We believe in empowering investors. While dividend growth investing is our chosen path, we are pleased to get inspiration from others who made it. Our guests all have something in common: they decided to build their own lifestyle and found ways to achieve it. Mike leads the discussion for these sporadic interviews but is still supported by co-host Vero, his core business manager and long-time partner at Dividend Stocks Rock.
