Advice I would give my 25-year old self

I woke up this morning thinking about when I was a younger black man. A lot of the things that stressed me out back in the day don't matter anymore, and I've seen the world from a different point of view.

Federal debt has ballooned to over $30 trillion dollars and there is a recession just around the corner.

I spoke on some of this today on The Black Financia...

Dr Dre lost $200M in Apple deal because Tyrese could not keep his mouth shut

Today, I did an analysis of an interesting Black Enterprise article regarding how Dr Dre lost $200 million in his deal with Apple.

Because when we teach about protecting your wealth in The Black Business School, it also means protecting your assets against bad choices. You can watch the video here. Feel free to leave your comm...

Is Cash really trash? Well, it depends on how you look at it

Hello, I hope you're doing well. This weekend while visiting the new school started by King Randall in GA, I heard a debate over whether or not investors should hold cash.
