New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Michael Woodward. Interview Overview Guest: Michael WoodwardHost: Rushion McDonaldShow: Money Making Conversations MasterclassFocus: Entrepreneurship, real estate, education, overcoming poverty, and building generational wealthCompany Featured: Woodward Property Group Michael Woodward shares his journey from growing up in low‑income neighborhoods in Miami to becoming a successful real estate investor, contractor, and property management entrepreneur based in Atlanta. The conversation blends personal history, mindset lessons, and practical business guidance, especially for listeners from underserved communities. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: Demystify success for everyday people by showing how discipline, education, and calculated risk can lead to financial freedom Inspire listeners to move beyond circumstances of poverty or limitation Teach practical strategies around education choices, real estate investing, side hustles, credit management, and seizing opportunity Highlight community impact, mentorship, and “reaching back” to help others Rushion McDonald consistently frames the discussion around helping the audience “stop reading other people’s success stories and start planning your own." Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Poverty Is Relative — and Often Invisible Woodward explains that many people grow up in poverty without realizing it because everyone around them shares the same conditions. He distinguishes between government definitions of poverty and lived experience. Takeaway: Awareness is the first step to change; normal does not always mean acceptable. 2. Early Business Lessons Came from the Community Woodward credits his grandmother—who ran an informal candy business in the housing projects—as his first exposure to entrepreneurship. Watching her manage inventory, customers, and cash taught him foundational business principles. Takeaway: Entrepreneurship often begins long before formal education—especially in underserved communities. 3. Education as a Strategic Tool, Not Just a Degree Initially planning to become a lawyer, Woodward changed direction after realizing law school would not provide the financial or social return he hoped for unless he reached elite status. A mentor guided him toward education as a pathway for impact. He strongly recommends the Occupational Outlook Handbook as a practical guide for choosing careers based on income, longevity, and demand. Takeaway: Choose education intentionally—based on outcomes, not prestige. 4. Service Before Profit: Two Decades in Education Woodward spent over 20 years as a teacher and assistant principal, mentoring students, organizing college tours, and running summer STEM programs—often during his breaks. Takeaway: Long‑term service builds perspective, discipline, and purpose that later pays dividends in business. 5. Turning a Side Hustle into Financial Freedom While working in education, Woodward renovated homes at night and on weekends. Over time, rental income exceeded his school salary, allowing him to retire from education and focus on real estate full‑time. Takeaway: Side hustles can become exit strategies when managed consistently and patiently. 6. Opportunity Comes from Relationships A chance relationship with a Lowe’s executive changed Woodward’s business trajectory. When asked if he could do high‑end kitchens, he said yes—then partnered with the right experts to deliver. This led to contracts in seven Lowe’s stores across metro Atlanta. Takeaway: You don’t have to know everything—just know who to call. 7. High‑End Thinking Changes Income Ceilings Woodward explains the difference between standard and high‑end construction, describing six‑figure kitchens and appliances that cost more than many homes. Takeaway: Understanding premium markets unlocks entirely different financial opportunities. 8. Two Core Business Rules: Persistence and Credit When asked what advice he gives most often, Woodward gives two principles: Never give up Protect your credit He shares how poor credit once forced him to reinvest profits just to buy tools, slowing growth. Managing credit later removed those barriers. Takeaway: Credit is leverage. Without it, growth is harder and more expensive. Notable Quotes On poverty: “A lot of people living in poverty don’t know that they’re impoverished because everybody around them looks just like them.” On education choices: “I wanted to make a difference… and education allowed me to do that.” On opportunity and courage: “You don’t have to know everything. Just get the people in your corner that do.” On advice to entrepreneurs: “Never give up. And protect your credit. Credit is everything.” On consistency: “My phone number has been the same for 23 years. I ain’t going nowhere. Overall Impact The interview positions Michael Woodward as a practical role model—someone who combines humility, preparation, faith, and execution. Rather than promoting quick wins, the conversation emphasizes long‑term discipline, community uplift, and strategic decision‑making. Core message: Sustainable success is built step‑by‑step—through education, relationships, credit discipline, and the courage to say yes before you feel ready. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Social housing and support services are concerned about changes they say will make life worse for thousands of the country's poorest tenants. Political reporter Lauren Crimp reports

"Cities across the globe have experienced urban blight, where districts that have seen a significant downturn in fortunes are abandoned, residential and business properties left vacant. Responding to this change in fortunes is becoming an industry in itself."What Causes Urban Blight -And What Can Be Done About it" ~ blog.bluebeam.comMy Guest This Week Has Success in helping Real Estate Properties & Communities RevitalizeBlighted is a powerful narrative about the decades-long decay and remarkable two-year reinvention of Summerdale, an aging apartment community located in one of Atlanta's grittiest corridors. From burnt-out, mold-infested buildings to traumatized classrooms, Blighted unfolds in the voices of ruthless drug dealers, phantom tenants, fearless landlords, the working poor, educators, and visionary local leaders.After purchasing the property from an absentee overseas owner, Marjy Stagmeier and her partners methodically tackled the crisis festering inside the gated 244-unit apartment property. Two years of relentless work later, Stagmeier reveals how the team that she led built community from chaos. Through on-the-ground, in-the-moment interviews with a wide range of stakeholders, Stagmeier demonstrates how marginalized housing perpetuates intergenerational poverty and the collapse of nearby public schools while showing the multifaceted challenges of improving dire living conditions.Blighted offers a unique insider perspective of the political, human, and economic challenges of delivering equitable housing in a market fueled by inflationary prices, insatiable demand, and competing and often dubious agendas. Summerdale's success is a bright model of how affordable housing, education, healthcare, and social capital can interconnect to build vibrant, sustainable communities―affordable housing communities, nearby schools, and the community at large. From there, kids, families, working people, and neighborhoods can thrive.© 2026 Building Abundant Success!!2026 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Radio @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Jimmy-Buffet-Maxxing. That is what we're doing. Anna and Raven are participating in this. Enjoying life, taking it day by day with a margarita. Who are you “maxxing”?  Is it early COVID vibes again? Anna and Raven give their predictions on what's to come with the “Hantavirus”. Do people want to get locked down again to make money for nothing?!  Ravens' favorite popcorn was on sale when he went to Costco this weekend, and he was more excited than he should have been. Anna says this classifies him as old now. What makes you excited now that you are older?  When was the last time you had fun? Anna thinks she is not having as much fun as she should. Producer Sophia, Producer Justin and Raven explain the last extra fun time they had.  You can't question TSA! Anna is scared her husband will say something wrong in an airport sometimes. This TSA worker went viral for explaining her strange TSA encounters. Paul, Anna's husband, will probably be on it soon enough.  There has been a surge of Etsy witches recently, so Anna and Raven had to speak to one. Then... Anna became one. She is now channeling her powers with her disappointing Mother's Day gift. A blessing in disguise! The new teen insult is “Low-income faces”. Run down, no effort, no money for lotion. It's going around... Anna, Raven, Producer Justin and Sophia all explain their biggest insults ever received.  Lisa ran over a bike that a kid left in the street behind their driveway. She drove over it and didn't even realize. Afterward she ran it over, she got out of the car and left it on the side of the road. The child's parents from down the street called her husband, Jack, and asked that she replace the bike since she ran over it. Or at least contribute $75 towards a new bike. She refuses to because why was it in her driveway/road to begin with? They said their son had just left it there for a minute while he was knocking on a neighbor's door before school. Her husband says they should just pay for it; she ran over it! She says no way. What would you do? Alison has a chance to win $400! All he has to do is answer more pop culture questions than Raven in Can't Beat Raven!   

National estimates show 80,000 Virginians could see reductions to their WIC fruit and vegetable benefits under a proposed federal spending bill.

A proposed rule change for obtaining Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits could reduce or eliminate income for some 400,000 adults with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities who live with low-income relatives, according to a new analysis from ProPublica. It's a change that advocates worry will further burden disabled people and their families — and could make it harder for disabled people to stay in their homes instead of institutions. We talk with disability rights advocates about the proposed changes and the shifting landscape for people with disabilities under the Trump Administration. Guests: Eli Hager, reporter, ProPublica; his recent article is, “The Trump Administration Aims to Penalize Disabled Adults Who Live With Their Families” Kristen Pedersen, executive director, The Arc San Francisco Eric Harris, associate executive director of external affairs, Disability Rights California Learn more about your ad choices.

Daniel Laurison is a Professor of Sociology at Swarthmore College who focuses on class, social mobility, and racial inequality in US politics. He has recently released a report titled "The Political Disconnect: Working-Class and Low-Income People On What Politics Means to Them and How They Might be Mobilized." These citizens are not abstaining from voting because they are uninformed or apathetic. Rather, they think their vote does not matter and that politics is a game for wealthy elites. We talk about: Methodology of this qualitative study on political participation  How voters perceive the connection between voting and tangible improvements in their lives Recommendations for politicians to engage in genuine two-way conversations with communities outside of election season Need to increase the number of working-class and low-income people in all aspects of politics, including working on campaigns, running for office, and local organizing #DanielLaurison #CampaignStrategy #PoliticalEngagement #WorkingClassVoters #LowIncomeVoters #Nonvoters #RelationalOrganizing #FieldStrategy #VoterContact #PoliticalInclusion #RepresentationMatters #ClassInPolitics #CivicEngagement #DigitalPolitics #CampaignProfessionals Strengthening Political Engagement Daniel Laurison   

16. Headline: The Marriage Penalty: How Welfare Policies Undermine Stable Families Guest: Veronique de RugySummary: Current US government policies create a "marriage penalty" that discourages low-income couples from marrying to avoid losing welfare benefits. Veronique de Rugy argues that these incentives contribute to a decline in intact marriages, which has significant negative long-term effects on children's education and achievement. 161880 WIEN

The Oregon justice system imposes fees, fines and restitution on people found guilty of a wide range of crimes. These different kinds of financial penalties are having a severe and disproportionate impact on people of color and those in low- income neighborhoods and rural communities, according to a new report called “The Price of Justice in Oregon.” The broad look at jurisdictions all over the state was years in the making and resulted from the combined efforts of the Oregon Justice Resource Center, the Policy Advocacy Clinic at the UC Berkeley School of Law, and the Portland-based CLEAR Clinic, which provides free legal services to Oregonians. We get more details and the report’s policy recommendations from Portlander Gus Patel-Tupper with the UC Berkeley School of Law.

If you've ever caught yourself thinking “I can't charge those prices because of where I live,” this episode is here to gently call you out. Profitability in flower farming has a lot less to do with your zip code and a lot more to do with your process, your systems, and your ability to match real demand in your area. High prices don't equal high profit, especially when bigger markets come with bigger expenses. In smaller towns or lower income areas, lower overhead can actually give you a real advantage if you understand your costs and price with intention. This episode walks through practical ways to build a profitable flower farm business right where you are, from a la carte weddings to farmers markets to becoming the go to flower source in your community. You'll also learn how to use a simple SWOT analysis to identify opportunities, avoid common traps like underpricing, and make clearer decisions that actually move your business forward.Did you enjoy this episode?

April 1, 2026- State Senate Health Committee Chair Gustavo Rivera, a Bronx Democrat, explains a proposal to ensure that more than 400,000 New Yorkers poised to lose their government health insurance this summer will still be covered by the state.

Louisiana recently banned the purchase of some junk food with SNAP benefits. Louisiana State Senator Patrick McMath, who authored the bill last session, joins Dave Cohen to discuss the immediate results of the ban and if it will "Make Louisiana Health Again" in the long term.

NOCO President and CEO Michael Casciano discusses how the company is expanding energy efficiency programs to help low- to moderate-income households in Western New York reduce energy costs.

On March 4, the provincial government announced that it was making amendments to the Residential Tenancy Act to provide new tools to address health and safety issues in supportive housing. Christine Boyle, Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs, said that the changes to the Act came in response to calls from operators of supportive housing. However, tenant advocates say this is the latest iteration of a political campaign to erode the rights of low-income tenants in BC. We speak with Danielle Sabelli, a lawyer at the Community Legal Assistance Society.

SNAP Recipients Sue Over Soda & Candy Ban | Should Food Stamps Restrict What People Buy? Food stamp recipients are suing the U.S. Department of Agriculture over new restrictions that block SNAP benefits from being used to purchase soda, energy drinks, candy, and sugary desserts. Since May, the USDA has approved waivers in 22 states allowing limits on what SNAP recipients can buy with their benefits. Supporters say the policy promotes better health and responsible spending of taxpayer money. Critics argue the restrictions are unlawful, stigmatizing, and make it harder for low-income Americans to manage their lives. So the big question is: Should the government control what poor people buy with food stamps? At the same time, the war that was supposed to end quickly is now entering another week, and gas prices are rising again. What's the long-term strategy—and does Trump actually have an end game?

In their analysis released Tuesday, Marc Lee and Andrew Longhurst say the budget lays a financial burden on the poorest in BC. Marc Lee is an economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. He joins me today to talk about this week's provincial budget.

The good news is that Trump is finally admitting data centers are sucking out energy. Now it's time he realizes China is beating us with a much smarter approach that doesn't require such investment. Next, we're joined by Rebecca Bextel, a local conservative activist in Teton County, Wyoming, who has exposed the low-income housing program as a bigger scam and grift than the Somali food and day-care scandal. She explains how local housing authorities use unlimited federal funds to pay off wealthy private equity firms to build unnecessary Section 8 housing in beautiful parts of the country. They are often exempt from property tax and zoning laws, violate eligibility criteria, and line their pockets while dumping out-of-state criminals and drugs into “Ghettostone” slums in the middle of the heartland. This is happening all across the country.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"Cities across the globe have experienced urban blight, where districts that have seen a significant downturn in fortunes are abandoned, residential and business properties left vacant. Responding to this change in fortunes is becoming an industry in itself."What Causes Urban Blight -And What Can Be Done About it" ~ February 2023  blog.bluebeam.comMy Guest This Week Has Success in helping Real Estate Properties & Communities RevitalizeBlighted is a powerful narrative about the decades-long decay and remarkable two-year reinvention of Summerdale, an aging apartment community located in one of Atlanta's grittiest corridors. From burnt-out, mold-infested buildings to traumatized classrooms, Blighted unfolds in the voices of ruthless drug dealers, phantom tenants, fearless landlords, the working poor, educators, and visionary local leaders.After purchasing the property from an absentee overseas owner, Marjy Stagmeier and her partners methodically tackled the crisis festering inside the gated 244-unit apartment property. Two years of relentless work later, Stagmeier reveals how the team that she led built community from chaos. Through on-the-ground, in-the-moment interviews with a wide range of stakeholders, Stagmeier demonstrates how marginalized housing perpetuates intergenerational poverty and the collapse of nearby public schools while showing the multifaceted challenges of improving dire living conditions.Blighted offers a unique insider perspective of the political, human, and economic challenges of delivering equitable housing in a market fueled by inflationary prices, insatiable demand, and competing and often dubious agendas. Summerdale's success is a bright model of how affordable housing, education, healthcare, and social capital can interconnect to build vibrant, sustainable communities―affordable housing communities, nearby schools, and the community at large. From there, kids, families, working people, and neighborhoods can thrive.© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Radio @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

A major UK group litigation has been launched against Johnson & Johnson, involving approximately 3,000 claimants who allege they developed cancers due to asbestos-contaminated talc products. The company is accused of negligence and deceit. Johnson & Johnson deny the allegations. The BBC Health reporter, Chloe Hayward, joins Anita Rani to talk about what is known so far.Surrogacy and its impact is the subject of a new report by the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem. In 2023, the global surrogacy market was valued at nearly $15 billion and is projected to reach almost $100 billion in the next eight years. Here in the UK commercial surrogacy is illegal - surrogacy has to be altruistic, meaning only expenses are paid for and the motivation behind it is typically helping someone else. It is legal, however, to have a child in another country where the rules may differ. To discuss the ethics of the practice, Anita is joined by Reem Alsalem and Sarah Jones, CEO of Surrogacy UK.Karen Carney is one of the most capped female footballers for England. The former Lioness joins Anita to talk about how she is using Strictly to help her 'rebuild confidence' after being 'crushed' by the sexist abuse she faced as a football pundit and her vision to improve women's sport.Children with special educational needs from low-income families are facing major inequalities in access to support, according to a new report out today from the Sutton Trust. Anita is joined by Charlotte O'Regan, Senior Schools Engagement Manager at the Sutton Trust, lead author of the report Double Disadvantage, to talk about its findings.
