Rich Paul & Junior Bridgeman On $600 Million Business Blueprint, World's Top Sports Agency & LeBron

In this insightful episode, former NBA player turned entrepreneur, Junior Bridgeman, and prominent sports agent, Rich Paul, unravel the essence of cultivating and passing down generational wealth. They emphasize the importance of smart investment, strategic planning, and having a clear vision to secure a financially stable future for the coming generations.
From delving into the world of art with discussions around paintings created by Nelson Mandela, to exploring the facets of the sports industry, this episode is packed with invaluable nuggets of wisdom. Rich Paul opens up about the founding of Klutch Sports and his journey alongside LeBron James, shedding light on the business dynamics of the sports agents industry.
Junior Bridgeman, who masterfully scaled 275 Wendy’s and 125 Chili's locations, employing 2,500 individuals along the way, shares his thoughts on the importance of thinking generationally, building robust infrastructure, and leveraging collective investment as a pathway to achieving substantial financial growth and stability.
Furthermore, the conversation explores the concept of comparison being the thief of joy and why it's imperative to stay focused on one's unique journey towards financial freedom. Rich Paul’s commentary on why athletes need to rethink investment strategies, and Junior Bridgeman’s insights into creating opportunities for collaborative financial growth are not to be missed.
Immerse yourself in this discussion to get a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind amassing and sustaining wealth, making prudent investments, and setting the foundation for generational financial prosperity. This episode is more than just a dialogue; it’s a roadmap to financial enlightenment and empowerment. #GenerationalWealth #JuniorBridgeman #RichPaul #KlutchSports #LeBronJames

Rich Paul: Our problem is we’re always trying to conquer instead of collaborate. And when you dont collaborate you don’t communicate….and when you don’t communicate……you can’t build communities. 💎💎💎💎💎💎

Well explained. Thank you for bringing up this video. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject ..... Thanks to Georgina Lucas the lady you recommended.....

I always wanted to trade for a long time but the volatility price has been confusing.

That is true my dear, Investment is the best idea presently and without it, human struggles are worthless.

No doubt!! I never knew Georgina Lucas had gone viral. I decided to back up my assets and property with her when we met at a conference in New Jersey for the first time.

Junior Bridgeman is real and sincere. Growing up as kid in Milwaukee in the 70 - 80's. Bridgeman had a free basketball camps for 1 week his camp provided transportation and lunch. Each camp day was at least 6hrs a day with college and highschool players as coaches.

[@MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

His actual game is pretty slept on too.. Those were some very nice Bucks teams any given day of the week they were the best team in the league with the understanding that they had limited playoff success.

Notice what Mr. Bridgeman said the key to his success was? Showing the community that he cared. What a difference it would make for the Black community if there were more wealthy Black folks who cared enough to create businesses in the Black communities. There would be no room for those other folks who come to the Black community to exploit the people.

[@gabriellew.4847]

Those "other" folks open daily-life businesses in the black community. Franchises are fine. However, black communities need SUPERMARKETS AND DOLLAR STORES, HARDWARE STORES!!!

[@StormGod-X]

It's sad when something so basic as showing people you care is now a great piece of advice. That's how low we've gotten as a people.

[@JCizzleSoCal]

Unfortunately when black folks open up businesses in black communities the locals find a way to steal, loot, vandalize and eventually the businesses either move or close.

*Planning retirement has never been this confusing! First SVB, then Signature bank and now First republic, these are all the signs of yet another 2008 market crash and recession 2.0, so my question is do I still save in the United States dollar, or could this be a good time to buy stocks? So I’m left wondering what 2023 has in store for usinvestors, I’ve been sitting on over $745K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here*

[@MichaelJordan-dy8xt]

Everyone needs a different stream of income , unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security due to the high rate of tax , one needs to move ahead their expectation, I would recommend refraining from investing in Forex/stocks for now. Instead, it would be prudent to consider retaining a portion of your assets in gold. Alternatively, seeking advice from a financial advisor could provide valuable guidance in this

[@JackCook-wr1wd]

_A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for license advisors and came across someone of due diligence she helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx $850k

[@Lyoson554]

This past few months watching my forex portfolio decline is very disheartening.holding doesn’t really profits much. Any idea on how to earn better on the short run?.please recommend to me your Fin advisor
