In this interview below with the great radio legend Keith Murphy, we discuss the power of high expectations, education and economic empowerment when it comes to dictating your own destiny.
Keith Murphy is the host of “The Urban Journal” on Sirius/XM Satellite. He is a good brother and one of the few people who supported me when nobody knew who in the heck I was. I will always respect him for that.
I told Keith that much of the empowerment process in the African American community comes down to education and economics. If we really push our kids to be their best educationally, that will open a million doors for achievement. It’s not difficult to be a good student: you only have to treat it like a part-time job. If a kid can work 8 hours a day in McDonald’s, that same person can sit and study for 4 hours a day. Any college student who studies 4 hours per day, every day, is going to earn As and Bs in most of his/her classes. It’s really that simple. In fact, most universities give you a “B” in the class just for doing what you’re supposed to do. College is not nearly as difficult as some would like for you to believe.
When it comes to economics, it’s all about a couple of things: learning to save and invest and understanding the foundations of entrepreneurship. My belief, for example, is that every ex-convict who can’t find a job should study entrepreneurship so they can find ways to make money without earning dump wages from someone who doesn’t respect them. If the world rejects you, you have to find a way to still get what you want. It’s possible if you believe.
The interview is below if you’d like to listen. Enjoy!
