Ambitious Legacy

Hey friends! Thank you for joining me on another episode of ....Ambitious Legacy!!  

As you know, the NEW name of my show is now Ambitious Legacy! If you want to learn more about why I decided to change the name, make sure you check out last week's episode! And don't worry, I'll still be sharing "Sabine's Common Sense" at the beginning of each episode, so remember if you don't have any, feel free to use mine!  

Speaking of Sabine's Common Sense,  this week I wanted to talk to you guys about the legacy of icon and legend, Tupac, and also share with you 3 immediate things that you should do within the first 48 hours after someone you love has passed.  

I also had the pleasure of interviewing News Personality. Producer, and Host of the Becoming Dope Podcast- Mimi Brown! Mimi is using her talents to create a new path for people of color as she builds her ambitious legacy!  Having grown up in Alaska, where there weren't really any examples of representation in different industries and professions, she had to learn a lot from watching TV, and it propelled her to leave right after high school and attend Howard University, which turned out to be the best decision she could have ever made. It inspired her to pursue her purpose of making sure people of color are being represented in all spaces, and changing the rooms she's in for other people.  

After graduating and getting her degree in business, she got a call from one of her old professors who was in LA and had just signed up for The Apprentice, and wanted Mimi to be her assistant. Her experience working as an assistant was the exposure she needed to find out what she really wanted to pursue, and went from being an assistant, to working for US Weekly, to getting her degree in Broadcast Journalism, to being hired on Good Day LA AND getting her own show, to now also having a podcast. Mimi is doing it ALL you guys. All while being a mom to an amazing 8 year old who is already creating his own ambitious legacy!  

What started off as a curious chat at the NAACP awards with a journalist, has turned into not only a career, but a gamechanger for conversations being had and the rooms they're being had in. This is one episode you don't want to miss!

Hey friends, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 

Thank you for watching my show and for helping me to stay on purpose! I realized that I started my show almost a year ago, and I haven't really shared with you guys MY Ambitious Legacy. 

So this episode instead of having a special guest, I'll be sharing with you more about my journey, my goals and ambitions, and my legacy! My passions and accomplishments, upcoming projects, and even some pitfalls. I'll also breakdown the reason I renamed my show to what I've come to realize is my purpose - talking about and sharing people's Ambitious Legacies and (hopefully) inspiring you to create and/or continue to work on yours!

Welcome to another episode of Sabine's Common Sense! Remember if you don't have any, you can always use mine!  

Some of you may or may not have heard about Lexis Jones Mason (A.J. Johnson's widow), who called out the late comedian's FANBASE, referring to them as "fake" for not donating to the GofundMe page that she set up for assistance with his funeral costs. Lexis told TMZ , “Y’all Say Y’all Love Him. Where Is The Love? We’re Raising Money Because I Have To Pay For This All Out Of Pocket.” There's no argument that planning a funeral, even with just the basic necessities, can be really expensive- but who is truly responsible for ensuring there is enough funds to cover the costs in a situation like this?   

When it comes to your legacy, you (and possibly your partner) are the one who is responsible for ensuring that there is proper legacy plan in place that not only dictates what should be passed down or where you would want to be buried, but also a plan that protects your family, and outlines how certain expenses will be paid for in the event of your death or incapacity.  

Make sure you join me tonight at 7 pm EST/5 pm PST live to hear more about this unfortunate circumstance and how you can prevent this from happening to your loved ones. You won't want to miss this!  

Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe! Do you have a legacy plan in place? If so, when's the last time it's been updated? If not, what's holding you back?

Hey friends! Thanks for helping me to stay on purpose!  

As you may have noticed, I changed the name of the show to "Ambitious Legacy". I wanted a name that would reflect what I'm passionate about, the content I bring to you guys, and my purpose- which is to share with you what it means to have an AMBITOUS LEGACY! Because regardless of where you are on your journey, you WILL be leaving behind a legacy, which may look different for everyone based on assets, values. and the people who mean the most to you!   

This show has been such an amazing experience for me, and it's helped me to realize that I am fulfilling MY ambitious legacy! I hope you find these episodes to be informative, inspirational, and motivational- as you plan and build YOUR ambitious legacy. So let's get into another episode!  Tonight I had the pleasure of sitting down with Rashidah Siddiqui, a dope real estate attorney, who is a Partner at Serpico, Serpico & Siddiqui, P.C. Originally from Grenada, Rashidah has always wanted to be an attorney, but while attending undergrad at Howard University and having been inspired by shows like "A Different World", she decided she wanted to pursue film production. It wasn't until she took a course in legal communications, that she reconsidered her dream of practicing law, and thought about becoming an entertainment lawyer. After graduating law school in the middle of a recession and looking for positions as an entertainment lawyer, she realized it wasn't the path for her, and eventually ended up as a real estate attorney. She now has over a decade of experience in her field and couldn't be happier!  

Rashidah shares how she came to realize her true purpose, not as an entertainment lawyer- but a real estate attorney, how she landed a job at her current firm by being true to herself and her goals, and how you can live out your ambitious legacy as long as you know your passions, continue to pursue your purpose, and seek mentorship from different individuals from all walks of life.  She also shares why you NEED a real estate attorney, what traps to to avoid if you're practicing real estate law, and how she finds balance between what she loves to do as a career, and what she loves to do in life. You don't want to miss this episode!

Hey Friends! Welcome to another episode of Sabine's Common Sense, and remember if you don't have any, feel free to use mine!  

I always have soo much fun shooting these episodes. From the dope guests I get to interview to the amazing stories I get to share with you guys, and I hope you guys are just as inspired and excited to tune in every week!  

Now we know New York is notorious for it's tall buildings, among other things, and that so many legends have broken barriers and created their legacies here, but have you heard about the black dream team of developers, architects, and builders that put in a request for a proposal to build a NYC skyscraper?! If approved, they'll be the FIRST group of African American developers to actually build a NYC skyscraper AND they plan to employ over 30K African Americans to work with them. You love to see it!!  

I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to sit down with Nikki Merkerson! A friend and client of mine, Nikki is changing the real estate game and building her legacy WITH her children. Her experience in community development and in real estate provided her with the means to purchase her first home at just 29 years old, helped her to recognize her passion for educating the community on financial literacy and real estate, and was the stepping stone to both of her businesses, PairGap and Urban Leisure! Shortly after joining match.com, PairGap was born when she realized that just how match.com is able to match those looking for love, there should a program able to match those looking to co-own real estate.  

It's funny how as parents we talk about our children being part of our legacy, but don't always consider how they help us to build that legacy. Considering selling her home because she felt overwhelmed, her son convinced her that there were too many opportunities to pass up and after many brainstorming sessions, she decided not to sell their home and they were able to create Urban Leisure, a coliving housing company for young like-minded individuals!   

Remember, your legacy can be anything you want it to be, how will you build yours?

Hey friends, welcome to another episode of Sabine's Common Sense! Remember if you don't have any, feel free to use mine!   

If you're like me and sometimes suffer from comparison syndrome, then you know what it's like to compare yourself to others, especially those your age and/or in your line of work. It's so easy to look at the success of others (especially on social media) and ask yourself, "Why didn't I have it all figured out from jump?" or "Why didn't I think of that great idea?" You may even regret some of the things you did or didn't do, wondering if you're lazy or if you just don't have what it takes. But this episode is the perfect example of how even if you have it all figured out, it doesn't mean it will go according to plan, and that being successful now, doesn't mean they had it altogether, they may have just landed at the right destination!  

This week I got to chop it up with none other than Bianca Jordan aka the Brazen Lawyer! Bianca is an immigration attorney and owner of Brazen Legal Law Firm, and has known she wanted to be an attorney since she was just 12 years old! After a field trip in the 7th grade where her teacher was looking to break her out of her shyness and she had to reenact John Adams, it was the catalyst that made her decide that practicing law was the path she wanted to take. Bianca's story is definitely one that many can relate to, because although she knew who and what she wanted to be in life at such a young age, and did everything she was supposed to to get there, she didn't get there as quickly as she'd hope and the journey was nothing like what she expected.  

As many attorneys do, she thought life after law school would be easier, but instead had a hard time finding a job, ended up homeless for a while, and had a lien on her bank account. Although she did everything right, she was sworn in with only $20 to her name and on public assistance. After not being able to purchase a slice of pizza and soda one day, she made the decision to start her own firm with the funds from a one day gig doing document review, printed some business cards and got her first client from someone who found her card. Bianca shares how she got to be the success she is today, the challenges she faced, how she had to learn to recognize her worth as an attorney, and some common misconceptions about immigration law.

Thank you for tuning into another episode of Sabine's Common Sense and for helping me to stay on purpose!    

So at this point, we've all become pretty familiar with Zoom right lol? But did you know the founder of Zoom, Eric Yuan, didn't get approved for his US Visa until his NINTH try? Can you imagine if he had given up? Without his persistence and motivation to achieve his goals, he may not have the success that he has today. Not feeling inspired yet? Trust me, you will after watching this episode!   

I had the pleasure of interviewing four time best selling author, motivational speaker, real estate connoisseur, and publisher, Jermain Miller! 

Jermain has a similar story of faith and persistence, and had he decided to just go with the motions or succumb to being a VICTIM instead of a VICTOR of life's struggles, he would not be as successful as he is today. His grandma as his motivation, he became the first person in his family to go to college, but ended up dropping out after his grandma passed away from lung cancer. He lost his inspiration and before he knew it - he was 25, waking up on the floor with only 93 cents in his pocket and going through a divorce. After realizing he was only living to exist, he knew it was time for a change.   

He then decided to get into real estate, and although he needed to borrow money from a friend in order to begin his career as a realtor, he quickly became successful and sold over 300 MILLION in real estate transactions.  After devoting 10 years to the industry, he realized that being a realtor was just the stepping stone to the path that he was meant to be on, and decided to start his own real estate company in 2015, a consulting company in 2018, and a publishing company early this year. From writing a book in just THREE DAYS to manifesting being Les Brown's spiritual son to being able to manifest the life you want to live and then prepare for it- this is one story that will change your life! If this episode doesn't get you inspired, then something ain't right lol!

Hey friends so you know how I am always talking about legacy and the importance of asset protection? Well today I'm giving ya a real life example! I had the pleasure of sitting down with serial entrepreneur, YouTuber, and money guru, Ericka Shonta Williams!    

This episode is all about doing the things you need to do NOW, so that you can live the life that you want to live, and Ericka embodies just that! Her energy speaks to her authenticity, freedom, and ability to inspire and educate others. Originally from North Carolina, Ericka comes from a military family and has lived in a few different states, including Alaska, Maryland, and Tennessee. Working at her cousin's dollar store at the age of 14 helped her to realize that anything is possible, and was the ignition to her entrepreneurship journey. From owning a coffee shop to working at a pizza shop, to getting her real estate license, to starting a painting company, a trucking company, AND becoming a 6 figure YouTuber,  Ericka's story is proof that everything does happen for a reason, and it all eventually comes back full circle. Even her YouTube channel, which she started as a way to uplift herself after a breakup by sharing motivational quotes, has turned out to be another successful business venture. I'm just going to say it- Ericka is legit #goals! It's all about the mindset so make sure you to tune in and get your mind right on the secret to being a successful entrepreneur, securing the bag, and how to turn life's lemons into Beyoncé's lemonade!

Happy Friday and thank you for tuning in to another episode of Sabine's Common Sense!  

This episode is definitely THE most ENERGETIC, INSPIRATIONAL, and INFORMATIVE episode yet! I'm telling ya, this episode will change your life!  First, I break down the importance of protecting your creative works by registering your copyright. Remember the dance trend that had everybody and their grandma dancing to Meg Thee Stallion's song "Savage"? Well Tik Tocker, Keara Wilson, the choreographer of the dance- is finally getting the credit and copyright she deserves- thanks to the JaQuel Knight Foundation. You love to see it! 

And for my guest this week, I am honored, excited, and so grateful to have had the pleasure of interviewing Ash Cash! Ash is the the founder and CEO of Mind Right Money Right Management, a financial Expert and motivator,  runs two media outlets, is host of one of the TOP money mindset shows called "Inside the Vault" on EYL Network, has his own podcast, AND has written 11 books- FOUR of which are bestsellers. If you didn't know who he was before, you will definitely want to check him out now! Not only is Ash Cash a multi-talented hustler and motivator, but his energy is so infectious it will make you want to stop what you are doing right now and work on yourself, your goals, and get your coin lol!  Having grown up in the projects in NYC, Ash Cash who grew up in the 90's, saw more happen before the age of 12 than most have seen in their lifetime, and due to some unresolved feelings of abandonment by his dad, even got kicked out of school a few times. But after his sister got him job at Blockbuster (remember those?!) and he had something positive to focus his energy on- his mindset changed and from there the grind hasn't stopped! Ash went from working at Blockbuster to working at Chase Bank, and worked his way up from being a teller at 19 to being VP at just 24 years old. He then went on to be one of the youngest CEOs of a federally charted bank at the age of 30! Feeling inspired yet? Ash Cash then decided that he didn't just want to work in finance, but he also wanted to educate others on financial literacy- in particular those that look like him and come from where he comes from- which has led him to become the success he is today.   

Ash Cash lives by the motto G.O.D, which stands for "Greatness On Display", which he defines as: "By living in your truth, you're giving others permission to live theirs, and that's greatness". Ash is most definitely living in his truth and changing lives by continuing to share his story and drop ALL the gems! From financial literacy tips, to why you should follow your intuition, and so much more- you don't want to miss one second of this episode!

Welcome to another episode of Sabine's Common Sense! Thank you for helping me to stay on purpose!  

Ok guys so I got some piping hot tea for ya. Godfather of soul, James Brown, unfortunately passed away in 2006, and 15 years later his family is still trying to sort through his affairs. From concerns about whether or not his marriage was legitimate, to his wife having ANOTHER husband, to a son who was forced to take 2 DNA tests, AND 9 other siblings outside of that relationship who each want a part of the estate- I mean I told ya...this tea is HOT!  

I also had the pleasure of interviewing David Germaine, who is a real estate broker AND insurance broker by trade, and a true hustler at heart. Having grown up in the 70s (when Brooklyn was still Crooklyn) with two immigrant parents from the Caribbean, David knew he was destined for greatness. As with all things, you live and you learn (and he definitely learned a hard lesson after blowing through 90k in 4 months), but thanks to his mom who used a 10k investment to purchase a 2 family home, David was able to start building his foundation for generational wealth!   

Guys, David's story is a true reflection of how your experiences shape your passions and goals. From being an educator who helped his students win basketball championships, to becoming a real estate agent after his mom was in a car accident, to then deciding to becoming an insurance broker after handling his mom's estate when she passed away from cancer, he has taken life's lemons and turned them into wealth, prosperity, compassion and purpose.
