In episode 5 of Earned Interest podcast, the business school for the Culture, Pedro and Dion discuss How Credit Gurus are killing and exploiting black and brown entrepreneurs, teaching them to go into more debt vs. growing their business.


The business credit industry has exploded recently, with numerous credit gurus and experts offering courses and coaching to help entrepreneurs obtain business credit. However, many people don’t realize that some credit gurus exploit and kill black and brown entrepreneurs by teaching them to go into debt instead of growing their businesses.


We'll discuss the recent news about celebrity Gwyneth Paltrow facing $300k lawsuit over ski collision, questioning whether suiting someone is worth it or not.


In our take or leave segment, Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch reportedly turned down multiple offers of over $2 billion to buy Tubi even with the streaming service hit record users and ad revenue.  Was that a good idea or not?

We'll explore whether this is a good time to buy a WNBA basketball team and whether it's a smart investment move that could potentially yield more significant returns in the future.

We'll examine the benefits and challenges of having a celebrity investor and provide insights into how startups can successfully partner with high-profile individuals.

Still, those same celebrities would wear other big brands without getting any compensation.

In this episode 3, Pedro and Dion explore the concept of group economics and the importance of circulating the black dollar within our community.
