Parenthood & Entrepreneurship

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?

How to get a celebrity on your cap table

In this episode 3, Pedro and Dion explore the concept of group economics and the importance of circulating the black dollar within our community. Our hosts discuss how the lack of ownership in businesses within the black community is the main reason why the dollar circulars one time despite having a 1 trillion dollar spending power compared to other communities. 


We share insights on overcoming these obstacles and creating more black and brown entrepreneurship opportunities.


We also talk about Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds earning $300M by selling his company for $1.3B.
