In this episode of Earn Your Leisure, we sit down with Detroit’s own Skilla Baby for a powerful conversation about music, money, real estate, survival, and legacy. Skilla breaks down how he’s built relationships in Detroit, why giving back matters to him, and how he’s earned massive returns flipping houses and investing in properties throughout the city. We also dive into the personal side of success. Skilla opens up about survivor’s remorse, being shot, paranoia, forgiveness, fame, and overcoming one of the toughest chapters of his life. He shares the lessons he learned losing three Richard Milles, navigating the music industry through trial and error, and how he landed a Nas feature on his album. Plus, we introduce Skilla to the world of stocks, venture capital, and long-term investing. We break down why the wealthiest people in the world own equities, the danger of buying high and selling low, and how a lack of financial education can keep people away from opportunities that could build generational wealth. #EarnYourLeisure #SkillaBaby #EYL #Detroit #RealEstate #StockMarket #Investing #FinancialLiteracy #HipHop #WealthBuilding #Entrepreneurship #Nas Chapters: 00:00 Healing Over Revenge 01:11 Welcome Skilla Baby 01:25 Album Nerves and Hoops Origin 03:07 Community Work and Mayor Ties 06:02 Detroit Real Estate Game 11:43 Young Money and Survivor Guilt 15:50 Redefining Detroit’s Image 22:09 Musical Influences and Love Songs 25:33 Shot Trauma and Price of Fame 30:41 Breaking the Cycle for Youth 33:34 Tough Love Lessons 34:46 Right Versus Wise 37:19 Discipline Through Faith 39:55 Leading By Example 42:11 Music Business Basics 45:00 Losses And Leverage 46:56 Investing Mindset Shift 54:33 Acting With 50 Cent 57:25 Nas Feature Story 01:01:09 Album Vision And Legacy 01:05:00 Release Info Farewell Subscribe and watch more videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@EarnYourLeisure Join the EYL community for deeper training and a more detailed approach: https://www.eyluniversity.com Join the number one stock club in the world: https://www.ianinvest.com Invest Fest | August 7-9, 2026 Grab early bird tickets now: https://www.investfest.com
