Two Black Guys with Good Credit Does it Again Ranking Top Podcast on iTunes for Black History Month
It's been a exciting week for podcast, TWO BLACK GUYS WITH GOOD CREDIT, topping the charts again for Black History Month. The personal finance podcast is featured as one of the most important Business/Start-Ups podcasts on iTunes.
In 2016, born out of his charitable organization, Financially CLEAN, host Shaun Lynda, had an idea to create a podcast to extend his message of financial literacy beyond classroom.
TWO BLACK GUYS WITH GOOD CREDIT is a show about two guys from Canada living in the US for over 20 years (Arlington Forbes in Los Angeles and Shaun Lynda in Brooklyn). Both are business owners with successful track records and, of course, good credit! Each week they will bring you their ‘straight talk’ and at times humorous perspective on making, managing, and protecting your money.
While Shaun and Arlington go back and forth, co-host, Dionne Nicholls, keeps everyone on point as the Lady with the Facts.
Dionne brings the numerical and historical perspective to the topics at hand. Whether it be about the history of bitcoin or how credit card reward points date back to the 19th century, Dionne, a former fashion executive turned social entrepreneur makes sure that we know our past so we can properly contextualize our present.
“We take the guesswork out of finance to bring you a real perspective that is useful in our everyday. Each week we demystify the world of finance with our ‘straight-talk’, and often humorous perspective.....Two Black Guys with Good Credit puts the cool in financial literacy”
Arlington Forbes, Host, Dionne Nicholls aka 'The Lady with the Facts', Host, Matthew Smith, Producer, Jacqueline Forbes, Production Manager, Shaun Lynda, Host.
