FinCon

What’s it like to attend FinCon? We’ll let these creators tell you in their own words. From long-timers to first-timers, these 5 creators shared what stood out to them. Whether it was the connections, the new opportunities, or just feeling inspired to grow, here’s what they had to say: ??? Michelle Jackson, Creators Getting Paid 9-year attendee, long-time blogger and podcaster ? “Every time I’ve attended a FinCon conference it has more than paid for itself in connections, community, brand awareness, and (very importantly) income.” ? On FinCon’s focus on community: “I truly appreciated FinCon’s intentional focus on prioritizing community connection within the conference content design.” ?? Ericka Young, AFC?, CFEI? & Chris Young MBA, For Better & Worth Podcast Multiple-year attendees, veteran money coach and podcasters ? “What I love about FinCon is people don’t gatekeep. If someone’s doing something and it’s working for them, they share freely and broadly.” ? The impact on their podcast: “Last year, we found our sponsor for this podcast from FinCon. If we had not talked to the vendors, we might not have had that sponsor.” ?? Kyle Burbank, Moneyat30 3-time attendee, blogger, and freelance writer ? “For many of the talks, I came away with at least one idea (or nagging reminder) to carry with me. None of the sessions I attended felt like a waste of time.” ? As an introvert, Kyle appreciated the meetups that made connecting easier: “It’s difficult for me to break out of my shell and take advantage of all FinCon has to offer. That’s why I truly appreciate the Meetups—they gave me something to talk to my fellow attendees about.” ??? Carl Jensen & Doug Cunnington, Mile High FI Podcast Advanced-level podcasters and long-time attendees ? “Now being my fourth year, I was able to visit with people that I’ve known for a few years and develop a friendship, a relationship with them.” ? Also highlighted the resources FinCon provides: “They sponsor the podcast and video booths... It’s really awesome they let you do that, and then you can sign up, record whatever you want.” ?? Nija, Budgeting the Bacon First-time attendee, new YouTube creator ? “I give it a 10 out of 10, especially being a newbie there... well worth it.” ? On how easy it was to connect with brands: “There was time for you to connect with different brands... talk with them about their product, their services, and how you would be able to connect with them.” These are just a few voices from the FinCon community—and they all walked away thinking it was worth it. ??

Exciting news! I’ll be speaking at FinCon 2024 in Atlanta ?? Last year, I attended my first Fincon in New Orleans on a complete whim. I was just starting to experiment with monetizing Money Abroad and wanted to learn from the pros. It was eye-opening. For the first time, I met tons of REAL people building businesses helping others with managing finances, investing, entrepreneurship, and living a rich life. It exposed me to what’s possible. But most importantly, I built genuine relationships where we help each other GROW. Fast forward to now, I’ll be speaking about my learnings during the October 23-26 conference for personal finance creators. Shout out to Philip Taylor, CPA and the Fincon team for giving me this unique opportunity. Want to join me? You can get 50% off the full price of a pass using my affiliate code, ABROAD.
