- Using Entrepreneurship To Close The Racial Wage Gap | Darrel Frater
“Here in America, the average African American Family has average income of $17.600. The average white family in America has income of $171,000. That is a huge gap and I for one believe that it’s based off of the lack of resources and opportunities and years and years of discrimination and things that have held back other minorities down. And I want to allow color to not be something that determines your status or your income status. I want everyone to have an even playing field where there is resources available to succeed and to earn wealth.”
The son of a Jamaican immigrant, Darrel D. Frater grew up in an entrepreneurial home. From an early age he understood that the combination of education and entrepreneurship presented opportunities to address the racial wage gap in the United States (particularly in urban communities).
Today Darrel is host of the Urban Entrepreneur Podcast, co-owner of Advance Homes Kitchen and Bath Cabinets (with his father), Founder and CEO of Sharpshooters Global, and a partner in a new startup venture called The Urban Entrepreneur Centers of America.
The latter two organizations are geared towards helping youth in urban communities see entrepreneurs as a career path.
Sharp Shooter Global is a consulting company that directly mentors and assists young entrepreneurs bring ideas to the marketplace. The Urban Entrepreneur Centres of America will be physical locations where young entrepreneurs can meet and participate in entrepreneurial education programs. Much of the programming will be aimed at high school age students.
In this episode Darrel talks about the lessons he learned from his father’s entrepreneurial journey and gives us the low down on his plans to support the growth of entrepreneurship in disadvantaged urban communities.

- Side Hustle Millionaire | Tony Whatley
Tony Whatley is a Business Strategist, Public Speaker, host of the 365 Driven Podcast, and author of the Side Hustle Millionaire: How to build a side business that creates financial freedom.
Tony put himself through college by working full-time as a pipefitter and welder, attending school at night. On weekends, he also worked in restaurants to help pay bills. It took Tony 7 years to earn a degree in mechanical engineering.
After graduation he began working his way through engineering design roles, and then into Project Management (including stints in Europe and Africa.
Alongside his oil career, Tony became an expert at creating part-time “side-hustle” businesses. He’s created both 6-figure and 7-figure online businesses, that were managed 1-2 hours a day. The latter one generated multiple six-figures of yearly income, far more than his oil career at the time. In 2007, at age 34, Tony became a millionaire when he sold that company. All of this was accomplished in his spare time.When Tony turned 40, he began to question his real purpose in life. He decided that he wanted to teach others how to become the best version of themselves. In May of 2017, Tony decided to step away from his career in Oil and Gas, and founded 365 Driven.In this episode Tony talks about growing up in a lower middle class family and the impact it had on his early view of the world, the myth that all new businesses need to high tech or feature some amazing new invention that will change the world, and shares the strategies and tactics he used to create his side hustle businesses.

- How To Live Life With Purpose | Emerald GreenForest
Emerald GreenForest has every reason in the world to hate men. Many would see it as a logical reaction from a woman, who for most of her life, has had toxic and abusive relationship experiences with men.
Her father was an alcoholic and a string of boyfriends and husbands were abusive. Two years ago this pattern even included her own son. He ended up in jail after locking Emerald in the basement and threatening to cut her up into little pieces when he was high on homeopathic nasal spray.
At the time Emerald’s was working as a coach and mentor for women seeking to create positive change in their lives. The episode with her son was the “final slap on the side of the head.”
She took some time to reflect and recover, and found a new calling. Intellectually she knew that not all men were bad. She also believed that men needed to step up and do more to create positive change, for themselves, and for society.
Thus was born Men on Purpose. As an executive coach, public speaker, and host of the Men on Purpose Podcast, Emerald has shared the stag, in person and online, with luminaries like John Assaraf a star in the blockbuster movie “The Secret” and NY Times Best Selling Authors like Sark and Marianne Williamson.
Emerald’s message to the men she works with is simple.
Men, let's be clear.
You have the position.You have the respect.You have the influence.You have the wealth.You are called to be a vanguard, a leader in this creative age.
If you enjoy a bit of banter, you will love this episode. We get into topics that make some men uncomfortable. Trust me, Emerald doesn’t back down. Her challenge to us men is straightforward. Be impeccable in your behaviour towards women and you have no reason to worry.
