This book, a comprehensive guide to personal finance and wealth building, covers budgeting, investing, and how to overcome financial obstacles.
The event was hosted at the Brooklyn Bank in NYC by radio personality, Angela Yee, kicking off the five-city book tour aimed at empowering individuals with essential financial knowledge.
Throughout the night, the Earn Your Leisure duo shared financial advice, insightful stories, and life reflections, helping support their movement and equip underserved communities with the tools to build and sustain generational wealth.

Keeping the night’s energy going, Bilal and Millings featured two surprise guests who added immense value to the room. Mortgage Broker, Matthew Garland provided expert insights into homeownership and real estate investment, and Derrick Faulcon, founder of Cloudy Donuts, who shared gems from his entrepreneurial journey, providing strategies for creating multiple streams of income and effectively leveraging one’s assets.
