TIVP005: Alphabet (GOOGL): Searching for Quality w/ Shawn O’Malley

Millennial Investing by The Investor's Podcast Network is hosted by Robert Leonard (@therobertleonard). He talks with successful entrepreneurs, business leaders, and investors to help educate and inspire the Millennial generation, to improve their financial literacy, and make better investment decisions, with both their time AND money.

Real Estate 101 by The Investor’s Podcast Network is hosted by Robert Leonard. He brings on a wide range of guests, from fellow “newbie” investors investing as a side hustle to full-time multimillionaire real estate investors to walk you through all the questions and roadblocks you face as a new investor. You don’t have to face the world of real estate investing alone – let Robert, and his guests, be your guide on your investing journey. Break past the paralysis-by-analysis stage and get your first deal, or next deal, done with actionable tips, strategies, and guidance from Robert and guests!

You can subscribe to Millennial Investing on iTunes, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Play, iHeartRadio, or wherever you listen to your podcasts. If you’d like to connect with Robert, you can find him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook with his username @therobertleonard.
