Marriage & Money Ep. 15: Jay & Ernestine Morrison - Under Attack, But Victorious!

Legacy Center Founders Jay Morrison and Ernestine Morrison discuss their journey to love and their fight to protect their marriage and career reputations. They share with us how their relationship survived after being investigated by the FBI and SEC. This is a phenomenal testimony you won't want to miss.
On the heels of all their success on HGTV's "Married To Real Estate," fans have requested more access and knowledge to the two as it pertains to their lessons on marriage and relationships as well as wealth-building strategies, catalyzing the Marriage & Money Podcast. The weekly podcast is full of humorous stories, valuable life hacks, honest & meaty marriage dilemmas, wealth & legacy-building knowledge, and special guests. Also available on iHeart Radio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Amazon Music.

Jay & Ernestine raised almost 12 million from Black people in the name of our ancestors (TREF - Tulsa Real Estate Fund) and their investors didn't receive what they were told they would from their investment at all. The one building that he did purchase in Atlanta (The Black House) is now up for sale! How they can just sit there and smile when people invested in TREF (some invested $15,000) and didn't get a return is sickening! Come through Karma!

[@main1033]

It was a success as far as Jay is concerned

Yall really dropped the ball with this one. Shows yall didnt do any vetting with them before you interviewed them, if you had you wouldn't have them on. There are amole receipts out there that show they are shady and finessed the black community.

It's called submission. It is something that alot of independent black women struggle with. Striving so hard to make your mark and follow new societal norms, we forget what God ordained us to be. God is the key ingredient, but it takes work on both parts.

[@alicieaforrest5108]

What I love about Egypt and Mike is the respect for one another while doing the podcast not over bearing! But allowing each other to express their views that's very important because sometimes this can be a bit difficult especially if one is more expressive ,don't try to over talk each other ! I love there energy!! Keep bringing positive and creative ideals to your audience!

Thank you for this episode. I am so happy that you are shouting from the rooftops that black people who are doing good for us and being persecuted by us and by them, have been vindicated and that they continue to want to do good and have not given up. I know the pain, I haven’t done in the magnitude that they have but even the little that I have done has been looked on and side-eyed

Wow this was a powerful episode. I watched Ernestine on Kountry Wayne show with his skits. She is a great actress. Now seeing her with her husband and him over coming adversities as a black man. The way God used them prior to meeting and after them being married. Standing strong together through trying times and believing in their goals while still helping the black community. Much love and respect for this couple. A three time felon became a millionaire and with the help of a beautiful black queen build their empire. May God continue to cover and bless them. Thank you all for sharing your stories and addressing the reality of certain topics in marriages and relationships and how to deal with the in a healthy honest way. All of them had a positive mind set and that's why they are successful. Thank you Egypt and Mike for this episode keep touching people and being in informative on this podcast.

Nothing just happens and All things are purposeful. This episode was Epic and amazing. I've learned to do what God has asked of me by following Jesus's example: Do what I'm called to do in obscurity. Jesus walked in Purpose and said, "Go tell no one." I discovered that no matter what we're called to do... there will always exist both sides of anything. More specifically, The Law of Existence is always in operation (Nothing can exist without its opposite). Jay and Ernestine, you're doing wonderful works and your gifts, talents, abilities, and willingness to serve are pure. I encourage you to learn that Obscurity is a wonderful gift that pays the dividends of Peace of Mind. I don't know what you both are called to do and I certainly don't have the answers to all things. I just wanted to encourage you to keep fulfilling your call and continue following the Way of Christ along the way! Blessings and Favor Are Your Portion!

[@alicieaforrest5108]

When married and in business you hape to use wisdom because you can get caught up because you are on the outside with others and you hape to learn how to separate your business from personal ! I am glad Mike said he spoke up to Egypt because it allowed her to back up and see that she might have been carrying that strong ego of business Woman into the home with her Husband! Praise God for wisdom!!!

I enjoy watching this show. I would like to share God's true word about marriage. Ephesians 5:21-24 [21]Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. [22]Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. [23]For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. [24]Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

[@dynastygoddesshair6943]

Scam couple

[@miya481]

I know this is long & I'm going to catch some heat 4 saying this, but Ernestine comes off as stuck-up, nice-nasty, undercutting & mean🙄😒. Throughout this entire interview, all she did was throw jabs & put her husband down. I don't understand why he married her, especially if he had a supportive & attentive lady before her🤔. But maybe what he was missing in that relationship was toxicity, b/c this woman is clearly toxic. I see now that some ppl aren't happy & easily bored when everything goes smoothly in their relationships. In turn, they crave meanness, arguing & toxicity. I tend to see that a lot w/ Scorpios. Now, I don't know how Jay is at home. He could be a nightmare in his personal life but if he is, he's not demonstrating that here. I notice he's looking in her eyes like he's infatuated & enamored; however, that energy is not reciprocated on her part. She should be encouraging & speaking positively about him & his past especially in public, considering that he has a public & a Godly calling on his life. But all I heard was her criticizing his 1st start-up office; calling him a 3x felon & a high school drop-out; a narcissist who's self-absorbed; & how she was too self- important & paid to do a free black community service event. To make matters worse, she makes it clear that she won't stand beside her husband in the event legal accusations are thrown his way, & she'll rat him out if need be. Plus, she sounds like an awful friend to her girlfriends. I don't see this marriage lasting for long especially if he has any self-esteem. Lastly, this man has a testimony re how his journey started & where it is now. So, I'm not suggesting he should withhold any part of his story; however, when the fact that he's a 3x felon & a high school dropout is made the narrative, this is what causes the distrust & lack of support from our ppl. I feel like that should not have come from her & the way it delivered was wrong. That story should've been his story to tell. Idk but this interview annoyed the hell out of me😤. I'm looking to hear from couples who clearly like each other and Egypt & Mike always represent that & have couples on their podcast who demonstrate that. This couple, not so much or at least, on her part.
