Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome to money making Conversations.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's to show that she is the secrets of success
experience firsthand by Marketing and Brandon expert Rashan McDonald. I
will know he's giving me advice on many occasions. And
in case you didn't notice, I'm not broke. You know
he'll be interviewing celebrity CEOs, entrepreneurs and industry decision make
because it's what he likes to do.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's what he likes to share.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Now it's time to hear from my man, Rashan McDonald
money making conversations.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Stephen A was on The Talk today.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
If you watch the Talk, he was promoting his book
Straight Shooter, a book that was basically dedicated to his mom.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Talks about his.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Career when he got fired from ESPN and how he
came back and becoming one of the major stars today.
That's Sue's voicing my intro every Tuesday and nationally on
syndicated and as well A it's on TV and streaming
on TV. That is money making conversation. I'm probably to
say that's the divorce of stephen A.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Smith.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
All Right, Andrew Sean McDonald, as you know, a host
the weekly money Making Compensations Masterclass Show. The interviews and
information that this show provides are for everyone. It's time
to stop reading other people's success stories and really start
living your own. My guess on the show that they
have two of them. My first guest is doctor Robert Watkins.
He is all about building generational wealth. Doctor Watkins is
(01:19):
also known for several works he is authored. I've interviewed
him several times on various platforms that I call part
of our media empire, including his signature financial system and
book Never Chase a Paycheck Again. That's a great title
for a book, Never Chase a Paycheck Again. Doctor Watkins
is also hosting and producing the twenty twenty three Kings
(01:40):
and Priest Men's Empowerment Summit, held on October twenty seven
to twenty eighth at the Riverside Epicenter in Austere, Georgia,
which is located if you're flying into town. It's located
fifteen minutes from Atlanta Hartsfield Airport International Airport. The summit
central theme is to help men live their best lives
in every assay speak mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. The
(02:03):
guest speaker will be my man and so in a
long time Less Brown throughout the event checked his out
this weekend, like I said, through twenty seventh and twenty
eighth of October. Throughout the event, participants can engage with
the Summer's dynamic speakers participating in the thought provoking workshop
and join interactive panel discussions. Things like shark tanks and
all these things will be going down. Please welcome to the
(02:24):
Money Making Conversation Master Class, Doctor Robert Watkins.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
How you doing, sir, wonderful, wonderful, so good to be
back with you. Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well so much. You know, you know you're so inspiring
and sow uplift.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Now now I got to ask you the magazine question
about the twenty twenty three Kings and Priest event, which
is happened in October twenty seven to twenty eighth.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
What's the charge, Well, it's we have a free It's
free for those who want to come and enjoy us
honoring you and many others on Friday night, so it's
one forty nine. If they want to come on Saturday
as well, we'll have a power lunch, a chance and
hang out with the speakers. There's panels. But our whole
thing is ensuring that men work together strategically so we
(03:07):
all can finish strong this year. You know, we need
each other. And this platform does this stuff.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
So you utter the words free. So how they went
to go to a website? Is their number they can
call to get this information because it's a men supported event.
I know you get sponsors on board, but you want
men to come there to kind of for this weekend too.
It isn't empowered weekly for women. We hear a lot
of these type of things like basically what they do
(03:34):
at essence every fourth of July weekend. That's an empowermenty
event for women. We all know that. But I know
you have been an author, a king so to speak
behind empowerment events for men.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Why yeah, Well, when men get in position financially and
we'll become emotionally whole. Our families stay together, our children
stay off the streets. Great things happen when men are empowered.
When they are when they have the resources and the
relationships that they need, their marriagans are going to be happier.
(04:07):
Divorce rates go down, unemployment rates begin to go down,
entrepreneurship rates go up. When men get in position in
our communities and our homes, and that has to be
our focus, especially as young people and especially as minority.
We have to get in position because there's nobody coming
to save our men. We got to work together to
save each other.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Well, it was really true.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
You know, I've lived in born and races in Houston,
Dr Watkins, and lived in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles,
and currently live in Atlanta and every one of those cities.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
You know, black stories, negative black stories lead and unfortunately
a lot of them tied to men in violent crimes
or robbery. And that's that's the image that you know,
our young people that people are other races, especially white
people tend to have of African American men. So we
already stereotype every morning, news and afternoons because of the
(05:03):
color of our skin. And these type of events kind
of like help us out too, because we can fall
victim to the stereotype. You you know, if you keep
telling somebody that that these type of people stealing, these
type of people are Qreat Robbert, you can start doubting
who you are and whether you.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Can be successful in this business.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Correct, absolutely, you know, one thing you always say and
I listen to you intently. We have to change the narrative.
And so we got to get out of talking into
actually doing. And there is a remnant of people, a
remnant of men who say, you know what, enough is
enough enough with the stereotypes. I'm breaking out of this.
But we can't do it ourselves. We've got to come
out of our basements, out of our depression, out of
(05:42):
our loneliness, out of our brokenness, out of our insecurities,
and say, you know what, life is not about me.
It's about me helping another man. And when we do that,
because other races do that, that's how a white brothers
has been able to survive all this time. Our Jewish
brothers been able to survive all the time because they
group together and they work together. But they have to
have a common cause. It's not just about money. It's
(06:04):
about our children and our children's children. We all have
the same cause. And when we come together, this is
no greater talent, in my opinion, than it is of
a black man who's working with another black man. That's
why the world fights so hard to keep us separated.
But when we come together, businesses, families, everything, money begins
to happen, and abundance and gets you benefits everybody, Right,
(06:29):
that's a benefit.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And that is so important that people hear that because
sometimes we just don't care. We just want to stop
the success stories. Again of talking to doctor Robert Watkins
his event that I'll be honored at. You know, tickets
are complementary for the Kings and priests. You can go
to this website kings ink ink as, kingsink dot com,
(06:50):
k I n G, s I n C dot com,
kingsink dot com for the event schedule for registration this
October twenty seventh and twenty eight Again, it's in Austell, Georgia,
which is fifteen minutes from Atlanta's herts For International Airport.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
If you live in that area or you're flying it
in town.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
For event, it's definitely an event, a man empowerment event. Now,
you recently did one in Orlando, correct in.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Florida's Yes, How is that tell.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Us about the difference between the two, because, like I
like to tell everybody, this is not a one off,
this is like his twentieth year. He's been doing this.
He's been reaching back and grabbing you know that famous
photo of a black arm reaching down, another black arm
grabbing in you pulling it up. That's been your mantra.
That's been your manto. Tell us about that other event.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Well, Orlando, every city, as you mentioned, and you live
in many cities, and thank you for for laying that
out force. Each city has its own personality. Orlando is
different than Atlanta. Orlando is a is a new black city,
as I call it. It's kind of maybe where Atlanta
was probably thirty years ago. While there's more than thirty
five hundred people a day are moving to Orlando, and
(08:00):
so Atlanta was like that some time ago. So you
have a lot of new relationships there. And so what
we did in Orlando, we brought together five or six
hundred brothers came together for that Kings in Prices Orlando,
and it was new even so many people. The pastors
didn't know each other, the business people didn't know each other,
the professional class didn't know each other, the media didn't
know each other. So bringing those guys together the room
(08:22):
was really special. Atlanta is a little different because most
people are from someplace else, but most of us have
been there for some time, and we got to get
out of our In Atlanta, you don't know who's real
and who's not right. You don't know who has money,
who doesn't have money. Everybody's falsest, everybody's ringing card houses.
You don't know who's real who's not. Everybody knows somebody
(08:44):
who's a celebrity. Everybody used to be a celebrity. So
we have a lot of false, false narratives that we
have we bring to the table, and so we're getting
beyond that. We're taking down the mask in Atlanta, and
we're saying, listen, you, we know you need money. Here's
how to get We know that you don't have any
real wealth, here's how to get it. We know that
you're walking around with a script and you're trying to
(09:06):
get it financed, and you've been doing this for the
last three years and you're just not getting it done.
You have a group of people who are ready to
get it done. I'm bringing in my best investors, my
best money people, my best pastors, my best ministers. We've
got doctor Tart that's coming, who is a world renowned
Christian psychiatrist to help us deal with emotional issues. And
(09:30):
so we're bringing the best in the brightest to help
men really become the man that they're supposed to be
and having the things that they're supposed to have when
they leave out of there. If you're whatever you're broken in,
I'm telling you it's going to be fit.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I'm going to tell you something, doctor Welkins. I was
just going to come one day. You got me fired up. Brother,
I have to be there because this what happened at
the event. Men will expand their network and build valuable relationships,
pitch their business and ministry to potential and esters for
financial support. Learn from billion dollar real estate producers about
(10:05):
wealth building strategies, deepen their connection with God and your
daily work and business life. It's called faith. Leave a
rich legacy for three generations because at the beginning I
told you about generational wealth and build generational wealth for
their families. That's a lot to say, and that's a
that's something that you are honoring me. Why are you
(10:26):
honoring lit No, Rashaan McDonald, Why.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Are you because you personally mad?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I'm just I'm just a doctor parking When you made
that call, man, I could you said, Rashana.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I'm not gonna say just this.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I'm not even going to the detail, but I was
that was a blessing brother, because I because you know,
because you you you work so hard. I was like,
you was grind men. I'm a grinder, you know. And
this year has been amazing. Man, how things have come
from my company, come to me as an individual and
this King's and priests.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Tell everybody what it is exactly, and why are you
honoring me?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
We're honoring you because of your influence. Since there's a
lot of people that are listening that have influence and
they're misusing their influence. You're using your influence for good
to help people using your platforms. We see you on
social media, we'll hear you on the radio. And the
last time I was on the radio with you, they
were several guys from Houston. They came and they said,
we came because mister McDonald told us to come here.
(11:26):
They flew, he flew his It was like maybe ten
of them, and one guy flew in with his son,
his twenty seven year old son. They haven't talked in years. Wow.
And they got on a plane together. They traveled together,
which was monumental. They came to the meeting and they
got what they needed, and they came because of your influence.
(11:47):
That's just a small part the things that you've been
doing with all these celebrities for all the all of
these years. Man, we thank God for that, but we
think even God even more for the little things that
you've done for men and women over the year to
show us that you care, and that is worthy of
an honor. And I can't wait to stand you in
front of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of men to
(12:08):
give you your flowers as an example to how other
men should live their lives. And that's why we're honoring Wow.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
You know, I grew up with six sisters, you know,
and they made this man. You know, they their four
older sisters. I was a middle child. So that blessing
is from their hard work making me respectful.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I always tell people my I didn't other curse words
until I was nineteen years old, because that was you know,
and because I was afraid my dad.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You know, my dad said, hey, what'd you say?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Boy?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And so I'm old school okay, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
And so when I think about what is happening with
this particular honor, it's more so about me being able
to share my emotional values with individuals who attend this event.
And that's the key really that I get to be
able to take the time like I said. You know,
I didn't really, you know, because I'm just like I said,
(13:05):
I'm a grinder, Ladies and gentlemen. I just sit down
and I just do. And then when I started doing
my research on the event and what they was trying
to do, how can I not be there doing my part,
doing my part? Who if anybody shows up, if anybody
flies into town.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I gotta be there. I gotta be there. And then
my boy Less Brown talking too.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Come on, now, yes, we're excited about Les Brown coming.
He's excited. I was with Less a few days ago,
we were downtown together, and he's excited to see you
again as well. And you know, he said something that
was very key, and he said, he's only done one
other men's conference. Now this is Less Brown right in
his entire career, and that was a man power with TDJS.
(13:47):
He says, He says, this is only the second time,
and it's a lustless career of speaking of almost sixty years.
And so he's got something to say to us men
to make us more solid and for you and him
to be in the room together, boy, and you talk
about power So if there's anything that we can do
(14:07):
to serve you, to serve the men, I don't know
what else we can do, because we want these men
to come and we're learning from Here's what I call
h and you're you're one of these people, fathers of
the faith. You're you burst many of them than many
many many of you fathered us without even knowing that
You've got sons all over the place, and it's important
(14:28):
that the son honors a father.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
While we can I appreciate that, I can't even respond
to that. I just know that this event has always
had incredible global leaders, as is John Maxwell, TDJ, Scruffle
Dollar Dale Browna, that's my buddy right there. And the
fact that it's just not going to be there. I know,
Ran Hudson, that's my man, Chess King gonna be there.
A lot of incredible people going to be there being
(14:52):
honored on this night and this weekend, you know, and
Marcus Benjamin, William Murphy, doctor Sam Chid, Luther Ragsdale's so
many incredible people that you selected for this event. But
the bottom line is that when we come back, I
want to get into that generational wealth. You know that
that whole thing you know you almost shut down my
(15:13):
show last time you was on here.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
People calling me from Houston. How I get I was
calling you?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Man?
Speaker 4 (15:17):

we go here. He's the he's the founder, promoter, producer
of Kings and Priests, an event I will be honored
a bit more importantly, great financial advice from doctor Robert Rotkins.

of Inspiration with Rashawn McDonald.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Following Tameron Hall's bittersweet exit from NBC Today Show more
than two years ago. A lot of people wrote her
off and some said it was a mistake to leave
the show. Well, Tameron Hall has overcome the odds and
now hosts one of the hottest shows in daytime talk.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
Most important to me and for me is that folks
who are at home launching know what they're getting. They're
getting a real conversation. I hope they're getting smart questions.
We are looking for substantive ways to make our lives
better as people, as parents. The human experience is a
common thread. At the end of the day. I don't
want someone keeping me from my dream. I don't want
(16:57):
someone you know, standing in my way. I want inspiration.
I want to be a better wife, I want to
be a better daughter, I want to be a better mom.
And so that's a big part of what we talk
about on our show.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
Now let's return to Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rashaan McDonald.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Welcome back to Money Making Conversations Masterclass. I'm talking to
doctor Robert Watkins his event. If you want more information,
it's Kings ekeww dot Kings Inc.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Dot com.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
It's ki n K I n GS Inc dot com
for more information about the event that happening in October
twenty seventh and twenty eighth as an event that's honoring
and supporting men and walking us through various steps of
being able to make a better life for ourselves. Because
once you make a better life for yourself, then you
make a better life for your family and the people
(17:52):
around you. Doctor Robert Watkins, let's get on to the
financial end of a conversation that always seems to turn
up the phone dolls when you come on the show.
Where do you get your information about financial success?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Well, we've got mister Luther Ragsdale that is coming to
Kingston Trees. He has bought, sold, and managed over two
billion dollars of real estate before age forty, and he's
coming to share about how he did what he did.
That's billions with a bee, and he did it in
real estate. And so I always tell people everybody's not
(18:29):
cut off cut out to be an entrepreneur, but everyone
is cut out to be an investor. What does that
mean taking the money you have and investing it in something?
The question is what should we be investing our money?
In right now, we should be investing our money in
anything that God has made, anything like gold, silver, real estate, oil, commodities, food,
(18:51):
anything that is in its raw material is going to
appreciate when the economy gets economy gets bad, and the
economy is going to get tougher, it's going to get darker.
And so what we do is advise people. I don't
care if you have one hundred dollars, I don't care
if you have five hundred dollars. What if you have
at the end of the month, before you spend that
money on a dinner that you're just going to kind
(19:14):
of burp and it's going away, before you spend that
money on shoes, call Robert Watkins and let's grow that
money that that hundred dollars to five hundred dollars to
one thousand dollars to one hundred thousand dollars to a
million dollars, maybe over four or five years. We can
show you how to do that and do it safely
with very little risk, because it's up to us to
(19:36):
build generational wealth. The bank is not going to tell
you how to build generational wealth. They're going to tell
you how to get in debt to get a car,
or how to get in debt to get a help.
They're not going to tell you how to build generational wealth.
That's our responsibility, and so we're bringing all these people
together to help do that. But if you can't make
the conference, you need to give us a call, and
we don't care what you have. Just have a little
(19:58):
bit of discipline to follow the instructions. We've set people
up to own bed and breakfast and restaurants and hotels
and motels and set companies anything that has been making money.
We've been a part of it. And we have our
own financial company as well to help move you along
a little bit further in life. You know, you have
to have an advisor.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Right because that's the whole thing is that you know,
I went through life and I've done a lot of things,
but I never had advisor that I trusted. I'm gonna
be honest with you, and that's the key word right there.
I have people in my financial planners, but I don't
know if I trust you, because guess what, you really
have to be patient. You have to understand the long run,
you know, like you know, like I said, compound and interest,
(20:41):
that was the word I never understood, and then my
wife said that that's been around forever.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I just looked that though, okay, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Let me realize I could have put something in thirty
years ago and we wouldn't need talking to nobody right
now because that. But because you hear about stock, you
hear about all. But there's simple processes that the bank
won't tell you about. Why is it that we go
to these banks? Let me ask you this, doctor, Robert Watkins,
how should we approach going into a bank?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Should we do some things differently?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Or you just won't win going into a bank trying
to get financial success.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Well, first of all, you have to understand the purpose
of a bank is not to make you money. The
only thing a bank can do at this point is
cash my check. The bank is in I was going
to cuss the bank is in the business of taking
people's money and using it to loan to other people.
(21:38):
That's the whole purpose of the bank. So I told
a group of pastors this morning, I was I was
ministering in black churches bring in nineteen billion dollars a month,
I mean nineteen billion dollars a year. Right, But the
reason why we don't feel it reason why we're not
sending kids to college and building facilities to the elderly.
(21:59):
The reason why we don't fill nineteen billion dollars in
Black America, it's because it's strapping thirty billion dollars in debt.
So when you have a debt mindset, like there's a
better way to get a house other than you just
getting Alan for thirty years. There's a better way of
you getting a part other than getting Alan for seven years.
(22:20):
The cars don't even number worth anything after five years.
So it's our mindset and approach to it. And so
your approach to bank should be I have money, I
have a vision. You need what I have. I don't
need you, you need me. And so the mindset is,
I'm doing your favor by putting my money in your
(22:41):
bank and so for that and I'm doing it consistently.
If I have a job, You're bringing a lot of
power to an entity that is acting like it doesn't
need you, and it does need you. And so the
first thing we have to understand is it is the
mindset of you have the power. Second, maybe you mentioned
compound and interests. Einstein said that is the great money multiplier,
(23:05):
and it really is and that is something that we
all need to learn. And that is something that that
is putting your money to work. As I said earlier,
everybody's not cut out to be an entreneur, but everybody's
cut out to be an investor. You need to educate
yourself on compound and interests and find out which entities,
which banks, or which investment banks, which dots have that
(23:28):
type of mode, that type of strategy to put your
money to work. Because money makes a terrible, terrible boss,
but it makes a great employee. So we have to
talk about how can I put this five hundred dollars
to work? And we have strategies to do that. So
(23:50):
a savings account, it doesn't make sense for you to
have a savings account with one thousand dollars in it
and you have a credit card with ten thousand dollars
on it. It account is giving you one percent interest
as the credit card has twenty three percent interest rate
on it. It makes no sense keeping a thousand dollars there, right,
take a thousand dollars all the savings account and pay
(24:12):
off and put it towards that that credit card. It's
just small things like that that can help you build wealth,
And it was the last thing I will say. The
end goal can't be making money. The end goal has
to be building wealth. There's a difference. The wealth is
is anything that can be handed down from generation to generation.
(24:32):
That should be our mindset. Nobody's gonna want your beat
up jellopey card, and when you die, nobody's even gonna want,
you know, your red bottom shoes, your thirty two inch weaves.
Nobody's gonna want any of that stuff that's not wealth.
So the issue is what can I leave behind for
my children? And that's what I need to work on.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
You know, one of the things that thank you for
that advice. One of the things that when we talk
about financial security at the event, you'll be taken dealing
with men's, especially black men's mental health. And I remember
when I first got my first writer's job back in
ninety three on Men and the Boys. It was starring
Steve Harvey, and every Friday they were white, they would
(25:15):
go to a therapist and I just didn't understand why
these white dudes kept going to these therapists. But that's
you know, that's the number of years ago we talked
about thirty years ago, where I saw this process being
played out at a job. It was accepted in Hollywood
that this was fine. And the black community still is
(25:37):
denying the stress. And we're born in the stress because
of the color of our skin, the way we're being
serious type. So we live a stressful life, but we
are not seeking out mental support. Why is that and
how it's being made available at the event.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Well, it's still made available because one of the major
issues is emotional insecurity is what I call it, and
other communities understand. If I don't keep my life together,
I'm going to be poor. If I don't keep my
mirrorge together. If I don't if I don't keep my sanctity,
if I allow stress to overtake me, it's going to
ruin my health. It's going to ruin my capacity to
(26:13):
make money, my capacity to be productive. If I shut
down and I start shutting other things that are important
to me down, like my children and my family. If
I start shutting down, I'm going to I'm not going
to be any good to anybody. So you're part of
your prosperity and your financial plan has to be emotional holeness.
(26:34):
So that's why guys on Wall Street, who's on tremendous,
tremendous pressure go to these therapists. That's why pastors do it,
That's why business leaders do it. I do it, my
wife does it. We're very successful and we do something
called marriage maintenance. I look forward to those sessions. It's great.
It's keeping me on track, and it's keeping my language
(26:55):
on track's keeping my vision focus, it's keeping me focused.
So it's allowing me to be present with my daughters.
Has allowing me to be present with my mother does
allowing me to be present even on this phone call.
And I have a lot of things going on right now,
but what keeps me focused is those therapy sessions in
keeping me emotionally hall. So the question is why don't
(27:15):
more of us do this? Because we're afraid. We're afraid
to ask for help. We're afraid to say, you know what,
I'm scared. I'm scared of losing my life. I'm scared
of losing my house. I'm scared of losing my job.
I am scared, and there's nobody I can talk to.
That's the money you should pay to go see someone
(27:37):
like doctor Tart, who's going to be at Kings and
Priests and he's going to help you get through that.
And that's a part of that whole unity thing. It's
not just about making money, it's about keeping your life together,
building wealth so you can leave something for this next generation.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
As we close out, the tickets are complimentary for the
Kings and Priest event which is October twenty seven, twenty eight.
As we wrap it up, just tell everybody exactly what's
going down at the event and why. Men men who
want information, men who want to be inspired, men who
want to discuss financial wealth, generational wealth, men who want
to be in a position to really tap into mental wholeness,
(28:13):
mental strength, and mental values they were carriative to the
next level. Tell us about the event as we wrap
up the interview and it thank you sir for coming
on my show, Money Making Conversation Master Class.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Well, it's always a pleasure to talk to a father
in the safe. You know. The reason why this is
so important is because men we need each other. One
of the big studies right now that's happening in this
economy is that men are facing loneliness. And when you're lonely,
when you're by yourself, you feel like nobody understands. It's
just a really, really difficult place to be, but I
(28:44):
believe that every man and every woman that's listening here,
you have a vision, you have a purpose, there's something
greater you're supposed to be doing, and we're going to
help men just do just that. You're going to be
a better father, a better husband, a better lover to
your wife. You're going to be present in all your things,
and you're going to be uber successful by mister McDonald,
and that's what we want from them. And we believe
that when the head gets in place, the man gets
(29:06):
in place in our homes, in our community, everything else
begins to flow. Money flows, love flows, life flows, happiness, smiles.
You make your mama proud, you make God crowd, and
that's exactly where we want you to be. So October
twenty seventh and twenty eight Kingsinc. Dot Com. It is complementary,
but we also have some VIP tickets available as well
(29:26):

everyone there.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's to show that she is the secrets of success
experience firsthand by Marketing and Brandon expert Rashan McDonald. I
will know he's giving me advice on many occasions. And
in case you didn't notice, I'm not broke. You know
he'll be interviewing celebrity CEOs, entrepreneurs and industry decision make
because it's what he likes to do.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's what he likes to share.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Now it's time to hear from my man, Rashan McDonald
money making conversations.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Stephen A was on The Talk today.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
If you watch the Talk, he was promoting his book
Straight Shooter, a book that was basically dedicated to his mom.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Talks about his.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Career when he got fired from ESPN and how he
came back and becoming one of the major stars today.
That's Sue's voicing my intro every Tuesday and nationally on
syndicated and as well A it's on TV and streaming
on TV. That is money making conversation. I'm probably to
say that's the divorce of stephen A.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Smith.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
All Right, Andrew Sean McDonald, as you know, a host
the weekly money Making Compensations Masterclass Show. The interviews and
information that this show provides are for everyone. It's time
to stop reading other people's success stories and really start
living your own. My guess on the show that they
have two of them. My first guest is doctor Robert Watkins.
He is all about building generational wealth. Doctor Watkins is
(01:19):
also known for several works he is authored. I've interviewed
him several times on various platforms that I call part
of our media empire, including his signature financial system and
book Never Chase a Paycheck Again. That's a great title
for a book, Never Chase a Paycheck Again. Doctor Watkins
is also hosting and producing the twenty twenty three Kings
(01:40):
and Priest Men's Empowerment Summit, held on October twenty seven
to twenty eighth at the Riverside Epicenter in Austere, Georgia,
which is located if you're flying into town. It's located
fifteen minutes from Atlanta Hartsfield Airport International Airport. The summit
central theme is to help men live their best lives
in every assay speak mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. The
(02:03):
guest speaker will be my man and so in a
long time Less Brown throughout the event checked his out
this weekend, like I said, through twenty seventh and twenty
eighth of October. Throughout the event, participants can engage with
the Summer's dynamic speakers participating in the thought provoking workshop
and join interactive panel discussions. Things like shark tanks and
all these things will be going down. Please welcome to the
(02:24):
Money Making Conversation Master Class, Doctor Robert Watkins.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
How you doing, sir, wonderful, wonderful, so good to be
back with you. Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well so much. You know, you know you're so inspiring
and sow uplift.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Now now I got to ask you the magazine question
about the twenty twenty three Kings and Priest event, which
is happened in October twenty seven to twenty eighth.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
What's the charge, Well, it's we have a free It's
free for those who want to come and enjoy us
honoring you and many others on Friday night, so it's
one forty nine. If they want to come on Saturday
as well, we'll have a power lunch, a chance and
hang out with the speakers. There's panels. But our whole
thing is ensuring that men work together strategically so we
(03:07):
all can finish strong this year. You know, we need
each other. And this platform does this stuff.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
So you utter the words free. So how they went
to go to a website? Is their number they can
call to get this information because it's a men supported event.
I know you get sponsors on board, but you want
men to come there to kind of for this weekend too.
It isn't empowered weekly for women. We hear a lot
of these type of things like basically what they do
(03:34):
at essence every fourth of July weekend. That's an empowermenty
event for women. We all know that. But I know
you have been an author, a king so to speak
behind empowerment events for men.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Why yeah, Well, when men get in position financially and
we'll become emotionally whole. Our families stay together, our children
stay off the streets. Great things happen when men are empowered.
When they are when they have the resources and the
relationships that they need, their marriagans are going to be happier.
(04:07):
Divorce rates go down, unemployment rates begin to go down,
entrepreneurship rates go up. When men get in position in
our communities and our homes, and that has to be
our focus, especially as young people and especially as minority.
We have to get in position because there's nobody coming
to save our men. We got to work together to
save each other.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Well, it was really true.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
You know, I've lived in born and races in Houston,
Dr Watkins, and lived in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles,
and currently live in Atlanta and every one of those cities.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
You know, black stories, negative black stories lead and unfortunately
a lot of them tied to men in violent crimes
or robbery. And that's that's the image that you know,
our young people that people are other races, especially white
people tend to have of African American men. So we
already stereotype every morning, news and afternoons because of the
(05:03):
color of our skin. And these type of events kind
of like help us out too, because we can fall
victim to the stereotype. You you know, if you keep
telling somebody that that these type of people stealing, these
type of people are Qreat Robbert, you can start doubting
who you are and whether you.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Can be successful in this business.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Correct, absolutely, you know, one thing you always say and
I listen to you intently. We have to change the narrative.
And so we got to get out of talking into
actually doing. And there is a remnant of people, a
remnant of men who say, you know what, enough is
enough enough with the stereotypes. I'm breaking out of this.
But we can't do it ourselves. We've got to come
out of our basements, out of our depression, out of
(05:42):
our loneliness, out of our brokenness, out of our insecurities,
and say, you know what, life is not about me.
It's about me helping another man. And when we do that,
because other races do that, that's how a white brothers
has been able to survive all this time. Our Jewish
brothers been able to survive all the time because they
group together and they work together. But they have to
have a common cause. It's not just about money. It's
(06:04):
about our children and our children's children. We all have
the same cause. And when we come together, this is
no greater talent, in my opinion, than it is of
a black man who's working with another black man. That's
why the world fights so hard to keep us separated.
But when we come together, businesses, families, everything, money begins
to happen, and abundance and gets you benefits everybody, Right,
(06:29):
that's a benefit.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And that is so important that people hear that because
sometimes we just don't care. We just want to stop
the success stories. Again of talking to doctor Robert Watkins
his event that I'll be honored at. You know, tickets
are complementary for the Kings and priests. You can go
to this website kings ink ink as, kingsink dot com,
(06:50):
k I n G, s I n C dot com,
kingsink dot com for the event schedule for registration this
October twenty seventh and twenty eight Again, it's in Austell, Georgia,
which is fifteen minutes from Atlanta's herts For International Airport.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
If you live in that area or you're flying it
in town.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
For event, it's definitely an event, a man empowerment event. Now,
you recently did one in Orlando, correct in.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Florida's Yes, How is that tell.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Us about the difference between the two, because, like I
like to tell everybody, this is not a one off,
this is like his twentieth year. He's been doing this.
He's been reaching back and grabbing you know that famous
photo of a black arm reaching down, another black arm
grabbing in you pulling it up. That's been your mantra.
That's been your manto. Tell us about that other event.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Well, Orlando, every city, as you mentioned, and you live
in many cities, and thank you for for laying that
out force. Each city has its own personality. Orlando is
different than Atlanta. Orlando is a is a new black city,
as I call it. It's kind of maybe where Atlanta
was probably thirty years ago. While there's more than thirty
five hundred people a day are moving to Orlando, and
(08:00):
so Atlanta was like that some time ago. So you
have a lot of new relationships there. And so what
we did in Orlando, we brought together five or six
hundred brothers came together for that Kings in Prices Orlando,
and it was new even so many people. The pastors
didn't know each other, the business people didn't know each other,
the professional class didn't know each other, the media didn't
know each other. So bringing those guys together the room
(08:22):
was really special. Atlanta is a little different because most
people are from someplace else, but most of us have
been there for some time, and we got to get
out of our In Atlanta, you don't know who's real
and who's not right. You don't know who has money,
who doesn't have money. Everybody's falsest, everybody's ringing card houses.
You don't know who's real who's not. Everybody knows somebody
(08:44):
who's a celebrity. Everybody used to be a celebrity. So
we have a lot of false, false narratives that we
have we bring to the table, and so we're getting
beyond that. We're taking down the mask in Atlanta, and
we're saying, listen, you, we know you need money. Here's
how to get We know that you don't have any
real wealth, here's how to get it. We know that
you're walking around with a script and you're trying to
(09:06):
get it financed, and you've been doing this for the
last three years and you're just not getting it done.
You have a group of people who are ready to
get it done. I'm bringing in my best investors, my
best money people, my best pastors, my best ministers. We've
got doctor Tart that's coming, who is a world renowned
Christian psychiatrist to help us deal with emotional issues. And
(09:30):
so we're bringing the best in the brightest to help
men really become the man that they're supposed to be
and having the things that they're supposed to have when
they leave out of there. If you're whatever you're broken in,
I'm telling you it's going to be fit.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I'm going to tell you something, doctor Welkins. I was
just going to come one day. You got me fired up. Brother,
I have to be there because this what happened at
the event. Men will expand their network and build valuable relationships,
pitch their business and ministry to potential and esters for
financial support. Learn from billion dollar real estate producers about
(10:05):
wealth building strategies, deepen their connection with God and your
daily work and business life. It's called faith. Leave a
rich legacy for three generations because at the beginning I
told you about generational wealth and build generational wealth for
their families. That's a lot to say, and that's a
that's something that you are honoring me. Why are you
(10:26):
honoring lit No, Rashaan McDonald, Why.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Are you because you personally mad?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I'm just I'm just a doctor parking When you made
that call, man, I could you said, Rashana.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I'm not gonna say just this.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I'm not even going to the detail, but I was
that was a blessing brother, because I because you know,
because you you you work so hard. I was like,
you was grind men. I'm a grinder, you know. And
this year has been amazing. Man, how things have come
from my company, come to me as an individual and
this King's and priests.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Tell everybody what it is exactly, and why are you
honoring me?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
We're honoring you because of your influence. Since there's a
lot of people that are listening that have influence and
they're misusing their influence. You're using your influence for good
to help people using your platforms. We see you on
social media, we'll hear you on the radio. And the
last time I was on the radio with you, they
were several guys from Houston. They came and they said,
we came because mister McDonald told us to come here.
(11:26):
They flew, he flew his It was like maybe ten
of them, and one guy flew in with his son,
his twenty seven year old son. They haven't talked in years. Wow.
And they got on a plane together. They traveled together,
which was monumental. They came to the meeting and they
got what they needed, and they came because of your influence.
(11:47):
That's just a small part the things that you've been
doing with all these celebrities for all the all of
these years. Man, we thank God for that, but we
think even God even more for the little things that
you've done for men and women over the year to
show us that you care, and that is worthy of
an honor. And I can't wait to stand you in
front of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of men to
(12:08):
give you your flowers as an example to how other
men should live their lives. And that's why we're honoring Wow.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
You know, I grew up with six sisters, you know,
and they made this man. You know, they their four
older sisters. I was a middle child. So that blessing
is from their hard work making me respectful.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I always tell people my I didn't other curse words
until I was nineteen years old, because that was you know,
and because I was afraid my dad.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You know, my dad said, hey, what'd you say?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Boy?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And so I'm old school okay, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
And so when I think about what is happening with
this particular honor, it's more so about me being able
to share my emotional values with individuals who attend this event.
And that's the key really that I get to be
able to take the time like I said. You know,
I didn't really, you know, because I'm just like I said,
(13:05):
I'm a grinder, Ladies and gentlemen. I just sit down
and I just do. And then when I started doing
my research on the event and what they was trying
to do, how can I not be there doing my part,
doing my part? Who if anybody shows up, if anybody
flies into town.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I gotta be there. I gotta be there. And then
my boy Less Brown talking too.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Come on, now, yes, we're excited about Les Brown coming.
He's excited. I was with Less a few days ago,
we were downtown together, and he's excited to see you
again as well. And you know, he said something that
was very key, and he said, he's only done one
other men's conference. Now this is Less Brown right in
his entire career, and that was a man power with TDJS.
(13:47):
He says, He says, this is only the second time,
and it's a lustless career of speaking of almost sixty years.
And so he's got something to say to us men
to make us more solid and for you and him
to be in the room together, boy, and you talk
about power So if there's anything that we can do
(14:07):
to serve you, to serve the men, I don't know
what else we can do, because we want these men
to come and we're learning from Here's what I call
h and you're you're one of these people, fathers of
the faith. You're you burst many of them than many
many many of you fathered us without even knowing that
You've got sons all over the place, and it's important
(14:28):
that the son honors a father.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
While we can I appreciate that, I can't even respond
to that. I just know that this event has always
had incredible global leaders, as is John Maxwell, TDJ, Scruffle
Dollar Dale Browna, that's my buddy right there. And the
fact that it's just not going to be there. I know,
Ran Hudson, that's my man, Chess King gonna be there.
A lot of incredible people going to be there being
(14:52):
honored on this night and this weekend, you know, and
Marcus Benjamin, William Murphy, doctor Sam Chid, Luther Ragsdale's so
many incredible people that you selected for this event. But
the bottom line is that when we come back, I
want to get into that generational wealth. You know that
that whole thing you know you almost shut down my
(15:13):
show last time you was on here.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
People calling me from Houston. How I get I was
calling you?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Man?
Speaker 4 (15:17):

we go here. He's the he's the founder, promoter, producer
of Kings and Priests, an event I will be honored
a bit more importantly, great financial advice from doctor Robert Rotkins.

of Inspiration with Rashawn McDonald.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Following Tameron Hall's bittersweet exit from NBC Today Show more
than two years ago. A lot of people wrote her
off and some said it was a mistake to leave
the show. Well, Tameron Hall has overcome the odds and
now hosts one of the hottest shows in daytime talk.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
Most important to me and for me is that folks
who are at home launching know what they're getting. They're
getting a real conversation. I hope they're getting smart questions.
We are looking for substantive ways to make our lives
better as people, as parents. The human experience is a
common thread. At the end of the day. I don't
want someone keeping me from my dream. I don't want
(16:57):
someone you know, standing in my way. I want inspiration.
I want to be a better wife, I want to
be a better daughter, I want to be a better mom.
And so that's a big part of what we talk
about on our show.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
Now let's return to Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rashaan McDonald.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Welcome back to Money Making Conversations Masterclass. I'm talking to
doctor Robert Watkins his event. If you want more information,
it's Kings ekeww dot Kings Inc.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Dot com.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
It's ki n K I n GS Inc dot com
for more information about the event that happening in October
twenty seventh and twenty eighth as an event that's honoring
and supporting men and walking us through various steps of
being able to make a better life for ourselves. Because
once you make a better life for yourself, then you
make a better life for your family and the people
(17:52):
around you. Doctor Robert Watkins, let's get on to the
financial end of a conversation that always seems to turn
up the phone dolls when you come on the show.
Where do you get your information about financial success?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Well, we've got mister Luther Ragsdale that is coming to
Kingston Trees. He has bought, sold, and managed over two
billion dollars of real estate before age forty, and he's
coming to share about how he did what he did.
That's billions with a bee, and he did it in
real estate. And so I always tell people everybody's not
(18:29):
cut off cut out to be an entrepreneur, but everyone
is cut out to be an investor. What does that
mean taking the money you have and investing it in something?
The question is what should we be investing our money?
In right now, we should be investing our money in
anything that God has made, anything like gold, silver, real estate, oil, commodities, food,
(18:51):
anything that is in its raw material is going to
appreciate when the economy gets economy gets bad, and the
economy is going to get tougher, it's going to get darker.
And so what we do is advise people. I don't
care if you have one hundred dollars, I don't care
if you have five hundred dollars. What if you have
at the end of the month, before you spend that
money on a dinner that you're just going to kind
(19:14):
of burp and it's going away, before you spend that
money on shoes, call Robert Watkins and let's grow that
money that that hundred dollars to five hundred dollars to
one thousand dollars to one hundred thousand dollars to a
million dollars, maybe over four or five years. We can
show you how to do that and do it safely
with very little risk, because it's up to us to
(19:36):
build generational wealth. The bank is not going to tell
you how to build generational wealth. They're going to tell
you how to get in debt to get a car,
or how to get in debt to get a help.
They're not going to tell you how to build generational wealth.
That's our responsibility, and so we're bringing all these people
together to help do that. But if you can't make
the conference, you need to give us a call, and
we don't care what you have. Just have a little
(19:58):
bit of discipline to follow the instructions. We've set people
up to own bed and breakfast and restaurants and hotels
and motels and set companies anything that has been making money.
We've been a part of it. And we have our
own financial company as well to help move you along
a little bit further in life. You know, you have
to have an advisor.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Right because that's the whole thing is that you know,
I went through life and I've done a lot of things,
but I never had advisor that I trusted. I'm gonna
be honest with you, and that's the key word right there.
I have people in my financial planners, but I don't
know if I trust you, because guess what, you really
have to be patient. You have to understand the long run,
you know, like you know, like I said, compound and interest,
(20:41):
that was the word I never understood, and then my
wife said that that's been around forever.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I just looked that though, okay, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Let me realize I could have put something in thirty
years ago and we wouldn't need talking to nobody right
now because that. But because you hear about stock, you
hear about all. But there's simple processes that the bank
won't tell you about. Why is it that we go
to these banks? Let me ask you this, doctor, Robert Watkins,
how should we approach going into a bank?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Should we do some things differently?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Or you just won't win going into a bank trying
to get financial success.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Well, first of all, you have to understand the purpose
of a bank is not to make you money. The
only thing a bank can do at this point is
cash my check. The bank is in I was going
to cuss the bank is in the business of taking
people's money and using it to loan to other people.
(21:38):
That's the whole purpose of the bank. So I told
a group of pastors this morning, I was I was
ministering in black churches bring in nineteen billion dollars a month,
I mean nineteen billion dollars a year. Right, But the
reason why we don't feel it reason why we're not
sending kids to college and building facilities to the elderly.
(21:59):
The reason why we don't fill nineteen billion dollars in
Black America, it's because it's strapping thirty billion dollars in debt.
So when you have a debt mindset, like there's a
better way to get a house other than you just
getting Alan for thirty years. There's a better way of
you getting a part other than getting Alan for seven years.
(22:20):
The cars don't even number worth anything after five years.
So it's our mindset and approach to it. And so
your approach to bank should be I have money, I
have a vision. You need what I have. I don't
need you, you need me. And so the mindset is,
I'm doing your favor by putting my money in your
(22:41):
bank and so for that and I'm doing it consistently.
If I have a job, You're bringing a lot of
power to an entity that is acting like it doesn't
need you, and it does need you. And so the
first thing we have to understand is it is the
mindset of you have the power. Second, maybe you mentioned
compound and interests. Einstein said that is the great money multiplier,
(23:05):
and it really is and that is something that we
all need to learn. And that is something that that
is putting your money to work. As I said earlier,
everybody's not cut out to be an entreneur, but everybody's
cut out to be an investor. You need to educate
yourself on compound and interests and find out which entities,
which banks, or which investment banks, which dots have that
(23:28):
type of mode, that type of strategy to put your
money to work. Because money makes a terrible, terrible boss,
but it makes a great employee. So we have to
talk about how can I put this five hundred dollars
to work? And we have strategies to do that. So
(23:50):
a savings account, it doesn't make sense for you to
have a savings account with one thousand dollars in it
and you have a credit card with ten thousand dollars
on it. It account is giving you one percent interest
as the credit card has twenty three percent interest rate
on it. It makes no sense keeping a thousand dollars there, right,
take a thousand dollars all the savings account and pay
(24:12):
off and put it towards that that credit card. It's
just small things like that that can help you build wealth,
And it was the last thing I will say. The
end goal can't be making money. The end goal has
to be building wealth. There's a difference. The wealth is
is anything that can be handed down from generation to generation.
(24:32):
That should be our mindset. Nobody's gonna want your beat
up jellopey card, and when you die, nobody's even gonna want,
you know, your red bottom shoes, your thirty two inch weaves.
Nobody's gonna want any of that stuff that's not wealth.
So the issue is what can I leave behind for
my children? And that's what I need to work on.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
You know, one of the things that thank you for
that advice. One of the things that when we talk
about financial security at the event, you'll be taken dealing
with men's, especially black men's mental health. And I remember
when I first got my first writer's job back in
ninety three on Men and the Boys. It was starring
Steve Harvey, and every Friday they were white, they would
(25:15):
go to a therapist and I just didn't understand why
these white dudes kept going to these therapists. But that's
you know, that's the number of years ago we talked
about thirty years ago, where I saw this process being
played out at a job. It was accepted in Hollywood
that this was fine. And the black community still is
(25:37):
denying the stress. And we're born in the stress because
of the color of our skin, the way we're being
serious type. So we live a stressful life, but we
are not seeking out mental support. Why is that and
how it's being made available at the event.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Well, it's still made available because one of the major
issues is emotional insecurity is what I call it, and
other communities understand. If I don't keep my life together,
I'm going to be poor. If I don't keep my
mirrorge together. If I don't if I don't keep my sanctity,
if I allow stress to overtake me, it's going to
ruin my health. It's going to ruin my capacity to
(26:13):
make money, my capacity to be productive. If I shut
down and I start shutting other things that are important
to me down, like my children and my family. If
I start shutting down, I'm going to I'm not going
to be any good to anybody. So you're part of
your prosperity and your financial plan has to be emotional holeness.
(26:34):
So that's why guys on Wall Street, who's on tremendous,
tremendous pressure go to these therapists. That's why pastors do it,
That's why business leaders do it. I do it, my
wife does it. We're very successful and we do something
called marriage maintenance. I look forward to those sessions. It's great.
It's keeping me on track, and it's keeping my language
(26:55):
on track's keeping my vision focus, it's keeping me focused.
So it's allowing me to be present with my daughters.
Has allowing me to be present with my mother does
allowing me to be present even on this phone call.
And I have a lot of things going on right now,
but what keeps me focused is those therapy sessions in
keeping me emotionally hall. So the question is why don't
(27:15):
more of us do this? Because we're afraid. We're afraid
to ask for help. We're afraid to say, you know what,
I'm scared. I'm scared of losing my life. I'm scared
of losing my house. I'm scared of losing my job.
I am scared, and there's nobody I can talk to.
That's the money you should pay to go see someone
(27:37):
like doctor Tart, who's going to be at Kings and
Priests and he's going to help you get through that.
And that's a part of that whole unity thing. It's
not just about making money, it's about keeping your life together,
building wealth so you can leave something for this next generation.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
As we close out, the tickets are complimentary for the
Kings and Priest event which is October twenty seven, twenty eight.
As we wrap it up, just tell everybody exactly what's
going down at the event and why. Men men who
want information, men who want to be inspired, men who
want to discuss financial wealth, generational wealth, men who want
to be in a position to really tap into mental wholeness,
(28:13):
mental strength, and mental values they were carriative to the
next level. Tell us about the event as we wrap
up the interview and it thank you sir for coming
on my show, Money Making Conversation Master Class.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Well, it's always a pleasure to talk to a father
in the safe. You know. The reason why this is
so important is because men we need each other. One
of the big studies right now that's happening in this
economy is that men are facing loneliness. And when you're lonely,
when you're by yourself, you feel like nobody understands. It's
just a really, really difficult place to be, but I
(28:44):
believe that every man and every woman that's listening here,
you have a vision, you have a purpose, there's something
greater you're supposed to be doing, and we're going to
help men just do just that. You're going to be
a better father, a better husband, a better lover to
your wife. You're going to be present in all your things,
and you're going to be uber successful by mister McDonald,
and that's what we want from them. And we believe
that when the head gets in place, the man gets
(29:06):
in place in our homes, in our community, everything else
begins to flow. Money flows, love flows, life flows, happiness, smiles.
You make your mama proud, you make God crowd, and
that's exactly where we want you to be. So October
twenty seventh and twenty eight Kingsinc. Dot Com. It is complementary,
