  • James Harden’s First Podcast: Billion-Dollar Moves, Transforming Basketball, & Answering Critics

    James Harden’s First Podcast: Billion-Dollar Moves, Transforming Basketball, & Answering Critics
    Nov 21 2024

    In his first-ever podcast interview, James Harden joins Earn Your Leisure to share an in-depth look at his journey from basketball superstar to a successful entrepreneur. He discusses how his relationship with Jay Z led to the opportunity to join 'The Beard Club' and reveals the story of how he first met Michael Rubin. Harden reacts to Mark Cuban's claim that athletes will eventually earn more than team owners and reflects on the special love he receives from fans in China.


    Harden opens up about the challenges of saying "no" to friends and family and shares insights into his long-standing relationship with Adidas, where he has now taken on the role of elder statesman. He talks about handling business challenges, the creation of J-Harden Wine, and his ambitious plan to turn it into a 9-figure business. Harden also shares his thoughts on analysts’ criticism, the current state of basketball, and why the iconic beard wasn’t intended as a marketing tool.


    In this candid conversation, Harden dives into the evolution of his team, his thoughts on NBA players designing their own shoes, and his admiration for Michael Rubin. He also reflects on his $500K investment in Body Armor, inspired by Kobe Bryant's advice, which led to the company’s $5.6 billion sale seven years later.


    This exclusive interview provides a rare glimpse into the mind of one of basketball’s greatest players as he balances success on the court with thriving business ventures.

  • ChakaBars on The Global Importance of Ghana as a Homeland for Black Unity and Empowerment

    ChakaBars on The Global Importance of Ghana as a Homeland for Black Unity and Empowerment
    Nov 20 2024
    Welcome to the this clip of EYL, where we dive deep into Ghana's rich historical legacy and untapped potential for investments and business opportunities. Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings host this enlightening conversation with special guest Chaka Bars, who provides a comprehensive overview of Ghana's crucial role in African and Western history, as well as its promising future.*Why Ghana Matters:*Chaka Bars opens the discussion by highlighting the deep historical ties between Ghana and African descendants in the Western hemisphere. From the era of slave dungeons to the influential leadership of Kwame Nkrumah, who was a pivotal figure in decolonizing Ghana, the country holds an irreplaceable spot in global history.*A Rich Trading Legacy:*The discussion delves into the ancient trading networks that predated European colonization. Chaka Bars discusses fascinating historical tidbits, such as Mansa Musa and Abu Kari II's transatlantic voyages and the discovery of American substances in the remains of ancient African leaders. The conversation underscores the thriving, long-standing exchanges that occurred between Africa and the Americas long before Columbus.*Colonial Exploitation and Resistance:*Chaka Bars describes the brutal colonial exploitation of Africa's resources and people, focusing on how Ghana's gold mines and human capital were plundered. He reflects on how the Europeans exploited existing practices of indentured servitude, turning them into the transatlantic slave trade that devastated countless African families.*The Year of Return:*He explains the significance of Ghana's "Year of Return" in 2019, marking 400 years since the first enslaved Africans arrived in Jamestown. The initiative invited the global African diaspora to reconnect with their ancestral homeland, thus closing a circle that was violently broken centuries ago.*Ghana Inspiring Pan-Africanism:*The bond between Ghana and the global African diaspora is further explored through the stories of Empress Zewditu of Ethiopia and Marcus Garvey. Empress Zewditu's call for the African diaspora to return home inspired Garvey to create the United Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and the Black Star Line. These efforts set the stage for future Pan-African movements, including the decolonization wave led by Kwame Nkrumah, who incorporated the black star into Ghana's national flag as a powerful symbol of unity and resistance.*Investment and Repatriation:*Chaka Bars also discusses contemporary efforts to bolster the connection between Ghana and its diaspora through trade agreements and bilateral relations, such as the one between Barbados and Ghana. He emphasizes the importance of providing legal and economic opportunities to those seeking to return to Ghana, including citizenship, housing, and jobs.*A Vision for the Future:*With inspiring references to great leaders like Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X, Chaka Bars calls for a united effort to create a thriving, self-sufficient African homeland. He shares personal anecdotes about his involvement in current initiatives, making a compelling case for why now is the perfect time for African descendants to invest in and possibly repatriate to Ghana.Join us in this deep dive into Ghana's past and future, and see why it holds the key to a prosperous and united African diaspora.*Hashtags:*#EYLMedium #Ghana #AfricanHistory #InvestInGhana #YearOfReturn #PanAfricanism #MarcusGarvey #KwameNkrumah #ChakaBars #BlackDiaspora #EconomicOpportunity #EYL #RashadBilal #TroyMillings #Homecoming #BilateralTrade #DecolonizationAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Understanding Bitcoin's Future & Stablecoin Dynamics
    Nov 17 2024

They delve deep into the current and future states of Bitcoin, addressing critical questions that every investor should consider.*Bitcoin's Cycles and Future Predictions:*Rashad opens the conversation asking Mike about Bitcoin's notorious volatility and whether we can expect a future without drastic pullbacks. Mike remarks confidently, predicting that Bitcoin won't dip below $72,000 in the next 18 months, setting sights on a target range between $97,000 and potentially $180,000. He notes that if Bitcoin falls below the projected low, it would indicate something seriously wrong in the market.*The Trust Issue of Cryptocurrency:*Troy brings up a significant barrier for many potential investors - trust. Mike elaborates on the dominance of stablecoins, particularly Tether (USDT), and dives into the business operations behind it. He also highlights the role of USDC, painting a picture of how stablecoin legislation might unfold in favor of national security interests.*Stablecoins and National Security:*Mike explains the substantial role stablecoins play in the global economy, predicting that they will become one of the largest holders of U.S. treasuries in the near future. He speculates about the likely legislative push to regulate these coins within the U.S., citing national security as a prime consideration.*Inflation and the Bond Market:*Ian prompts discussions around broader economic concerns, including the recovery of the bond market and the U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio. Mike provides insights into the complexities of managing national debt through controlled inflation, expressing his hopes and realistic expectations about the future economic landscape. He foresees inflation as a more persistent challenge, given the economic signals from the commodity markets and Bitcoin's performance.*Impact of AI on the Economy:*A fascinating tangent introduces the transformative potential of artificial intelligence. Mike speculates on how advancements in AI could revolutionize market dynamics, making processes cheaper and more efficient while acknowledging the associated uncertainties and potential risks.*Key Takeaways:*Mike Novogratz foresees Bitcoin stabilizing above $72,000, with potential growth to $97,000 and even $180,000.Trust remains a significant issue in cryptocurrency investment, with stablecoins like USDT and USDC playing dominant roles.Upcoming stablecoin legislation is likely to favor U.S.-based regulation due to national security concerns.Managing U.S. debt through controlled inflation is tricky but necessary.AI could dramatically alter economic structures, potentially mitigating inflation through increased efficiencies.Join us for this in-depth discussion that unravels complex financial mechanisms and offers expert predictions on the future of Bitcoin, stablecoins, and the broader economic environment.*Stay Connected:*🚀 Subscribe to our channel for more insightful discussions and expert analyses.👍 Like this video if you found the content valuable.🔔 Hit the bell icon to get notified whenever we release a new episode.*#MarketMondays #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #Stablecoins #Investment #USDT #USDC #Treasuries #Inflation #AI #EconomicTrends*Tune in and stay ahead in the financial game with Market Mondays!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
