    How Humble Lukanga Went from Ugandan Refugee to Managing Hollywood’s Elite

    What does it mean to go from surviving war to managing wealth? Humble Lukanga’s life reads like a movie script. Born in a small village in Uganda and forced to flee genocide as a child, he landed in the U.S. with little more than hope and grit. Today, he's the founder of Life Line Financial Group — a Beverly Hills firm with a waitlist of clients, including Issa Rae and DeAndre Hopkins — and a mission to create generational freedom for Black families. In this powerful conversation, Humble unpacks:• How fleeing violence shaped his relationship with money• Why most financial advice misses the mark for first-gen wealth builders• His unique approach to helping clients align their spending with their values• What it means to be a steward of legacy — not just luxury “There’s a difference between rich and free,” Humble tells us. “We’re in the business of helping people get free.” This episode isn’t just about managing money — it’s about managing meaning. Tap in to hear how one man’s improbable journey is reshaping what wealth looks like, and who gets to build it.

    Phonz Terrell on SPILL, Black Twitter & Building the Next Culture-First Platform

    What do you do when the platform you helped shape no longer reflects your values? If you're Phonz Terrell, you build something better. After leading award-winning social teams at Twitter, HBO, and Showtime — and getting laid off with 3,700 others — Phonz co-founded SPILL: a new kind of social platform made by and for the culture. One year later, he’s on CNN’s Risk Takers list alongside Sam Altman and Telfar Clemens. In this episode, Phonz breaks down:• Why SPILL is more than just “Black Twitter 2.0” — and how it centers the communities that shape internet culture• The moment he realized it was time to start his own platform• What it really takes to raise capital as a Black founder in tech• How he found the right co-founder (hint: it’s deeper than resumes)• The mission to create safer, more equitable digital spaces — without selling out “Culture has always been the product. We’re just finally building the platform around it.” Phonz isn’t just creating an app — he’s building a movement. Tap in for a conversation about purpose, power, and designing tech that reflects us.
