On today's episode of Building Billions, we have Sophie Doyle, founder of Alf the Label.

Sophie's journey began when she was pregnant with her first child and couldn't find a baby bag that was both stylish and functional. Fuelled by her desire for uncompromising style, Sophie took matters into her own hands and designed a bag that would represent her as a modern woman with her own sense of style while also serving the needs of motherhood. Little did she know, this would be the first signature style of Alf the Label. As her bag caught the attention of other mothers, Sophie realized there was a gap in the market for functional yet stylish parenting products.

Since then, Alf the Label has grown into a successful brand with a range of timeless, functional products that cater to parents' needs. With a focus on exceptional materials, attention to detail, and timeless design, Sophie's passion for craftsmanship is deeply rooted in the brand's ethos.

Join us as we delve into Sophie's journey and learn from her experiences on the Building Billions podcast.

On today's episode of Building Billions, we have Nancy Rodriguez from the Netflix reality show Love is Blind.

Contrary to popular belief, Nancy didn't build her wealth from her appearance on the show. In fact, for the past seven years, she has been quietly working on building a cash-flowing rental property portfolio that has allowed her to become debt-free, go full-time into real estate, and build generational wealth for her family.

Growing up with limited financial education, Nancy learned the importance of hard work and achieving financial success through observing her parents. After graduating from college with six figures in student debt, subscribing to Dave Ramsey's philosophy, she could pay off her debt, her fear of leverage fell away, and she began purchasing her first properties with a 0% down payment.

Despite facing numerous challenges, including dealing with burnt interiors, squatters, and bad contractors, Nancy persevered and continued to invest in properties, focusing on buying "ugly" homes and transforming them into profitable stays. Her journey has not only allowed her to achieve the financial freedom she sought but also enabled her to help others who want to achieve the same success.

Join us today as we dive into the reality of reality TV and what's next for this charismatic businesswoman.
