In this episode of The Mental Wealth Show, host Rich Jones chats with Angela Matthews.

On the surface, Angela is an investment strategist, coach, and founder of the Happy Investor Method, aiming to make wealth inevitable. But through hearing her story, you’ll realize she’s so much more. This is her high achiever origin story!

“And in making a decision, I’m gonna have to honor that decision and expect that Angela in the past knew what the frick she was doing. And this is actually how I treat all my decisions. Like, if I don’t like the situation I’m in right now it’s because it’s something I did in the past, and I’m gonna just have to trust. ” ~ Angela Matthews

“That’s why exercise and running and walking and hiking is so beneficial for your mental health, because bilateral movement is a way that your brain can process emotions that are stored in your body, and it’s a way that your body can bring up some of those things that are buried in there, in your subconscious that you don’t even know are there.” ~ Diania Merriam

“There’s nothing wrong with having a day job. And I’m not saying it’s something that I now want to do forever. But when I think about the greater goals and the greater purpose, I see how it serves that. And when you make that switch and perspective in seeing your job, not as something that’s keeping you in chains, but as a tool that can help you achieve whatever it is, that greater thing that you want, that gives you power.”

Micah Johnson is a self-taught figurative artist who uses strong gestural lines and loose brush strokes to create dramatic portraits featuring African-American children. Although Micah spent seven years as a professional baseball player, you rarely see reference to his career in any of his works.

He sees art as an independent journey with the opportunity to inspire a broader demographic around the subjects of racial equality, chasing your dreams without limitations, and the empowerment of young people.

I’m excited to have Micah on The Mental Wealth Show to discuss his interest in Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and his current opportunity to blend digital NFTs with offline life.

He shares his experience of being a major league baseball player, how he got to that level in his sport, and why he decided to retire in his 30s to pursue other goals. Micah also gives his advice and insights to people who are dubious about getting into blockchain or cryptocurrency and clears up a common myth.

“Rely on people and delegate is probably the most critical part to continue to have sustained growth and impact.”  – Micah Johnson

He shares his experience of climbing the corporate ladder and how he saw his progress as a way to raise others from minority groups with him, by ensuring they had opportunities too. Chris also shares why he has a variety of people in his life portfolio supporting him and keeping him on track with his goals.
