What's good! We are back today on Agent Talk with a new #StockTipTuesday and today I wanted to speak on a company that I believe is a NO BRAINER from an investing standpoint.

When it comes to my investments, I will occasionally invest in a company that is newer, unproven, but might have a life/world changing product such as #NIO (which I discussed in a previous episode), but for the most part I like to have my portfolio comprised of dependable companies that have a track record of being consistent and also essential in the world that we live in.   

In light of the coronavirus and everything else going on, one company that has continued to prosper, despite the current state of society is none other than Amazon. While a good amount of companies are going bankrupt, reducing their output, seeing severe decreases in revenue, etc, #Amazon has been simply BOOMING. Say what you want about the way their business is ran, you can have your own opinion of Jeff Bezos, but from a strictly investing standpoint, I will put my $ on Amazon every time. I touch on my thoughts on how to approach investing in Amazon, why I believe their company is a secure bet, and a little more in today's pod.   

*I am not* a financial advisor, these are just my opinions, but I hope that these #StockTip episodes can provide some sort of value in your life as you pursue financial freedom, whatever that may look like for you. Much love!

What's good!! We are back on the Agent Talk podcast and I am SUPER excited about today’s episode. Joining me on the pod today are three dear friends of mine, Korrie Barnes, Nathan Gonzalez, and Jordan Matthews. These three men right here have all played an integral part in my relationship with the Lord and I am nothing but grateful to have them on here to share their wisdom, and their truths about God, faith, and a bunch of other topics.

As I grow older, I have come to realize that many individuals, even those that call themselves "Christians", can be very hesitant to have deep conversations about God, the Bible, Jesus, and other aspects of the spiritual realm, despite the utmost importance of having these dialogues. Today, I wanted to do nothing more than present an open discussion where my brothers and I discuss God Himself, as well as other aspects of our faith, in hopes that we can be a light to anyone that might be tuned in.

I hope you all enjoy today’s Sunday Message and that this discussion can provide some sort of tangible fruit in your life. Much love!

What’s good! We are back with #WiseWordsWednesday and I have one question for you.. When you hear the name “Malcolm X”, what thoughts initially come to mind? For me, for many years, the two words that would come to mind were 1.) violence and 2.) racism. Why did I think that? Why did I have this opinion of a man whom I never met before, never studied before, never heard speak for himself?

Truly, it’s because that’s the message that society, and this country as a whole has promoted about him, & that’s what they want you to think. We are never taught about Malcolm X in school, even though he played an integral role in the civil rights movement. We are lead to believe that he was a violent man, even though he though he used his intellect more than anything else. We are lead to believe that he was a racist, when the reality was he just simply wanted to see his people prosper in a land of oppression. Over the last few weeks I have been taking a deep dive into who Malcolm X REALLY was, what he stood for, and what I can learn from listening to him speak his truths. I have realized that society has, in his words, had me duped for far too long. We are in a time and a place where we HAVE to be willing to unlearn everything that this society, this world has taught us, or we will truly fail to come to a place where we can think for ourselves. Above all else, this message is an encouragement to everyone, to be willing to be a thinker for yourself, instead of just being sheep. Much love!

What’s good! We are back on Agent Talk and today I am touching on a few things. 1.) HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! I’m not too big into holidays, but I’ll be honest, it was kind of surreal having some time to be able to reflect like yo, I’m a dad. Roman is nothing short of an incredible blessing, & to all of the dad’s out here that are playing that role and owning the responsibility that children come with, SALUTE. 2.) I touched on this in my last episode, but for anyone that might have missed, I wanted to speak again on a recent encounter I had driving Uber on Saturday. I am a firm believer that the Spirit guides us into opportunities to be a blessing to others, and truly, Uber Eats has been a mechanism for God to WORK within me. I'm nothing but grateful.

Happy Monday, let's be GREAT today! Much love!

What's good! I hope we are all having a great day today and a solid start to the weekend. On today's pod I wanted to give a transparent look at an example of why I decided to become an NFL Agent. It is unfathomable to me how some of these agents out here really do just look at these players as nothing but a dollar sign. To be a grown man, doing a 21 or 22 year old dirty, running away from responsibility, it just doesn't make sense to me. But I do believe that we all reap what we sow, and that those who simply do good business, will receive good in return.

What’s good ! We are back with a new #StockTipTuesday and today we are talking $NIO. NIO is essentially an electric car company that I’ve now been invested in for almost 2 years. Since investing, NIO’s stock has heavily fluctuated, including a massive nose dive following a negative earnings report back in 2019. When things like that happen, most of us simply look at the chart and panic sell, instead of really taking the time to see what is going on behind the scenes. While most of my friends that got in sold their shares, I instead accumulated more. I’m a big believer that if you invest, you are investing in the company/business itself, and not just the stock. When we do our proper due diligence, stay firm in our beliefs regardless of what the stock price shows, and trust the research that we have put together, in the end we should come out on top as long term investors. While my friends that sold ended up losing money, and are now sitting empty handed, I am in the green so far on my overall investment in NIO, with plenty of room to run and a lot of promise ahead.

*I am not a financial advisor, I do own shares of NIO, and these are just my thoughts*

What's good ya'll already know what time it is. On today's episode of Agent Talk we are tapping in to the newly approved bill by the state of Florida that will allow collegiate athletes to make money off of endorsements beginning in July of 2021. This is HUGE! For years the debate has raged on in regards to college athletes being allowed to be paid for their likeness, and for Florida to FINALLY get the ball rolling, this is BIG! There is no doubt in my mind that athletes in college should have the opportunity to make money off of who they are, especially given the fact that these schools are raking in CAKE off of the same athletes. To be able to make a couple hundred, or even a few thousand off of your individual brand while you're in college, I cannot express how beneficial this will be to the average college athlete. For me as a marketing a rep, the potential that this brings is unbelievable, and I cannot wait to be able to tap in with some college athletes to bring value to them. Safe to say, I am HYPE about this. 

What’s good! Ya’ll already know what time it is, it’s #StockTipTuesday. In today’s pod I discuss a previous IG story that I put out basically encouraging people to invest into the airline industry. This was about a month and a half ago when Covid-19 and the fears attached had essentially beaten down the airline industry as a whole. Boeing, United, Southwest, and others saw their stock price drastically reduced due to the virus, and in my eyes they were at premium buying prices.

Since then, the majority (if not all) airline related stocks have seen a tremendous rebound. Boeing is up nearly 75%, most airlines have seen increases of 50% or more, and all still with room to run. It doesn’t take a financial expert to utilize the tools at hand to achieve wealth. But it does take the desire to learn, and a willingness to use common sense while exposing yourself to the market.

For anybody who might’ve listened, huge congrats on the profits that have been had so far. For anyone wanting to truly achieve wealth for themselves or for their families, tap in and let’s grow together. Much love!
