9:00 "I don't want to leave her rich," and what actually happens to the family left behind

26:46 What to budget on a $40,000 income
29:49 Cashing out life insurance while alive, living benefits, explained honestly

51:01 The freeway analogy, life insurance as your escape ramp

Today on Diversified Game, Kellen sits down with Jet Setting Jasmine — a licensed clinical social worker in four states who is also an adult-industry director, performer, and educator. This episode covers how she holds both licenses and identities without conflict, what her code of ethics actually says versus what people assume it says, how the adult industry's testing protocols compare to standard healthcare screening, her research project studying kink and desire across Black and BIPOC communities, and her take on AI companionship and synthetic relationships as a clinician.

• Navigating licensing board scrutiny as a Black professional in a non-traditional field
• STI testing standards and disclosure practices in the adult industry

The Business Questions You Can't Afford To Dodge | Kellen Coleman

On this episode of the Diversified Game Podcast, the questions get turned on the host. Kellen Coleman answers the questions the audience asked directly, along with the questions every business owner should be able to answer without flinching. No script, no dodging, no rehearsed founder talking points.

This one is a masterclass in owner-level thinking. Kellen breaks down how he evaluates his ventures, what separates a real owner from a glorified operator, and how he thinks about ownership, leverage, recurring revenue, and building something that outlives the founder. If you run anything, or you're about to, these are the questions you should be answering for yourself long before an investor, a partner, or a hard season forces the answer out of you.

We get into his DOL approved apprenticeshipprogram and why having employer sponsors on a project can raise a contractor'sgovernment credit from 6% all the way to 50%. We talk about why degrees arelargely obsolete unless you are going for doctor or lawyer. We talk abouttrust, loyalty, and why systems and owner mindset beat both every time. We talkabout what it takes to build a team that runs itself while you are on the otherside of the globe, and why he is heading to Kenya for a project he cannot say muchabout yet.

We also get into AI and the trades, whetherrobots can ever replace what a skilled field worker does, and why the tradesare the most transferable skill set on earth. If you speak the language of yourhands, you can eat anywhere in the world.

And yes. We talked about the chain.

Darlene Williams on the Black Authors Festival, AI Plagiarism Traps, and the Truth About Publishing

Darlene Williams is the founder and president of the Black Authors Festival, held annually in Sag Harbor, New York and Atlanta, Georgia. She is also a certified personal and professional development coach, college educator, literacy advocate, and founder of the Higher Level Method publishing imprint.

In this episode of Diversified Game, Darlene Williams joins Kellen Coleman for a powerful conversation on literacy, publishing, banned books, AI writing risks, and the deeper cost of illiteracy in Black America.

Darlene shares why literacy is more than reading. It is access, power, political awareness, economic mobility, and self-determination. She also discusses the story of her husband, whose life shows what literacy can unlock: from juvenile detention and prison, to teaching himself to read behind bars, earning his GED, tutoring more than 200 inmates, graduating summa cum laude with his master’s degree, teaching at the college level, becoming a licensed social worker in two states, and graduating from Columbia University.

This conversation goes deep on why banned books matter, how Black history is being erased, why critical thinking must be taught early, and what authors need to understand before trusting AI to write or publish their work.

Coach Darlene does not give quick fixes. She gives truth.

"AI is just refrigeration for us. Now, are you going to create your own Coca-Cola?" — Shameem Shah

What separates a real, scalable AI build from something you slapped together on a no-code tool? On this episode of Diversified Game, Kellen Coleman sits down with Shameem Shah, founder of Xpentor, a software and technology consulting firm out of New Jersey serving insurance, higher education, NGOs, and government since 2008.

Shameem breaks down the shift from generative AI to agentic AI, why most no-code builds fail to scale without the right data model and architectural foundation, and how his team uses AI to crush compliance and speed-to-market in the insurance industry.

We get into his internal tool Cognax, real use cases from medical colleges to underwriting, why an MVP at $2,000 to $5,000 beats a blind $100,000 commitment, and his big-picture take on where AI is taking all of us.

"You can't really stay in the business to have it grow. You have to train people, put them in place." — Marcia Davis

What does it take to run multiple restaurants, event centers, and once 37 Airbnbs without burning it all down? On this episode of Diversified Game, Kellen Coleman sits down with Marcia Davis, restaurateur and entrepreneur who moved from St. Louis to Atlanta with her husband Chef Mark Davis and built a self-taught empire from a 2011 catering company.

Marcia breaks down the difference between owning a ton of businesses and owning five successful ones, why she moves slow and strategic, how she mastered payroll, hiring, and systems through trial and error, and why she sold off her Airbnb arbitrage at the right time. We get into raising kids with an ownership mindset, putting them out at 18 to learn real life, community give-backs, and why she still answers her own DMs for free.
