I've been quiet about the killing of Daunte Wright because there is nothing new to say. All I have to hold on to is hope, as hard as it is, I encourage you to do the same. There are donations being raised for his girlfriend and son. There is bail money needed for protesters on the ground there. So what you feel led to do because as I always say #wecanalldosomething

It's a 5th Wednesday so I  answer some  of your questions.   1. Tiffany from Newark, NJ - What’s been the best thing about doing the podcast year one?  ***Having the A-Ha moment during an interview and have the listeners sharing with me through email, direct message or text the A-Ha moment you had.    2. Leon from Jacksonville, FL - What’s your favorite Wednesday theme of the 4: Relationship, Social Justice, Empowerment, Wellness ***Wellness Wednesdays because it covers the whole self being well from emotional, physical, mental, spiritual. We sometimes focus just on 11-2 parts of our lives for wellness, but we have to look to be well as a whole.    3. Carla from Chicago - What’s in store for year 2 of the podcast? ***I'm finalizing that but what most likely will change is the themes and the frequency will probably go from weekly to biweekly.    4.  Ebony from Nashville - What’s the birthday plan for your 50th? ***I'll be celebrating in my hometown of Chicago. Not sure all the details yet but it will be a weekend of celebrating with a small group.   5.  Erika from Los Angeles - What’s on 3 things your bucket list for the next decade in your 50s? *** A) Traveling the world. I'd like to experience all 195 countries.  B) I'd like to build a legacy in the form of a physical building and a foundation. C) Charter a private jet with my inner circle.

Doug Hayes has always had a mindset of entrepreneurship and wealth building. He started his first business (a community newspaper called “Doug’s Monthly”) at 12 years old. Having always shown an interest with numbers and budgetary management, Doug pursued a Bachelor of Business Administration degree at Howard University, graduating in 1996. By the age of 23, he bought his first house and by 25 he was running his own successful limousine and sedan service in the Detroit, MI area. Doug invested in more real estate beginning in 2006, then in 2008 he saw many good companies substantially undervalued in the stock market because of the financial crisis. It was absolute panic so he took a chance on a few companies, knowing we would eventually come out of the recession and made a profit. He educated himself on investing in the stock market through continuous research and surrounding himself with other traders. He took control of his own 401K and established an IRA account by transferring old 401K’s into it. This gave him flexibility to use various strategies to yield better returns. Doug's own finances have seen highs and lows so he designed a budget system he calls The Roadmap to Financial Freedom. This system helped him to stay focused in paying down debt, saving money, and planning for an early retirement. Seeing an absence of financial literacy in our society coupled with his Christian roots, Doug developed a passion for helping others become successful in financial management. Through the experience he’s gained trading the stock market, he wants to help people develop a road map for building generational wealth. He says "many people have a misconception of the stock market because of their lack of knowledge, but it has proven to be the biggest wealth creator known to man." With Doug’s 20-plus years of experience in financial management, customer service and sales, he wants to educate and help people create a legacy that can be passed down for generations to come.
