Ep 19: Investing While Black | Breaking the Barriers to Wealth

Build Black Show | Business Growth & Entrepreneurship

Show Notes

Making money is one thing. Knowing how to invest it, protect it, and make it work toward your future is something entirely different.

In Episode 19 of The Build Black Show, financial advisor Jose “Dre” Martin of Edward Jones joins us for a practical conversation about investing, financial planning, and building wealth with intention.

We break down why so many people delay investing, how fear and confusion can keep families from building long-term wealth, and why you do not have to be rich—or know everything about the stock market—to begin creating a financial strategy.

This conversation is especially important for entrepreneurs and business owners who spend years building companies but may not have developed a personal plan for retirement, investments, and financial security outside of the business.

Whether you are a new investor, restarting your financial journey, or looking for smarter ways to plan for the future, this episode will help you think differently about your money.

Because earning income pays today’s bills. Investing with a plan can help build tomorrow’s freedom.
