  • Financial Talk: Dr. Jolley covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy,

    Listen and subscribe to Money Making Conversations on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, www.moneymakingconversations.com/subscribe/ or wherever you listen to podcasts. New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily.  I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur.  Keep winning!

    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley.

    SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW

    In this energetic and motivational conversation, Hall of Fame speaker Dr. Willie Jolley joins Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss his new book, “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better.” The interview covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy, the mindsets required for long-term financial growth, and how individuals—no matter their background—can build generational wealth. Jolley also emphasizes discipline, humility, planning, multiple streams of income, overcoming setbacks, and the importance of insurance and protection of assets.

    PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW

    The interview aims to:

    1. Introduce and promote Dr. Jolley’s new book

    “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better” and the teachings within it.

    2. Educate listeners on the distinction between rich and wealthy

    Jolley wants audiences to understand wealth in generational, not short-term, terms. 

    3. Motivate individuals to shift their financial mindset

    From “working money” to “mailbox money.” 

    4. Empower entrepreneurs and families

    To adopt discipline, drop pride, and create multigenerational financial systems. 

    5. Share Jolley’s personal setback‑to‑success story

    To reinforce that anyone can grow wealth with the right principles. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rich vs. Wealthy

    • Being rich = high income, often tied to active labor (e.g., athlete contracts).
    • Being wealthy = passive income, ownership, generational sustainability.
    • A rich football player earns millions; the team owner earns billions and doesn’t have to “run up and down the field.” 

    2. The Five Money Mindsets

    Jolley explains five financial mindsets:

    1. One‑day mindset – living day to day.
    2. 30‑day mindset – fixed incomes/check-to-check living.
    3. One‑year mindset – annual thinking (raises, annual income).
    4. Decade mindset – typical for entertainers/athletes with multi‑year contracts.
    5. Generational mindset (Wealth Mindset) – building wealth to last multiple generations. 

    Jolley’s goal: move people up just one level at a time.

    3. Five Types of Wealth

    Jolley breaks wealth into five categories:

    1. Financial Wealth
    2. Health Wealth (“A sick person has one dream; a healthy person has a thousand.” – Les Brown)
    3. Relationship Wealth
    4. Reputational Wealth (Brand)
    5. Intellectual Capital Wealth (What you know and can charge for)

    4. Discipline Is the Key

    Wealth requires:

    • Living below your means
    • Investing the difference
    • Consistency
    • Avoiding arrogance and ignorance 

    5. Pride Is an Enemy of Wealth

    Pride leads people to overspend to keep up appearances.
    Jolley argues that pride “kills wealth” and must be replaced with planning and humility. 

    6. The Three Legs of Wealth

    To build sustainable wealth, you need:

    1. Income
    2. Investment (letting money work for you)
    3. Insurance (life, health, car, disability, long-term care) 

    7. Multiple Streams of Income

    Jolley urges everyone to build at least two streams of income from:

    • Stocks
    • Bonds
    • Real estate
    • Crypto
    • Collectibles
    • Jewelry
    • Art
    • Content creation

    8. Overcoming Setbacks

    Jolley details his own journey from unemployed nightclub singer to globally recognized motivational speaker.
    He reinforces that a setback is a setup for a comeback—the core message of his earlier bestselling book.

    9. It’s Never Too Late to Start

    He cites examples of:

    • A secretary who retired with $8M by investing small amounts over time
    • Invested $12,000 at age 65 and grew it to $890,000 by age 72 

    NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Time & Opportunity

    • “I have only just a minute… but it’s up to me to use it.” 

    On Mindset

    • “Wealth starts in your mind.” 

    On Rich vs. Wealthy

    • “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” 

    On Pride

    • “My pride was killing my wealth.” 

    On Growth & Learning

    • “If you’re willing to learn, no one can stop you.” [On Setbacks
    • “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” 

    On Starting Late

    • “When is the best time to plant a tree? Eighty years ago. The second-best time? Today.”

    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed veteran Hollywood writers and producers Sherri McCovey and Kevin G. Boyd.

    About their careers, the development of The Varnell Hill Show, and the significance of creating the first-ever spin-off from the iconic Martin television series.

    The discussion explores perseverance in Hollywood, the cultural legacy of Martin, the changing entertainment industry, mentorship, and the importance of continuing to create opportunities for Black storytellers and creatives.

    Lesson: Success often comes to those who stay committed through setbacks and uncertainty.

    2. The Cultural Impact of Martin Still Resonates

    Lesson: Authentic stories create lasting cultural relevance.

    3. Nostalgia Can Create New Opportunities

    The success of reboots, revivals, and spin-offs has helped networks recognize the value of beloved franchises. This trend helped create momentum for The Varnell Hill Show.

    Lesson: Strong intellectual property can provide opportunities to introduce classic characters to new generations.

    4. Memorable Characters Can Have Lasting Influence

    Although Varnell Hill appeared in only two episodes of Martin, the character became a fan favorite. His popularity endured for decades, eventually inspiring an entire television series.

    Lesson: Impact matters more than screen time.

    5. Mentorship Is a Critical Part of Career Success

    Lesson: Relationships and mentorship often play a major role in professional growth.

    6. The Entertainment Industry Continues to Evolve

    Boyd discussed how streaming has changed the economics of television, requiring creators to continually adapt and think strategically about their next opportunities.

    Lesson: Lasting success requires constant adaptation and innovation.

    7. Black Storytelling Must Continue Expanding

    McCovey expressed hope that the success of projects like The Varnell Hill Show will encourage more Black-centered stories and create opportunities for emerging writers, producers, and creators.

    Lesson: Representation and diverse storytelling remain essential to the future of entertainment.

    Notable Quotes Kevin G. Boyd on the Development Process

    "It took six years for the timing to be absolutely right."

    Kevin G. Boyd on the Legacy of Martin

    Kevin G. Boyd on Career Strategy

    "It's all about the parlay. It's about what's next."

    Sherri McCovey on Audience Excitement

    "I didn't expect so many people to be like, 'We can't wait.'"

    Sherri McCovey on the Future of Content

    "I hope that it also reinvigorates more Black storytelling."

    Sherri McCovey on Rushion McDonald's Impact

    "Probably 60%, if not more, of the projects that I have done are because of you."

    Kevin G. Boyd on Creative Excellence

    "When you think you have it, that's when your work begins."

    Kevin G. Boyd on Raising Standards

Boyd demonstrate that successful creative careers are built through patience, adaptability, mentorship, and continuous improvement. Their journey with The Varnell Hill Show serves as an example of how belief in a project, combined with years of hard work and persistence, can ultimately turn a beloved television character into a new chapter of television history.

    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Latrease Price-Gistard.

    Purpose of the Interview

    The interview aims to educate listeners on the mortgage industry, highlight the role and benefits of working with an independent mortgage broker, and provide practical advice on home financing options, credit challenges, and programs that support homeownership.

      • Specializes in helping first-time buyers, self-employed individuals, and those with unique challenges.

    • On entrepreneurial advice:
      “Make sure you have strong capital and a solid pipeline before stepping out on faith.”

    • On perseverance:
      “It’s all about follow-through. It’s all about your dream and whether you want to make it happen.”

    Listen and subscribe to Money Making Conversations on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, www.moneymakingconversations.com/subscribe/ or wherever you listen to podcasts. New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily.  I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur.  Keep winning!

    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.

        • Decide upfront if it’s a gift or a loan.
