant <br \/>29:58 Michael&#8217;s 2 Cents<\/p><p><strong>Show Note Links:<\/strong><br \/>LinkedIn https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/moneyandwellness\/<br \/>Twitter @Modomsolutions<br \/>Instagram @modomsolutions<br \/>Tik Tok @modomsolutions<\/p><p>Want to get involved with AFCPE\u00ae?<br \/>Here are a few places to start:<\/p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.afcpe.org\/membership\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\" data-feathr-link-aids=\"5d7a72d2d3708ff60b15b280\">Become a Member<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.afcpe.org\/education\/\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\" data-feathr-link-aids=\"5d7a72d2d3708ff60b15b280\">Sign up for an Essentials Course<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.afcpe.org\/certification\/afc\/\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\" data-feathr-link-aids=\"5d7a72d2d3708ff60b15b280\"> Get AFC Certified today!<\/a><\/li><\/ul><p>Want to support the podcast?
