Episode Summary
Having a savvy financial mindset is so important for every OT practitioner and student. But it’s one of those things that I feel like people might not prioritize or think it should be left up to the professionals. And because of that, last month’s Question of the Month was: “What questions do you have about money?” In order to help answer these questions, I brought on Mindy Jensen from the Bigger Pockets Money podcast. In the episode, she answers questions from the OT community and shares her insight into why we as OT practitioners and students need to pay more attention to our money. And stay tuned to the end of the episode to find out this month’s new question of the month.
