    The Conversation: Tapping into Your Financial Power...No Matter How Much You Have    Money is one of the most essential things we need to survive, but is one of the things most of us know so little about.    Most of us don't know what's in our 401(k), yet it's OUR 401(k).    Many of us believe the stock market is only for certain folks, yet place our bets on winning a lotto ticket.    Many of us look our paycheck, and lose it before we can even think of a "budget"    On top of this, the majority of us believe that we don't have options to grow our money.    Kevon L. Chisolm and his teenage son Kevon Kamari Chisolm, Jr. aka "Junior Wallstreeter" will share with you why we need to tap into the full power of financial literacy. We don't just mean budgeting and saving.     We're talking about giving your money options to grow: 401(k)s, stocks, and more.    Tune in if you are ready to learn how to start maximizing your money, no matter where you are in your financial journey.    Topics We Cover  Why financial literacy is more than budgeting and saving  How do I become proactive about my money?  Do you know what's in your 401K?  Investment clubs-scams or opportunities?  Opportunities to teach younger children about money  How do I pick a stock?  Bitcoin-good or bad investment?  How do you research stocks?  What are dividends?  Foundation of maximizing your money: How do I start?  Why our community needs to learn financial literacy  Why knowing your history is key to your financial future    3 Important Things to Remember    Start by asking questions  The first step to maximizing money is to open your mind and start asking questions about the financial habits you already have    You can grow your money No matter how much you have, everyone has an opportunity to grow their money through a lot of ways: investing, learning new skills, real estate, and more    Connect with people who respect money Once you are ready to change your financial future, find people and resources (books, podcasts, courses) that can help you reach your financial goals.    The Homework  Today's homework is simple, but requires deep thought...just 3 questions to ask yourself    How much money do you need to be happy?  Where did that amount come from?  Do you ever believe you will achieve the money you need to be happy?        Ask yourself the above three questions     Related Episodes  Episodes 25 The Power And Importance Of Financial Literacy In The Minority Community with Terrance Wyatt    Related Blog Posts  Banking Up Your Mindset: The Other Part of the "The Secret" to Getting Money    Manifesting Magic: Closing the Gap Between Your Obstacles & Your Dream Life Fast with 6 (Somewhat) Easy Ingredients    About Our Guests  Kevon L.

Reggie's dream of starting a college prep academy that focused on helping student athletes has now expanded into a college that offers Associates, Bachelors, and certificates programs (online and on campus) along with branches now getting started in Haiti..with other countries to come.    This transformation, from dream to even bigger dream, is what Reggie and Ken talk about in this follow-up episode.     If you're looking to grow your dream from where it is to where it could be, you don't want to miss this episode.    Topics We Cover  How to expand your dream...when your resources are low  Getting the motivation to take a big leap  How to turn your "failing moments" into learning moments  Creating a dream that is bigger than you  Growing your dreams without a roadmap  Why upgrading your dream is like playing monopoly  Expanding your worldview  Why nobody can tell you the exact way to build your dream  Letting go of limiting beliefs  Taking the right advice from the right people (and why you need to ignore people who can't help your dream)  Where Reggie's dream is growing next    3 Important Things to Remember  You don't need permission to build your dream your way Your dream is the permission    Every dream starts in the dark. Dreams aren't given. They are built as you take action.    To build bigger dreams, find the why Understanding your "why" will helps connect you to other people's "why" for a even bigger dream          The Homework  Following your dream can be harder. Growing your dreams can be even harder.     To help you start expanding your mindset to help you start expanding your dreams, ask yourself 3 questions:    If I had $1 million today to fix something, what would I fix first?  If I were the CEO of a business, what business would it be?  If I were on a reality TV show, what would I want to be?    Related Episodes  Episode 29 Taking Control of Your Dreams with Reggie Calhoun Jr.    About Our Guest  Reggie W Calhoun Jr. is a former college student athlete who turned his experience into a movement.

    Ep.72 | COV1D-19...One Year Later with Dr. Galiatsatos

    The Conversation: COV1D-19….One Year Later   In this follow-up episode, Dr. Panagis Galiatsatos ("Dr. G") is back to talk about COVID-19.   This time around, he is sharing what the medical community has learned about the disease that completely changed the world.   Dr. G will be sharing how to handle the huge amount of information (and misinformation) that comes from the media, vaccinations, and how we can stay healthy going forward.   If you're someone who has vaccination concerns or are confused about news about the virus, this quick episode will help give you the facts to make clear and informed decisions about your health.   Questions We Explore What have we learned about COVID-19 a year later? Why do viruses always come from animals? Should I trust some of the "horror stories" I read? Does the vaccine have side effects? Is a vaccinated person contagious? How should the medical community communicate to people who are hesitant to take the vaccine? Why do COVID-19 use mRNA? Will we need vaccine boosters? What should you do  if you don't get vaccinated?   3 Important Things to Remember Skip the fear, follow the science  Look for information that gives facts, not opinion   The best weapon against a virus is information  Having science-based information that can help the world make the best decision is key to stopping the spread   Make the best decision for you Decide base on YOUR circumstances, not someone else   The Homework As the coronavirus pandemic continued, there was another thing that spread: information. In some cases, this information was helpful. In other cases, it was less than helpful. In extreme cases, it was harmful.   As Dr. G shared, one of the best tools we have to fight against a virus is information. Information helps us make decisions, for our own families and as a society.   Yet, we often don't question where we get our information.   For this "homework", let's focus on the "information" piece of the conversation.    Take a minute to ask yourself the following:   1, Where do I get my information about the COVID-19 virus? 2. Did I trust the information? Why? 3, Did I verify the information? Why or why not?   Think through your answers and ask what those answers mean for your health.   Related Episodes   Episode 53: Dr. G and COVID-19 (First Episode)   Episode 61 Staying Healthy Through the Pandemic   Episode 69: Getting the Medical Help (in a Complicated Health System)   About Our Guest Dr. Panagis Galiatsatos ("Dr. G") is a Critical Care Medicine physician, co-director of The Greater Good, the director of the Tobacco Treatment Clinic,the Co-Chair of Health Equity, and an associate professor of medicine at John Hopkins School of  Medicine.
