  • “We have the power to mold the world and produce meaningful work.” In this episode, I sit down with Courtney Hale to discuss the lack of financial literacy in all, but specifically, lower-income communities, and how teaching children at a young age can create powerful habits and behaviors as well as instill confidence surrounding money. Learn how Courtney was able to launch a program designed to help families and schools teach their kids about money as well as the positive effects this has on our communities.

    Courtney Hale is a dreamer, social entrepreneur, financial literacy advocate, adjunct professor, and real estate investor. However, his most important title is Father to his daughter Ever.

    Courtney is the Founder and Chief Hope Dealer of knowledgeBANK, a social enterprise that creates experiences to improve the financial literacy of youth. Through this work, Courtney has helped young people save over $300,000 and set over 1,000 personal financial goals.

    Courtney is the creator of the Super Money Kids, the Super Money Bank, and the Super Money curriculum which are designed to not only teach kids the foundations of money but are also used to support achievement in numeracy.

    Courtney has appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and received several awards and acknowledgments from the Nashville Business Journal, Nashville Chamber of Commerce, and Tennessee State University amongst several others.

With a belief that investing time in people is the best investment that can be made, Chris has built a strong network that has helped catapult Fort to where it is today.

  • In this episode, Kent and I discuss the importance of keeping your dream alive and taking actionable steps towards making that dream a reality. It’s easy to read books, go to conferences, and watch YouTube videos, but the real change comes from putting what we’ve learned into practice. Kent shares his perspective on success and how those who achieve their dreams are relentless, driven, and continue to chase their dream despite the hardships and failures that inevitably follow. It’s all about perspective, so wake up to the real possibilities in today’s amazing real estate market and beyond.

    Kent is the founder and CEO of Real Estate Worldwide, where he leads an amazing team of individuals that are focused on building disruptive systems that push the entrepreneur dream and the real estate industry forward.

    He stands for integrity, ideas, companies, and products that allow entrepreneurs to not only “learn” what it takes to live a successful life on every level, but the tools and strategies to create real change on a daily level. Kent feels as though we have a gift and it is our responsibility to share that gift with the world and ensure that people respond. He stands against the nay-sayers and the dream killers and further stands against ideas, dogma, and businesses that prey on the weak-minded and in cultivating a “herd mentality”.

    Through Real Estate Worldwide, Kent invests and builds entrepreneurial-focused education products and services that empower individuals to create real businesses, active and passive income, time freedom, and lasting change. Their goal is to help “wake people up” to the real possibilities in today’s amazing real estate market and beyond.

Of course, we’re all about making a MONUMENTAL impact in our communities, so this is right up my alley. Join is in understanding the stigma that still surrounds mobile home parks, how we can change the script, and how this is making a difference in the lives of others.

  • Dr. Lakisha L. Simmons is a first-generation college student, a tenured professor of analytics, and a financially independent AchieveHer(TM). She is the first tenured African American in the Analytics department at Belmont University Massey College of Business. When she received tenure in 2017 she was one of only 51 female, African-American Information Systems business school professors in the U.S. She's been awarded the Rising Star Award by CABLE, 40 Under 40 by the Nashville Business Journal, Nashville Emerging Leader in Education by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce and Susan Short Jones Emerging Leaders Award by the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc Metro Nashville Chapter. She shares real-life goal achieving and simple wealth-building information and tools so that you can achieve your dreams and reach financial freedom. No charting, day trading, gimmicks, pyramids, or confusing terminology. She's been featured in national media outlets for her personal finance work. But she's not from a "wealthy" family. She bounced around schools, lived with and was raised by multiple family members, and felt hopeless as a child. The little brown girl, born of teenage parents, who had no hope, is now financially independent. But she had to shift her mindset and develop grit and hustle to get there. But when she learned that financial freedom could be as simple as shifting from saving to investing, everything changed. ​She loves helping women achieve their goals. She's the CEO of BRAVE Consulting LLC, a women's empowerment training company, an associate professor of information systems with over 40 peer-reviewed scholarly works, Six Sigma Black Belt, app founder, executive director of The Achiever Academy, and living her best and most prosperous life. Join the Money Club where Dr. Kisha teaches women how to create their own financial security through budgeting, debt payoff, investing, and eventually financial independence! But even with a respectful wage and side hustles, she's grown her investments because she lives frugal, not because of what you may think she makes as a salary. In this episode, Lakisha shares with us how she hopes her personal story will inspire other young girls (and boys!) to push through limiting beliefs and use the tools she found through her own journey to financial freedom and success. We will discuss simple financial concepts that many people are unaware of and that could ultimately lead to great financial success. We will also discuss how her experience in corporate America led her to find the keys and tools to not only becoming a leader but excluding leadership and confidence as well. Lakisha says it best, “there is power and impact in sharing”. Join Lakisha as she shares her “secrets” to success.Interested in Impact Investing with Evan and Holladay Ventures for recession-resistant returns and having a positive impact on your capital?
