Shakor J. Jukes, honored as an "Outstanding 40 Under 40" CPA, joins host Chris Mitchell to demonstrate how accounting goes far beyond spreadsheets. He recounts growing up in Newark's inner-city, discovering accounting in high school, and pushing through repeated CPA-exam setbacks. Now a champion of financial literacy, Jukes details the essentials that turn paychecks into generational wealth.
