Biography
Earn Your Leisure is a revolutionary media platform co-founded by Troy Millings, a former elementary school educator, and Rashad Bilal, a former financial advisor, that is leading the charge on democratizing education in the worlds of business, investing, finance, and entrepreneurship. Their unique approach to financial literacy, often through the 'Edu-tainment' pop culture lens, has led to educating millions while collaborating with some of the biggest names in sports, media, and entertainment. The growing EYL media empire has spawned three top 100 podcasts and their own podcast network, a television series, touring properties, an annual conference, and is active in legislation to make financial literacy part of school curriculum. They’ve been featured in Forbes, Bloomberg, CNBC, CNN, Yahoo Finance, and more for their influential work in the financial literacy movement. This work has also resulted in partnerships with Ally Bank, the NBA G League, United Masters, and more.
Earn Your Leisure has amassed over fifty million downloads and is consistently ranked in the Top 20 Business Podcasts in the United States, peaking at #1 on the Apple Podcast charts. They’ve converted this success into over 2 million followers across social media, and have guests ranging from billionaires on the business side like Mark Cuban, Robert Smith, and Don Peebles to titans of sports and media like Shaquille O’Neal, Tyler Perry, and Daymond John. With such a demand for financial literacy content, EYL began doing live events across the globe, leading to a sold out world tour of their podcast, Market Mondays, spanning Los Angeles, Toronto, London, Ghana, and a sold out show at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden. They also give back to the community by doing free events and are a favorite on college campuses, most of which still do not have financial literacy courses.
More impressively, they've created what is now the biggest financial literacy festival in the world, InvestFest. InvestFest grew from 3,500 attendees in 2021 to 14,000 in 2022 and over 50,000 attendees over 3 days in 2023. They were also able to bring an iteration of it to London to the prestigious Royal Albert Hall, which has never been done before. Keynote speakers on InvestFest have included the most successful names in business, music, sports, venture capital, real estate, small business, and more. Previous keynote panelists have included Robert Smith, Chairman of Vista Equity Partners, Chris Lyons, General Partner at Andreesen Horowitz, Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, Dan Cathy, former CEO of Chick-fil-a, and Rich Paul, CEO of Klutch Sports. They've brought together those names with other titans of media and entertainment, including Steve Harvey, Tyler Perry, Cam Newton, Lonzo Ball, Chris Paul, and others. Corporate sponsors have included Zillow, Fidelity Investments, and AT&T.
Additionally, Earn Your Leisure has built an educational platform, EYL University, an online interactive community that includes over 200+ archived webinars covering a range of business, finance, and entrepreneurial topics. EYL University has over 12,000 active members and is one of the fastest-growing private business education communities in existence.
Topics
Financial Fluency as a Driver of Performance, Equity, and Culture
Earn Your Leisure co-founders Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal challenge companies to rethink financial education not as a personal side project for employees, but as a business imperative. When employees understand how money works in their own lives, they make better decisions, show up with more confidence, and feel more connected to opportunity. That mindset shift doesn’t just impact individuals—it improves performance, retention, and trust across the organization.
Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal break down the economic systems most people were never taught and explain how to navigate them with clarity and control. Their approach is rooted in cultural context, plain language, and practical strategies that meet people where they are. With a background that spans education, financial advising, and building one of the most influential business platforms in the country, they speak directly to the gaps in access and understanding, and how to close them.
