Live Financially Savvy

On this episode of the Live Financially Savvy podcast, we talk to Nehemiah Davis. Nehemiah is the founder of the Nehemiah Davis Foundation and The Circle of Greatness Academy. He is an amazing business man, philanthropist and author all by the age of 30. I am excited to get to sit down and discuss all his success. But most importantly we discuss his amazing mindset and why he considers himself a student as opposed to anything else. He also believes in giving back and this is evident with his foundation! They feed the homeless, they take children on sky trips and he offers courses and training to teens and youth who want to start their own businesses. Nehemiah has created many businesses out of necessity and opportunity and one of his biggest accomplishments is The COGA where he is able to help other entrepreneurs get ahead in their business.
