Ambitious Legacy

Welcome back to another episode of Sabine's Common Sense, if you don't have any- feel free to use mine!  

So this episode I talk about prenups, divorce, assets, and what you can expect if you are planning to divorce or are currently in the process of one.  After 24 years of marriage, Dr. Dre and his wife are in the process of a divorce that has been going on for 2 years, and is still NOT final. Now we know Dr. Dre got MONEY (he's almost a billionaire) but ending his marriage has so far turned into a 7 figure divorce-that's right- 7 FIGURES!! He's also been ordered to pay millions in child support and an unspecified amount of spousal support. That's not all. He also filed a lawsuit against his soon to be ex-wife for allegedly stealing from their joint business. I know right? Straight up MESSY (and expensive)!  

Make sure you tune in to learn more about what a trust is, what assets should be put into a trust, if you should plan with your spouse/partner or separately, whether or not you should be co-mingling assets with your spouse, and if it's possible to not leave your spouse anything in your legacy plan (I'm not judging). That being said, make sure you have a legacy plan in place that you can update as you grow through life, and so that you can be prepared for the unforeseeable, while protecting what you worked hard for.

So this week let's talk protecting your creative! If you're an artist, fashion designer, or just someone who likes to be creative in their free time, it's important to know your rights, things to avoid, and how to protect your creative piece. Don't end up like Zoe Johnson (Grown-ish fans will know what I'm talking about) and make sure you protect your original works!  

I'm also excited to introduce the man behind the camera of every episode, my audio producer and client, Josh Wilcox! Starting off as a DJ in high school, Josh has always had a passion for music, so it's no surprise that he decided to pursue an education in audio engineering. After graduating, he has since worked with Jim Jones, licensed songs for tv shows, and was even selected as the winner (out of 50 applicants!) to produce for the show "The Human Experience", with which he stayed on for two years. After a conversation with his wife (then girlfriend) and an epiphany, Josh decided to transition to podcast engineering and opened up his own studio in NY, Brooklyn Podcasting Studio (where all of my episodes are created)! Josh lets us in on the truth to licensing and what you should consider when you are the creator or host of a podcast. He also shares why you should stay true to your passion, move strategically and have multiples streams of income, and that you learn more from your losses than your wins!

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

This week I wanted to talk about contracts. I know, I know, contracts are never sexy and nobody enjoys reading them (not even lawyers!), but contracts are so important especially when entering into a professional relationship with someone or partnering with them on a business/project. If you have a contract in place what does it include and does it serve in your favor? Although you should always have a trusted attorney like myself review a contract before you sign, if you decide to use a template from the internet or draft your own, you should understand how to make sure you are protected now to avoid having to worry about going to court later. To help ensure your coin goes to your business and not litigation, I let you guys in on some key things a contract should include and what you should be looking for when one is presented to you.  

Ok so I am sooooooo excited for this episode because I had the pleasure of interviewing an awesome friend of mine, Danielle Johnson! A talented and gifted powerhouse, Danielle is a singer,  entrepreneur, gospel and worship leader, has her own nail polish line, has produced her own album, and so much more! Talk about #goals! Sooooo many gems were dropped during our conversation so I hope you guys are ready! For real you might want to take some notes lol!  

Having come from two hardworking parents, one of which grew up in the Jim Crow era, it's no surprise as to what has led Danielle to be so ambitious and successful in everything she does. Many women would agree that we tend to put everything and everyone else above ourselves while trying to do it all, but Danielle brings us to church by sharing how she overcame addiction, depression, past trauma, and life's struggles as a whole, while keeping the momentum going in her business endeavors, marriage, and journey of self improvement. Her faith based business, Worship in My City, has helped remind herself and others that self love, faith in God, and your "WHY" is all the motivation you need to be successful and love the life you live!

I am so excited for this episode!!   

If you didn't get a chance to attend Invest Fest in ATL last weekend, don't worry because you can purchase the replay of the event- and trust me you want to catch up on all the gems that were dropped! This was definitely an experience of a lifetime and I am honored that I was able to speak and be part of this iconic event. For more information on the details of Invest Fest and how you can purchase the replay, you can go to https://investfest.com/.   

Now, not only was Invest Fest lit lit, but it gave me the opportunity to reconnect with some amazing people- one of them being business owner, CPA, and educator, Ms. Business! Ms. Business not only owns her own accounting firm that helps individuals and business owners, but makes it her mission to educate the community on taxes, business structuring, bookkeeping and financial literacy. She was even the first guest to appear on Earn Your Leisure's podcast! This episode we talk Invest Fest and how she got to be "Ms. Business".   

Ms. Business has done it all. From being a real estate agent to obtaining a degree in Biology/Pre-Med to becoming an accountant. Although she initially started her business, Brooks Alliance, to build business credit (while still working her corporate job), she realized that as she was building her business and brand, she was meant to serve a higher purpose and so she started Ms. Business. She started off by taking consultations after work and during her lunch breaks and was eventually able to leave her job WITHIN A YEAR. Not only is this dedication but it just goes to show that you CAN make time for the things you want! Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, Ms. Business used that as a blueprint to branch out on her own and now has a team of 13 and has a clientele of over 1,000! She also lets us in on some tax tips, why if you want to start a business you should just go for it, and the importance of leadership as a CEO.

Welcome to another episode of Sabine's Common Sense!   

On this episode I talk about legend and business mogul, Kobe Bryant. Although it's heartbreaking that we lost him at the young age of 41, I want to highlight his story because guys this is how a legacy is done!   

Kobe is a great example of why it's so important to plan your legacy so that not only are the people you love taken care of, but the things that you have worked so hard for are carried out according to YOUR plan. The Black Mamba legacy lives on because Kobe planned ahead and granted his wife the ability to carry out his wishes, and has put protections in place that not even Nike can get in the way of! Now that's the type of legacy you want to leave behind!   I am also excited to interview a friend, attorney, and mentor- Sandra Radna! Sandra is truly a success story because she was able to scale her small practice into a large successful firm (and every attorney knows that ain't easy!), and although it took a lot of trial and error, her efforts have definitely paid off, and she is now able to help others understand why it's not only important to continue to educate yourself in your field, but to read and learn as much as you can about being a business owner and entrepreneur.   

With over 25 years of experience as a successful divorce attorney, Sandra has counseled countless clients, and has even written a book titled "You're Getting Divorced... Now What?" that has helped so many people prepare for this challenging new chapter in their life. She has also been featured in the New York Times, USA Today, and NPR among many other media outlets. No matter what industry you're in or what type of legacy you plan to have, you don't want to miss these gems on life, love, and being a successful business owner!

*Sips Tea* Ok so, I will admit I'm getting tired of talking about Prince and the outcome of him dying without an estate plan, butttt get ready to sip on this tea because the process of settling his estate has been.... a hot mess to say the least. I mean 5 years, thousands (if not millions) in legal fees spent, half siblings and other "family" coming out the woodwork, and don't even get me started on the "new" album that was released. If nothing else, let this be a perfect example of why planning your legacy is so important!  

I also had the pleasure of interviewing Rosalyn Ortega-Elie aka Urban Teach. A Latinx powerhouse, Rosalyn is truly an inspiration, using her own personal experiences to help educate the community. After realizing that renting was only getting more and more expensive, she decided to go on a journey of educating herself on real estate, finances, taxes, and investing. Now Rosalyn is a successful real estate investor and entrepreneur, with multiple streams of income and shows others how to do the same- yes even those with college degrees. Talk about building generational wealth!

Hey friends, thanks for tuning in! I had so much fun interviewing my friend and life coach, Dionne Nicholls. Dionne's journey is truly inspirational, as she talks about her innate love for the fashion industry, being fired and then rehired for an even better position, helping someone overcome 30k in debt, and how letting her faith and intuition guide her has led to her success.  Dionne is a life and wardrobe stylist, co-founder of a financial literacy program for youth, host of her own podcast and YouTube show, and has even been featured in Forbes!
