Building a Brand That’s Relatable with Julien Saunders of rich & REGULAR

Julien and Kiersten Saunders, the couple behind the award-winning blog and forthcoming book, rich & REGULAR®, are known for their pull-no-punches yet humorous creative storytelling about life and money.

In addition to their platform rich & REGULAR, the Saunders also produce the video series, Money on the Table and Money Editors at Success Magazine. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, their mission is to inspire the African American community to consider and adopt the FIRE lifestyle as a path to building generational wealth.

The Saunders will also be presenting a Big Idea talk on the mainstage at #FinCon21.

In this episode of the Money & Media Podcast, Julien talks with host Joe Saul-Sehy about the early days of rich & REGULAR and prioritizing (then and now)  the message and heart of their brand over making money.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • About the intentional steps Julien and Kiersten took in the beginning to build the rich & REGULAR brand
  • Why Julien believes all creators should “be willing to be human”
