    Heartbreak. A move across the country. A food blog that blew up. Alex Hill turned every plot twist into a plateful of possibility. Rodney and Travis dig in on how she built her Just Add Hot Sauce brand from her kitchen table, found financial freedom without a formula, and learned that the real flex isn’t the partnership—it’s the peace of mind.

    Organic Evolution with Melvin Rodriguez of Mielle Organics

    When your brand explodes, the culture has questions: equity, ownership, and that tired “sellout” label.

    Playing Chess with Gerry Lopez

    Gerry Lopez came to the U.S. as an infant, earned his way through GW and Harvard, and rewired industries at Starbucks and AMC—always measuring success by more than money.

    Meet the Wealth Break Hosts: Rodney Williams

    Forget the polished bios. In this solo episode, Rodney Williams strips it all back. Raised in a Jamaican-American household where his mom worked three jobs—nurse, hairdresser, daycare provider—and his dad fixed everything from cabinets to cars, Rodney learned early what hustle looked like. But building something lasting meant unlearning a lot too. From corporate life at Procter & Gamble to co-founding a fintech startup, Rodney shares the tough calls, the personal costs, and the moments of doubt most success stories skip. This is what it really looks like to bet on yourself—and keep going. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Before she founded Black Girl Sunscreen and got her brand on the shelves of 20,000 stores, Shontay Lundy quit her corporate job without a plan—just savings, vision, and belief. Rodney sits down with Shontay to talk about walking away from the golden handcuffs, building a category-defining brand from scratch, and what it really means to lead with confidence and care in an unforgiving industry.

    Meet the Wealth Break Hosts: Travis Holoway

    What makes someone leave a six-figure job to sleep on a friend’s floor and chase a startup idea no one believed in yet? In this unfiltered solo episode, Travis Holoway shares the version of his success story you won’t find on LinkedIn. Raised in Cleveland by two generations of strong Black women, Travis became a financial advisor before realizing the system he was working in wasn’t built for the people he cared about. So he left it—and started building something better. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Legacy Starts Now with Tiffany Graddick

    Harvard Law grad. Entertainment lawyer. Advocate for the underdog. Tiffany Graddick’s path wasn’t handed to her—it was built through cold calls, career pivots, and financial trial and error. Rodney and Travis sit down with Tiffany to talk about choosing joy over golden handcuffs, the lessons she learned from debt, and why real wealth means freedom, not flash.
