The Money, Balance, Joy Podcast

Michael Sakraida

Our podcast was created because most non-financial and financial people don't have the fulfilling lives that they want and deserve. We have great guests thanks to the professional praise for my book on Amazon, "Money, Balance, Joy - Improving Your Life Story". Our guests can help you with one of three categories: 1. Money and Work; 2. Work/Life Balance; and 3. Joy and Happiness.
