Episode 323 talks about how to become a future millionaire, featuring the one and only Rachel Rodgers. Listen now!
Rachel Rodgers is the founder of Hello Seven, a multi-million dollar company that helps diverse entrepreneurs earn more and build lasting wealth. Hello Seven has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for the past three years, thanks to its impact on thousands of business owners from historically excluded communities.
Rachel’s mission is to teach women and marginalized people how to break free from the cycles of overworking, under-earning, and financial stress—so they can build generational wealth and live lives of true freedom. Each week, her podcast and blog reach over 400,000 people, offering practical strategies to grow your income, work smarter, and make confident financial decisions—even before you’ve hit millionaire status.
She has been featured on Good Morning America, The Drew Barrymore Show, Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc., Cheddar, CNBC, PopSugar, and Women’s Health. As a business coach, attorney, CEO, self-made millionaire, Black woman, and working mother, Rachel combines deep professional insight with lived experience. She’s known for her direct, no-fluff advice and for tackling the tough systemic issues—like racism, sexism, and outdated legal structures—that have long blocked wealth access for women and people of color.
Rachel started her career on Capitol Hill, working with nonprofits, federal judges, and leaders like Hillary Clinton. But she quickly realized that changing the world is much easier when you have money in the bank—so she set out to build wealth for herself and teach others to do the same.
She is the host of The Hello Seven Podcast and founder of We Should All Be Millionaires: The Club, an online community that has helped hundreds of members become millionaires and thousands more achieve financial freedom. Her first book, We Should All Be Millionaires: A Woman’s Guide to Earning More, Building Wealth, and Gaining Economic Power, became a Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon bestseller.
Rachel also hosts ROI: The Millionaire Summit, a premier conference that has inspired thousands of entrepreneurs.
Today, Rachel is living a life beyond her—and her ancestors’—wildest dreams with her husband and four children.

She also shares her take on the changing landscape of college, careers, and why it’s time to rethink how we prepare the next generation for success.
