Grant Watkins is a native Houstonian serving as Founder and CEO of Earn Your Freedom. In 2019, Grant was living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to make ends meet, when he realized just how uneducated he was on financial literacy. Grant spent countless hours studying experts like Dave Ramsey, Robert Kiyosaki, and Ramit Sethi, all the while practicing his languages on Duolingo, which ultimately inspired the creation of EYF. With a background in sales and international business Grant has experience selling everything from cars, international manufacturing contracts in China, real estate and more. Grant is multilingual and taught himself the coding languages needed to build EYF: Money Quest.
