How did you get into the field that you are in today?
It took me several years to understand that I am good with numbers; and is a natural born leader. So I put two and two together and created my business: Po’Boy Finance. Which helps felons, rappers, HBCU students and teenage youths of the community with their economic disparities. This encourage me to create the Po’Boy Finance brand.
What do you love most about your profession?
I love the fact that individuals can learned from my knowledge and utilize it. Which is the analytical and abstract way of thinking and going about things.
Tell us more about what you do?
As for financial advising being the main occupation. I also do community activist work. I am the founder and leader of the Black Oligarchy. Which stemmed from BGF and has the Black Panther role. My organization give back to the communities with health products, gift cards, valuable books, and motivational speeches. I also have a book in the workings called: Shorty40 the Game.
When did you discover that you had a passion for this field?
After learning about the Moors, Haitian revolution, and Idi Amin in my sophomore year of college. Which were Black men who stood firm and held dictatorship not settling for less. These men build their countries to be progressive and honorable despite being the lower tier of society. This motivated me to do more for the community.
Who in your field do you look up to inspire to be like or admire and why?
I honor my Uncle who is an underwriter. But he has a wide range of knowledge in the finance field. Simply because he taught me every math subject and works with people in every Finance occupation.
None of us would be where we are today if it wasn’t for some form of mentorship or free game being dropped on us. What gems do you have to give to someone looking to get into your field?
I would juice them up with 5 advices:
1) Take heed in who you know AND what you know. Both are essential.
2) Make experience your best teacher.
3) Have an attorney on speed dial.
4 ) Buy Cryptocurrency and keep up with the digital upgrading.
5) Make being a risk taker a strength.
Where are you from?
Dallas, TX
How was it growing up? Was it always or were there struggles? What are some of the struggles you had to overcome?
I was a young, ambitious and wise kid growing up in Central North Dallas. The obstacles arose in middle school (Benjamin Franklin) competing against silver spoon classmates who were favored. Moving to East Oakland became a lil more treacherous to me because I learned the foul and raw nature of women. I had to remain a Prodigious Individual Making Progress.
How important is family and friend support? Do they support your business?
Family is very essential because generational wealth starts there. Which stems from a strong support system. I’ve created a powerhouse family structure for those that support me. Meaning we practice group economics. And for that reason every dollar comes back to us.
What would you tell a younger you about life?
I would pull myself to the side and tell myself to believe in Mother Nature. She will introduce you to prosperity, grief, sickness, greatness, disappointment, betrayal, the unfortunate, and the unknown. Obey her order and you will blossom.
Who inspired you growing up and why?
I was not inspired by an individual, but moreover to entities. Such as the Marines, the NBA or hip hop industry. Because being the top gentleman in charge with power and riches was just ingrained in me.
