Financial Motivator: Insights on Supporting and Scaling Black Businesses with Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center Founding Director Tiffany Bussey.

Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Dr. Tiffany Bussey. As the Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (MIEC) Founding Director, Dr. Tiffany Bussey stands at the helm of profit-yielding partnerships bridging the gap between the supplier diversity initiatives at global brands and multi-million-dollar Black and brown businesses. An engaging dialogue with Dr. Bussey around the ways MIEC creates unique pathways to help minority businesses scale using what she calls the three Cs: Capital, Connections, and Contracts.

Here are some of the interview highlights:

MIEC's engagement with 400 scalable, mid-size minority-owned businesses has been instrumental in creating 850 new Atlanta-based jobs, granting access to $34 million in new capital, and generating nearly $82 million in new revenue growth.

MIEC's unique business education prepares minority business owners to obtain contracts with large firms seeking business-to-business partnerships with small to mid-size businesses.

Atlanta is one of four national accelerator locations for The Clean Tech Infrastructure Academy at Goodwill, a new 4-week program designed to grow the electric vehicle workforce. At the academy, student workers are paid $15 an hour to learn how to install and maintain EV chargers, heat pumps, and solar panels. This training equips them for jobs in the growing electric vehicle industry, where maintenance techs can start earning $30 per hour.

About MIEC:

· Since its inception, MIEC has garnered over $50 million in grants and contracts and positively impacted over 2,100 students.

· MIEC incorporates a holistic approach to supporting the business leaders it serves, providing education, access to capital, procurement opportunities, mentorship, and student involvement.

· 125 minority-owned businesses participating in Ascend Atlanta have experienced an increase in revenue of $13.5 million and have gained access to $5.5 million in capital funding.

Info You Can Use: "1st Generation Rich" explores the dynamics of wealth within families and friendships.

Info You Can Use: "1st Generation Rich" explores the dynamics of wealth within families and friendships.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Troy Hudson. A deeply personal and insightful interview with former NBA player and author Troy “T-Hud” Hudson. Here's a breakdown of the key highlights and takeaways: 🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways 1. First-Generation Wealth Troy Hudson’s book, First Generation Rich, explores the emotional and financial complexities of being the first in a family to acquire significant wealth. He distinguishes between being “rich” (temporary, income-based) and “wealthy” (long-term, legacy-building). 2. From Humble Beginnings to the NBA Raised in public housing in Carbondale, Illinois. Came from a tight-knit, low-income family where needs were prioritized over wants. Basketball became his vehicle to travel, grow, and eventually earn a $36 million contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2003. 3. The Pressure of Sudden Wealth Hudson discusses the mental and emotional toll of being the financial “savior” for family and friends. He coined the term “media lock-in” to describe how public knowledge of his contract changed how people treated him. Many relationships became transactional, leading to isolation and stress. 4. Financial Lessons & Mistakes Worst investment: launching a music label using his own money. Learned the importance of using other people’s money (OPM) and having a financial advisor. Even with an advisor, he sometimes made impulsive decisions due to youth and pressure. 5. The Athlete’s Dilemma Athletes often receive large sums of money at a young age with little financial education. Unlike team owners who collaborate, athletes often operate independently, missing opportunities for collective wealth-building. 6. Why He Wrote the Book To document his journey and help others—especially future first-generation earners—navigate the emotional and financial challenges of sudden wealth. Aims to break generational curses and preserve relationships strained by money. 💬 Notable Quotes “Rich is temporary. Wealth is legacy.” “It’s lonely at the top—especially when you’re not getting along with family and friends.” “We don’t operate like the owners. The owners work together. The athletes don’t.” 📘 About the Book Title: First Generation Rich Author: Troy Hudson Available on: Amazon (Kindle & paperback) and 1GRich.com #STRAW #BEST #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
