Financial Tip: His financial book teaches principles like self-control, patience, and hope

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Gerron Duhon.

Purpose of the Interview

The conversation aimed to:

Highlight the importance of financial literacy for young adults.
Share Jerron Duhon’s personal journey from Lake Charles, Louisiana, to Yale University and into holistic financial planning.
Promote his book “The Purpose of Paper”, which focuses on building generational wealth and breaking harmful financial habits.

Key Takeaways

Personal Journey & Identity Shift
- Jerron used football as a “meal ticket” to escape his hometown, but a concussion ended his athletic career, causing an identity crisis.
- He pivoted toward financial education and wealth creation, emphasizing long-term planning.
Misconceptions About Wealth
- Many young adults believe wealth comes quickly through gambling, sports betting, or flashy investments.
- Social media fuels the desire to display wealth rather than build wealth, leading to poor financial decisions.
Financial Habits & Framework
- Jerron introduced his AIMS framework:
  - Awareness: Know your current financial state.
  - Intention: Set clear goals and reverse-engineer steps.
  - Mindset Change: Focus on future self, not old habits.
  - Systems: Automate savings and investments to reduce reliance on willpower.
Faith and Finance Connection
- Principles like self-control, patience, and hope—fruits of the spirit—are essential for financial discipline.
- “Faith without works is dead” applies to money: belief must be paired with action.
Generational Wealth
- Gerron stresses taking ownership of your financial future rather than leaving the burden to your children.
- Investing should be strategic and long-term, not like playing the lottery.
Practical Advice
- Start small but consistent (e.g., $150/month).
- Use modern tools like Robinhood for stock investing.
- Shift from being a consumer to an owner (invest in companies you use).
