    Is Online Gambling and Sports Betting Hurting the Black Community?

    In this powerful clip of Market Mondays, hosts Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap dive deep into the targeted marketing and massive impact of online gambling on the Black community. Rashad shares eye-opening insights on how billions of dollars have been strategically funneled into promoting online gambling through influential platforms like popular podcasts and celebrities, including Drake and major shows like Joe Button's, Gillian Wallow's, and Shannon Sharpe's. Rashad recounts a personal story, highlighting the rapid growth and consequences of online gambling over the past few years. He emphasizes the risks and negative outcomes such as debt, broken homes, and even life-threatening situations in places like jail settings, urging the community to be cautious. Furthermore, the hosts discuss how gambling, likened to addictive substances such as alcohol and drugs, can ruin lives and disproportionately target vulnerable, poor, and uneducated Black individuals. Rashad opens up about the history of these tactics, comparing it to the lottery practices of the past that devastated his family and emphasizing the need for a broader conversation and investigation into such predatory practices. Troy and Ian add their perspectives on the economic aspects, discussing the financial benefits seen by companies like DraftKings and FanDuel. They advise viewers on the importance of investing in more stable, albeit less glamorous, assets like stocks, real estate, and government contracts, which are often overlooked in favor of more exciting but risky ventures like gambling. The conversation aims to shed light on how the most lucrative and stable investments are marketed as boring while riskier, more thrilling industries dominate attention and often yield smaller dividends in the long run. Join us for this enlightening discussion as our hosts challenge the status quo and advocate for financial literacy and investment education as a means to empower the Black community.

    Understanding the Recent Drop in Eli Lilly Stock - Big Concerns or Big Opportunities?

    Welcome back to another insightful clip of Market Mondays! In this clip hosts, Troy Millings and Ian Dunlap, dive deep into the recent movements in Eli Lilly's stock. With a 26% drop from its peak of $972 to $718, many investors are questioning whether this is a cause for alarm or a golden opportunity to buy. Ian and Troy break down the situation, examining the factors behind the stock's recent performance. They consider the influence of political lobbying and the potential impact of RFK's policies on the pharmaceutical space. The insight provided includes a crucial lesson on understanding quarterly ranges and recognizing when stock prices revert to their normal range after periods of exuberance. Discussing the pharmaceutical giants Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, our hosts highlight the strengths of both companies but ultimately favor Eli Lilly for its better management, competitive advantages, and robust product portfolio. Despite recent earnings misses on key products like Zip Hound and Mounjaro, Ian and Troy emphasize that Eli Lilly's diversified portfolio, which includes one of only two Alzheimer’s drugs on the market, solidifies its place as a top-tier company in the industry. Troy and Ian also share valuable investment strategies, advising against buying assets near their all-time highs and highlighting the importance of patience and long-term holding. They encourage viewers to do their homework, understand the competitive advantages of top companies, and take advantage of market pullbacks rather than succumbing to fear. Towards the end, the discussion turns philosophical, touching on broader themes of financial responsibility, the importance of long-term thinking, and the pitfalls of short-term trading. Ian passionately urges viewers to hold their investments for at least five years to truly reap the benefits and avoid the common mistakes of impulsive selling.

    ChakaBars on The Global Importance of Ghana as a Homeland for Black Unity and Empowerment

    Welcome to the this clip of EYL, where we dive deep into Ghana's rich historical legacy and untapped potential for investments and business opportunities. Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings host this enlightening conversation with special guest Chaka Bars, who provides a comprehensive overview of Ghana's crucial role in African and Western history, as well as its promising future. *Why Ghana Matters:* Chaka Bars opens the discussion by highlighting the deep historical ties between Ghana and African descendants in the Western hemisphere. From the era of slave dungeons to the influential leadership of Kwame Nkrumah, who was a pivotal figure in decolonizing Ghana, the country holds an irreplaceable spot in global history. *A Rich Trading Legacy:* The discussion delves into the ancient trading networks that predated European colonization. Chaka Bars discusses fascinating historical tidbits, such as Mansa Musa and Abu Kari II's transatlantic voyages and the discovery of American substances in the remains of ancient African leaders. The conversation underscores the thriving, long-standing exchanges that occurred between Africa and the Americas long before Columbus. *Colonial Exploitation and Resistance:* Chaka Bars describes the brutal colonial exploitation of Africa's resources and people, focusing on how Ghana's gold mines and human capital were plundered. He reflects on how the Europeans exploited existing practices of indentured servitude, turning them into the transatlantic slave trade that devastated countless African families. *The Year of Return:* He explains the significance of Ghana's "Year of Return" in 2019, marking 400 years since the first enslaved Africans arrived in Jamestown. The initiative invited the global African diaspora to reconnect with their ancestral homeland, thus closing a circle that was violently broken centuries ago. *Ghana Inspiring Pan-Africanism:* The bond between Ghana and the global African diaspora is further explored through the stories of Empress Zewditu of Ethiopia and Marcus Garvey. Empress Zewditu's call for the African diaspora to return home inspired Garvey to create the United Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and the Black Star Line. These efforts set the stage for future Pan-African movements, including the decolonization wave led by Kwame Nkrumah, who incorporated the black star into Ghana's national flag as a powerful symbol of unity and resistance. *Investment and Repatriation:* Chaka Bars also discusses contemporary efforts to bolster the connection between Ghana and its diaspora through trade agreements and bilateral relations, such as the one between Barbados and Ghana. He emphasizes the importance of providing legal and economic opportunities to those seeking to return to Ghana, including citizenship, housing, and jobs. *A Vision for the Future:* With inspiring references to great leaders like Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X, Chaka Bars calls for a united effort to create a thriving, self-sufficient African homeland. He shares personal anecdotes about his involvement in current initiatives, making a compelling case for why now is the perfect time for African descendants to invest in and possibly repatriate to Ghana. Join us in this deep dive into Ghana's past and future, and see why it holds the key to a prosperous and united African diaspora. *Hashtags:* #EYLMedium #Ghana #AfricanHistory #InvestInGhana #YearOfReturn #PanAfricanism #MarcusGarvey #KwameNkrumah #ChakaBars #BlackDiaspora #EconomicOpportunity #EYL #RashadBilal #TroyMillings #Homecoming #BilateralTrade #Decolonization Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

He speculates about the likely legislative push to regulate these coins within the U.S., citing national security as a prime consideration. *Inflation and the Bond Market:* Ian prompts discussions around broader economic concerns, including the recovery of the bond market and the U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio. Mike provides insights into the complexities of managing national debt through controlled inflation, expressing his hopes and realistic expectations about the future economic landscape. He foresees inflation as a more persistent challenge, given the economic signals from the commodity markets and Bitcoin's performance. *Impact of AI on the Economy:* A fascinating tangent introduces the transformative potential of artificial intelligence. Mike speculates on how advancements in AI could revolutionize market dynamics, making processes cheaper and more efficient while acknowledging the associated uncertainties and potential risks. *Key Takeaways:* Mike Novogratz foresees Bitcoin stabilizing above $72,000, with potential growth to $97,000 and even $180,000.Trust remains a significant issue in cryptocurrency investment, with stablecoins like USDT and USDC playing dominant roles.Upcoming stablecoin legislation is likely to favor U.S.-based regulation due to national security concerns.Managing U.S. debt through controlled inflation is tricky but necessary.AI could dramatically alter economic structures, potentially mitigating inflation through increased efficiencies.

    Is the Creator Economy Dying or Thriving? What's Next for the Industry

    Join hosts Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal in this insightful clip of EYL as they sit down with Moksha Fitzgibbons, a leading voice in the media and creator economy. This week, we delve deep into the dynamics of the creator economy and its sustainability. Is it really a recession for creators, as some claim?

Moksha Fitzgibbons shares his expert insights on how successful creators find their niche and deliver value to their audiences, ultimately attracting brand deals with major companies like Samsung and Ray-Ban. He emphasizes the importance of designing high-quality content to break through the saturated media market, despite the barrage of everyday content on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Rashad Bilal raises thought-provoking questions on whether the overwhelming sea of content is overshadowing genuinely valuable content, much like the declining quality observed in music genres such as hip-hop. Moksha offers a balanced viewpoint, acknowledging the increase in access and creativity these platforms provide, while stressing the importance of maintaining high standards and ethical journalism. The discussion also covers the role of critical journalism in the age of citizen journalism and the need for journalists who adhere to ethical standards. Moksha argues for the necessity of trustworthy journalists to provide critical analysis, as opposed to flattery-filled content with no critical depth. Troy Millings steers the conversation towards how media companies stay youthful and relevant in their content creation. Moksha highlights the importance of youth perspective and finding fresh talent to stay ahead of the curve. He shares compelling stories about discovering new talent organically, from behind-the-camera producers to on-screen stars, illustrating the dynamic strategies at play in their organization.
