We’re wrapping up Season 1 of Entrepreneur Like Me with a powerhouse guest—my sister, my friend, and an absolute force, Latrice Goodwine! Owner of Allstate Insurance Company, the Goodwine Agency, and author of Girl, What’s in Your Purse?, Latrice has been a trailblazer in women’s finance, small business growth, and insurance.

From financial advisor to coach, she’s made it her mission to help women understand what it means to have the right tools—and layers—in their "purse." Latrice makes finance fun, relatable, and empowering for everyone she meets.

I met Latrice in 2019, and she was one of the first people I connected with during my journey at CMURC. Now, she’s here to share her story and drop gems on financial literacy, building wealth, and knowing your numbers.

Don’t miss this final episode of the season—it’s one you’ll want to listen to over and over again!
