A Penny or Two for Your Thoughts Podcast artwork

A Penny or Two for Your Thoughts was created by two moms, two marketers, two women new to the financial industry who had a lot of questions. Banking and finances can be emotional and sometimes it's hard to ask questions we think we should know. That is where Chantel and Liz jump in asking all the questions, hoping they can help listeners along their financial journey. The episodes are interview-style with knowledgeable local guests. Each episode carries fantastic subject matter expertise that is easy to understand and relatable; sprinkled in with humor to engage listeners with a smile or a chuckle or two! We also end each episode by asking the guest to leave listeners with a Penny or Two for Their Thoughts which would be the key takeaways they would like the listeners to remember.If you have any questions you would like us to ask our Subject Matter Experts, send them our way to [email protected] Centris on Social!Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LinkedInThis is another Hurrdat Media Production.
