Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Justin Lee, Sr.   

🎯 Purpose of the Interview

The interview aims to:

Highlight Justin Lee’s journey from a young real estate agent to a multifaceted entrepreneur.
Inspire listeners—especially from underserved communities—to pursue financial literacy, real estate ownership, and entrepreneurship.
Share actionable insights on building wealth through real estate, construction, and strategic partnerships.

🔑 Key Takeaways 1. Overcoming Age Barriers in Real Estate

Justin entered real estate at 24 and embraced being the youngest in the room.
He used his youth and tech-savviness (e.g., TikTok, Instagram) to bring value to veteran professionals.

“I started to network more in rooms that had more experienced people… let me break some of this new millennial technology into your business.”

2. Education and Credentials

In three years, Justin became a licensed broker and earned a doctorate.
He emphasizes continuous learning and certifications as keys to growth.

“I also finished my doctorate degree, so I'm now Doctor Justin Lee.”

3. Social Media as a Business Tool

He leveraged platforms like TikTok (90K followers) to market real estate and educate clients.
He stresses that online presence must reflect professionalism.

“Some people look better online than in person for a reason… make your business look the same way online.”

4. Addressing Homeownership Gaps in Communities of Color

Justin discusses systemic barriers like lack of financial literacy and credit education.
He offers free resources like Motivational Mondays and a podcast to educate aspiring homeowners.

“Most of the time, our parents… would say, ‘Don’t use no credit card.’ Great advice, but kind of bad advice at the same time.”

5. Real Estate Syndication & Group Investing

He formed a private investment fund with fraternity brothers and family to buy properties collectively.
Focused on affordable markets like New Orleans East for high ROI.

“Let’s develop a fund… Now we own over 150 apartment complexes and units.”

6. Amazon DSP Partnership

Justin owns an Amazon Delivery Service Partner business with 42 trucks and 200+ employees.
He recommends minorities apply for the program, which offers a \$10K grant.

“They want someone who is willing to commit… not someone who has all this business experience.”

7. Construction Ventures

Inspired by his mother’s post-Katrina property acquisitions, Justin entered construction.
He now leads major commercial projects including schools, restaurants, and celebrity studios.

“We ended up building out a restaurant… 10,000 square foot… I love this. This is my passion.”

8. Family Legacy & Early Exposure

Raised in New Orleans by a single mother and grandparents, Justin learned property management as a child.
His mother’s real estate investments post-Katrina laid the foundation for his career.

“I knew how to write a lease at ten… file eviction at 12… manage property before high school.”

🗣️ Notable Quotes

“If you don’t plan, you plan to fail.”
“Let’s teach you to do it right. Let’s do it together.”
“Knowledge was power… the one thing nobody can take.”
“You learn a skill, you’ll eat forever.”

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jeremy Anderson.

SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW

The conversation between Rushion McDonald and Jeremy Anderson on Money Making Conversations Masterclass covers Jeremy’s personal transformation, his mission-driven approach to motivational speaking, the creation of Next Level Speakers Academy, the power of environment and mindset, and his philanthropic work in South Africa. The interview highlights values such as purpose over profit, taking ownership, perseverance, and maximizing one’s potential. [

PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW

The purpose of the episode is to:

1. Introduce Jeremy Anderson’s Work

Showcase Jeremy’s role as a premier motivational speaker, founder of Next Level Speakers Academy, and co‑founder of Next Level Living, which feeds a thousand children weekly in South Africa. [

2. Inspire Listeners Toward Purpose‑Driven Success

Encourage viewers to move from “wasted potential” to purposeful, impactful living by believing in themselves and pursuing their gifts. 

3. Demonstrate How Jeremy’s Principles Apply Broadly

Rushion emphasizes that Jeremy’s business, branding, and mindset strategies apply not just to speakers, but to entrepreneurs, executives, and everyday people. 

4. Promote Actionable Personal Growth

The interview seeks to motivate listeners to take ownership, adopt non‑negotiable success habits, and maximize opportunities. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Wasted Potential is a Universal Struggle

Jeremy defines wasted potential as having greatness inside but failing to believe in it or pursue it. Many people don’t lack talent — they lack belief and action. 

2. Purpose Over Profit

He warns new speakers not to chase “the bag.”
Impact first → income follows. If your heart is for people, success comes naturally. 

3. Your Story Is Your Superpower

Every struggle someone has overcome is a testimony meant to help others. Keeping quiet keeps your gift hidden. 

4. Maximize Every Opportunity

Whether you’re speaking, laying concrete, or running a small business, get every drop out of every engagement — testimonials, photos, referrals, and relationship‑building. citeturn1search1

5. Environment and Mindset Matter

True growth starts by changing your internal environment.
Jeremy’s life changed when teachers chose to see the best in him, showing that belief from others can shift self-belief. 

6. Non‑Negotiables Build Discipline

Success requires habits you don’t negotiate with: early rising, prayer, meditation, cold plunges, challenging discomfort, and consistent personal development.

7. Extreme Ownership Replaces Excuses

Greatness comes from responsibility, not excuses. Jeremy demands accountability from his teams and himself.

8. Brand Is Built on Transparency

Jeremy’s brand centers on perseverance, faith, and family—not perfection. He shares both triumphs and private struggles.

9. Giving Back Is Central to His Purpose

Next Level Living feeds 1,000 children weekly and sponsors students in South Africa through college. Impact must extend beyond business.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Katrina Fitten.

Purpose of the Interview

The interview aims to educate entrepreneurs—especially women business owners—on how to secure funding responsibly, avoid scams, and develop a strategic financial plan. It also highlights Katrina Fitten’s expertise as CEO/CFO of New Day for You Financial and her mission to help startups and small businesses access capital.

Key Takeaways

1. Funding Opportunities & Qualifications

   • Katrina helps women business owners secure up to $100,000 in 100 days or less, with same-day approval and next-day funding.
   • Basic qualifications include:
     • Credit score of 680+
     • Existing credit lines (at least $10,000)
     • A clear business mission and low-risk profile.

2. Avoiding Scams

   • Beware of unsolicited emails/texts promising easy money.
   • Do your homework:
     • Check companies on Better Business Bureau (BBB).
     • Look for testimonials and partnerships with reputable banks (e.g., Chase, American Express).
   • Never share sensitive information without verifying legitimacy.

3. Importance of a Business Plan

   • Funding is not free money—you need a strategic plan.
   • Katrina calls it a “money mission”: know exactly how funds will be deployed.
   • Without a plan, money disappears quickly, leading to debt and bad credit.

4. Family & Friends Lending

   • Treat personal loans like business loans:
     • Have written agreements with terms, repayment schedule, and penalties.
     • Decide upfront if it’s a gift or a loan.

5. Services Offered by New Day for You Financial

   • SBA loans, equipment loans, purchase order financing.
   • Lines of credit and 0% interest credit cards (18–21 months).
   • Credit card stacking for higher funding amounts.
   • Credit restoration referrals for those with poor credit.

6. Success Story

   • Example: A tax accountant secured $160,000 in less than a week due to strong credit, revenue history, and a solid business plan.

Notable Quotes

• “If you don’t have a plan for your money, your money will have a plan—and you’ll look up and it’s gone.”
• “We don’t want to be out here racking up good debt and then you’re not going to be responsible.”
• “You have to vet companies. Go to BBB, Google them, and check their credibility.”
• “If I give you money, I decide—is it a gift or a loan? There are rules to borrowing money.”
• “We say if you don’t get anything, we don’t get paid.”
