We're taking a step back today to discuss something fundamental: our 'big why'. It's the driving force that propels us out of bed each morning and informs our every decision. Our big why is the reason, the purpose, and the motivation behind the choices we make, especially when it comes to wealth creation.Joining us for that conversation is Koren Bowman. Originally hailing from Newark, New Jersey, Koren is not only a proud graduate of Virginia State University with a degree in economics and finance, but she's also a trailblazer. In 2021, she made history as the first African-American woman to assume the owner and operating principal position at Keller Williams Premier in the Carolinas region. Nationally, she's only the seventh to achieve this honor.Beyond these commendable professional milestones, Koren also has an impressive service record. Serving on the social equity task force, she's been recognized as one of the national ambassadors, and she founded the nonprofit, Christ Saves Hearts Foundation, which champions heart health awareness while generously providing scholarships to minority students and families in dire need.Koren's advocacy doesn't end there. A staunch believer in wealth accumulation via homeownership, she, along with her husband Marcus, have established a multimillion-dollar real estate investment enterprise. Their mission is clear: to reshape the real estate sector, inspiring and uplifting individuals and local enterprises through impactful wealth-building initiatives. Her mission aligns seamlessly with our very essence here at The Color of Money.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFind more at www.kurealestate.comKoren’s Christ Saves Heart FoundationFollow KU Real Estate Group on FacebookRead Identity Leadership by Stedman GrahamConnect 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: @JuliaLashayProduced by NOVA Media

Allen is an author, speaker, broker, and developer CEO of AJ Team Realty. He’s the best-selling author of “50 Things Your Real Estate Agent Should Tell You But Probably Won’t.”If there’s one thing that stands out about Allen, it’s his authenticity. He's always maintained that it's harder pretending to be someone else, which is why he's always unapologetically himself. In this candid conversation, we're diving into the power and significance of having the right connections and how they directly influence one's net worth. Are connections just fleeting associations, or are they deeply embedded in our success stories? Join us as we unpack this intriguing topic.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyJoin the BRN Black Realtors NetworkConnect with Allen Johnson on LinkedInFind out more at KW WealthRead How to Win Friends and Influence PeopleRead 7L: The Seven Levels of CommunicationConnect 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: @JuliaLashayProduced by NOVA Media

Today, we’re delving into the daring move of leaving a six-figure job for the seemingly unpredictable tides of real estate.Our guest, John Clidy, exemplifies this boldness – he literally wrote the book on it, aptly named “Leaving Six Figures.” Once deeply entrenched in law enforcement as a detective Sergeant for the New Jersey state police, John's two-decade service took a surprising turn. Drawn to the vast horizons of real estate, he relinquished his secure six-figure salary and pending pension, plunging headfirst into a new realm. Quickly rising through the ranks, John's now a significant presence in real estate, boasting titles like Divisional Leader and Regional Director for Pennsylvania, and affiliations with powerhouses like Keller Williams Realty. His track record, from managing multiple franchises to helming the prolific Clidy Group, speaks volumes.Join us, as we unpack John's inspiring journey from the force to the field, showcasing the spirit needed to chase true passion.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyThe Clidy GroupWatch: Leaving Six Figures PodcastRead: Leaving Six FiguresRead: The Millionaire Real Estate AgentConnect 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: @JuliaLashayProduced by NOVA Media

Because building a wealth mindset isn't solely about having more money — it's about fostering a positive, empowering relationship with your finances.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyRead: Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert KiyosakiConnect 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: @JuliaLashayProduced by NOVA Media

It's time to acknowledge the truth about the color of money: it's green, and it spends the same way, regardless of who's spending it.In this episode, we're diving deep into the concept of wealth building and its significance to the Black community. Join us as we explain the wealth gap and its implications. With the average white family holding $184,000 in wealth compared to $23,000 in the average Black household, the disparity is glaring. These differences extend to other areas too, like education and home ownership.Let's unpack the complex issues around wealth, the racial wealth gap, and the vital role of education in narrowing this divide. We'll primarily be exploring strategies to overcome these barriers and shrink the racial wealth gap, starting with home ownership, a principal means of wealth accumulation in the United States.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyConnect 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: @JuliaLashayProduced by NOVA Media
