Welcome to EYL, where we dive deep into practical strategies to make financial education engaging and effective for children! In this episode, Rashad Bilal discusses the importance of gamification in teaching kids about finance, budgeting, and the essentials of money management.*Why Gamification Matters*Rashad emphasizes that making learning fun through games can significantly help in teaching essential financial skills. Children often find it challenging to grasp the importance of budgeting, saving, and prioritizing expenses. By gamifying these concepts, parents can ensure that their kids are not only learning but are also enjoying the process. From classic board games like Monopoly to custom-created budget battles, gamification is a powerful tool to teach financial responsibility.*Budget Battle Breakdown*One innovative idea Rashad introduces is the 'Budget Battle,' a game where families can simulate real-life financial decisions. Here's how it works:Each player receives a set amount of 'fake money.'Players have a list of necessities (like rent and food) and non-necessities (like travel and entertainment).The total cost of items exceeds the amount of money given, forcing players to prioritize their spending.The goal is to make the best financial decisions, with winners possibly earning real money as incentives.This game teaches kids the importance of prioritizing needs over wants and the consequences of poor financial planning.*Monopoly Lessons*Monopoly is another excellent game for financial education. Rashad suggests that parents should take time during the game to explain critical financial concepts:The importance of buying property and collecting rent.The benefits of owning clusters of properties for better financial returns.The overall strategy of either paying rent or collecting it as a landlord.By breaking down these lessons during gameplay, children can gain a deeper understanding of real estate, rent, and loans, making the game not just entertaining but also educational.*Building Good Financial Habits Early*Rashad points out that habits formed early in life tend to stick. Introducing children to good financial habits at a young age can set them up for long-term success. Just like healthy eating habits and avoiding harmful substances, financial education should also start early to become ingrained in a child's daily life.*Incentivizing Learning*To make these financial lessons more impactful, Rashad suggests rewarding kids for making sound financial decisions in these games. Real-life incentives, such as winning actual money, can motivate children to take the lessons seriously and apply them in real-life situations.*Why It’s Important*Understanding finances is crucial for everyone, yet many people grow up without this vital knowledge because it’s not taught in schools. Gamified learning makes it easier for children to comprehend and retain critical financial concepts, setting them up for a stable future.*Watch the Full Episode*Tune in to this insightful episode of EYL Medium #2 to learn more about Rashad Bilal's tips and tricks for making financial education fun and effective for kids.

In this impactful conversation with Principal Travis Brown, we explore innovative ways to teach financial literacy to parents so they can empower their children with the tools for financial success. The traditional message of “go to college and get a good job” no longer guarantees financial freedom in today's economy. We discuss the need to shift the narrative, especially in communities affected by consumerism and luxury rap culture, and emphasize that financial freedom—not a good job—is the ultimate goal.One critical element of this conversation is the idea of a “hidden curriculum.” Financial literacy skills and money mindsets are often inherited from parents, but many students, particularly in communities of color, don’t encounter real financial challenges until they are applying for college. This can be too late to develop the habits and knowledge needed for long-term financial success. By engaging parents, we can equip them to have these important conversations early, ensuring their kids are better prepared.To make learning about money more engaging, we suggest gamifying education. Imagine creating interactive group activities where kids and their parents can work together to solve financial challenges, incorporating friendly competition through games. Movie nights could be another way to engage families, featuring films that spark discussions about money, saving, and investing. These types of hands-on, communal experiences make learning about financial literacy fun and relevant for all ages.The conversation also highlighted the power of social learning and how students can lead financial discussions at home. Financial organizations won’t solve these problems for us—it’s up to the community to educate itself. #FinancialLiteracy #GamifiedEducation #TeachKidsAboutMoney #FinancialFreedom #EYL #GenerationalWealth #MoneyMindset #EducationMatters #MovieNight #EarnersAcademy #GroupLearning #InteractiveEducation #EachOneTeachOneAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome back to another clip of EYL, where we break down the complex world of taxes with our esteemed guest, Ms. Business. In this enlightening episode, Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings of Earn Your Leisure dive deep into the nuances of LLCs, S Corps, and C Corps and how each entity impacts your taxes and business strategy.Are you unsure about which business entity to choose or when to make the switch? Ms. Business offers invaluable insights to help guide you through these crucial decisions. She starts by giving a clear rule of thumb: if your business profits are $40,000 or less, stick with an LLC. For profits between $40,000 to $450,000, an S Corp is more beneficial. If you're making over $450,000, it might be time to consider a C Corp.Ms. Business explains the tax implications for each type of entity:1. *LLCs:* Owners are subject to self-employment tax, including Social Security and Medicare taxes.2. *S Corps:* Allows for tax savings by having owners pay themselves a salary, reducing the amount of money subject to self-employment tax.3. *C Corps:* Suitable for big businesses with strategies like issuing stock options and drawing up plans for reinvesting profits, thus reducing taxable income.Throughout this episode, you'll learn about typical misconceptions like needing to start with a complex business structure. Ms. Business and the hosts make it clear that you can start as an LLC and then transition to an S Corp or C Corp as your business grows.Also highlighted are common pitfalls and misconceptions in tax strategizing, such as the importance of correctly expensing business costs. Incoming TED Talk anecdote! Troy Millings recalls a time when he misunderstood tax write-offs, comically proving the importance of proper tax education.Moreover, Ms. Business emphasizes that the journey of your business structure doesn't end once you start; it evolves as your business prospers. She calls the LLC the "flexible entity" because of its ability to adapt to your business's growth.If you want to make informed decisions for your business based on its unique financial situation, this video is a must-watch.

Welcome back to another clip of Market Mondays! In this thought-provoking discussion, hosts Ian Dunlap and Rashad Bilal are joined by Troy Millings to delve into the pressing issues facing today's American workforce and economy. *Key Topics Discussed:*1. **Education and Economic Success**: Rashad opens the discussion with a startling statistic: 62% of U.S. adults do not hold a four-year college degree. This revelation leads to an in-depth conversation about the implications of this educational reality on the workforce. Rashad and the hosts argue that while a college degree doesn't guarantee success, it remains a significant factor in improving one’s economic prospects. The average American with a bachelor’s degree earns significantly more than those without one, indicating a direct link between education and economic stability.2. **Political Responsibility and Economic Promises**: The hosts tackle the issue of politicians pandering to low-skilled, uneducated workers by making unrealistic promises about affordable housing and job creation. Rashad stresses that these promises are often impractical and unattainable, leading to disillusionment and economic strain. The discussion highlights the need for honest political dialogue and practical solutions to address the economic challenges faced by the workforce.3. **The Housing Market Crisis**: Housing affordability remains a significant concern, with Rashad pointing out that despite efforts to create more affordable housing, prices continue to rise. This crisis is exacerbated by increasing homelessness, with a 10% rise reported from the previous year. The hosts emphasize that the housing market, similar to the stock market, is subject to continuous price increases, making it challenging for the average American to secure affordable housing.4. **The Skills Gap and Economic Opportunities**: The conversation also extends to the skills gap in the American workforce. Rashad argues that many Americans lack the necessary skills to thrive in today’s economy, a situation worsened by the decline of traditional blue-collar jobs due to technological advancements and globalization. The hosts underline the importance of acquiring relevant skills, particularly in technology and entrepreneurship, to stay competitive in the current job market.5. **Outsourcing and International Implications**: The outsourcing of jobs to countries with cheaper labor is another critical issue discussed. Rashad recalls Tim Cook’s testimony before Congress, explaining why companies like Apple can't bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.A. due to cost and regulatory constraints. This global outsourcing trend has contributed to the loss of high-paying jobs in America, further complicating the economic landscape.6. **The Future of Higher Education**: The debate on the value of higher education continues as the hosts explore the future trajectory of college enrollment and student debt. With the rising cost of college tuition and the debatable return on investment, more people are questioning the traditional path of obtaining a four-year degree. The hosts provide insights into alternative education pathways and the potential for skill acquisition through non-traditional means such as online learning platforms.In conclusion, this clip of Market Mondays provides a comprehensive analysis of the various factors impacting the American workforce and economy. The hosts offer a sobering yet realistic perspective on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your career, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you navigate the ever-changing economic landscape.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more episodes of Market Mondays!*Hashtags:*#MarketMondays #Economy #Workforce #Education #HousingCrisis #PoliticalEconomy #TechJobs #StudentDebt #OutsourcingAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome to the first clip in our "EYL" series, where we dive deep into the world of Artificial Intelligence. Our guest X. Eyee meticulously breaks down what AI is and how it functions. If you've ever found the concept of AI overwhelming or confusing, this clip is tailor-made for you!*What is Artificial Intelligence?*Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a term that covers a wide range of technologies aiming to make machines think and act like humans. Just like cars can vary—be it two-door, four-door, electric, or gas—AI encompasses diverse tools and technologies touching different disciplines such as computer science, mathematics, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Despite their varied nature, all AI technologies aim to achieve one goal: to emulate human thinking and actions.*Five Domains of AI:*X. Eyee elaborates on AI's five domains, comparing them to the human senses:1. *Natural Language Processing (NLP):* This includes applications like Siri, where the machine learns to understand and generate human language. Functions such as text-to-speech and speech recognition fall under this domain.2. *Computer Vision:* Used in facial recognition and other image analysis applications, this domain teaches machines to see.3. *Haptics:* A field often explored in robotics, where machines learn to touch and feel, similar to human skin sensitivity.4. *Machine Olfactory:* This newer field teaches machines how to smell, although it has its set of challenges.5. *Machine Taste:* Still in its infancy, this realm aims to teach machines how to taste, facing similar hurdles as machine olfactory.*Overcoming Fear of AI:*The human brain is naturally inclined to fear the unknown. X. Eyee discusses how understanding AI can help overcome these fears. Becoming educated about AI—its domains, capabilities, and limitations—can help demystify it. There's also a call to action for communities to engage in shaping policies and regulations around AI, ensuring it's used for the greater good.*Machine Learning and Generative AI:*Machine Learning (ML) is the crux of teaching machines how to think like humans. It involves training algorithms with data so that they can learn and improve over time. Machine learning is categorized into:1. *Supervised Machine Learning:* The algorithm is trained using labeled data, i.e., data with known outcomes.2. *Unsupervised Machine Learning:* The algorithm uncovers patterns and outcomes from unlabeled data.3. *Deep Learning:* A more complex subset of ML, which mimics the neural networks of the human brain for more intricate tasks.Generative AI, a specialized form of AI, aims to replicate human creativity and imagination. When prompted, it can generate outputs like text, images, or even music, making it a fascinating area in AI research and application.*TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read):*For those who want a quick recap, X. Eyee has provided a handy TL;DR slide summarizing the core points discussed in this clip.

In this eye-opening clip of the EYL series, we host a hard-hitting debate featuring Congressman Jamaal Bowman and Whitley Yates. This candid conversation dives deep into complex issues, such as U.S. foreign policy, the exploitation of child labor in African nations, and the role of white supremacy within American political systems.Congressman Jamaal Bowman lays out his views on how both Republican and Democratic parties have been complicit in supporting white supremacist ideologies and elaborates on how current foreign policies might perpetuate systemic inequalities. He argues that the U.S. support for Israel contributes to a genocide recognized by international courts and raises concerns about child labor in the Congo and Coltan mining, emphasizing that African nations don't benefit from the wealth generated by these resources.Whitley Yates, on the other hand, challenges Bowman by scrutinizing his voting record and the broader actions of his party. She asserts that both parties, albeit primarily the Democrats, have failed to address the issues that affect the Black community despite relying heavily on their votes. Yates provides a historical perspective, mentioning that many initiatives beneficial to minority communities, such as the Small Business Administration, were actually initiated by Republicans. She critiques the Democrats for promising change but delivering little substantive policy to improve the lives of Black Americans.Throughout the debate, Bowman emphasizes the need for continued organization and efforts to oppose white supremacy, highlighting the Democrats’ support for Social Security, Medicare, and other initiatives aiding marginalized communities. He also calls for further advances in key areas like reparations and justice in policing.Yates counters by noting her personal experience living in major cities governed by Democrats, pointing out that the conditions in these areas often deteriorate despite repeated promises of improvement. She contends that the Democratic Party has historically used the Black community’s support to maintain power while offering minimal tangible benefits in return.This clip is filled with passionate arguments and thought-provoking insights that will leave you questioning the role of political parties in perpetuating systemic issues and the genuine steps required to create meaningful change.Tune in for this riveting debate that promises to shed light on critical social and political issues affecting not just the Black community, but the entire nation.*Hashtags:*#EYL #JamaalBowman #WhitleyYates #PoliticalDebate #ForeignPolicy #WhiteSupremacy #ChildLabor #DemocratsVsRepublicans #USPolitics #BlackCommunity #SocialJustice #Reparations #SocialSecurity*Check out our other videos and don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with our latest content!*Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode of EYL, Rashad Bilal hosts special guest Alexiou Gibson to break down the controversy surrounding the health benefits of sea moss. Recently, a doctor on Nick Cannon’s show stated there are no real health benefits to sea moss, which sparked widespread debate. Rashad brings this up to Alexiou, who has a wealth of knowledge and firsthand experience with sea moss, both in personal testimonials and through rigorous scientific testing.Alexiou Gibson delves deep into the subject, providing evidence from lab tests that show sea moss contains a rich array of minerals like zinc, potassium, vitamins A, K, D, and more, which have tangible health benefits. He also discusses the historical significance of sea moss, including its crucial role during the Irish Potato Famine in the 1800s when it was one of the few resources that kept people alive.With a background in biomedical engineering and experience working with NASA, Alexiou provides a compelling argument backed by scientific data. He explains the importance of nutrient-dense foods and how the modern diet often falls short. This is where sea moss can be beneficial, especially in a society where nutrient deficiencies are more common than we might think.The episode reveals the importance of sourcing sea moss from credible suppliers who perform extensive mineral and heavy metal testing, a practice that Alexiou’s company upholds rigorously. He emphasizes the need for transparency, ensuring that the sea moss products are free from harmful contaminants like mercury.In response to whether people in America need supplements like sea moss given their overall well-rounded diet, Alexiou points out the reality that most Americans do not consume the necessary nutrients through their diet alone. Fast food, processed foods, and even fruits and vegetables lacking seeds contribute to a nutrient-dead society, making supplements like sea moss all the more essential.Alexiou also shares powerful testimonials from individuals who have experienced significant health improvements through sea moss. From anti-inflammatory benefits aiding those with arthritis to improvements in fertility and immune system support, the positive impacts are hard to ignore.Join us as we dissect these points, revealing the truth about sea moss's health benefits.

In this episode of EYL, we sit down with Alexiou Gibson, the visionary entrepreneur behind a skyrocketing $37 million business. Alexiou shares his transformative journey from an ambitious business plan to partnering with renowned sharks on Shark Tank.

Welcome back to another exciting clip of Market Mondays! In this clip, hosts Ian Dunlap, Rashad Bilal, and Troy Millings dive deep into the latest hot topics in the financial world. ### Key Highlights:**1. Federal Reserve's Rate Cuts:**Federal Chair Jerome Powell's concerns about the timing of potential rate cuts have stirred significant discussion. Ian Dunlap argues that timing might never be too late when it comes to rate cuts, stating that any cut would provide much-needed relief to the markets. They also explore the potential implications of rate cuts on the economy, including how it could act as a stimulus and alleviate fears of a recession. Troy and Ian weigh the possible outcomes of a quarter or half-point cut in September and subsequent months, assessing how this delicate balancing act could impact inflation and market dynamics. **2. CEO of the Year:**Who deserves the title of CEO of the Year? Ian and Troy debate whether it should go to Jensen Huang of Nvidia or Mark Zuckerberg of Meta. Ian leans towards Jensen, citing his significant impact on Nvidia's market performance and the broader economy. They discuss how Jensen’s strategic decisions have made Nvidia the darling of publicly traded companies in America. Conversely, Rashad praises Zuckerberg's achievements and contributions, highlighting the reach and influence of Meta's platforms.**3. Nvidia’s Anticipated Earnings Report:**Nvidia is in the spotlight with its earnings report scheduled to be released soon. Our hosts discuss the market's expectations and the possible outcomes. Ian advises a cautious approach, suggesting that while Nvidia may hit solid earnings, setting expectations too high could backfire. Troy shares an optimistic view but acknowledges potential delays in new product launches, referencing Nvidia's Blackwell product as a critical point of interest. They emphasize the importance of managing expectations while recognizing Nvidia's stellar performance over recent quarters.**4. Market Hedging and Retail Investors:**The discussion touches on Bank of America's advice for hedging in the market. Ian believes that while hedging might suit institutional investors, retail investors might miss out on significant gains, particularly with a powerhouse like Nvidia. The consensus is that retail investors stand to benefit considerably if the market moves favorably, driven by strategic rate cuts and solid earnings reports.**5. Meta’s Market Dynamics:**Despite Meta hitting home runs in their earnings, their stock hasn’t always reflected this success. Ian and Rashad analyze this phenomenon and how Meta's platforms, including WhatsApp and Instagram, maintain significant user engagement and market presence. They explore the challenges of being a publicly traded company where market expectations and actual performance can sometimes diverge.**Conclusion:**Join us for this insightful episode as we navigate the intricate balance of economic policies, market expectations, and company performances.

In this insightful clip of Market Mondays, hosts Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dissect the recent movements in the stock market, particularly focusing on the Dow Jones Industrial Average's latest performance. The Dow, having recently touched new record highs, saw a subsequent pullback—a phenomenon that seems to puzzle many investors. Ian Dunlap kicks things off by explaining the cyclical nature of the stock market. He emphasizes that historically, after the market hits an all-time high, it tends to pull back 80% of the time. This correction is expected, much like an athlete who scores an extraordinary 55 points in one game is unlikely to replicate that performance immediately. Ian advises that investors should focus on the long-term, investing in quality stocks and not be overly concerned about short-term market fluctuations.Troy Millings touches on the sensationalism prevalent in financial media. He notes how headline writers often exaggerate market movements to capture attention, stressing the need to distinguish between sensationalism and actual market fundamentals. Troy points out that the supposed “sector rotation” is typically irrelevant for retail investors and is more of a buzzword used in financial circles to stimulate discussion.Both Ian and Troy highlight the significance of upcoming events, particularly Nvidia's earnings report. Scheduled for release on August 28, this report is poised to have a substantial impact on market indices like the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500. The anticipation around this earnings report is compared to the excitement surrounding a highly awaited album release in the music industry. Nvidia's performance is crucial because it’s deeply intertwined with the AI sector, which is a significant driver of growth in the current economic landscape.The conversation also touches upon the nature of market performance as the year progresses. Historically, the months of September and October can be quite volatile, whereas the year-end period from November through January generally sees a market rally. This year-end rally is also influenced by factors such as potential rate cuts and major earnings reports like Nvidia’s.Ian adds another layer to the discussion by explaining how media narratives are crafted to attract attention, particularly on Mondays. Sensational headlines often make minor market movements seem more critical than they are, which can unnecessarily alarm investors.Join us in this episode as we provide a balanced perspective on the current market dynamics, offering valuable advice for both new and seasoned investors. Learn why it’s essential to stay focused on long-term goals and how to navigate the sensationalism of financial news.*Keywords:* Dow Jones, Nvidia earnings, stock market analysis, sector rotation, long-term investing, market behavior, financial media sensationalism, AI growth, Nasdaq, S&P 500, investing tips, economic trends, rate cuts, market volatility.*Hashtags:*#MarketMondays #StockMarket #DowJones #Investing #Nvidia #FinancialNews #AI #Nasdaq #SP500 #LongTermInvesting #EconomicTrends #MarketAnalysis #InvestingTips #FinancialAdviceOur Sponsors:* Check out Acorns: acorns.com/EYL* Check out Fundrise: fundrise.com/EARN* Check out Kajabi and use my code kajabi..com/EARN for a great deal: kajabi.com* Check out Kajabi and use my code kajabi..com/EARN for a great deal: kajabi.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome back to another insightful clip of Market Mondays! In this clip, we are thrilled to be joined by the distinguished Senator Tim Scott. Renowned for his notable contributions to economic policy and social reforms, Senator Scott offers a unique perspective on the efficacy of former President Donald Trump's economic strategies, particularly their impact on African Americans and the broader U.S. public.**Summary:**In this candid conversation, host Ian Dunlap delves into Senator Scott's views on the economic legacy of President Trump. The Senator sheds light on several pivotal achievements during the Trump administration, including the creation of 7 million new jobs, a significant portion of which benefited women and minorities. Highlighting the historically low unemployment rates for African Americans and Hispanics, Scott attributes this success to the inclusive economic policies that he himself helped shape.Senator Scott also emphasizes the importance of Trump's initiatives like the permanent HBCU funding, the historic cancellation of HBCU debt, and the implementation of opportunity zones. He notes the profound impact these policies had on the economic wellbeing of minority communities.However, the conversation doesn't shy away from the criticisms. Ian Dunlap poses critical questions about the negative repercussions of retaliatory tariffs on farmers and businesses.

While these issues are frustrating and time-consuming, they sometimes open doors for collaboration and licensing deals. They illustrate how these situations turn into opportunities for lucrative settlements and benefit the brand's exposure.Rashad emphasizes the importance of having a strong legal framework to safeguard one's creations against imitators who attempt to capitalize on the success of other brands. Through poignant anecdotes, like receiving an email from someone who admits to using their brand to support their child’s education, the guests showcase the paradoxical admiration and frustration of dealing with copycats.Sean and Tommey talk about the hefty legal fees which, at their peak, could reach up to $15,000 a month, underscoring the financial burden of safeguarding intellectual property.

Welcome back to Market Mondays! In this enlightening clip, host Ian Dunlap sits down with the esteemed Senator Tim Scott to discuss pressing issues surrounding the K through twelve education system and the financial barriers of higher education in the United States. With the staggering costs of education and the stark disparity in quality between affluent and impoverished communities, this conversation is more relevant than ever.**Key Discussion Points:**1. **Quality Education for All:** Senator Scott emphasizes the critical need for quality education options for everyone, especially those living in poverty. Through his experiences and initiatives, he illustrates the stark contrast between the options available to wealthy families versus those from low-income backgrounds. He argues fervently for school choice as a solution, a sentiment that resonates across demographic lines and has found support among a significant percentage of African American, Hispanic, Asian, and blue-collar parents.2. **Success of Charter Schools:** Highlighting the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program and New York's Success Academy, Senator Scott delves into how charter schools have significantly outperformed public schools in terms of graduation rates and college attendance. With high school graduation rates over 90% and a notable increase in college attendance, these examples serve as a testament to the potential of school choice in bridging the educational divide.3. **Affordable Higher Education:** From his tenure on the Education Committee and personal experiences, Senator Scott suggests community colleges as a viable option to make higher education more affordable. States like South Carolina and Tennessee offer programs where the first two years of college are free at community colleges, with credits transferable to major universities. This strategy effectively halves the cost of a four-year degree without compromising on the quality of education.4. **Support for HBCUs:** During the COVID-19 pandemic, significant steps were taken to cancel over a billion dollars of debt for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Through bipartisan efforts, these institutions garnered the highest funding in the nation's history, making this support permanent. Senator Scott argues that this measure is crucial for providing lifelong learning opportunities, especially for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.5. **Long-Term Economic Benefits:** Despite the daunting $35,000 average debt for college graduates, the senator presents a silver lining. This investment equates to an additional $2 million in lifetime income, a compelling deal for those unable to finance their education through other means. This perspective encourages a broader view of education as a worthwhile long-term investment.**Why Watch?**Whether you're a parent, educator, policymaker, or student, this episode is packed with insights that cut across party lines and socio-economic backgrounds. Senator Scott shares his bipartisan efforts and actionable solutions that aim to make quality education accessible and higher education affordable for all Americans.**Don’t miss out—hit play and join the conversation!****Timestamps:**0:00 - Introduction0:10 - Improving K-12 Education1:00 - Significance of School Choice2:00 - Success of Charter Schools in DC and NYC3:26 - Affordable Higher Education through Community Colleges4:38 - Debt Relief for HBCUs5:40 - Long-Term Economic Benefits of College Education**Subscribe and Follow Us!**If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more insightful discussions every Monday.**Hashtags:**#MarketMondays #EducationReform #SchoolChoice #CharterSchools #AffordableEducation #HBCUs #SenatorTimScott #IanDunlap #CommunityColleges #HigherEducation #LifetimeLearning #BipartisanEffortsJoin us on this journey toward redefining education for future generations!Our Sponsors:* Check out Acorns: acorns.com/EYL* Check out Fundrise: fundrise.com/EARN* Check out Kajabi and use my code kajabi..com/EARN for a great deal: kajabi.com* Check out Kajabi and use my code kajabi..com/EARN for a great deal: kajabi.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome back to Market Mondays! In this clip, we are thrilled to have Senator Tim Scott join hosts Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal. The discussion dives deep into the concept of Opportunity Zones—a term many have heard but few truly understand.**What You’ll Learn in This Video:**- **The Genesis of Opportunity Zones:** Senator Tim Scott shares his personal journey and the inspiration behind the creation of Opportunity Zones. Growing up in a single-parent household in North Charleston, South Carolina, he witnessed firsthand how living in the "wrong zip code" limited opportunities for many talented individuals. This personal experience fueled his drive to design a project that could bring essential resources back to underserved communities.- **How Opportunity Zones Work:** The video covers the basic framework of Opportunity Zones. Senator Scott explains how governors of various states designate low-income areas as Opportunity Zones and the kinds of tax incentives offered to investors. These incentives were crafted to encourage long-term investments, focusing on transformation rather than quick profits.- **Impact and Results:** One of the key discussions revolves around the measurable impact of Opportunity Zones. Senator Scott cites statistics, revealing that these zones have attracted nearly $70 billion in investments to economically distressed areas. Property values have seen a 20% rise, and wage growth has increased by around 8%, significantly above the national average of 3.2%. Additionally, the video addresses concerns about gentrification and highlights that it has remained under 5% during the period, emphasizing the project's success in balancing growth and community integrity.- **Bridging the Knowledge Gap:** Troy Millings brings up an important point about financial education and how it can be a barrier for average people wanting to take advantage of Opportunity Zones. Senator Scott discusses numerous initiatives, events, and partnerships aimed at educating communities about these investment opportunities. Real-life examples like the affordable housing projects in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and Bishop Jakes' work in Georgia offer tangible proof of the program’s benefits.- **Future of Opportunity Zones:** The discussion also touches on the future of Opportunity Zones, as the current incentives are set to expire next year. Senator Scott hints at the necessity for another push and a strategic rollout to continue the positive momentum.**Why You Should Watch:**This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in economic development, investment opportunities, and financial education. Whether you are an investor looking for new ventures, a community leader wanting to bring resources to your neighborhood, or simply someone curious about policies that drive economic change, this video has something for you.**Join Us:**For more insightful discussions and expert opinions, subscribe to our channel and hit the notification bell so you never miss an update.

In this episode of Market Mondays Medium, hosts Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap sit down with special guest Don Peebles, a prominent real estate developer with significant experience in the New York real estate scene.

Peebles gives a nuanced view, asserting that Trump is not more racist than Joe Biden, arguing that their policies affect African Americans in different ways. He recalls historical policies and events such as the 1994 crime bill and the 1986 mandatory sentencing guideline and their devastating impact on black communities, largely attributed to Biden's legislative history.Peebles shares his personal experiences with Trump, explaining that Trump has always treated him with respect and has shown interest in supporting black entrepreneurs and gaining black voters.

Peebles responds by comparing rhetoric with actual policy impact, emphasizing Biden's direct role in legal frameworks that led to mass incarcerations. The conversation delves into the role of economic opportunity as a crucial factor in uplifting black communities and navigating America's capitalistic democracy.Toward the end, Rashad and Peebles agree on the importance of evading emotional bias in both business and politics.

Welcome back to another exciting episode of *EYL*. In this episode, hosts Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings sit down with Mag Rodriguez to delve into the revolutionary partnership between their platform and Luminate, a game-changing collaboration that gives artists unprecedented control over charting on Billboard.Luminate is the agency responsible for all the reporting in the recorded music industry, both domestically and internationally. Originally known as Nielsen Soundscan, Luminate has undergone several transformations over the years, but it remains the backbone of Billboard chart auditing. As Mag explains, after 18 months of persistent negotiations, their platform has received the golden stamp of approval from Luminate just eight weeks ago and has been an official reporter for four weeks. Mag highlights the monumental significance of this approval. Traditionally, charting on Billboard required artists to sell their albums via major DSPs like Apple or Spotify. However, thanks to this groundbreaking partnership, artists using their platform can now influence their Billboard rankings by selling directly to superfans. This development has already started making waves in the industry, as evidenced by the flood of calls Mag received once the announcement was made. If you’ve ever wondered how the intricacies of Billboard charting work, Mag breaks it down for you. Typically, it takes 1,250 streams to equate to one album sale—a steep uphill task for any artist. But with this new system, one album sale on the platform equates directly to one album sale on Luminate, offering a simpler and more artist-friendly pathway to chart success. Larussell is poised to be one of the first artists to benefit from this system, potentially charting on Billboard this year through direct fan purchases.Rashad and Troy dive deeper into how this platform became the pioneering superfan app eligible for Billboard. Mag recounts the rigorous vetting process that involved detailed sales reporting, integration with data processors like Stripe, and strict weekly reporting requirements. Missing even one week of reporting can result in temporary disqualification, making the process highly disciplined and transparent.Mag shares an inspiring story of how French Montana was the second artist to use this revolutionary platform. Known for his innovation beyond music, French Montana recognized the platform's potential immediately. Mag recounts how smooth the entire process was with French, illustrating how artists stand to benefit immensely from this new model. However, the inability to report to Billboard was initially a dealbreaker for bigger artists, a hurdle that has now been cleared. With this milestone achieved, expect to see major albums breaking through in the coming quarters, leveraging this new pathway to the top of the charts.Don’t miss this insightful discussion that offers a rare glimpse into the evolving dynamics of the music industry. Whether you're an artist looking to scale the Billboard charts or a fan interested in the behind-the-scenes workings, this episode is packed with valuable information!*Subscribe to EYL for more groundbreaking interviews and industry insights!**Hashtags:*#EYL #Luminate #MusicIndustry #BillboardCharts #Superfan #Streaming #AlbumSales #FrenchMontana #Larussell #InnovationInMusic #MusicBusiness #Blockchain #Crypto #TroyMillings #RashadBilal #MusicInnovation #EYLInterview #IndependentArtists #ArtistControl #ChartTopping #MusicReportingMake sure to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated with all our latest episodes.

This initiative, led in conjunction with Reverend Sharpton, aims to create a permanent space to honor those who have contributed significantly to the civil rights movement.You'll also learn how you can play a part in pushing this project forward.

In this clip of Market Mondays, we dive deep into the latest developments in the electric vehicle (EV) market, specifically focusing on Tesla's recent decline in**Title: Market Mondays Medium #2 - July 15 | Tesla's Market Share, EV Trends, and Investment Insights**Welcome back to another clip of Market Mondays, your go-to source for the latest insights in the financial market. In this episode, our hosts Troy Millings, Ian Dunlap, and Rashad Bilal dive deep into the recent shifts in Tesla's market share and what it means for the company and the electric vehicle (EV) sector as a whole.We start off with Rashad Bilal’s observation on Tesla's market share dipping below 50% for the first time since the EV sector gained popularity. This is a significant shift that has caught the attention of investors and market analysts alike. Is this a red flag for Tesla, or just a temporary setback? Ian Dunlap believes it’s an overhyped headline and remains confident in Tesla’s long-term viability despite the rise of competitors like BYD and other American companies.Ian suggests that investors should carefully choose their re-entry points, with a preference for the $223 mark, and points out that although there are areas for improvement, particularly in innovation, he doesn't believe Tesla is in serious trouble just yet.Troy Millings provides a broader perspective, noting that while Tesla has seen a decline in market share, the overall EV market has grown by 11%. This means more players are entering the space, which naturally dilutes Tesla’s market dominance. Despite this, there is still substantial room for growth in the EV sector, given that only 7% of all vehicles sold in 2023 were electric.Rashad counters by stressing that in business, you’re either gaining or losing. He raises a valid concern about consumer satisfaction, citing a Wall Street Journal report that up to 40% of EV owners are reverting back to gas-powered vehicles. This phenomenon raises questions about the long-term sustainability and adoption of EVs.We also discuss whether the entire EV market is experiencing a bubble, with investors' expectations possibly outpacing actual results and feasibility. Rashad shares his skepticism about Tesla’s diversified ventures into robotics and AI. He believes that while Elon Musk is a visionary, some of his projects like Robo-taxis and autonomous robots seem overly ambitious and are not likely to materialize in the near term.Throughout the discussion, the trio examines whether Tesla remains a top investment pick. Ian maintains his long-term bullish stance but agrees that some of Tesla’s initiatives, like the highly publicized robo-taxi service, might be more fiction than near-future reality. Rashad, however, believes there are better investment opportunities out there, even though Tesla will continue to make money.In the end, Ian makes a case for Tesla integrating its various ventures to form a mega-corporation, combining forces with companies like Starlink, to build a more substantial and diversified entity. Troy agrees that while Tesla might not be a top-five company right now, it still holds a significant position in the market that shouldn’t be underestimated.Join us for this in-depth discussion and get invaluable insights into the current and future landscape of the EV market and Tesla's role within it.

These regulations could potentially stifle small businesses from competing in the rapidly growing AI market. What does this mean for innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit?- *Human vs. Robot:* 19 Keys believes that as robots take on factory work and low-paying jobs, humans need to delve deeper into what it means to be human.

Welcome back to another insightful clip of Market Mondays series! In this clip, we dive deep into the current state of podcasting and the influencer market with our special guest, 19 Keys. Hosted by Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings, this discussion sheds light on crucial topics that everyone in the digital space needs to be aware of.Episode Breakdown*Introduction of 19 Keys:*19 Keys opens the discussion with an intriguing question about the future of podcasting and whether there's an ongoing "influencer recession." With his wealth of knowledge in personal branding and technology, he sets the stage for an engaging conversation.*Influencer Recession:*Rashad Bilal discusses the signs of the influencer recession, noting how various markets, including comics and financial literacy influencers, are witnessing a downturn. He provides examples from the financial literacy space, where many influencers who rose during the pandemic have now gone silent. Even platforms like OnlyFans are not as lucrative for some as they used to be. Rashad's insights help contextualize why this recession is happening and what it means for the future.*Podcasting for Everyone?*Can everyone succeed in the podcasting realm? Rashad and Troy think not. They highlight the complexities and the effort required to produce high-quality content. From researching topics to editing episodes and creating engaging social media snippets, there's a lot more to it than just talking into a microphone. Rashad suggests that while everyone should have an Instagram to build their personal brand, podcasting is not necessarily for everyone due to its labor-intensive nature.*Monetization and Value:*Troy further breaks down the monetization aspect. Not everyone should start a podcast just to make money; the true value lies in passion and the unique message you offer. He explains that even celebrities have backed out from podcasting, realizing it's not the cash cow they expected. If your goal is solely financial, you won't last long in this space. *Niche Down & Build Value:*19 Keys adds nuance by discussing how important it is to find your niche. He outlines how podcasting can be a powerful tool for personal branding and content funneling. With a specific focus, you can create a smaller but more engaged audience. He emphasizes the significance of authenticity and how smaller, focused audiences can provide greater returns for advertisers. Using his own experiences with Cordyceps and other health products, 19 Keys illustrates how niche podcasting can serve as a content funnel to various aspects of your business.*Invest Fest 2023:*The speakers then pivot to discuss the upcoming Invest Fest, emphasizing its uniqueness and its essential role in fostering a culture focused on future growth and wealth-building. They call on attendees to show up at their 100%, network creatively, and treat the event as a monumental opportunity for personal and professional growth.Key Takeaways:- *Influencer Market Downturn:* The influencer recession is real but temporary. Quality and consistency will keep you afloat.- *Effort in Podcasting:* Podcasting is labor-intensive and not for everyone. Passion and a unique message are critical.- *Monetization:* Diversify your income streams; don’t rely solely on podcasting for revenue.- *Niche Focus:* Finding your niche will help you build a dedicated audience and increase value.- *Invest Fest 2023:* Prepare to network, learn, and grow at this year's Invest Fest.Join us for this thought-provoking episode as we uncover what it takes to thrive in today's digital landscape.

In this episode of Market Mondays, hosts Troy Millings, Rashad Bilal, and Ian Dunlap dive deep into Nike's recent struggles and future prospects. Following the news that Nike's stock fell after projecting a larger-than-expected sales decline for 2025, the hosts share their sharp insights on what this means for investors and sneaker enthusiasts alike.Ian Dunlap kicks off the discussion, expressing his skepticism about investing in Nike at this time. He emphasizes the need for Nike to stop re-releasing the same Jordans and Dunks, noting that consumers are growing tired of the lack of innovation. Ian also highlights how competitors like Crocs and Lululemon are gaining ground and suggests that Nike's failure to retain top creatives such as Kanye, Don C, and Kyrie could be detrimental. He argues that unless Nike can secure creative powerhouses and innovate substantially, it will struggle to maintain its competitive edge.Troy Millings agrees, pointing out that as an avid sneakerhead, he isn't currently investing in Nike for several reasons. He underscores the lack of innovation in their product lines and remembers the golden era of the mid-nineties when Nike introduced groundbreaking technologies like Zoom and Air. But those days seem like a distant memory now as the brand fails to introduce anything revolutionary. He notes that the collaboration strategy, while initially successful, has become a crutch rather than a stepping stone for innovation.As they dig deeper, the hosts discuss the broader sports and athleisure market, showing that Nike's struggles are part of a larger industry trend. They mention how competitors like Adidas and Under Armour are also experiencing declines, making it evident that the sector as a whole is under pressure. The conversation gets bleaker when Troy reveals that Nike reported its worst stock day on record and is already forecasting year-over-year declines through 2025.Moreover, the hosts point out several social and cultural missteps by Nike, including their handling of athletes like Colin Kaepernick and Kobe Bryant. The discussion touches on how Nike's current roster of athletes like Zion Williamson and Jason Tatum hasn't managed to capture the public’s imagination in the same way as the Jordans and Kobes of the past. The hosts suggest that without a new face to lead the brand or major innovation, Nike's ability to appeal to the next generation of consumers remains uncertain.The episode wraps up with a powerful observation by Ian Dunlap regarding the corporate culture at Nike. He questions whether the current executive leadership genuinely understands or uses the products they are trying to sell to the culture, making a compelling argument that this disconnect is part of the brand's current woes.Market Mondays MM Medium #6 isn't just about Nike's recent market performance—it's a comprehensive analysis of the brand's position in the market, its prospects for recovery, and where it stands in the eyes of both consumers and investors. Tune in to hear the detailed insights and recommendations from experts who know this industry inside and out.#MarketMondays #Nike #StockMarket #Investing #SneakerCulture #Athleisure #Finance #BusinessInsights #Innovation #NikeStock #Adidas #Lululemon #UnderArmour #IanDunlap #TroyMillings #RashadBilalOur Sponsors:* Check out Acorns: acorns.com/EARN* Check out Kajabi and use my code kajabi..com/EARN for a great deal: kajabi.com* Check out Kajabi and use my code kajabi..com/EARN for a great deal: kajabi.com* Check out Monarch Money: www.monarchmoney.com* Check out ShipStation: https://www.shipstation.com/EARNAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome back to another exciting episode of EYL! In this episode, your hosts Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings sit down with the inspiring Donae Burston, the brilliant mind behind one of the fastest-growing rosé brands. Ever wondered about the complicated dynamics of celebrity-owned brands in the spirits industry? Or the challenges and triumphs of running a black-owned business in a traditionally white-dominated sector? This episode offers a deep dive into these topics and much more.Starting off with a thought-provoking discussion, Rashad questions whether celebrity brands hold less credibility in the spirit world. Donae offers his candid perspective, explaining how the "cookie cutter approach" of slapping a celebrity name on a product isn’t always a guaranteed formula for success. The conversation then steers towards the racial undertones in the branding of luxury goods. Certain challenges arise when a black entrepreneur puts his name and face on a product. Donae reveals how his PR team convinced him that being visible as a black owner was crucial, despite the risk of the brand being pigeonholed.Donae, who aims to make his rosé brand the number one in the world, rather than just the top black-owned rosé, dives into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to build a luxury brand. He underlines the importance of making sure the product feels and looks luxurious, comparable to the best in the industry. This desire extends beyond rosé to white and red wines, showing his broader vision for brand expansion.Another compelling segment revolves around team-building and operational strategy. Donae shares that his team consists of only four internal members, highlighting a lean, outsourced approach to manage cash flow effectively while bringing in top-tier talent on a project basis. He describes frequent collaborations through group chats for tasks ranging from label design to Instagram captions, ensuring every detail reflects the brand's luxurious ethos.Ever wondered how much time an entrepreneur like Donae dedicates to his venture? He confesses that the rosé business consumes most of his day, emphasizing the importance of focus when you're at a critical juncture in your business journey. Additionally, he reveals that now his biggest competitors are the companies he once worked for, illustrating a full-circle moment in his career.Donae also touches upon the occasional negative feedback from former colleagues and competitors, particularly about the role Jay-Z played in his previous work. Yet, this doesn’t deter him; rather, it fuels his ambition to outshine them with a younger, cooler, and high-quality rosé.This episode is packed with wisdom on navigating the complexities of branding, especially when racial and celebrity elements come into play. Donae's journey is a testament to resilience and a clear vision, attributes that are essential for any budding entrepreneur.Don't miss this enlightening conversation that balances business acumen with social insight.

Welcome back to another clip of Market Mondays. In this clip, we address a topic that has significant implications for millions of Americans— the potential insolvency of Social Security and Medicare. Bloomberg projects that Social Security will run out of money to pay full benefits by 2033 and Medicare by 2036. So, what does this mean for you, and what can we do about it? Let's dive in.*Key Discussion Points:**1. The Reality of Social Security and Medicare:*Ian Dunlap kicks off the conversation by shedding light on the dwindling funds. According to him, we've already been witnessing signs of this impending crisis, such as the financial troubles in Chicago. Troy Millings adds how our generation, born in the '80s, has always been warned of this, and now we see those predictions coming to fruition.*2. Self-Reliance in Financial Planning:*Ian emphasizes the importance of taking control of your own financial future due to the uncertainly surrounding these government programs. From investing in stocks to opening brokerage accounts, he stresses on diversifying income sources and savings. *3. Political Dimensions:*Rashad Bilal gives us a deeper understanding of the political intricacies that influence Social Security and Medicare. It’s not just about the money; it's about how Congress allocates the budget. Rashad points out that while Democrats might propose raising taxes to cover these costs, Republicans might argue to reduce spending. The real solution likely lies somewhere in the middle.*4. Impact on Healthcare:*Troy highlights another alarming issue: the skyrocketing costs of healthcare in America. Without Medicare, healthcare becomes even more exorbitant, making it all the more important to have substantial savings or alternative health coverage options.*5. Savings and Investments:*Rashad talks about the importance of liquid savings and investments to weather financial storms. The goal should be to have at least six months of savings, but having a year’s worth of liquid assets can provide more security.*6. Broader Economic Impacts:*Ian brings attention to the growing disparity between the rich and poor and the possibility of a "poor person’s recession," where the most vulnerable will bear the brunt of the economic downturn. He stresses the importance of financial preparedness not just for individuals but for the larger economic system.*Conclusion:*Our discussion underscores the urgency of financial self-reliance and political awareness. If Social Security and Medicare are on a rocky path, it’s more important than ever to take control of your financial destiny. Whether through diversified investments, liquid savings, or active political participation, the time to act is now.Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more insights into financial markets, economic policies, and investment strategies.

In this insightful clip of EYL, we sit down with the talented photographer and videographer Cam Kirk to delve deep into the intricacies of copyrights in the creative industry. Whether you're a budding photographer, a seasoned creator, or simply curious about how copyright laws impact artistic works, this conversation is for you!Cam Kirk kicks off the discussion by emphasizing the importance of understanding the term "work for hire." He sheds light on how crucial it is for photographers and videographers to recognize that signing a contract with this term means they relinquish ownership of their work. This essentially allows the employer to use the image or video in any way they see fit, from merchandise to global advertisements, without needing further permission.He further explains the differences between what's known as "above the line" and "below the line" usage rights. Above the line refers to higher-tier uses like billboards or products, while below the line encompasses social media platforms and other digital realms. Knowing these distinctions can significantly impact how creators approach their contracts and negotiations.The hosts bring up historical legal battles, such as the infamous case involving Nike and the photographer behind the iconic Jumpman logo featuring Michael Jordan. This long-standing legal tussle highlights the complexities around intellectual property and the long-term implications for both the photographers and the brands that utilize their work.Cam also touches upon real-life scenarios, discussing how photographers and videographers can navigate their rights when their work is used in high-grossing mediums like album covers or merchandise. He offers a unique perspective by sharing case studies, such as the successful lawsuit against Urban Outfitters for using Tupac's image without proper rights, and the contentious debates between Jay-Z and Jonathan Mannion over the commercial use of Jay-Z's photos.Moreover, Cam elaborates on the often-overlooked technical aspects, like setting copyright information directly within your camera's settings. This small but powerful step can help solidify an artist's claim over their work and prevent future legal disputes.Wrapping up, the discussion transitions to the realm of videography and content creation. Rashad Bilal inquires about the ownership of videos, especially in contexts like podcasts or music videos. Cam clarifies that, much like photography, the individual who presses the record button and handles the equipment holds the initial ownership unless explicitly transferred through a written contract.This episode is a must-watch for anyone in the creative industry looking to protect their work and understand the legal landscape surrounding content creation. Tune in to gain valuable insights from Cam Kirk and learn how to navigate the often murky waters of intellectual property rights.#IntellectualProperty #CamKirk #PhotographyRights #Videography #ContentCreation #CopyrightLaws #EYLMedium #CreativeIndustry #LegalInsights #PhotographyBusiness #VideoProduction #ContentCreators #ArtistsRights #PhotographyTips #VideographyTips #EYL #EarnYourLeisure---Watch this clip and equip yourself with the knowledge to safeguard your creative endeavors.

Welcome back to another clip of EYL! In this exciting edition, we sit down with Brenna Murphy and Ricky Murphy, the dynamic duo behind Pink Nookie, to uncover the incredible story of how a singular event, Investfest, catapulted their business to new heights.When Brenna first heard about Investfest through a post shared by their social media manager, Jalisa, she had no idea that this decision would be transformative. Initially skeptical about the $2,000 investment, Brenna was convinced after reading testimonials from attendees who talked about how Investfest changed their lives. One comment, in particular, resonated with her—it spoke of moving to Atlanta solely because of the event. Having recently moved to Atlanta herself, Brenna felt a spark and decided to take the leap.Their first year at Investfest was a whirlwind of hustle and improvisation. Entering a room filled with elaborate vendor booths, Brenna and her team found themselves underprepared with just a banner and a pink tablecloth. But determination and last-minute trips to Hobby Lobby paid off—they sold out at the event! Fast forward to the next year, they returned as seasoned veterans with an upgraded setup, complete with a lit-up backdrop and a full team, prepared to seize every opportunity.Listeners can expect to glean invaluable insights from Brenna and Ricky’s experiences. They shared how vital preparation is, from anticipating inventory needs to shutting down their website and store temporarily to focus solely on Investfest. Their strategy paid off, and the effort to perfect every detail, from business cards to booth presentation, contributed to their success.The conversation delves deep into the hustle mindset that every entrepreneur should adopt. Rashad Bilal emphasizes that nothing in entrepreneurship falls into your lap; it requires stepping out of your comfort zone and hustling hard. Brenna’s statement that many vendors underestimate the potential impact of such events is a lesson in itself. Her proactive approach—engaging with attendees, capturing moments with celebrities for social proof, and understanding the event layout—sets an excellent example for aspiring entrepreneurs.One memorable anecdote includes an encounter with Dan Cathy, the CEO of Chick-fil-A, who walked through the marketplace early on a Sunday with bags of Chick-fil-A in hand. Brenna’s ability to seize the moment, engage with him, and even take a picture speaks volumes about her proactive approach.The key takeaway is clear: the success of Pink Nookie at Investfest wasn’t accidental; it was a result of careful planning, relentless hustle, and leveraging every opportunity. Brenna and Ricky’s journey showcases the importance of networking, the power of strategic giveaways, and the significance of being prepared to pivot and adapt as needed.Tune in to hear more inspirational stories, learn actionable strategies, and get motivated by this incredible entrepreneurial journey.

Welcome to another impactful clip of Market Mondays! In this clip, hosts Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings sit down with Representative Bowman to discuss the stark economic disparities in one of the most diverse districts in America. This clip dives deep into crucial topics like affordable housing, black wealth creation, and reproductive rights, highlighting Representative Bowman’s insight and legislative initiatives.*Key Highlights:*- **Economic Disparities in the District**: Representative Bowman elaborates on how districts like his, encompassing both the affluent neighborhoods of Scarsdale and Rye and the economically challenged areas of Mount Vernon and South Yonkers, depict America's tale of wealth inequality. He emphasizes the close physical proximity but stark economic divide between these communities.- **Affordable Housing Crisis**: With Westchester County needing approximately 80,000 affordable housing units, Bowman discusses the legislative efforts to cap rental costs at 20% of salary. He points out the resistance from wealthier areas to allow affordable housing developments and underlines the role of federal policies and Wall Street in maintaining high housing prices.- **Financial Burdens**: Beyond housing, Bowman touches on the broader spectrum of financial challenges faced by working-class families, including childcare, utilities, food, and transportation. He advocates for higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy to fund essential services and infrastructure.- **Black Wealth Creation and Reparations**: Bowman passionately argues for public investments to repair historical harms, such as redlining, which isolated and devalued black communities. He calls for federal dollars to be reinvested to rebuild these areas and promote self-sustaining wealth. He also explains that reparations are a vital step toward rectifying the federal government's century-long subsidization of white wealth at the expense of black communities.- **Importance of Entrepreneurship and STEM Education**: Highlighting the need for innovation and entrepreneurship, Bowman believes that financial literacy coupled with new ideas in technology can build wealth in black communities. He stresses the importance of STEM education to foster entrepreneurial thinking among youth.- **Women's Issues and Reproductive Rights**: Troy Millings shifts the conversation to women's issues, particularly reproductive rights and maternal mortality. Bowman commends New York’s strong stance on reproductive justice but points out the glaring issues of maternal mortality, especially among black women. He calls for more anti-racist training for healthcare providers and improved medical support for expectant mothers.This clip is jam-packed with valuable insights and solutions aimed at tackling some of the most pressing issues in Bowman's district and beyond.

In this thought-provoking clip of Market Mondays, hosts Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings are joined by special guest William Wagstaff to tackle an issue that often gets overlooked in discussions of police reform – the financial impact of police misconduct. They delve into how police brutality and misconduct aren't just social justice issues but significant financial burdens on taxpayers.Rashad Bilal opens the discussion by drawing a parallel between police accountability and professional insurance policies, like errors and omissions insurance held by financial advisors, and medical malpractice insurance for doctors. He suggests that individual police officers should similarly be required to have insurance policies that can cover the damages resulting from their misconduct, thereby removing the financial burden from taxpayers.William Wagstaff explains the current system where municipal budgets often have line items earmarked for settlements arising from police misconduct. He emphasizes that funds used to pay for these settlements come from taxpayers and could otherwise be directed towards essential community services like senior programs, youth initiatives, parks, and mental health services.They highlight shocking statistics, such as 63% of local taxes typically going to school districts while the majority of people remain unaware of who sits on their local school boards. This lack of transparency extends to policing budgets, where significant taxpayer money is spent without public scrutiny or accountability.Wagstaff argues for creating a financial disincentive for police misconduct by advocating for mandatory insurance policies for police officers. This can lead to savings for municipal governments, better quality policing, and the redirection of funds towards community needs. Using examples like New York City, where millions are spent on police misconduct settlements without resulting in systemic change, he makes a compelling case for financial reform to drive better policing practices.Troy Millings and William Wagstaff then discuss the powerful influence of police unions such as the Police Benevolent Association (PBA), which often stand in solidarity whenever incidents occur, making systemic change difficult. To counter this, Wagstaff suggests improving transparency in policing and community relationships. He calls for local elections to become tools for accountability, where mayors and town supervisors hold the police accountable, and financial expenditures on policing are made public.Wagstaff also emphasizes the importance of recruiting police officers from the communities they serve. He recounts cases like the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, where the judge's bias was apparent. This, he argues, would be less likely if community members served as law enforcement officers, as they would view their interactions through a more empathetic lens.Combating the historical trauma between communities of color and the police, Wagstaff likens the relationship-building process to that of someone dating a partner with past traumas. He underscores the importance of understanding and patience in repairing these relationships and the need for police officers to act not just out of self-interest but genuine care for the communities they serve.In closing, Wagstaff proposes treating policing as a profession that requires high qualifications, education, and appropriate compensation. He argues that better-educated and qualified officers would improve the quality of policing and community relations. This episode of Market Mondays is a must-watch for anyone interested in the intersections of finance, policy, and social justice.*Hashtags:*#MarketMondays #PoliceReform #FinancialImpact #PoliceMisconduct #CommunityPolicing #SocialJustice #MunicipalBudgets #InsurancePolicy #PublicAccountability #WilliamWagstaff #RashadBilal #TroyMillings #TaxpayerMoney #LocalElections #CommunityRelations #YouthPrograms #MentalHealth Our Sponsors:* Check out Acorns: acorns.com/EARN* Check out Kajabi: kajabi.com/EARN* Check out Monarch Money: www.monarchmoney.com* Check out ShipStation: https://www.shipstation.com/EARNAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this insightful clip of EYL, hosts Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal sit down with successful entrepreneur and mentor Ryan Breslow to discuss the intricacies of fundraising for startups. Ryan shares invaluable lessons and strategies that have helped him navigate the challenging world of venture capital and investment without falling into common pitfalls.

He inquires about Kofi’s strategic vision for the city’s development over the next five to ten years. Kofi elaborates on the critical importance of rebuilding the downtown core to boost tax revenues, which are essential for sustaining public services throughout the city. Renovating classic buildings and enhancing public spaces between them are key to attracting residents, businesses, and tourists to the heart of the city. Kofi goes on to highlight various initiatives that Bedrock has spearheaded to make downtown Detroit more vibrant and appealing, from establishing a roller rink and hosting winter festivals to supporting major national and international events.

In the latest episode, hosts Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings sat down with guest Issac Hayes to discuss the revolutionary model of giving creators monetary control from day one. Hayes emphasized the importance of disruption in industries, particularly how artists, athletes, and influencers can use platforms like fanbase to circumvent traditional revenue streams and directly monetize their content and following. He detailed the existing issues within the social media landscape, such as creators not getting fair compensation, and how direct subscriptions can change that. With examples like YouTuber Kai who makes $400,000 a month from subscribers, Hayes argues that fanbase can allow anyone, regardless of follower count, to potentially earn enough to at least cover basic expenses, which is a drastic shift compared to what current mainstream platforms offer. The conversation also touched on fanbase's investment opportunities, with Hayes noting that users have already been able to cover their investments through the revenue they generate on the platform. Lastly, they tackled the topic of mergers and acquisitions and the current state of fanbase as it continues to disrupt the market without backing from major tech giants, remaining in the 'beat em' phase.#SocialMediaDisruption #CreatorMonetization #DirectToConsumer #FanbasePlatform #SocialMediaRevolution #InvestInTech #CreatorEconomy #WealthBuildingInTech #DisruptiveInnovation #TechEquity #EmpowerCreatorsOur Sponsors:* Check out undefined: monarchmoney.com/LEISUREAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this thought-provoking episode of Market Mondays, hosts Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal engage in an insightful conversation with guest experts Louise Story and Ebony Reed about the deeply entrenched racial wealth gap in America. The conversation revolves around the book "Fifteen Cents on the Dollar: The Black-White Wealth Gap," co-authored by Louise Story and Ebony Reed, shedding light on how historical events and systemic practices have contributed to this stark wealth disparity.The discussion starts with a deep dive into the title of the book, "Fifteen Cents on the Dollar," which refers to the typical wealth held by a black family compared to a white family, based on federal data released by the Federal Reserve. Ebony Reed clarifies that this discrepancy in wealth is distinct from the income gap, highlighting the long-standing imbalances in wealth accumulation rather than just earnings.The conversation then delves into the historical context, tracing the roots of the wealth gap back to the 1800s. Louise Story emphasizes that the subtitle of the book, "How Americans Made the Black Wealth Gap," deliberately highlights the role of specific actions taken by individuals and institutions throughout history, rather than attributing it to a vague notion of 'America.' This distinction draws attention to the deliberate practices and policies that have perpetuated the wealth gap.The guests further explore a myriad of factors, from redlining and discrimination to industry practices in banking and insurance, illustrating how these elements have systematically hindered the accumulation of wealth within the black community. The impact of historic events such as the attacks in the Greenwood district of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the exploitation of programs like the GI Bill are also brought to the forefront, shedding light on the intricacies of systemic inequality.Furthermore, the conversation uncovers the nuanced nature of wealth distribution, acknowledging that historical advantages or disadvantages are not always defined by racial lines. Louise Story and Ebony Reed stress the importance of understanding individual family histories within the broader context of systemic inequality, illustrating the complexity of how different families have been impacted by historical circumstances.The episode also touches upon the significance of homeownership and the stock market in wealth creation, offering insights into potential avenues for addressing the wealth gap and empowering marginalized communities.As the discussion unfolds, Market Mondays creates a platform for introspection, inviting viewers to reflect on the historical factors that have shaped their own family's financial trajectory, encouraging a deeper understanding of the complexities of wealth and privilege in American society.

In this episode, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings discuss Amazon's $9 a month healthcare offering for Amazon Prime members. The hosts delve into the details and implications of this move by Amazon, highlighting the potential impact it could have on the healthcare and tech industries.Amazon's foray into the healthcare space is not entirely surprising, as the company has already made moves in this area with acquisitions such as One Medical and PillPack. By offering a $9 a month healthcare plan, Amazon aims to provide unlimited access to on-demand virtual care, including video chats with licensed providers. This move not only aligns with the current trend of virtual health services necessitated by the pandemic but also capitalizes on Amazon's existing infrastructure and delivery capabilities.Ian Dunlap raises an interesting point by comparing Amazon's $9 healthcare offering to a hypothetical scenario where a presidential candidate promises $9 healthcare for all Americans.

With its large customer base and positive reputation among Amazon Prime members, the company could become a dominant player in the healthcare space.Troy Millings points out that Amazon is not simply entering the healthcare market to compete, but rather to dominate.

Millings emphasizes the potential of Amazon's approach, stating that they have a track record of entering industries to dominate them, as seen with their acquisition of Whole Foods.The hosts also discuss the potential profit margins of this venture for Amazon. While Dunlap mentions the importance of squeezing as much profit as possible out of the $9 monthly fee, Millings suggests that Amazon may not prioritize profitability in the initial phases. He argues that even if Amazon operates at a loss initially, they have the financial capacity to sustain it while gaining a stronghold in the market and potentially bankrupting competitors.To illustrate Amazon's aggressive business tactics, the hosts recount the story of Diapers.com. Amazon attempted to acquire the company, but when their offer was declined, they resorted to undercutting Diapers.com by selling diapers at a loss. Eventually, Amazon purchased Diapers.com for a reduced price and dissolved the business entirely, showcasing the ruthless nature of business competition.Overall, the hosts predict that Amazon's $9 healthcare offering has the potential to disrupt the industry and further solidify the company's position as a dominant force in both healthcare and tech. With their vast customer base, existing infrastructure, and financial resources, Amazon has the capacity to reshape the healthcare landscape and potentially diversify into other industries in the future.#Amazon #Healthcare #Tech #VirtualHealthcare #Diapers.com #BusinessStrategy #Disruption #Dominance #Profitability #RuthlessBusiness #PrimeMembers #Pandemic #MarketDominanceOur Sponsors:* Check out Hinge: https://hinge.co/* Check out Kajabi and use my code EARN for a great deal: https://kajabi.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this clip, host Rashad Bilal sits down with esteemed guest Robert F. Kennedy Jr., attorney, author, and activist, to discuss his aspirations of becoming the next presidential candidate for 2024. With the current political season in full swing, it is important to shed light on candidates that may not always make the headlines but have valuable perspectives and ideas.The conversation starts with the pressing issue of Israel Palestine, and Rashad asks for Robert's thoughts on the current situation and what he would do if he were the president today. Robert emphasizes the need to end the violence and protect innocent children, highlighting that half of the population in Gaza is under 18. He acknowledges the efforts made by Israel to warn people before bombing areas, but also raises concerns about the lack of bomb shelters for civilians in Gaza and the potential for the conflict to escalate into a regional war.Rashad raises an important point about the responsibility of Israel to handle the civilian population in a more sensitive manner. He questions the effectiveness of warning emails when people have no safe place to go, and cites instances where civilian casualties have occurred. Robert counters by stating that the casualty reports from Hamas should be questioned, as they tend to exaggerate the numbers. He also mentions that Hamas rockets sometimes misfire and land in Gaza, causing casualties that may be attributed to Israel. He adds that Israel takes extensive precautions to avoid civilian casualties, even when targeting terrorists.The conversation delves into the history and context of the conflict, with Robert highlighting the long-standing hostility between Hamas and Israel. He mentions how Hamas has targeted civilians in Israel with rockets and has carried out gruesome acts of violence. He condemns these actions and acknowledges that some Israeli settlers' behaviors towards Palestinians are criminal and should be condemned as well.Robert also sheds light on the financial situation in Gaza, criticizing how the leaders of Hamas live in luxury while their people suffer in poverty. He claims that international aid money meant for the welfare of the people is instead used to fund weapons and violence against Israel. He points out that Hamas's charter calls for the genocide of Jews and states that every Jew must be killed.The conversation concludes with Rashad questioning the appropriateness of allowing a neighbor to bombard another country with rockets without taking action. Robert responds by stating that no country would tolerate such aggression and would take measures to protect its civilians.This thought-provoking discussion provides insights into the complexities of the Israel Palestine conflict and the perspectives of different stakeholders. It emphasizes the importance of considering multiple voices and viewpoints when discussing global issues.#EYL #YouTubeChannel #RobertFKennedyJr #IsraelPalestine #PresidentialCandidate2024 #PoliticalSeason #Peace #Violence #Civilians #Gaza #Hamas #Israel #Conflict #MilitaryActions #Casualties #Responsibility #InternationalAid  #Leadership #Geopolitics #ComplexIssues #PublicDiscourseOur Sponsors:* Check out Kajabi and use my code EARN for a great deal: https://kajabi.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode of EYL Medium, hosts Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings sit down with special guest Rich Kleiman, co-founder of the media company The Boardroom. They delve into the origins of The Boardroom, its purpose, and the changing dynamic of athletes in media.The Boardroom, co-founded by Rich Kleiman and NBA superstar Kevin Durant, is a media company that focuses on the business of sports and entertainment. As Rich explains, it was born out of the need to tell stories and position their business ventures in a social media-driven world. In 2016, they started their own business, 35 Ventures, which involved managing Kevin's business interests, investments, and philanthropic endeavors. However, they soon realized the importance of having a platform to share their work and amplify their voices.Rich Kleiman understood that simply starting a media business wouldn't be sufficient. They needed to differentiate themselves and find their unique selling point. By embracing their own authenticity and leveraging their experiences in the sports industry, they aimed to create a brand that represented the intersection of sports, entertainment, and business. The Boardroom became the embodiment of this vision, a place where different voices, genders, and perspectives are welcome, and decisions can be made to shape the industry.The hosts discuss the emergence of athletes taking control of their own narratives through media. Contrary to the days when athletes were at the mercy of reporters and media outlets, they now have the power to control their own stories. As Rich puts it, athletes can build entire ecosystems around themselves, collaborating with other creators, athletes, and partners to shape their narratives. This shift empowers athletes to not only be the subject of media stories but to actively participate in producing content and dispelling misconceptions.Beyond storytelling, Rich also speaks about the entrepreneurial mindset that many athletes possess. From an early age, many athletes are exposed to conversations about business and life, ultimately shaping their mindset as young moguls. This trend of athlete moguls allows them to not only control the narrative but also succeed in various business ventures beyond their athletic careers.The conversation takes an interesting turn as Rich discusses his relationship with Kevin Durant, which evolved from agent-client to business partners. Over the course of three years, a foundation of trust was built between them, aided by their shared aspirations to create thriving business ecosystems akin to hip hop labels of the 90s. They recognized the potential of athletes being at the center of these economies and controlling various businesses surrounding their brand.Overall, this episode of EYL Medium offers insights into the motivations behind The Boardroom and the changing landscape of athletes in media. It emphasizes the power of control, authenticity, and finding unique perspectives in an industry that can shape narratives and influence the world. Athletes are becoming more than just players; they are becoming influential entrepreneurs with the ability to build their own lasting legacies.#EYL #EYLMedium #TheBoardroom #RichKleiman #KevinDurant #athletesinmedia #businessofsports #entrepreneurship #mediaempowerment #narrativecontrolOur Sponsors:* Check out Kajabi and use my code EARN for a great deal: https://kajabi.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode of MM Medium, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings discuss politics, lobbying, and the influence of money in American politics. They start by mentioning Joe Biden's birthday and his uphill battle as an incoming president, particularly with millennial voters due to concerns about his foreign policy. They emphasize that politics in the United States is not purely a democracy, but rather influenced by the highest bidder. Lobbying, which involves campaign contributions and direct persuasion of politicians, plays a significant role in shaping policies and decisions.The hosts then engage in a game show-style discussion about the top lobbying groups in politics. They go through the top ten, revealing various interest groups and industries. Surprisingly, the number one lobbying group in 2022 was the National Association of Realtors, which spent a staggering $84 million on lobbying efforts. This high expenditure indicates the influence and vested interests of the real estate industry in shaping policies related to housing.The conversation shifts to the funding of different political agendas and parties. It is revealed that Wall Street, contrary to popular belief, tends to favor Democrats and Republicans almost equally. They split their bets and invest in both parties to ensure influence and representation. The hosts point out that business interests heavily intertwine with politics, as government regulation, taxes, and policies significantly impact the business environment. They emphasize the importance of understanding these connections, particularly for marginalized communities like the Black community.The hosts encourage listeners to recognize that every interest group, including racial or ethnic ones, prioritizes their own agendas and seeks to exert influence in politics. They highlight the power of money in politics and the need for economic empowerment alongside voting power. Without economic leverage, politicians often do not feel compelled to address the specific needs and interests of different communities. They stress the importance of building economic power, as it can be used as leverage to advocate for policy changes that benefit marginalized communities.Ultimately, the hosts urge viewers to be more informed and actively participate in politics beyond just voting. They argue that it is necessary to understand and engage with the financial side of politics to see meaningful changes. By prioritizing economic empowerment and strategic use of resources, marginalized communities can better advocate for their interests and exert meaningful pressure on politicians to address their specific needs.In the YouTube description, it would be beneficial to include relevant hashtags such as #politics, #lobbying, #economicempowerment, #influenceofmoney, and #votingpower. This will help increase the visibility of the video to audiences interested in these topics and create a better connection between the content and potential viewers.

In this episode of EYL Medium, hosts Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings sit down with guest Rich Kleiman, entrepreneur and business partner of NBA superstar Kevin Durant. The conversation revolves around the concept of a family office and how athletes like Durant are changing the narrative of athletes going broke.For those unfamiliar with the term, a family office is an organization set up to manage the finances of high-net-worth individuals or families. In Durant's case, his family office is responsible for managing the multitude of income streams he generates from various sources such as endorsements, investments in public and private equity, and philanthropic endeavors.Kleiman explains that the family office's primary focus is to build generational wealth for Durant and establish a philanthropic legacy in his hometown of PG County. With Durant's active lifestyle as a professional athlete, constantly moving and traveling during the off-season, the family office also takes care of the logistical aspects of his life, such as hiring trainers, chefs, and managing his various investments.The idea of a family office was not exclusively Kleiman's or Durant's, but rather a natural progression that came about when they moved to the Bay Area. Through connections and introductions, they found themselves in the company of influential individuals in the business and investing world. This exposure led Kleiman to quickly learn about the different aspects of investing, from early-stage to series A and series B funding, and build a network of experts to assist them in their ventures.Kleiman emphasizes the importance of focusing on what they truly want to own and believe in, rather than simply investing based on the potential returns. Their portfolio includes investments in sports teams, real estate, and consumer brands, with the goal of building wealth beyond Durant's NBA career and Nike endorsement deal.The conversation also touches on Durant's relatively quiet nature, which may contribute to him not being mentioned as a potential billion-dollar athlete despite his business acumen and successful investments. Kleiman highlights the importance of not only making smart financial decisions but also enjoying and believing in the ventures they undertake.The ultimate goal is to ensure Durant's financial stability and continued income even after he retires from basketball. By diversifying their portfolio and strategically investing in various industries, they aim to create long-term wealth and opportunities.As the conversation wraps up, Kleiman mentions the attractiveness of traditional businesses like Burger King in today's uncertain economic climate. While headlines about cryptocurrency and NFTs may dominate the news, Kleiman sees value in more familiar businesses that offer stability and the assurance that people will always need to eat.In conclusion, this episode sheds light on the importance of a family office in managing the finances and investments of high-net-worth individuals like Kevin Durant. It showcases how athletes are evolving from the stereotype of going broke and instead taking a proactive approach to building generational wealth and making strategic investments. The conversation serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the behind-the-scenes workings of a professional athlete's financial management and investment strategies.#EYL #EYLMedium #KevinDurant #RichKleiman #FamilyOffice #AthleteInvesting #GenerationalWealth #Philanthropy #Investments #SportsInvesting #BusinessManagement #FinancialStability #DiversifiedPortfolio #TraditionalBusinesses #BurgerKing #NBA #Entrepreneurship #WealthBuilding Our Sponsors:* Check out Kajabi and use my code EARN for a great deal: https://kajabi.com/* Check out Shopify and use my code leisure for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

He points out that the market has been volatile for the past couple of years, with rising interest rates and a decrease in interest in buying US debt. He also mentions geopolitical issues, such as China's reduced purchases of Boeing airplanes, which contribute to the current climate of uncertainty.While the hosts acknowledge that the current situation is not ideal, they also highlight the potential opportunities for investors. Ian believes that the lack of positive news and outcomes in the current environment actually makes it a good time to invest.

In this episode of the EYL YouTube channel, hosts Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings welcome special guest Isaac Hayes III to discuss his recent milestone achievement in the world of equity crowdfunding. Isaac Hayes III made history by becoming the first black man to raise $10 million through a Reg CF (Regulation Crowdfunding) campaign.The conversation begins with a brief explanation of what Reg CF equity crowdfunding is and why it is significant. Isaac explains that minorities, including African Americans, often face difficulties raising capital for their businesses, with limited access to loans and venture capital. However, the JOBS Act, initiated by former President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in 2012 and enacted in 2015, allows any person to raise capital from the general public for their business, regardless of net worth or annual income, up to $1 million. This regulation has opened doors for entrepreneurs like Isaac to raise funds from non-accredited investors and support their small businesses.Moving forward, the hosts inquire about advice and insights for those looking to break into the tech space. Isaac emphasizes that there is no limit to what people can achieve. He encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to study and learn the landscape of their desired field. Isaac also reflects on his own journey and expresses gratitude for taking his own path rather than following others. He believes that his inexperience in the tech space allowed him to be more creative and avoid potential dead ends.The conversation then shifts to address concerns about larger companies taking ideas and creativity from smaller businesses. Isaac reassures that there is enough room for everyone and that social media platforms have lifespans. He considers fanbase, his own platform, as a future successor to larger platforms. Isaac asserts that black culture has a history of innovation in technology, and tech companies often take ideas from the community to develop new technologies.The discussion further delves into the intricacies of equity crowdfunding. Rashad raises concerns about investor education, as lack of understanding can lead to misconceptions and potential scams. Isaac provides insights into the process, emphasizing the distinction between post-IPO and pre-IPO investing. He explains the accredited investor rule, which limits access to early-stage company investments to those with a high net worth or substantial income. Equity crowdfunding, on the other hand, allows people to invest smaller amounts, creating opportunities for individuals who might not have the means to invest large sums.The hosts conclude by discussing fundraising strategies and determining the amount to be raised. Isaac highlights the importance of balancing equity and valuation, ensuring that the company retains enough value while raising the necessary funds. He shares his approach of keeping valuations reasonable and avoiding giving away excessive equity, thereby increasing his leverage in the long run.Overall, this episode sheds light on the significance of equity crowdfunding, the obstacles faced by minority entrepreneurs, and the innovative potential of the black community in the tech space. Isaac Hayes III's achievement serves as inspiration and motivation for aspiring entrepreneurs looking to pave their own paths in the business world.#EYL #EquityCrowdfunding #RegCF #IsaacHayesIII #MinorityEntrepreneurs #TechSpace #BlackCultureInnovation #InvestingInsights #StartupFundraising #ValuationStrategies #FinancialEducationOur Sponsors:* Check out Kajabi and use my code EARN for a great deal: https://kajabi.com/* Check out Shopify and use my code leisure for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode of EYL, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings discuss why the legendary investor Warren Buffett is hoarding a record-breaking stockpile of cash. With a staggering $157 billion in cash reserves, Berkshire Halfway's strategy has caught the attention of investors and economists alike.Ian Dunlap emphasizes that Warren Buffett's large cash reserve indicates a lack of investable assets in the current market. He suggests that commercial real estate, especially in San Francisco, may be overvalued, and a potential bubble is on the verge of bursting. The city's significant homeless issue and potential bankruptcy risk further support this claim. When the bubble does burst, having ample cash on hand allows investors like Buffett to swoop in and purchase assets at the right price.Ian Dunlap also points out the importance of timing in the market. He advises against buying assets solely based on hype or current trends, and instead urges investors to look at macro opportunities. Notably, famous investors like Druckenmiller, Jones, Buffett, and Blackrock are not aggressively buying at the moment, suggesting that it may not be the right time to enter the market.Rashad Bilal adds that hoarding cash serves as a preparation for a rainy day. Being prepared allows investors to seize opportunities when they arise, while others get drenched. Warren Buffett's strategic plan in accumulating cash is not accidental but a deliberate approach to maximize future investments.Troy Millings brings attention to the travel tendencies of investors like Warren Buffett. By analyzing their travel destinations and the thriving economies in those regions, investors can gain insights into their next investment moves. Millings highlights Buffett's visits to China, Taiwan, and conversations about the semiconductor industry as indications of his interests and potential investment directions.The discussion also touches upon the significance of Apple in Buffett's portfolio. Apple has become a safe investment option, outperforming bonds and providing steady returns. Ian Dunlap suggests that investing in companies and opportunities that offer safety and consistent returns is crucial, as not many investments can deliver extraordinary profits.Finally, the hosts urge viewers to recognize the importance of making informed investment choices and finding reliable sources for financial advice. Ian Dunlap encourages those who have benefited from his investment strategies to acknowledge it, emphasizing the rarity of individuals who consistently generate profits for others.This episode of EYL delves into the reasons behind Warren Buffett's cash hoarding strategy and the implications it may have for the overall economy. It offers valuable insights and prompts viewers to consider the macroeconomic factors influencing investment decisions. Tune in to understand why one of the world's most successful investors is opting for cash as the best bet for future opportunities.#WarrenBuffett #Investing #CashReserves #Economy #AssetInvestment #CommercialRealEstate #MarketBubble #TravelTendencies #InvestmentStrategy #Apple #InvestmentSafety #FinancialAdvice #EYL #Entrepreneurship #FinanceDiscussionOur Sponsors:* Check out Kajabi and use my code EARN for a great deal: https://kajabi.com/* Check out Shopify and use my code leisure for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this EYL video, Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings engage in an insightful conversation with Derrick Hayes, the owner of a popular restaurant franchise. The focus of the discussion centers around the process of franchising his business and the reasons behind its immense popularity.Derrick begins by sharing his decision to hold off on franchising a few years back because his gut feeling wasn't fully aligned with the idea. He emphasizes the importance of trusting his instincts over his heart and mind, as his gut never lies to him. Instead of rushing into expansion, he waited for the right time to ensure sustainable growth and avoid jeopardizing everything he had built.He also mentions how he deliberately keeps his franchise's valuation and evaluation under wraps. While he could potentially attract more opportunities and attention by revealing these figures, Derrick wants others to focus on the work he is doing instead. He aims to prove himself through actions rather than numbers and prefers to prioritize long-term success over immediate gains.When asked about the franchise process, Derrick explains that it took him about a year and a half to put together the franchise disclosure document (FDD), which serves as the blueprint for potential franchisees. He highlights the significance of item 19 in the FDD, which includes financial details that potential franchisees review before making a decision. Derrick expresses the importance of having strong financials and ensuring the bottom line and top line are in great shape.The conversation delves into the criteria for individuals interested in franchising Derrick's restaurant. The primary requirement is having the necessary capital. Once the financials are sorted, applicants fill out the paperwork and the process continues with Derrick's broker. Prospective franchisees visit the facilities, and ultimately, Derrick makes the final decision after personally meeting and gauging the energy of the applicants. Derrick considers it a blessing to have his wife, Pinky, involved in this decision-making process, as they can support and guide each other.The hosts also touch upon the idea of branching out into different locations and using the growth of Pinky's brand as a metric. Derrick reveals that they often use each other as guinea pigs to test markets and learn from each other's experiences. They analyze sales numbers and demographics to make informed decisions on opening new locations. Derrick boasts about the strong customer base they have established over time, which has helped them navigate challenging times and outperform competitors and industry standards.A key factor contributing to Derrick's continued success is his commitment to philanthropy and community involvement, especially during the pandemic. When COVID hit, he stepped up by feeding customers and hospitals, showcasing his dedication to giving back. Derrick believes that this level of commitment has earned him respect and loyalty from the community, who see him as a business owner in it for the long haul. Despite the difficult times faced by other restaurants, Derrick has been able to open new locations due to the trust and support he has gained through his philanthropic efforts.As the discussion comes to a close, Derrick reflects on his journey and expresses gratitude for being in a different space compared to struggling restaurant owners. While acknowledging the challenges faced by others, he shares his perspective on how his community involvement has contributed to his success and the flourishing of his franchise.Overall, this EYL video provides valuable insights into the franchise process and the factors that have propelled Derrick Hayes' restaurant to popularity. The conversation underscores the importance of trusting one's instincts, prioritizing sustainable growth, and making a positive impact on the community. #EYL #FranchiseProcess #RestaurantFranchise #BusinessGrowth #CommunityInvolvement #PhilanthropyOur Sponsors:* Check out Kajabi and use my code EARN for a great deal: https://kajabi.com/* Check out Shopify and use my code leisure for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this eye-opening episode of EYL, hosts Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings sit down with guest Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to discuss reparations and prison reform. Kennedy shares his comprehensive approach to economic development in black communities and highlights the importance of equity and homeownership as essential components of economic empowerment.Kennedy acknowledges the moral argument for reparations but argues that race-based reparations would be unconstitutional based on a recent Supreme Court decision in the Harvard case. Instead, he advocates for a more inclusive approach to economic development in black neighborhoods, drawing upon his 35-year experience on the board of directors of Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation. He emphasizes the need to address the systematic stripping of equity, particularly in terms of homeownership, from black communities, noting that by 2030, there may be essentially zero black equity left in the United States.The guest also addresses the underlying issues faced by black businesses, such as the lack of accrued business knowledge and mentorship within black communities. Drawing from his experience with Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, Kennedy highlights the importance of providing mentorship opportunities to foster entrepreneurial growth and business development in black neighborhoods.Moving on to the topic of criminal justice reform, Kennedy expresses his concerns about the 1986 and 1994 Criminal Justice Acts, which he claims have had a devastating impact on the African American community. He specifically highlights the disparities in sentencing between crack cocaine and powder cocaine offenses, where black individuals received much harsher penalties for crack cocaine-related offenses. He criticizes these laws for disproportionately affecting nonviolent offenders and leading to the destruction of an entire generation of black Americans.Kennedy emphasizes the need for prison reform and rehabilitation, advocating for providing training, education, and opportunities for inmates upon their release. He shares his vision of replacing prisons with farm drug rehabs and healing farms in rural communities, where individuals struggling with drug addiction, depression, or psychiatric drug dependence can receive holistic support, job training, and educational opportunities to reintegrate into society successfully.During the conversation, Kennedy also addresses the cultural impact of mass incarceration, noting that it has influenced various aspects of black culture, including music. He clarifies that he does not have any negative intent towards rap music but highlights the negative consequences of mass incarceration on the identity and potential of black individuals.In response to a question about combating the lucrative private prison industry, Kennedy acknowledges the need for a multifaceted approach and seeks suggestions from the hosts. He shares his commitment to implementing educational programs and ensuring access to recovery and rehabilitation programs for federal prisoners. Kennedy encourages innovation by identifying and adopting successful model programs from around the country.This thought-provoking episode sheds light on the importance of economic empowerment, the need for equitable opportunities in black communities, and the urgency for comprehensive criminal justice reform.

In this episode of EYL, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dive into the recent news that the US Treasury will be borrowing a staggering $776 billion in the final three months of this year. This announcement comes on the heels of the government's projection of a $1.7 trillion budget deficit for fiscal year 2023. The hosts discuss the implications of this massive borrowing on the stock market and the overall economy.Ian Dunlap is not one to mince words, as he delivers a stark assessment of the situation. He expresses his concerns about the country's mounting debt and how it is negatively impacting our geopolitical standing. He believes that our aggressive approach has resulted in us being viewed as bullies in the eyes of the world. With the bond market in shambles and the small-cap market destroyed, Dunlap paints a bleak picture of the future.Troy Millings provides some context to help viewers better grasp the gravity of the situation. He explains the relationship between bond yields and prices, and how the treasury's issuance of more bonds can lead to higher yields. While some may argue that the borrowing came in lower than expected, Millings highlights the fact that the upcoming first quarter of 2024 will see an ask of over $816 billion, the largest in the history of America. The bond market is indeed in shambles.The hosts delve into the stock market's roller coaster ride, with mid-cap stocks taking a significant hit and only a handful of companies performing well.

The Spotify example serves as a reminder of how the economy's troubles trickle down to other sectors.In a shift towards discussing the need for diversity in political leadership, Bilal voices his belief that relying solely on old white men is unsustainable. He argues that without a diverse range of perspectives and understanding of what's happening on the ground, the entire political structure is at risk. He criticizes the lack of understanding and cultural divide at the top, particularly in regards to millennials and their access to credible news sources.As the conversation continues, the hosts highlight the disconnect between those in power and the changing tides of public opinion.
