Josh Gilliard, founder of Money Talks Media, has an MBA in Finance and a career in corporate banking — but don’t let the cap and gown fool you. He’s not here to bore you with Wall Street jargon.
Josh knows what it’s like to sweat bullets over his bank account, get the “good morning” text from overdraft fees, and deal with debt collectors blowing up his phone. Between his background in finance and his own battles with money, he’s seen the game from both sides.
That’s why he started Money Talks Media: to cut through the crap and give you the money playbook schools should’ve taught (but didn’t, because apparently geometry was more important).
The mission? Simple. Help you secure the bag, build wealth that lasts, and stop letting the financial system play you… again.

"Great video! I honestly clicked on it assuming it would be on the toxic side as grindset videos typically feel, but I love your humble and optimistic attitude, good luck with everything!"

Once you have the wisdom to live on a little—you can be trusted with a lot."
This means that when you learn how to live wisely and content with less, life (or even God) can trust you with more.
