The Color of Money | Transformative Conversations for Wealth Building

Areas with predominantly Black populations, especially inner cities, have been intentionally divested from for decades. How do we reinvest in those areas without displacing that same population, given the reality of the political and economic system we live in today? Anthony Kimble joins us to discuss exactly that.If bank presidents, government leaders, and every seat of power that created divested areas decided to intentionally reverse those actions, then the problem would be solved. But that’s probably not going to happen any time soon. So how, as real estate professionals, do we do our part?Anthony gives us his perspective as a successful developer in Baton Rouge, including the importance of starting with small projects. He lays out a passionate but grounded case for how we need to unite and build long-lasting economic and political power. This is an episode you’re going to want to listen to over and over again.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow Anthony Kimble on Instagram: @b_anthonykimbleWatch “Creating Ecosystems Through Real Estate & Group Economics by Anthony Kimble” Subscribe to the “How Buy the Block” Youtube channel Learn more at akimbleproperty.comBecome 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: @themenkitigroupFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

But they're talking real estate.Keith is the co-owner of Coalition Properties, a powerhouse business that's done over $700 million in sales since 2019. With stats like that, you'd think the wins come easy. But this year has been anything but straightforward for Keith and his team. From navigating a slow start to restructuring budgets and scaling up recruitment, Keith had to focus on consistency and doubling down on what works — and on top of it all, he faced an Achilles injury that forced him to lean into his team and systems even more.In this episode, Keith shares the lessons that carried him through these challenges, reminding us that "It doesn't matter how you start; it matters how you end." This episode will leave you ready to tackle whatever's in front of you — and maybe even inspire you to hit the court!Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyLearn more about Jennifer Davis, KW MAPS coachWatch the “Success Through Collaboration With Coalition Properties Group” episode of the KW Role Models seriesRead “7L: The Seven Levels of Communication”Read “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”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: @themenkitigroupFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVA MediaThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Change is inevitable; growth is optional. The real estate industry is undergoing significant changes, but good leaders will leverage this shift for growth. In today's episode, we go over the terminology and mindset shifts that need to happen.We talk about shifting the value conversation from "commission" to "compensation" and creating a menu of services for our clients. We also discuss how our conversations with other real estate agents need to be more on point to ensure the process works for everyone.Most importantly, we talk about how to adjust leadership styles during this time of change. We discuss the importance of clarity, prioritization, and preference for action. Now is the time to reconnect, redefine, and re-communicate who we are and where we're going.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyRead “Thanks for the Feedback”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: @themenkitigroupFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVA MediaThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.
