Can The 50-Year Mortgage Really Fix Housing Affordability?

Housing affordability is under pressure, and the introduction of a 50-year mortgage has been floated as a solution. In this episode, we sit down for an honest, nuanced conversation about whether this product is a smart financial tool or a long-term trap.We break down how extended amortization can lower monthly payments and potentially open the door to homeownership for buyers currently priced out of the market. At the same time, we dig into the real risks: slower equity growth, higher exposure to market shifts, and the temptation to simply buy more houses instead of building financial margin.We also explore the psychology behind homeownership, why most people push their limits, and how financial education—or the lack of it—shapes outcomes. A major focus is the responsibility real estate and mortgage professionals carry when guiding buyers through decisions with decades-long consequences.The takeaway is simple: a 50-year mortgage isn’t inherently good or bad. Like any financial tool, its impact depends on how well it’s understood and how intentionally it’s used.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow The Color of Money on InstagramBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

124. Leadership, Trading, and Listening With Intent with Dr. Denise King

Leadership isn’t just about vision—it’s about execution, character, and how well we can actually connect with people. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Denise King, president of Genesis LLC, to unpack what separates leaders who talk from leaders who deliver.We dig into why people development and relationship-building work in every environment—from Fortune 500 companies to nonprofits—and why emotional intelligence has become non-negotiable in modern leadership. Dr. King breaks down what we call “timeout leadership”: listening with intent, asking better questions, and understanding what motivates the person in front of us before we try to lead them.We also explore the differences between coaching W-2 employees and entrepreneurs, how to tie individual goals to organizational outcomes, and why community-building often fills the “emotional bank” when money alone can’t. Finally, Dr. King shares how she shifted from traditional investing into trading—and why skill-building can unlock a new wealth legacy.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow Dr. Denise King and join the trading community on Instagram.Follow the trading community on YouTube.Learn more about Women Who TradeBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

123. Will Roundtree Turned One HARD Lesson into an Empire

In this episode, we sit down with Will Roundtree—financial strategist, author, and one of the earliest viral credit educators—to unpack why credit isn’t just a score, it’s a tool that can either tax our future or accelerate it. Will shares how rebuilding his own credit changed everything, from renting and buying a car to purchasing a home, and why “bad credit is brutally expensive.”We break down the practical fundamentals that move scores: on-time payments, lowering revolving utilization, avoiding unnecessary inquiries, and knowing our real take-home number so we can assign dollars to the right obligations first. Then we zoom out to wealth-building: Will challenges the “never borrow” mindset and explains how debt becomes powerful only when it’s attached to an asset that can service the payment. Along the way, we talk failure, grit, and why learning the language of money changes the game.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow Will Roundtree on Instagram: @MrWillRoundtree  Read Credit Is King by Will Roundtree  Read Full-Time CEO by Will Roundtree  Become a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.
