Annie Margarita Yang is the definitive voice in Millennial finance, specializing in strategies for beating today’s tough economic challenges. She is the author of an award-winning, best-selling new book, The 5-Day Job Search, which helps young professionals get out of student loan debt while finding the ideal job.

With more than 1 million views on YouTube, her witty approach to tough talk sets her apart from others.

Annie’s journey began with a powerful motivation: to prove her high school guidance counselor wrong. Her guidance counselor drilled into her that she would be a failure for the rest of her life if she didn’t go straight to college and borrow $40,000 to get the degree. Annie refused to believe it. She secured three accounting jobs in a row in only 5 days, without the formal accounting degree.

And now Annie shares her methods with others so that they can do the same. Her candid style cuts through the noise, delivering foolproof advice for real-world challenges. Far from generic tips, her tips focus on practical steps to quickly improve finances, especially for challenges unique to Millennials.

Based in Boston with her husband, Annie complements her professional life with a love for piano, adding another layer to her multifaceted persona.

Michael Wall has been an IT professional going back to when he had his own software store and worked with his customers with their “dose” problems. Originally hired by a small consulting firm to write web pages, he was thrust into the SysAdmin world when their lead consultant changed the passwords of all of the servers at a major pulp and paper company’s systems to 100%s$%t and walked out the door. He was sent down with a copy of UNIX for Dummies and 50 cents for the bus ride back. Fast forward a few years, he was asked if he wanted to be a DBA after successfully managing a fifty server Y2K upgrade. Since then, he’s never looked back and has survived a number of data and system challenges.
When not wrangling cats at home, he currently keeps busy with being active in the SQL Community by presenting and coordinating. He is blessed with a wonderful family and two lazy cats and keeps treading water literally down at the local pool.
