Faith and Finance_ Getting wealthy quickly in your 50's, Pastor Dexter B. Jenkin
Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Pastor Dexter Jenkins. Purpose of the Interview The interview aimed to educate and inspire listeners about wealth creation through real estate and financial literacy, particularly for individuals over 50. Pastor Jenkins shared strategies for building generational wealth, shifting mindsets about money, and leveraging real estate as a primary tool for financial independence. Key Takeaways Intersection of Faith, Finance, and BusinessPastor Jenkins emphasizes that faith and financial success are not mutually exclusive. He advocates using biblical principles as a success manual, especially from Proverbs. Real Estate as “Low-Hanging Fruit” for WealthReal estate is one of the simplest and most effective ways to build wealth because land is finite and historically valuable. Mindset Over MoneyWealth building starts with changing beliefs about money. Many misconceptions learned in childhood or church need to be unlearned. Refire, Don’t RetireFor those over 50, Jenkins encourages leveraging life experience to create new income streams instead of slowing down. Social Security Reality CheckThe average Social Security check (~$1,400/month) is insufficient for most Americans, highlighting the need for personal wealth strategies. The SHIP Method Stewardship: Direct your money intentionally. Ownership: Own assets that appreciate and generate cash flow. Entrepreneurship: Consider business ownership as a wealth-building tool. Education Before ActionStart with learning—books, podcasts, seminars—before diving into real estate or other ventures. Community Wealth BuildingJenkins supports initiatives like “buying back the block” to revitalize neighborhoods and build collective wealth. Secrets to SuccessDesire, planning, education, and execution are essential. Dreams without plans remain dreams. Upcoming ResourcesJenkins is releasing a book: The Real Estate Wealth Creation Blueprint, offering practical steps for using real estate to build wealth. Notable Quotes “Real estate is the lowest hanging fruit on the wealth creation tree.” “People came here to work the land—now it’s time for us to own it.” “It’s not time to retire; it’s time to refire.” “Social Security was designed for a different era. You can’t live on $1,400 a month in America.” “The Bible is more than religion—it’s a success manual.” “If you don’t have a desire for wealth, we can talk all day and nothing will change.” “Stewardship, Ownership, Entrepreneurship—those are the pillars of wealth.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Financial Tip: He educates aspiring millionaires—on financial planning, wealth management, and risk mitigation strategies.
Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Mark Mascarenhas. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to educate listeners—especially entrepreneurs, small business owners, and aspiring millionaires—on financial planning, wealth management, and risk mitigation strategies. It emphasizes the importance of discipline, clarity, and professional guidance in achieving financial success and sustaining wealth across generations. Key Takeaways Financial Planning is Foundational A written financial plan is the first step before any investment portfolio is built. Success is defined individually—financial, health, or lifestyle goals. Diversification & Risk Management Digital assets like Bitcoin should only make up 2–3% of a portfolio for high-net-worth clients with high risk tolerance. Fear and greed drive markets; advisors help clients maintain discipline. Long-Term Care & Insurance Planning for long-term care is essential, typically starting in your 50s. Term life insurance early locks in health; whole life policies provide stability and living benefits. Tax Strategy Use tax-loss harvesting, asset location strategies, and estate planning to minimize tax burdens. Estate planning focuses on transferring wealth tax-efficiently to future generations. Millionaire Mindset Millionaires are clear, disciplined, optimistic, and collaborative. 74% of millionaires work with financial advisors vs. 34% of the general population. Power of Compounding Compounding interest is the cornerstone of wealth accumulation—requires patience and discipline. Avoid lifestyle creep and impulsive spending, especially for younger millionaires and influencers. Fiduciary Responsibility Advisors act in the client’s best interest; success is mutual. Trust and transparency are critical in client-advisor relationships. Notable Quotes On Risk & Bitcoin:“You could potentially double your money, but you could also potentially lose 70% of it.” On Financial Planning:“Every dollar needs a job description.” On Millionaire Mindset:“Successful people view us as CFOs—they’re the CEOs.” On Compounding:“If you could win 72% of the time, would you play that game? Yes. That’s the stock market.” On Retirement Success:“Living the same or better lifestyle in retirement than you do today while working.” On Fiduciary Role:“We make more money when the client makes more money.” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Financial Tips_ OneUnited Bank mission is to provide affordable financial servic
Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kevin Cohee. Purpose of the Interview The interview aimed to: Highlight OneUnited Bank’s mission as the largest Black-owned and first Black-owned internet bank in America. Educate listeners on financial literacy, technology-driven banking, and economic empowerment in underserved communities. Promote OneUnited Bank’s products and services as solutions for financial challenges faced by Black Americans and others lacking access to traditional banking. Key Takeaways Historical Context & Mission The concept of a national Black-owned bank dates back to leaders like Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Martin Luther King Jr., who emphasized economic empowerment. OneUnited Bank was formed through acquisitions and later pivoted to technology-driven banking. Technology & Innovation OneUnited embraced AI and data aggregation over a decade ago to create products that help customers understand assets, liabilities, and net worth in real time. Banking has shifted from physical branches to digital platforms, enabling nationwide access. Financial Literacy Crisis 90% of Americans lack financial literacy, largely because it’s not taught in schools. Cohee advocates for mandatory K–12 financial literacy education, citing studies showing it can add $126,000 to lifetime net worth. Products Designed for Real Needs CashPlease: Short-term emergency loans at affordable rates. Second Chance Checking: Helps rebuild credit. Savings Programs: Often in collaboration with employers. These products address real-life challenges like low emergency savings and predatory check-cashing fees. Accessibility & Reach OneUnited offers nationwide banking via oneunited.com, surcharge-free ATMs, and partnerships with major networks. Customers can deposit checks online and access services without visiting physical branches. Economic Empowerment Technology enables entrepreneurship without owning physical products—leveraging branding and e-commerce. Cohee draws parallels between today’s tech opportunities and the historical wealth-building of Black Wall Street. Notable Quotes “We are FDIC insured, commercial bank like them. The only difference is we’re smarter and we have better technology.” “Technology and AI allow anyone to make decisions like they were an expert.” “If we taught financial literacy in schools, it would create over $100,000 in net worth per person over their lifetime.” “You don’t have to go to check cashers and get ripped off. Just go to oneunited.com.” “We’ve been working on AI for over a decade. We’re not coming to the party—we are the party.” “Our generation has technology and communication skills. We can change society.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Information: Her company provides luxury nursing concierge care, personalized, at‑home, patient‑first nursing services.
Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Shelby Williams. 🌟 Summary of the Shelby Williams Interview (From “Money Making Conversations Masterclass” with Rushion McDonald) The interview features Shelby English Williams, a registered nurse and founder of SEW Nursing, LLC, a luxury concierge nursing firm based in Atlanta. She shares her personal journey from childhood inspiration, to becoming an RN, to ultimately building a business that provides personalized, at‑home, patient‑first nursing services. Shelby also discusses the challenges nurses face, the importance of compassionate care, entrepreneurship in healthcare, and her annual nursing celebration event called the Nursing Shindig. 🎯 Purpose of the Interview The interview serves to: 1. Highlight Shelby Williams’ entrepreneurship journey She demonstrates how nurses can expand beyond traditional clinical roles and launch independent nursing businesses. 2. Educate the audience about concierge nursing Shelby breaks down what “luxury nursing care” means and how her services differ from standard home health and Medicare‑funded care. 3. Inspire nurses to pursue business ownership She provides advice, real stories, and a transparent look into the challenges and rewards of being a nurse‑entrepreneur. 4. Promote her event — the Nursing Shindig An annual celebration and empowerment gathering for nurses. 📌 Key Takeaways 1. Shelby’s Background & Calling Inspired by her church community and early exposure to elders. Knew she wanted to be a nurse since age 3. Progressed through CNA → LPN → RN. Her mother’s example and support kept her going through challenges. 2. COVID‑19 Shaped Her Perspective Was in RN school during the pandemic. Virtual classes, limited hospital access, and intense stress shaped her view of nursing. The pandemic reinforced her commitment rather than discouraging her. 3. Why She Started SEW Nursing, LLC Leadership burnout in assisted living roles. Discovered entrepreneurship via an older nurse on TikTok and a podcast. Realized: “You are your own business as a registered nurse.” Her company provides luxury concierge care, including: Medication management Clinical assessments Wellness visits Healthcare coordination Accompanying clients to doctor appointments Short‑term or situational nursing support 4. What “Luxury Nursing” Means to Her It’s not about extravagance — it’s about meeting patients where they are with: Personalized care In‑home support Time, presence, and dignity Services that standard insurance‑based care can’t provide 5. Her Approach to Care Shelby emphasizes: Service before money Relationship‑building Compassion for families in crisis Making clients feel safe and understood Not being driven by profit in urgent situations She shares a story about driving over an hour on a Sunday to help a client’s mother without charging upfront — because the priority was care, not fees. 6. Hospice Wisdom Shelby reframes the term: Hospice isn’t always the end. Patients can “graduate” off hospice. Hospice includes chaplains, social workers, aides, nurses.

The Nursing Shindig A social + educational event for nurses.Features: VIP entrepreneurship session Workbooks with business steps Keynote speakers Food, DJ, dancing (Cupid Shuffle, Electric Slide) Vendor booths Nurse recognition awards Next event:📅 August 8, 2026 — Atlanta (ATL Experience) 8. Her Message About Nursing & the System Nurses are not properly represented. Staffing ratios are unsafe. Public doesn't realize the burden of caring for 5–7 patients at once. Nurses are mentally, physically, emotionally stretched. Yet many stay because caregiving is a calling. 9. Entrepreneurship Advice for Nurses Write the plan. Make it plain. Stick to it. Fear is real but manageable. Stay committed even with long days and nights. Keep revisiting your business plan.

She didn’t let me quit.” On entrepreneurship “You are your own business as a registered nurse.” “Write the plan and make it plain — and stick to it.” “It takes sacrifice. My bedtime may be 2 or 3 AM sometimes.” On luxury nursing “Meet me where I’m at and provide the care I need — that’s luxury.” On hospice “Hospice doesn’t have to be the end. Some people graduate off hospice.” “While they’re still here, make them comfortable — however comfort looks for them.” On patient families “You’ve done a good job. You set up services. Now let us help you.” On service vs money “It’s not always about the dollar. My reward is your referral.” “I didn’t take a dollar because it wasn’t about that — it was about the care.” On why she keeps returning to the profession “The reward and the service — that’s what brings me back.” Rushion on trust “All you want is for the person you love to be cared for with dignity.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
