Learn how first-generation wealth builders create financial freedom and what stablecoins could mean for your savings. How do you build wealth when you're the first in your family to be able to do so? And can stablecoins really out-earn your savings account? Host Elizabeth Ayoola and Sean Pyles explore generational wealth-building and the myths and realities of stablecoins in a rapidly changing cryptocurrency environment. Joined by entrepreneurs and fiancés Ronne Brown and Courtney Hale, Elizabeth kicks off the first segment with a heartfelt look at how first-generation wealth builders are redefining what it means to be “rich.” Ronne and Courtney share their journeys from modest beginnings to financial independence, relaying how childhood lessons shaped their values, how they built multiple income streams through entrepreneurship, and the steps they're taking to continue building generational wealth together. They discuss the power of investing early, using real estate and the stock market strategically, and protecting assets through estate planning and life insurance. Then, investing writer Sam Taube joins Sean and Elizabeth to break down the difference between Bitcoin and stablecoins — and whether high-yield stablecoins are too good to be true. They explore how the Genius Act changes crypto regulation, how yield-bearing stablecoins compare to high-yield savings accounts, and what risks investors should consider before diving in. They discuss how to find a balance between risk and reward in crypto-based savings options, how stablecoins actually earn yield, and why traditional banking products still offer peace of mind for the risk-averse.

Episode 610 - Marianne Leone - Actor in The Sopranos, Three Stooges, Author of Five Dog Epiphany, Ma Speaks Up And a First-Generation Daughter Talks Back and Jesse A Mother's StoryMarianne Leone grew up seven miles outside of Boston, in the village of Nonantum that everybody called “the Lake,” a small blue-collar enclave of a larger city, Newton. Lake dwellers were pretty evenly divided between Italian and Irish-Americans, with a soupcon of French-Canadians. There was no actual Lake in the Lake. The original had dried up and all that remained during my childhood was a green-slicked puddle on the site of a factory my mother and aunt worked in during World War II. All the Italians in the Lake had migrated from the same southern mountain village, San Donato Val di Comino. My mother and father were both Italian immigrants, but my mom was an outsider, from Sulmona, Abruzzo. My dad owned a small workingman's bar, Leone's Café. I went to Catholic school for twelve years. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a saint, a reporter and a cowboy. I didn't become a saint, but I married a cowboy and sometimes I write for the Boston Globe. I've written a bunch of screenplays, and sold some of them, but I'm unproduced, except for a scene in With/In, a compilation film about the covid lockdown I shot with my husband and write about in FIVE DOG EPIPHANY. I was also lucky enough to play Joanne Moltisanti, Christopher's mother, on HBO's The Sopranos for four seasons. I live in a small town on the south shore of Massachusetts with my husband, Chris Cooper, and two rescue dogs, Titi and Sugar. KNOWING JESSE is about my son, whose luminous presence expanded and transformed everything else in my universe. I wrote the book to celebrate his life, to deal with his death, and to share him with others. MA SPEAKS UP is about my mother, who came to America to escape fascism and an arranged marriage to an old man. FIVE DOG EPIPHANY is about grief/mutual healing/rescue dogs.https://marianneleonecooper.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Calli Williams, first-generation rancher and co-founder of TW Angus near Mitchell, South Dakota, shares what it really takes to build a legacy from the pasture up. Calli shares how every animal on the ranch has intention—from bulls for their annual sale, to steers destined for their direct-to-consumer beef program, to females kept to grow the herd.Calli began sharing life on the ranch via social media, watering cattle, working the land, sharing family moments and in doing so, built more than just visibility for the business; she created real connections between producers and consumers. Today Calli is an advocate for agriculture and shares her stories with others across the world.

“Fail, fail, fail”—except do it prepared. Today I'm joined by Omai Kofi—first-generation millionaire, strategist, and connector—to tear down the myths that keep people stuck. We trace her journey from welfare and odd jobs to 111 documented income streams and real ownership, including the “food-stamp card” identity shock, the 2015 pivot into investing, and how she engineered an environment that pulled her up instead of holding her down.Omai breaks down wealth vehicles that compound your efforts: infinite banking (using properly structured whole life to recapture dollars), real-estate equity plays (HELOCs, cash-out refis), and the principle that money should make more money than your labor. We talk heart-set vs mindset, why courage and preparation beat hype, and how to curate rooms with people who talk wealthy, act wealthy, and build durable systems.We also get brutally honest about accountability—including a missed mortgage payment that nuked a pristine credit score by 110 points, and the exact framework she used to reverse it without lying or blaming. If you're tired of feast-or-famine and ready to build an affluent environment, this is your field manual: tell the truth, upgrade your circle, practice relentlessly, and let capital do the heavy lifting.Check out Dr Omai's website: https://omainetwork.com/bio/Subscribe for full conversations and weekly clips.Share this with someone who needs it today.Comment your biggest takeaway.Sponsor:Order our LOW ACID COFFEE “THE BROADCAST BREW.” Thank you to Cool Beans Coffee Brewery for your partnership.Link: https://www.coolbeanscoffeemi.com/product-page/broadcast-brew-low-acid-blendAboutOur mission is authentic conversation with interesting people across personal growth, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle improvement while keeping it entertaining and informative.SocialsTwitter: https://twitter.com/imdillonenglandLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dillonmengland/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dillon.england.5Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedillonenglandshow/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dillon-england-show--6370921/support.

For parents who have school-aged children, it is the most wonderful time of the year when the children are gone from the house and return to places of learning, or at least someplace other than bothering their parents. We love are children dearly, but loving them when they are somewhere else is a welcome reprieve. Each new school year presents some amount of changes in how education is done. Part of this is rooted in our evolving understanding and adoption of modes of teaching. Even though teaching is by no means a new endeavor, changes in society whether it be the culture, technology, social patterns, media, and the like are going to impact what happens in education. New material might be introduced, new topics explored, new things tried. Education, especially today, can be an idea incubator where experimentation not only needs to happen, but needs to be embraced.At the same time, there are a lot of pressures being exerted on education. Political pressures around the presence or absence of implicit or explicit ideologies. The competition for children's attention, which is being dominated and shaped by technology. Cuts in budgets, resulting in fewer staff members and resources. Teachers being asked to not only teach, but also counsel, care for, emotionally support, and mentor students. There is a lot of going on, and a lot of pressure being exerted from different directions. While pressure can turn coal into diamonds, pressure also can cause things to implode.Good thing that today's guest is with Lasada Pippen, who also goes by LP. LP had a career as an Exchange Administrator and Exchange Messaging Engineer, and if you don't know what that is, you soon will. He was a first-generation college student, majoring in engineering as a way to build economic security that he didn't necessarily have growing up. While achieving that goal, he still felt there was a lot missing, which has led him to his real passion of helping to create change. Today he is a much sought-after speaker and advisor for a range of organizations, including educational institutions. We talk about how he is able to help kids who were just like him in the sense that they weren't motivated to achieve much and didn't have direction or vision. He emphasizes that rather than telling people how they should be doing their jobs, he listens and helps them to think differently about their jobs. He also shares the four simple questions for chasing your dreams: Is it something you love, are you good at it, how can you get paid for it, and how does it help someone else. Lasada Pippen LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lasada-pippen-keynote/Lasada Pippen Website: https://lasadapippen.comLasada Pippen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lasadapippen/

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the upcoming new MBA admissions season. Cambridge / Judge leads the way with its first-round deadline next week! Graham and Alex plan to host monthly AMA-style webinars, as this new admissions season gets underway. The first is scheduled for this Tuesday, on YouTube; here's the link to Clear Admit's YouTube channel so you can subscribe and not miss any of the streaming: https://bit.ly/cayoutubelive. Graham also highlighted the upcoming September series of admissions events, where Clear Admit will host the majority of the top MBA programs to discuss Round 2 application strategy. Signups for this series are here: https://bit.ly/cainsidemba Graham then noted four admissions tips, which focus on areas of key importance for those targeting the first rounds. These include how to engage with representatives of the top MBA programs, the students, alumni and faculty, and how to show that you have done the research for each of your target programs. We also cover the differences in applying in Round 1 and 2, as well as the importance of understanding who reads your business school applications. We also covered a common myth - the higher the rank of the program, the better the fit for all candidates. Graham also highlighted the new series that Clear Admit is publishing this season, which focuses on profiling some of the leading MBA faculty at the top MBA programs. For this week, we have profiles on two faculty from Harvard Business School and from MIT / Sloan. We continue our series of Adcom Q&As; this week we hear from Dartmouth / Tuck, Cornell / Johnson and Northwestern / Kellogg. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is from India and has a modest undergraduate GPA, with a positive trend. They have not yet taken the GMAT. This week's second MBA candidate has a 740 GMAT, and is from rural India. Scholarships are a key concern from them. The final MBA candidate is from Nigeria and has a GRE score of 332. They have some NGO experience and now work as a chartered accountant. They are targeting a nice spread of MBA programs. This episode was recorded in Anse Saint-Jean, Quebec and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

Dana Robb is joined by Kawika Allen and Nathan Ormsby to dispute the notion that men are unnecessary and promote the truth that men are truly valuable and we need to build interdependent relationships to support one another.   “I think all men and husbands should strive to be more nurturing as well. I think it's just helpful for our children to see that modeling of a nurturing father.” - Kawika Allen   “Just showing that emotional support and care is not something that you do often enough, and especially in men. We should be okay to say we care for each other, we're looking out for you, and it's important.” - Nathan Ormsby   “When we're vulnerable with each other, we actually can feel closer and more connected.” - Dana Robb   “It is really helpful for me as a wife to know where he's at [emotionally] and I feel like I have a lot more compassion for him when he's open about what he's feeling or the stresses he's under, the things he is experiencing. I feel like I can then step in and know how to support him a little bit more.” - Dana Robb “A good relationship is built on vulnerability. You need to have that, and talk about deep and meaningful things.” - Nathan Ormsby   “Men who are watching this, give yourself some grace. Give yourself some flexibility, opportunities to learn from mistakes and take those mistakes and improve on them and not let them control your lives, right?  And to stand back up and keep moving forward and trying and striving the best they can in all areas, right? Emotionally, spiritually, physically, mentally. Um, and so again, just give yourself some grace. You know, you're trying your best.” - Kawika Allen   “That's what we need more in our relationships is that recognition. We're doing our best and we're not gonna get it perfectly all the time, and that's okay. We just keep picking it up and we keep trying.” - Dana Robb Whenever presented with the opportunity for adventure, Dana Robb is all in. Currently, this includes riding the local mountain biking trails with her husband, canyoneering, and climbing the hills of southern Utah. She loves to learn and explore with her six kids. She is drawn to the opportunities being involved with Big Ocean Women provides.

Nathan Ormsby brings a diverse and dynamic background to his role as Director of Student Wellness at Brigham Young University.

His professional journey reflects a deep passion for wellness, creative problem-solving, and building inclusive, supportive environments.

Outside of work, Nathan is an avid weightlifter and adventure enthusiast. He and his wife, Jennifer, are proud parents of six children who enjoy swimming, playing pickleball, and sharing laughs over funny videos.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Worn & Wound contributor Tommy DeMauro. Tommy has been writing for Worn & Wound for a little over a year, and his work occupies a very specific niche: accessible, affordable, and highly collectible vintage and neo-vintage watches. Tommy is uniquely obsessed with finding oddball references from years past and studying them deeply, and proves through his research that you don't have to spend much money at all to have something genuinely rare and special. Many of the watches Tommy writes about are eBay finds, and most are well under $500. Some are under $100. All of them, though, have something interesting going on in terms of their history, design, or functionality. In this conversation, Tommy explains how he got into watches in the first place and eventually found his niche with affordable vintage watches. They also discuss some of Tommy's articles that he's written for the website, including guides to the Seiko Orange Monster and the truly unusual Timex Triprix. Tommy also provides some advice to listeners who might be interested in dabbling in this corner of the watch market.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (Indiana UP, 2023)explores Africa's political economy in the first two full decades of independence through the joint projects of nation-building, economic development, and international relations. Drawing on the political careers of four heads of states: Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Ahmed Sékou Touré of Guinea, Léopold Sédar Senghor, and Julius Kambarage Nyerere of Tanzania, Independent Africa engages four major themes: what does it mean to construct an African nation-state and what should an African nation-state look like; how does one grow a tropical economy emerging from European colonialism; how to explore an indigenous model of economic development, a "third way," in the context of a Cold War that had divided the world into two camps; and how to leverage internal resources and external opportunities to diversify agricultural economies and industrialize. Combining aspects of history, economics, and political science, Independent Africa examines the important connections between the first generation of African leaders and the shared ideas that informed their endeavors at nation-building and worldmaking. Professor Akyeampong is the former Oppenheimer Faculty Director of the Harvard University Center for African Studies and the Ellen Gurney Professor of History and of African and African American Studies at Harvard University.

Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (Indiana UP, 2023)explores Africa's political economy in the first two full decades of independence through the joint projects of nation-building, economic development, and international relations. Drawing on the political careers of four heads of states: Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Ahmed Sékou Touré of Guinea, Léopold Sédar Senghor, and Julius Kambarage Nyerere of Tanzania, Independent Africa engages four major themes: what does it mean to construct an African nation-state and what should an African nation-state look like; how does one grow a tropical economy emerging from European colonialism; how to explore an indigenous model of economic development, a "third way," in the context of a Cold War that had divided the world into two camps; and how to leverage internal resources and external opportunities to diversify agricultural economies and industrialize. Combining aspects of history, economics, and political science, Independent Africa examines the important connections between the first generation of African leaders and the shared ideas that informed their endeavors at nation-building and worldmaking. Professor Akyeampong is the former Oppenheimer Faculty Director of the Harvard University Center for African Studies and the Ellen Gurney Professor of History and of African and African American Studies at Harvard University.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Zach Weiss to chat about something that's on everyone's mind as of late: watch pricing.

This episode is dedicated to my family, especially my parents, who I appreciate more and more every year for everything they equipped my arsenal for life with. Happy AAPI month! This week, we are diving into my personal experiences as a first generation female Asian American from growing up in the 90s/2000s to understanding how to break generational habits and trauma as an adult. I chat about the obstacles this specific generation of American-born Asians go through from managing expectations to teaching our elders how to be emotionally equipped and break the chain of harmful cultural beliefs. Lastly, we discuss the phenomenon of "woke" culture and how to properly navigate it as a curious outsider and as an Asian American with the capabilities to educate others. Please keep in mind that this is just touching the surface of my experiences. I did my best to summarize. These are also solely my own experiences, so I am not speaking for anyone but myself. 

Wealth is defined as the people Greg works with as having enough money to do what they want and need to do. They live in a “post-budget world.”  The first-generationwealthy are building their wealth in non-sexy ways, like consistent investing over time. This might be in their own companies or retirement accounts, for example. Most millionaires don't inherit money. They build wealth themselves slowly and consistently over time. All this talk about first-generation wealth begs the question about the second generation. How do you manufacture the hunger?The reasons for financial failure are 1) lack of purpose, 2) lack of a plan, and 3) lack of discipline. That's why the 3 financial superpowers are 1) Power of Purpose, 2) Power of Plan, and 3) Power of Execution. Having a purpose and a plan helps you avoid decision fatigue. You're also easily able to reset if you “mess up.” Having a clear purpose is the most important thing. You don't even need to have a high income! If you haven't started, though, it's important that you getstarted ASAP with an emergency fund (“financial shock absorber”). Having a plan keeps you from comparing yourself to others, which is key. You compare yourself to only yourself. Anybody can do this and become first-generation wealthy.If you liked this episode, you'll also like episode 199: the 3 pillars of prosperity.About Greg:The founder of Luken Wealth Management, Greg Luken.
