We’re the Byproduct of Our Family’s Economic Story
Episode 222
Monday, 13 April, 2026
TFG is all back again, and more spicier (mainly Lawrence). In this episode, we unpack how our family’s financial history quietly shapes who we become. From inherited money mindsets to unspoken beliefs about scarcity, success, and security, we explore how the economic stories we grow up in influence our decisions, relationships, and sense of self. Wait, what's a Financial Griot? The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that together signify closing the wealth gap while embracing our differences. Alainta Alcin, Lovely Merdelus, and Lawrence Delva-Gonzalez share their perspectives on current events that impact your personal finances and wealth mindset. In the New York Times, Bankrate, and other publications, the hosts share the stories that others don't. Stories about growth, opportunity, and even Wars. Beyond that, we tie it back to how it reflects on your finances. Specifically, we teach you how to become financially literate, incorporate actionable steps, and ultimately build generational wealth. Can you imagine being a Millionaire in 20 years or less? Yeah, it's possible. Eighty percent of millionaires are first-generation, meaning they didn't inherit wealth. We teach you how. Join a community of subscribers who welcome a fresh take on money. So there you have it, The Financial Griot, or TFG for short. The hosts amassed over $3 million in wealth in about eight years and are on track to retire early. We will gladly share the secrets if you want them, since the opportunities are abundant and it's a Win-Win.
