  Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Ready Set Collaborate podcast with Wanda Pearson.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: It's your girl, wanda Pearson.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Here and today we're doing something a little different.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: It's just me, and I want to reflect on what I have been going through with this amazing journey and having this podcast.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: What I love about this is actually connecting with you, connecting with our guests.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: We had some incredible guests on here and I can't believe it's been over a year since I've been doing this podcast.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to come back and reflect on some of the episodes that we had.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: All of them are great episodes, but can you believe how many powerful conversations we've had, from entrepreneurs to authors?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: And I am an author and I want to tell you I am writing another book.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: My last book is God Scrapes Through the Fire, from Struggle to Triumph.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about that more and my next, fourth book is going to be about forgiveness.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: That's the thing that we struggle with and what I went through as far as my childhood growing up with abuse and thank God that got me out of that and to be able to do what I'm doing today.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: When someone tells you you're nothing, you're not going to be anything, you have to believe God is always with you, have trust and faith in God and know that he will pull you out of any situation.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: And me, as a little girl, I didn't have that confidence.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: But now, as you can see, I built that confidence for being on doing my podcast, writing three books.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: The last one is my book is God's Grace Through the Fire, from Struggle to Triumph.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: And my first book was Audacity to Shine, which was something that I said I would never write a book and I have to say that seeing Nicole Henderson call me and say God told her to call me to be part of that collaboration book.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I love the title Audacity to Shine.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: And then my next book, collaboration book, was actually the Impact of One Voice.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Aubrey Robinson had called me and asked me that I want to be part of that book.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Never Say Never.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And that's actually the title that I have in that book Impact of One Voice.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Never Say Never because God has a plan for you and God's plan for me was to write my own story, which is God's Great, through the Fire, from Struggle to Triumph, and now he's pushed me to do my fourth book.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Also, I'm excited to have been the top 20 author with the author all-stars with Tariya Avant.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful to do that.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be in it again on 25, 26.

• 4:25
  Speaker 2: From his military service to mastering credit and embracing accountability, his journey to financial freedom was inspiring.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: It was very inspiring because I didn't realize he was in the military, so he taught me a lot of things here.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Matt taught us that transforming our financial futures is not just about numbers.
