Episode #495

Learning high-income skills can help you make money online—and a LOT of it! Just ask today’s guest, who worked not one but SEVEN internships to develop professional skills that would help her launch several successful online businesses down the road!

Welcome back to the “BiggerPockets Money” podcast! Jo Franco is an entrepreneur, YouTuber, podcast host, and digital nomad with multiple income streams. Born to undocumented immigrants, Jo didn’t have much growing up other than her family and a chance to pursue the American Dream, but what she lacked in money and resources, she made up for in pure work ethic. Throughout her teens and twenties, Jo worked all kinds of jobs, side hustles, gigs, and internships that allowed her to save money and even travel the world for FREE.

Since then, Jo has had her own Netflix show, built a successful YouTube channel, and launched her own journaling company. In this episode, she shares exactly how she made all of this happen, the keys to her success, and important money management tips for entrepreneurs. She also talks about the biggest mistake she has made in her career to date: hiring the wrong people!
