In this episode of Black Out, we’re joined by Ashley Barron for a wide-ranging conversation on culture, history, politics, and the issues shaping the Black community. We debate the use of the N-word, disparities in the justice system, how traditional world maps distort our perception of Africa, hidden historical facts, the upcoming midterm elections, separation vs. integration, and the role of “edutainment” in educating the culture. The conversation continues with a breakdown of PowerNomics, relationships and how much of your past should be shared with a partner, who deserves an invitation when you level up, and what continues to drive successful people after they’ve already made money. We also discuss John Morgan’s perspective on the number needed to truly be financially free. Finally, we get into men publicly speaking about other men when women are involved, modern etiquette, the return of Ye, and what financial freedom actually looks like. Another unfiltered episode covering money, relationships, culture, politics, history, and everything in between.
