Have you ever wondered how your favorite YouTuber or athlete not only makes money, but also manages to grow their wealth? Well, the new podcast "Riser Diaries" is here to uncover the secrets. Created by TurboTax, the show features former "Bachelor" star Matt James as he interviews successful entrepreneurs, athletes, and media personalities to learn about their financial journeys.
The first episode, released on Feb. 28, featured rising TikTok star Corporate Natalie. She shared her story of how she turned her niche comedy into a lucrative opportunity. "Riser Diaries" aims to bring in guests who are not typically known for financial advice, giving listeners a unique perspective on how those in the spotlight handle their finances.
In an exclusive interview with BLACK ENTERPRISE, James opened up about his own financial journey and what listeners can expect from the show. "As someone who has struggled with finances and had difficulty with my taxes, it's not my strong suit," he admitted. "But when I started filing my own taxes and using TurboTax, I realized that my story and experiences could help others in similar situations. That's why I wanted to be a part of this podcast."
James emphasized that the show is not just about showcasing successful individuals, but also humanizing them and connecting with their audience. "Podcasts like this help to show the real side of people you may only see on social media," he explained. "We all started from the same place and faced our own financial challenges. It's a celebration to see how far we've come and what we've learned along the way."
"Riser Diaries" aims to not only inspire listeners but also educate them. As the show continues, more guests will be featured, including content creator Lele Pons and college basketball star Angel Reese. These trailblazers have all faced financial struggles but have come out stronger and more knowledgeable.
"Our goal is to educate people and make them aware that it's never too late to take control of your financial situation," James shared. "When you have a handle on your finances, it allows you to focus on your expertise and grow in your career. It's a win-win situation."
You can listen to "Riser Diaries" on all podcast platforms. So, if you're ready to learn from those who have already reached the top and gain some financial wisdom, be sure to tune in. As the show's tagline says, "It's never too late to secure the bag and grow it!"
