Spread that around. Encourage your associates to do the same. Morehouse is not the only institution to have educational interest in Black education and growth. I'm from 1967 Detroit Michigan a Covenant area. You didn't need a degree to live middle class. Further, ask yourself this question. Did George Washington come to America to get a degree? No it was for freedom and liberty first, any fool can earn a degree. Here we are again 😮

Very great gesture. Now have him and his friends and associates and the foundations etc. Encourage other Black Entrepreneurs etc, to raise money for building a Black owned Hospital. There's only one left in America brother. I contribute my time efforts contacts and support to not only this effort but others as well. We must help us first. Jim Crow has only been gone since 1967. It can return. Your degree and education will not save you if it does. Resources will. I could go on but many of our people think they have arrived. Not yet.

I don't care what anybody says...THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST IMPORTANT INTERVIEW DONE BY THE EYL TEAM! Hats off to EVERYONE at EYL that made this possible. And to Mr. Smith for being gracious enough to honour their invitation. He's no flash-in-the-pan-here-today-gone-tomorrow guy. He's not some dude who is on the Forbes list and lost his billions because of delusions of grandeur, ignorant talk and was "cancelled". He didn't do it through sports and entertainment either. He has power and the respect of people who may not even like him for his colour. He can articulate and enunciate words without looking like a sellout. And he isn't into the tomfoolery. Most of the community didn't even know about this guy until the Morehouse incident. I'm just saying...we need to pay MORE attention to guys like this and how they've been able to play at these stratospheric levels for so long.

The main thing you should take from him is how he spent his teens and twenties. What was he doing? How did it prepare him for what he's doing now? Nothing happens in a vacuum. Every step he took are steps everyone watching this video can take. You may not end up where he is but you'll definitely be living better and more importantly, you'll understand the ingredients of success that will teach your children how to do the same. People talk a lot about "generational" this and "generational" that. Well, it all starts with the individual.

America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏

He extended an olive branch to black men at Morehouse paying their college tuition. Those men should be asking Robert Smith how they can serve him.

57:22 Mr. Smith summed up What I’ve been thinking and feeling for the last 2+ years. All of the various pathways to economic empowerment, that EYL and friends have taught us are available to us all. This is our opportunity to participate in this next industrial revolution in a real tangible way. No excuses. Just put in that grind and those 10,000+ hours. We were intentionally left out of all of the aforementioned ways in which other communities created generational wealth. Let’s not let it happen again! Knowledge is power! Impact over everything. Love this community! Thanks EYL & Mr. Smith

I initially started my investment journey with the guidance of a financial advisor named *Jenny Pamogas Canaya.* Her transparent approach granted me full control of my investments, and her fees are reasonable, considering my return on investment. Nonetheless, it's crucial to conduct thorough research before engaging with any financial advisor.|

Thank you, Robert Smith! Your videos have been a source of inspiration for me over the past few months. It's wonderful to connect with someone who shares the same interests. Embracing a minimalist lifestyle for the last 3 years has truly transformed me into a more focused and disciplined.Imagine investing $4,000 and receiving $16,500.

Investing is considered a bedrock in making generation wealth. Most people don't know when, where or what to invest in. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance and ideas.

You're right! I used to have a senior colleague at work who lived well but never had an investment, unfortunately his job was terminated so he went from living well to surviving with his family. If you had invested while you were still working, you would have had another source of income.

That' because thats the narrative that the media pushes(including blaq media) that all we can do as blaq people is tap dance or dribble a basketball. Also a lot of our people don't want to put in the work, or go to school to gain the knowledge, you ask a young blaq person what they want to be and they'll say a rapper, athlete, youtuber, social media "influencer". They don't want to take the path that Robert Johnson, Reginald Lewis, David Steward, Robert Smith, Tope Awotana took.

Keyed in from the beginning. His story about 5 Points in Denver hooked me. Love his points on: Mergers & Acquisitions being an apprenticeship; how he used engineering to identify and reduce inefficiencies in software companies; the ecosystem his Vista private equity firm provides for its portfolio companies and founders. Planning to watch this a few more times, because I was intrigued, educated, and feeling ideas for my own ventures springing to mind all at once. Thank you Rashad and Troy!

All I can say is WOW! A truly excellent and outstanding interview. Definitely worth the listen! He is more impressive than I realized. And he has such a well-versed, intellectual mindset. One thing he said, amongst others, that strongly resonated was "It's economic necessity and its fairness that is going to move our society forward." That spoke volumes! In addition, I congratulate him on The Student Freedom Initiative which I believe will definitely change the playing field and lives of so many people. An exceptionally, well researched undertaking indeed!
