Recorded live at the 2025 KW Family Reunion during the KWBREN Fest, this episode dives into the real power of real estate—building generational wealth. While commissions provide income, true financial freedom comes from ownership and control of assets. Shifting from a short-term mindset to a long-term strategy is essential for breaking systemic barriers and creating lasting wealth.The conversation highlights personal journeys of overcoming financial setbacks, scaling businesses, and navigating an industry with few Black owners. From bouncing back after bankruptcy to flipping million-dollar homes and investing in rental properties, these stories emphasize persistence, strategy, and the importance of community. Ownership isn’t just about personal success—it’s about creating opportunities for future generations.Wealth-building is a combination of vision, mentorship, and smart financial moves. Surrounding yourself with the right people, diversifying income streams, and employing tax strategies can turn short-term wins into long-term security. This episode offers an inspiring look at what’s possible when real estate is used as a tool not just to earn, but to build a lasting legacy.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyBecome 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.
