Today’s guest is Danny Harvey. Danny is the Director of Financial Planning & Finance Faculty at Prairie View A&M University. He is also a professional speaker and financial advisor.

His plan was to work for an investment firm, get rich, and then eventually become a professor and financial advisor when he was old and gray. But, life doesn’t always go as we plan.
