33 min - Authority Over FinanceAUTHORITY OVER FINANCE How can I move from lack to abundance?Being intentional in choices that lead to wise decision-making for positive financial outcomes is the difference between moving forward and stagnation. Authority is a given. When GOD gave us dominion over the works of His hand (Psalm 8:6), we became stewards with the highest authority to take care of all the things under our feet. Can you imagine? All of GOD’s stuff. With great authority comes great accountability and responsibility! Understanding an authority mindset starts at home. Nurturing those ‘authority chops’ is a process that begins with managing your personal finance. Children, adolescents, teenagers and young adults. Start early and practice often. It sets the course for how families live, and more importantly how they think and are able to imagine, dream and grow a vision for the future. Making wise decisions is a learning process. Author & President of Optimum Capital Management, Ryan C. Mack, walks us through the journey of power & purpose of our GOD-given authority.

31 min - Black Owned Business SurvivalBLACK OWNED BUSINESS SURVIVAL How have black owned businesses been impacted in the pandemic?The business plan is the quintessential roadmap for success when starting a new business. From needs assessment through implementation and contingency plans, are all supported by financial projections to guide the process.

But, in a severely bipartisan political environment how effective are they? This we know to be true: Politicizing catastrophic conditions has dire consequences for tax payers. And, stimulus – or the lack thereof -- impacts lower wage earners & essential workers disproportionately. As Congress debates, the lives and livelihoods of millions of American families hang in the balance.
