Also Coming Soon - a series on #HowtoInvest. People have been reaching especially after the spikes in Gamestop, AMC, and other stock to learn the basics.

Mellody Hobson - African-American | Woman | Sports Owner
I have a favorite saying when I do business presentations. I tell anyone I'm mentoring, don't focus on the hype...PAY ATTENTION TO OWNERSHIP. I follow up with an example, you and I love LeBron James and admire his wealth...BUT someone is cutting him a paycheck. He has a boss and you should know who that person is. Aim to be a boss, aim to be an owner. You've seen from my Mansa Musa network of friends; I like to metaphorically rub elbows and build an eclectic network of business mentors by researching and learning from some of the best in business, academics, and philanthropy. I've often written about John Rogers, an African American businessman out of Chicago who built Ariel Investments and an Ariel charter school just blocks away from my home on the South Side of Chicago. I learned very early about a rising star named Mellody Hobson by following John Rogers. Mellody is a co-CEO of Ariel Investments and the chairwoman of the board of directors at Starbucks. Notice, I did not start by saying she is the wife of George Lucas (yes that famous director) because she's carved a lane for herself that is quite impressive. Clearly Mellody is not done yet and was recently announced as a minority owner of the sports franchise, Denver Broncos.

Philadephia 76ers Ownership (for Sale)
It's no secret Michael Rubin, who I listen to whenever he is on CNBC is on in my Mansa Musa Network. I joke that he and Mark Cuban are like big kids living our every young man's dream. Billionaire from their sports business activities and then they became majority or minority owners in sports franchises. Well my boy Michael Rubin is selling his stake in the 76ers as it conflicts with his Fanatics business which recently got into the sports card business after its purchase of Topps. Once I heard this, I rattled off a list of names who should invest in this AMAZING opportunity. I'm on record that Michael Rubin may put in a good word for his friends who could band together to purchase his 10% stake.
In my opinion, here's who I could see that might be a part of this list:
- Kevin Hart - Philly native
- Meek Mill - good friend to Michael Rubin
- Robert Kraft - billionaire owner of the New England Patriots
- Jay Z - partnered with Michael Rubin and Meek Mill on criminal Justice reform
- Lil Baby - new buddy of Rubin and Rubin acknowledged Lil Baby contacts him for investment advice
Then I saw a post from Rick Ross. I've written a few posts about how I love how Rozay is moving across his investments. He's on offense and says he would be interested in that 10% stake. I love it, minority ownership, minority excellence. #bossmoves
