Jennifer was a single mother who lost everything...twice. The second time, she rebuilt by creating small “empires” for financial independence. She created over $1.4m in income producing investments with nothing more than a W2 and grit. In 2019, Jennifer created the Micro Empires Podcast to share her story and to pull back the curtain on the path to financial independence.
