    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Mildred J. Mills.

    Topic: Life journey, resilience, and her memoir Daddy’s House: A Daughter’s Memoir of Setbacks, Triumphs, and Rising Above Her Roots

    Mildred J. Mills shares her powerful story of growing up on a cotton farm in Alabama as one of 17 children, overcoming domestic violence, poverty, and systemic barriers to become a successful IT executive, author, podcaster, and motivational speaker. Her memoir is a testament to resilience, faith, and self-determination.

    🎯 Purpose of the Interview

      Promote her memoir and its message of overcoming adversity. Inspire entrepreneurs and small business owners with her story of resilience and reinvention. Highlight the importance of storytelling as a healing and motivational tool. Encourage faith over fear in personal and professional growth.

    🔑 Key Takeaways 🌾 Humble Beginnings

    Grew up on a 60-acre cotton farm in Whitaker, Alabama. Picking cotton was physically brutal and emotionally taxing.

    “You’re bent at a 90-degree angle all day picking cotton… it hurts.”

    📚 Writing the Memoir

    Wrote the book after age 60 to heal and share wisdom. Did not consult her husband before publishing — it was her story to tell.

    “I didn’t want anybody telling me… ‘Why didn’t you do it this way?’ It is my story.”

    💪 Resilience Defined

    Resilience means getting up after being knocked down. She credits her mother’s wisdom and her own determination.

    “Failure is not an option… I wasn’t going back to that cotton field.”

    🧠 Faith Over Fear

    Her guiding principle is faith over fear — trusting in the journey despite uncertainty.

    “Fear sits on your shoulder and says you’re not good enough. Faith says walk through the door.”

    🏫 Education & Mentorship

    A white teacher saw potential in her and helped her escape the cotton fields by recommending a tech school. Her father, despite initial hesitation, paid for her education in cash.

    “He paid \$500 in 1969 — a lot of money for a farmer.”

    👩‍💻 Career & Independence

    Became an IT executive, starting in 1969 as a computer programmer. Advocates for women’s financial independence and self-worth.

    “God gave me gifts that I must share… I’m not going to depend on somebody else.”

    📖 Future Projects

    Upcoming book: The Hope Club — explores the impact of incarceration on families, especially children.

    “I’ve seen what such a life can do to children… it breaks up families.”

    💬 Memorable Quotes

    “Do the best you can with what you have.” — Her mother’s mantra. “Don’t expect someone else to pay for your dreams.” “I’m no victim. I’ve never been a victim.” “We’re not dreaming big enough.”

  • 7985 - Financial Advice: Her fintech platform focuses on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people.

    Listen and subscribe to Money Making Conversations on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, www.moneymakingconversations.com/subscribe/ or wherever you listen to podcasts. New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily.  I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur.  Keep winning!

    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley M. Fox.

    Summary of the Interview

    In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people.

    Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally.

    The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20.

    Purpose of the Interview

    The interview aims to:

    1. Inspire financial empowerment

    Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes.

    2. Demystify investing and wealth-building

    She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners.

    3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify

    She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 

    4. Encourage a mindset shift

    Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions.

    Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset

    Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 

    2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing

    She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 

    3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own

    Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 

    4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure

    After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 

    5. Financial Education Should Start Early

    She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 

    6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education

    Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 

    7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point

    Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 

    8. You Must Pay Yourself First

    Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 

    9. Logic Over Emotion

    Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. 

    Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset

    “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.”  “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” 

    On Starting Small

    “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.”  “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” 

    On Investing

    “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.”  “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” 

    On Self-Reliance

    “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” 

    On Purpose and Identity

    “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.”  “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.”

    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Justin M. Lee.

    Purpose of the Interview

    To showcase Dr. Lee’s journey from a young real estate agent to a multi-industry entrepreneur. To inspire listeners with strategies for wealth-building through real estate, construction, and logistics. To encourage financial literacy, ownership, and collaboration within underserved communities. To issue a call to action for minorities to explore opportunities like Amazon DSP and real estate investment.

    Key Takeaways

      Early Career & Education

      Started young in real estate, embraced discomfort in rooms dominated by older professionals. Leveraged millennial tech skills (social media marketing) to help veteran brokers grow. Earned a doctorate degree and became a licensed real estate broker.

      Social Media as a Business Tool

      Built a strong presence on TikTok (90K followers) and other platforms. Helped older real estate firms thrive by creating digital visibility. Emphasized that “business must look as good online as in person.”

      Financial Literacy & Homeownership

      African-American communities often lack foundational financial knowledge. Key barriers: misunderstanding credit, fear of debt, and lack of exposure to ownership benefits. Advocates teaching the difference between good debt (real estate) and bad debt (consumer credit).

      Real Estate Process

      Initial onboarding: credit score, income, tax filing. Connect clients with lenders, secure pre-approval, then negotiate and close within 30–45 days. Uses property tours as motivation even for those not yet approved.

      Pooling Resources for Wealth

      Industry dominated by white men and foreign investors who use syndication. Dr. Lee created a private family fund with fraternity brothers and friends. Acquired 150+ apartment units and commercial properties by pooling resources and forming LLCs.

      Amazon DSP Opportunity

      Owns an Amazon Delivery Service Partner business (42 trucks, 200 employees). Offers minorities a chance to apply for DSP with $10K grant. Taught him true CEO skills: HR, payroll, compliance, and scaling operations.

      Construction Business

      Entered construction after experiencing exploitation in fix-and-flip projects. Learned the business side (permits, change orders) and got licensed. Built major projects like a 10,000 sq. ft. restaurant in Atlanta. Advocates for Black representation in construction, an industry dominated by whites and Hispanics.

      Personal Background

      Raised in New Orleans during Katrina by a single mother and grandparents. Mother invested FEMA checks into real estate, teaching him property management and renovation skills early. Believes knowledge is power and emphasizes planning and consistency.

    Notable Quotes

    On embracing discomfort:
    “I learned to embrace the uncomfort and make it one of my biggest strengths.”

    On social media:
    “You have to make your business look the same way online as in person.”

    On financial literacy:
    “Real estate is always going to be good debt. Bad debt is the Macy’s card.”

    On collaboration:
    “Pooling resources shows how far we can go and how fast we can go—but together.”

    On planning:
    “If you don’t plan, you plan to fail. All you have to do is stick to the plan.”
