This payday, Amber and Erika explore the legacy of Black capitalism through a historical and political lens with longtime Broke-ish all-star, Dr. Jared Ball. The conversation centers on whether Black capitalism is a viable path to liberation or whether it ultimately reinforces the same systems of inequality it claims to solve. Using the examples of Pinky Cole of Slutty Vegan; Fawn Weaver of Uncle Nearest; and Jay-Z's recent interview with GQ, we highlight how capitalism consistently fails most Black people and only benefits a select few. These stories remind us that entrepreneurship and business ownership alone cannot the close racial wealth gap, and we must critically examine capitalism as a structure and its prolific failures. Tune in to join the conversation!

This episode kicks off with dramatic global headlines, celebrity chaos, and major reality‑TV shakeups. The team breaks down the deadly confrontation between a Florida‑registered speedboat and the Cuban Coast Guard, a shootout that left four people dead and six injured.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Pinky Cole. If one were to use the words “sexy” and “vegetable” in a sentence, they would probably never be said one after the other. However, the Slutty Vegan's own Pinky Cole begs to differ as she encourages people to #GetSlutty with her plant-based foods for vegans and meat-lovers alike. Join her as she guests stars on the Money Making Conversations Master Class, and try not to drool as she shares some delicious recipes from her book, “Eat Plants, B****.” In addition to food, Pinky outlines the importance of how betting on yourself, even if the world doesn't understand the idea that you are trying to create, can lead to significant returns if you have a plan in place that is true to your purpose and what you want to see in your life.Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's hard to miss a Slutty Vegan when you're driving past one. No, we're not talking about a person… We're talking about a fast-casual burger chain — and a vegan one at that! Since launching Slutty Vegan in 2017, Pinky has seen her plant-based brand through several iterations: a ghost kitchen, then a food truck, then eventually several brick and mortar locations that continue to pop up across the east coast. And with a valuation of $100 million and expansion into other sectors, Pinky is only getting started... This week on How I Built This Lab, Pinky talks with Guy about her journey as a TV producer-turned-restaurateur, and how Slutty Vegan is a prime example of Seth Godin's Purple Cow theory: companies must build things worth noticing into their products and services. Plus, Pinky reflects on her roots, sharing the valuable lessons about discipline and work ethic that she learned from her parents. This episode was produced by Carla Esteves and edited by John Isabella, with music from Ramtin Arablouei.
