    Uplift: Inspired by her father, has mentored over 250 life insurance agents and served more than 5,000 families.

    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Brianna Johnson. A dynamic entrepreneur and founder of Legend Life Financial. Here's a breakdown of the key highlights and insights from the episode: 🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Early Entrepreneurship By age 22, Brianna owned two clothing stores and a hair salon in Chicago. Inspired by her father, a long-time financial services professional, she developed a strong entrepreneurial spirit early on. 2. Transition to Financial Services At 24, she pivoted into financial services, initially resistant to the idea due to its lack of “cool” appeal. She passed her state licensing exam and is now licensed in over 30 states. Her company, Legend Life Financial, focuses on life insurance and financial education. 3. Insurance Education & Transparency Brianna emphasizes the importance of understanding the differences between: Term Life Insurance: Affordable, fixed for a set term (e.g., 20–30 years), but can increase if it's an annual renewable term. Whole Life Insurance: Permanent, more expensive, builds cash value slowly. Indexed Universal Life (IUL): Tied to stock market performance with capped gains and protected downside. Universal Life: Flexible premiums, moderate cash value growth. Final Expense Policies: For individuals with health or legal issues, typically lower coverage. 4. Client Advocacy She stresses the need to ask questions like “What type of policy is this?” and to avoid blindly trusting agents—especially those who may not stay in the business long-term. She follows up with clients regularly and educates them on evolving insurance needs. 5. Mentorship & Impact Brianna has mentored over 250 life insurance agents and served more than 5,000 families. She’s passionate about empowering people of color through financial literacy and entrepreneurship. 💬 Notable Quotes “Fear is just false expectations appearing real.” “Everything you want is on the other side of fear.” “You don’t have to work more to make more—you just have to work smarter.” 📍 Contact & Resources Website: LegendLife.com (spelled with a “Z” – LegzendLife.com) Phone: (312) 768-3604 Social Media: @BriannaKaylaJ on all platforms #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Financial Education: She initially lost money in a scam but educated herself in digital currency.

    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Michelle Lilly. A cryptocurrency and blockchain educator and entrepreneur. Here's a summary of the key points discussed: 🎙️ Main Themes and Highlights Michelle Lilly’s Background Entered the cryptocurrency space in 2017. Initially lost money in a scam but used the experience to educate herself. Became the first African-American woman with a master’s degree in blockchain and digital currency from the University of Nicosia. Understanding Cryptocurrency Bitcoin is described as a protocol, not just a currency—used for value storage and transfer. Ethereum is highlighted for its smart contract capabilities and utility. Cryptocurrencies are a hybrid between stock and currency—they have utility like stock and liquidity like currency. Why Bitcoin Has Value Scarcity: Only 21 million Bitcoins will ever exist. Deflationary: Bitcoin undergoes a “halving” every four years, reducing the rate of new coins. Decentralization: Not controlled by any central authority, making it secure and transparent. NFTs and the Metaverse NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are unique digital assets, often used for art and music. Artists can sell directly to consumers and earn royalties on resales. The metaverse is explained as a 3D version of the internet (Web 3.0), where users can own digital land and assets. Empowering Underserved Communities Michelle emphasizes the importance of African-American and female participation in crypto and blockchain. Encourages people to educate themselves and not wait for permission to participate in new financial systems. Practical Advice You don’t need a lot of money to start investing in crypto. Understanding the current financial system is just as important as learning about the new one. Consistency, self-awareness, and openness to criticism are key to success. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
