After spending more than two decades building a successful salon, Selina realized that working behind the chair alone wasn't enough to create long-term freedom. Today, her mission is to help beauty professionals stop relying solely on their hands and start building businesses, credit, funding, and financial security that will last long after they step away from the salon.

A lot of people think the only way to make money is by working harder.

Long hours. Physical labor. Doing whatever it takes just to get by.

In this episode, we sit down with Abram Mitchell, who went from doing hard labor fixing car windows in the heat… to making real money in real estate.

Not overnight. Not by luck. But by finding a different path and committing to it.

We talk about how he discovered wholesaling, why it stood out to him, and how that one decision changed the direction of his life. From making his first deal to eventually building homes from the ground up, this conversation breaks down the real progression — not just the highlight moments.

This isn’t about skipping work.

It’s about understanding that there are different ways to apply it.

If you’ve ever felt stuck doing work that doesn’t move you forward, this episode might give you a different perspective.

The crew talks through everything from house parties, Atlanta traffic, hosting events, DJ chemistry, and professionalism, to relationships, first arguments, emotional maturity, and what it really means to understand somebody instead of just wanting to be understood. Along the way, the conversation opens up into bigger topics like inclusion, internalized homophobia, representation in media, embarrassment, starting over, and how people grow through discomfort.

Later in the episode, the conversation takes a sharp turn into language, cultural ownership, and the controversy around Jack Harlow’s album title Ma’Nicca. That opens the door to a bigger debate about Black culture, appropriation, music, race, who gets access, and why some things hit differently when history is attached to them.

This episode is funny, honest, uncomfortable, and thoughtful all at once — the kind of conversation that bounces around naturally but still lands somewhere real.

If you’ve ever thought about professionalism, relationships, freedom, growth, or what it means to love a culture you didn’t create, this one is for you.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott joins the Jay Hill Podcast for an open and honest conversation about leadership, criticism, and the real challenges facing the city of Baltimore.

In this interview, Mayor Scott addresses the allegations surrounding the misuse of city funds and explains what actually happened behind the headlines. He also speaks candidly about everyday issues Baltimore residents care about — including potholes, infrastructure, and the responsibility of leading a city that is constantly under national scrutiny.

The conversation also dives into his public back-and-forth with Donald Trump, the pressure that comes with being a young Black mayor, and why he refuses to change who he is depending on the room he walks into.

More importantly, Mayor Scott talks about growing up in Baltimore, why he always believed he would one day become mayor, and what it means to lead the very community that raised him.

This episode goes beyond politics — it's a real conversation about purpose, criticism, authenticity, and the responsibility of leadership.

Most entrepreneurs think if their business is making money, they should automatically qualify for funding. But that’s not how the system works.

In this conversation, financial strategist Rosie Thomas breaks down why banks and lenders often say no — even when a business appears profitable on the surface.

We talk about the real reasons entrepreneurs struggle to secure funding, how your financials are supposed to tell a story, and why bookkeeping, tax strategy, and proper financial structure matter more than most people realize.

Rosie also explains the difference between simply making money and building a business that looks stable and fundable on paper. Many entrepreneurs are leaving opportunities on the table because their financial records don’t properly reflect the strength of their business.

If you’re an entrepreneur, freelancer, or small business owner trying to grow, this conversation will help you understand how banks actually evaluate businesses — and what you can do to position yourself better.

In this episode, he opens up about turning down traditional label structures, protecting his ownership, and why freedom was never negotiable — even while working with Roc Nation.

We talk about what independence really means in today’s music industry. Not “doing it alone,” but building real infrastructure, owning your masters and publishing, and creating leverage before signing anything.

LaRussell breaks down:

Why he said no to deals that didn’t align

What “non-exclusive” really means

How ownership changes your negotiating power

Why numbers don’t always reflect real life

The difference between support and control

Building a machine instead of chasing a moment

Confidence through competence

He also reflects on growth, ego, turning down opportunities early on, and how his perspective has evolved.

This isn’t a “labels are bad” conversation.

It’s a masterclass in leverage, discipline, and knowing your value before the world agrees with you.

If you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or anyone building something from the ground up — this episode will challenge how you think about independence.

A lot of people are making money.

Very few are actually building wealth.

In this episode, Jay Hill sits down with Marvin for a deep, honest conversation about what separates income from true financial freedom — and why earning more doesn’t automatically fix broken strategy.

This isn’t about hype, shortcuts, or get-rich-quick schemes.

It’s about structure, discipline, positioning, and using money intentionally instead of emotionally.

Marvin breaks down:

• Why many people feel stuck even as their income increases
• The difference between flash and foundation
• How losing structure can quietly destroy momentum
• Why discipline and systems matter more than motivation
• The mindset shift required to stop chasing and start positioning
• How wealth is built through strategy, not just earnings

A major part of this conversation focuses on using life insurance as a financial tool — not as a product pitch, but as a way to think differently about cash flow, liquidity, and long-term planning. Marvin explains how he uses properly structured policies to access capital, invest, and keep money working instead of sitting idle.
