- 🚨 THE #1 CAREER TO GET INTO BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE—AND THE COLLEGE DEGREES TO AVOID
Morgan DeBaun joins Earn Your Leisure for an in-depth conversation about building Blavity, raising $12 million in funding, and creating AfroTech. She explains what inspired her journey, why she might have approached fundraising differently in hindsight, and how Blavity generates revenue without compromising its integrity for advertising dollars.
We break down the business behind AfroTech, including Morgan’s strategy for scaling the conference, securing corporate sponsorships, measuring its economic impact, and selecting the right host city. She also explains what corporations look for before sponsoring an event and why entrepreneurs should focus on building great companies that can shape the future.
The conversation also explores the future of technology: the lack of Black representation in tech, why cybersecurity may be the most important career to pursue, which college degrees are still worth the investment, and the growing risks of artificial intelligence. We discuss AI regulation, data centers, China’s global influence, artificial superintelligence, and whether the Black media industry is facing a serious crisis.

13 min - 🚨BILLIONAIRE DAVID RUBENSTEIN WARNS: AMERICA’S IS $100 TRILLION IN DEBT—ONLY THING TO SAVE US!
In this powerful conversation, billionaire investor and Baltimore Orioles owner David Rubenstein discusses his journey from working for President Jimmy Carter to co-founding The Carlyle Group just one month before the historic 1987 stock market crash. He shares the hardest parts of building one of the world’s largest investment firms, now managing $485 billion in assets, and explains what he looks for when investing in private companies.
Rubenstein also breaks down America’s growing debt, stock market uncertainty, recession cycles, private equity, AI, China, and the devaluation of money. He explains why sports franchise values have skyrocketed, the economics of owning a professional team, and the biggest challenges facing Major League Baseball.
Plus, he reveals how he missed the opportunity to own 20% of Amazon and how passing on an early $30,000 investment in Facebook may have cost him more than $100 billion.
