On this episode I sit down with the Co-Owner Of Made Mobb, creator of The Kritiq KC Fashion Show and owner of L&J Investments Mark Launi. We discuss his journey from a small village of 300 to creating a nationally recognized street wear brand. Mark truly is the story of coming from nothing to becoming your own boss. This man wears a lot of hats and has a lot of ideas. This is honestly an episode you'll want to get your popcorn for. 

 

We discuss why he wanted to create a street wear brand and the business behind it. They were very strategic behind creating a legitimate business before ever selling anything. The creation of a fashion show catered towards minority creators and how he got into real estate investing. We also dive into his philanthropy work. Coming from nothing Mark is continually figuring out ways to give back as he's been in the same position. You'll have to tune into really get a grasp of all the work he's going. But most importantly I got a chance to get to know Mark and am able to share who he is with all of you.

Join me as I sit down and have a conversation with Dom Chronicles. Dom is an artist based out of Kansas City who has his hands in creating music, producing and Djing. 

During this conversation we dive into what got him into music, his personal life and his goals in life. Dom has a lot of things mapped out for his future and I truly believe he will accomplish all of those things. He's a very deep individual and if you take the time out of your day to take a listen to this you'll understand why I say that. Make sure you play it all the way through so you can hear one of his latest singles " Hold it down".

This was the final installment of The Rich Dad Roundtable. Going forward everything released will be "People You Need To Know"

The guys are back to open the new year with an amazing interview with one of the best to ever do it in the sport of powerlifting JP Price. A lot of you likely know who he is, but how much about him do you truly know? We sat down with JP for three hours and discussed his life, passions and goals. This episode may take you some time to finish but it is packed with a ton of gems. JP is truly an open book and we appreciate him for that. I think this is an opportunity for you to truly get to know not only his life that is so focused around powerlifting but his life in general. So grab your favorite headphones, sit back and enjoy the show!

Did you miss them? They missed ya'll! The boys are back for another round, and you won't be disappointed.

Here's a short episode just to make sure you remembered who they were, but let's be honest....how could you forget Miles & Dom: AKA, Dale Dolla & Big Tone!

The guys are back again with another one to knock your socks off! This week they had the pleasure of having their first phone interview (they got the job) with Gia Paddock, the founder of Boutique Rye. Gia was truly amazing and provided a ton of gems about starting a business literally from the ground up (while pregnant). Tune in as Gia walks us through building not only an online boutique, but creating a community of women empowering each other through fashion! Also shouts out to her amazing husband and brand photographer Nathan, we didn't forget about you!

Be sure you join her facebook group and catch her live sales every Thursdays!

The gang is back in full effect. We do sincerely apologize for missing last week! We hope this week can make up for that. Also, stay tuned for next week as we will have a special guest. If you're into entrepreneurship or want to learn more about starting a business, you don't want to miss it. 

(3:43) MAGA strikes and we hate to say it but it's a little uncomfortable..., (10:30) Are you a good parent? Are you really out here parenting or are you afraid of losing the image you've created? (27:45) Gender roles. Do you enforce them? Do you believe in them? (46:50) STOP USING THE WORD FEMALE, (55:30) Robert Kelly is nasty and so is everyone else.

The guys are back! If Miles and Dom seem a little TOO excited at the start of their show, blame it on the new recording equipment they got in the mail! Yes, grown men get excited about new s*** too! The episode starts off with a quick weekend recap. Miles did nothing exciting (no surprise there), and Dom spent some time at the shooting range (4:30).

 

They dive right into the topic of discipline as Dom’s daughter has been saying s**t….A LOT (14:25) and he’s trying to figure out if he should be upset; the context is PERFECT! Around the 20:00 mark, the guys talk about how everything is a teachable moment; are you taking advantage? At 30:00 it gets really entertaining! Have you ever been told something about yourself, and you don’t know how you can come back from that? Well, listen to the wild story Dom tells and just remember “Kids say the darnedest things”

 

They guys take a trip down memory lane (44:15) with talks about pictures on the wall, mall drop offs, and just kids hanging outside. Why Walmart doesn’t have the poster section anymore? What in the hell is this world coming to? This episode ends with them talking about the awkwardness that comes with “Hey, we should get the kids together?” We’ve all been there (56:00). Do we honestly want to hang out with other adults for the sake of our kids having a “friend”?
