In this episode of Delphine's Circle we are talking with Burrel Lee Wilks III. Burrel grew up in the West Side neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The neighborhood was once known for its rough atmosphere and mob activity, and Wilks was groomed for this lifestyle. Wilks's father was a drug kingpin connected to many high-profile Chicago mobsters. Before the age of 9, Wilks father had introduced him to marijuana, and was using Wilks to keep track of the proceeds from his illicit drug business. From there, Wilks began living on his own, working as a gang chief, drug dealer, pimp, and hustler.
Completely turning his life around as a teenager and leaving his life of crime behind, Wilks ultimately became a highly successful businessperson. He is an author, entrepreneur, speaker, and life coach. He created and trademarked the "Strategies for Millionaire Magnetism" program and became a partner in the property development company Diamond Developments, Inc. Most recently, Burrel was named Chairman of the Mayweather Boxing + Fitness franchise company, which in 2019 became the fastest growing fitness chain in history. Burrel is also the founder, owner, and president of Burrel Streetwise, Inc., based in Los Angeles. Additionally, Burrel has owned multiple businesses, including, concert promotion business, car dealerships, and jewelry stores.
Burrel is an accomplished author having written the following books:
