Welcome to Sal Talks Life: Thank You for Being Here
A heartfelt welcome from Sal: who I am, why I started Sal Talks Life, and how I hope to help you with money, business, tech and life through the grace of God.
First things first: thank you.
Out of everything you could be doing with your time right now, you chose to stop by here. Maybe a friend sent you. Maybe you found one of my videos. Maybe you just wandered in. However you got here, I’m truly glad you did, and I don’t take it lightly.
Who I am
I’m Marsallis Faircloth, but most people call me Sal. I live in New York’s Hudson Valley.
I wear a few hats. I’m a software engineer, working with NetSuite, integrations and website builds. I’m a licensed life insurance professional and a Financial Professional with Global Financial Impact (GFI). I create UGC (user-generated content) for brands. And I write short, beginner-friendly books that I sell on Payhip.
Along the way, I’ve been blessed to work with dozens of happy clients across my jobs, my website and integration builds, and my content creation. Each one taught me something, and I’m grateful for every one of them.
Why I started Sal Talks Life
For a long time I kept noticing the same thing. Money, investing, business and tech can sound like they’re spoken in another language. A lot of good, hardworking people never get a straight answer, so they feel behind, or they decide it just isn’t for them.
I don’t believe that. I believe anyone can learn this stuff when someone takes the time to explain it simply, without making them feel small for asking.
That’s why I started Sal Talks Life on YouTube and TikTok, and now here on the blog. I teach life, investing, business and tech in a way that makes sense for beginners. No big words to sound smart. Just plain English and real steps you can actually take.
What you’ll find here
This site is where everything I do comes together. Here’s where to look:
- The blog: plain-English posts on money, investing, business, tech and life.
- Software: my work as a software engineer, from NetSuite to integrations and web apps.
- Web services: for small business owners who want a website that actually works for them.
- UGC for brands: for brands looking for real, relatable creator content.
- Financial services: life insurance and planning, so you can protect the people you love.
- Books: my short beginner ebooks, for when you want to go a little deeper.
Start wherever you feel pulled. There’s no wrong door.
The heart behind all of this
I want to be honest about why I do this. My faith matters to me. I believe every skill I have and every door that has opened for me is a gift. So the way I want to use those gifts is simple: to help as many people as I can, as best as I can, through the grace of God.
I don’t have every answer, and I won’t pretend to. What I can promise is that I’ll tell you the truth as I understand it, share what I’ve learned, and point you somewhere better when a question is outside what I know.
If one post here helps you breathe a little easier about your money, take the first step on a business idea, or finally understand something that used to confuse you, then all of this is worth it.

Sal
