We are back for Season 7 of CoreCast!! In episode 1, host Robert Teed visits with financial literacy expert Jackie Cummings Koski of Money Letters, LLC. Jackie had joined the chapter’s Women of CoreNet community back in February 2023 and did such a fantastic job that we felt compelled to have her join us on CoreCast. While Jackie speaks to everyone in her work, she has a particular message to women about money and personal finance that we wanted to make sure to celebrate during International Women’s Month.
You may very well recognize Jackie from any number of media platforms, like 'The Rachel Ray Show', CNBC’s Closing Bell as well as Make It, in Forbes and People Magazine. And she has several great YouTube pieces about her and her work.
