    They Wanted My Freedom” LaRussell on Maintaining His Independence, Roc Nation Deal +More

    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.

    Why Making Money Still Isn’t Enough to Build Real Wealth | Marvin Mitchell

    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 increasesThe difference between flash and foundationHow losing structure can quietly destroy momentumWhy discipline and systems matter more than motivationThe mindset shift required to stop chasing and start positioningHow wealth is built through strategy, not just earningsA 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.

    In this episode, Jay Hill sits down with Chris Simon, a Baltimore-born entrepreneur and operator, to talk about what most motivated people never get taught: the rules of the game. This isn’t about hype. It’s not about quick money or shortcuts.

    Stuck at Home With No Direction? This Conversation Might Change Everything

    In this episode, Jay Hill sits down with JD, an entrepreneur who went from survival mode to ownership by changing his mindset, getting in the right rooms, and building real systems — not chasing shortcuts. This isn’t hype. This isn’t “get rich quick.” This is an honest conversation about discipline, faith, proximity, and creating options when you feel stuck. We talk about: • What to do when you feel motivated but directionless • Why most people stay stuck even when opportunities exist • How proximity to the right people can change your entire outlook • The mindset shift required to move from survival to ownership • Why discipline beats motivation every time • How JD built income through modern investing strategies • Why Airbnb isn’t dead — but the old way of doing It is • How systems, automation, and patience create freedom • Why rebuilding yourself quietly matters more than posting progress This episode is especially for anyone who: Feels pressure to “have it together” by now Is tired of scrolling motivational content without real direction Wants to start the year with clarity, not confusion Is open to learning new ways to build income and ownership You don’t need more motivation.

    CPA Expert: You’re Not Broke, You’re Just Overpaying the IRS

    Most people think they’re broke because they don’t make enough money. The truth? Many are losing money before it ever reaches their bank account. In this episode, Jay Hill sits down with Michel “Money Makin’ Mitch”, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and tax strategist, to break down why so many people — especially entrepreneurs and creators — are unknowingly overpaying the IRS. This isn’t about shortcuts or “tax hacks.” It’s about understanding how the tax system actually works — and why it was designed to reward people who learn the rules. We cover: • Why taxes are the biggest expense most people ignore • How the “ignorance tax” quietly drains your income • The difference between being broke vs. being uninformed • How entrepreneurs legally reduce what they owe • When you should (and shouldn’t) pay yourself from your business • What “write-offs” really mean (and what they don’t) • How travel, vehicles, and even events can become legitimate deductions • The biggest mistakes people make that cost them thousands every year Jay also asks the real questions most people are afraid to ask — about paying yourself, setting money aside for taxes, and how much grace entrepreneurs actually get when they’re just starting out. If you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but not getting ahead… This conversation will change how you look at money.

  8. Isaac Keys: My NFL Dream Ended, But Power Book IV: Force Gave Me a New Beginning

    Isaac Keys: My NFL Dream Ended, But Power Book IV: Force Gave Me a New Beginning

    Before acting, before Power Book IV: Force, before the cameras and recognition—Isaac was chasing the NFL. And when that dream ended, he didn’t just lose a career… he lost a sense of who he was. In this powerful conversation, Isaac opens up about what really happens when success is taken from you, how losing football forced him to confront shame, ego, and identity, and how acting ultimately became the unexpected path that saved him. He shares the reality of going from professional sports to rock bottom, navigating faith during moments of doubt, and learning how to rebuild his life without letting bitterness take over. This episode isn’t just about sports or television—it’s about reinvention. Isaac reflects on the emotional toll of starting over, the discipline required to transition from athlete to actor, and why Power Book IV: Force represents more than a role—it represents the birth of a new chapter built on purpose, patience, and self-belief. If you’ve ever had to let go of a version of yourself you thought defined you, this conversation will resonate deeply.
