Disrupt Your Money: Liberation through Financial Education for Marginalized Business Owners
Disrupt Your Money is the unapologetic money podcast for marginalized small business owners who know that wealth building is a revolutionary act.
If you’ve ever wondered how to:
- Build a profitable, sustainable business that funds both today’s needs and tomorrow’s generational wealth
- Navigate systemic barriers while accessing the capital, resources, and opportunities you deserve
- Align your money moves with your values and community impact
- Protect your financial power in a system that was never designed for you to succeed
…you’re in the right place.
We believe economic equity is the key to reclaiming our financial power—and that dismantling and rebuilding our money systems is just as critical as making sales or filing taxes. Every week, we break down practical, shame-free strategies to help you grow, protect, and pass on wealth, so you can create a legacy that outlives you.
From pricing and profit strategies to money mindset and systemic change, we’ll talk about the real issues—without the jargon, judgment, or boring finance-bro vibes.
Whether we’re unpacking tax tips, demystifying investments, or calling out inequities in the financial system, our mission is simple: help you use your money to disrupt the status quo and build an equitable future.
Your business is more than income—it’s a tool for liberation. Let’s use it.

Who Gets to Be “High Net Worth”? Redefining Wealth for Our Communities
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Who decided “high net worth” starts at a certain dollar amount in an investment account, and why do so few of those definitions include us in the picture?
In this episode, Meg takes apart the idea of being “high net worth” and asks a bigger, better question instead: what does wealth actually mean for our communities? She looks at how the financial industry use labels like “mass affluent” and “HNW” to decide who gets access and support, and how those labels were built on stolen land, unpaid labor, and generations of exclusion.
Then we zoom in on what it looks like to define wealth on your own terms and build a version of “high net worth” that includes safety, support, and community. You will walk away with practical steps to measure what matters, set your own “enough” number, and build wealth that actually serves you and your people.
