00:01:34.220You're not dumb and you're not stupid.
00:01:36.120It's what you don't know that you don't know is killing you, but you think you know.

00:01:47.500If money is a taboo topic and nobody wants to talk about it, how can we be educated on something we're unwilling to talk about?
00:01:54.740April is Financial Literacy Month, and Black Tech Green Money is where culture meets capital.
00:01:59.520Each week, I sit down with black entrepreneurs and leaders to share their blueprint for building generational wealth through tech, innovation, and ownership.
00:02:08.960One thing we tell our clients is the more that you learn, the more that you earn, but you have to be willing to learn.

00:03:04.480Larger than any other nation outside the United States, China, and Germany.
00:03:09.740It's a point of pride, and it's a point of privilege to represent a state not only with the largest economy in the United States of America,
00:03:17.640but a state that represents the tentpole of the U.S. economy in terms of job creation and innovation and entrepreneurialism.
00:03:24.840We're also the number one manufacturing state in the United States of America and enjoy more two-way trade and direct foreign investment than any other state.
00:03:34.200And so a consequence of these Trump tariffs, the consequence of all the uncertainty that we're now seeing all around the world
00:03:42.680because of these unilateral tariffs that have been imposed by the Trump administration, have an outsized role on the state of California.
00:03:49.880We're already seeing it significantly at the ports of Long Beach and the ports of L.A.
00:03:55.62040%, 4-0% of the goods movement in the United States of America goes through those ports of entry.
00:04:03.020Of course, all of us, though, are feeling the anxiety, the uncertainty that's marked this moment.
00:04:09.160You have your 401k, you're seeing your life savings depleted.
00:04:13.520And we're also seeing depletion of trust, the coin of the realm, trust around the world.
00:04:19.360Decades and decades, 80 years of developing relationships with allies around the globe, we're seeing that trust fray in real time.
00:04:28.180When I started this podcast, I said I wanted to listen directly to you and also want to talk a little bit to you about my own experience.
00:04:48.580I say that not to impress you, but to impress upon you my passion for entrepreneurialism and an emotional attachment I have to taking those risks in those early days and the risks and uncertainty that come today as those businesses mature.
00:05:04.200And I imagine there are many people listening that feel the same way, folks that have put everything on the line, that took that risk, that got that loan, that may even leverage their own home to make a go at it, that may have convinced a family member to come on board, had a great idea and just made it happen and it broke through.
00:05:25.400Or those of you may be struggling with an idea that you thought would be great and you felt you were coming out the other side, but all of a sudden, all this new uncertainty has painted a picture where you've lost a little step, you've lost a little confidence.
00:05:40.840And so I'd love to hear directly from you.
00:05:43.360I'd love to hear how it's impacting you.
00:05:45.460I'd love to be able to paint a picture where we could put a human face on this conversation.
