In this explosive conversation, James Hill, founder of Black Millionaires, breaks down the real rules of the game that most people are too scared to say out loud.

At 25, Darius built a thriving home decor brand through dropshipping, pulling in over $40K/month from his laptop. But in the middle of burnout, he trusted an older “mentor” who offered to help him scale. What started as a partnership turned into betrayal. One contract. One signature. And he lost everything, his brand, his revenue, even his slogan.

In this episode, Xavier exposes how paperwork, pressure, and misplaced trust can destroy a business.

We unpack the red flags, the lessons, and the painful truth: being the creator doesn’t mean you’re the owner.

In this episode, we follow a successful entrepreneur who built a multi-million dollar portfolio and believed love didn’t need legal protection. No prenup. No backup plan.

But when betrayal came wrapped in silence and court papers, it nearly cost him everything.

This story isn't just about relationships, it's about risk management, legacy protection, and the financial devastation that can follow emotional decisions.
