    Cliff Notes: Exploring Amazon's $9 a Month Healthcare Dec 03, 2023
    Show notes

    In this episode, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings discuss Amazon's $9 a month healthcare offering for Amazon Prime members. The hosts delve into the details and implications of this move by Amazon, highlighting the potential impact it could have on the healthcare and tech industries.


    Amazon's foray into the healthcare space is not entirely surprising, as the company has already made moves in this area with acquisitions such as One Medical and PillPack. By offering a $9 a month healthcare plan, Amazon aims to provide unlimited access to on-demand virtual care, including video chats with licensed providers. This move not only aligns with the current trend of virtual health services necessitated by the pandemic but also capitalizes on Amazon's existing infrastructure and delivery capabilities.


    Ian Dunlap raises an interesting point by comparing Amazon's $9 healthcare offering to a hypothetical scenario where a presidential candidate promises $9 healthcare for all Americans. He suggests that such a proposition would likely lead to a landslide victory, indicating the potential significance of Amazon's move. With its large customer base and positive reputation among Amazon Prime members, the company could become a dominant player in the healthcare space.


    Troy Millings points out that Amazon is not simply entering the healthcare market to compete, but rather to dominate. By integrating their tech infrastructure, fast delivery, and virtual care services, Amazon can offer a comprehensive healthcare solution that rivals traditional providers. Millings emphasizes the potential of Amazon's approach, stating that they have a track record of entering industries to dominate them, as seen with their acquisition of Whole Foods.


    The hosts also discuss the potential profit margins of this venture for Amazon. While Dunlap mentions the importance of squeezing as much profit as possible out of the $9 monthly fee, Millings suggests that Amazon may not prioritize profitability in the initial phases. He argues that even if Amazon operates at a loss initially, they have the financial capacity to sustain it while gaining a stronghold in the market and potentially bankrupting competitors.


    To illustrate Amazon's aggressive business tactics, the hosts recount the story of Diapers.com. Amazon attempted to acquire the company, but when their offer was declined, they resorted to undercutting Diapers.com by selling diapers at a loss. Eventually, Amazon purchased Diapers.com for a reduced price and dissolved the business entirely, showcasing the ruthless nature of business competition.


    Overall, the hosts predict that Amazon's $9 healthcare offering has the potential to disrupt the industry and further solidify the company's position as a dominant force in both healthcare and tech. With their vast customer base, existing infrastructure, and financial resource

    s, Amazon has the capacity to reshape the healthcare landscape and potentially diversify into other industries in the future.

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Says Israel Has Done All It Can To Save Lives in Gaza Dec 02, 2023
    Show notes

    In this clip, host Rashad Bilal sits down with esteemed guest Robert F. Kennedy Jr., attorney, author, and activist, to discuss his aspirations of becoming the next presidential candidate for 2024. With the current political season in full swing, it is important to shed light on candidates that may not always make the headlines but have valuable perspectives and ideas.


    The conversation starts with the pressing issue of Israel Palestine, and Rashad asks for Robert's thoughts on the current situation and what he would do if he were the president today. Robert emphasizes the need to end the violence and protect innocent children, highlighting that half of the population in Gaza is under 18. He acknowledges the efforts made by Israel to warn people before bombing areas, but also raises concerns about the lack of bomb shelters for civilians in Gaza and the potential for the conflict to escalate into a regional war.


    Rashad raises an important point about the responsibility of Israel to handle the civilian population in a more sensitive manner. He questions the effectiveness of warning emails when people have no safe place to go, and cites instances where civilian casualties have occurred. Robert counters by stating that the casualty reports from Hamas should be questioned, as they tend to exaggerate the numbers. He also mentions that Hamas rockets sometimes misfire and land in Gaza, causing casualties that may be attributed to Israel. He adds that Israel takes extensive precautions to avoid civilian casualties, even when targeting terrorists.


    The conversation delves into the history and context of the conflict, with Robert highlighting the long-standing hostility between Hamas and Israel. He mentions how Hamas has targeted civilians in Israel with rockets and has carried out gruesome acts of violence. He condemns these actions and acknowledges that some Israeli settlers' behaviors towards Palestinians are criminal and should be condemned as well.


    Robert also sheds light on the financial situation in Gaza, criticizing how the leaders of Hamas live in luxury while their people suffer in poverty. He claims that international aid money meant for the welfare of the people is instead used to fund weapons and violence against Israel. He points out that Hamas's charter calls for the genocide of Jews and states that every Jew must be killed.


    The conversation concludes with Rashad questioning the appropriateness of allowing a neighbor to bombard another country with rockets without taking action. Robert responds by stating that no country would tolerate such aggression and would take measures to protect its civilians.


    This thought-provoking discussion provides insights into the complexities of the Israel Palestine conflict and the perspectives of different stakeholders. It emphasizes the importance of considering multiple voices and viewpoints when discussing global issues.

    Study Hall: How Athletes Owning Media Companies is Shaping Their Stories Dec 01, 2023
    Show notes

    In this episode of EYL Medium, hosts Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings sit down with special guest Rich Kleiman, co-founder of the media company The Boardroom. They delve into the origins of The Boardroom, its purpose, and the changing dynamic of athletes in media.


    The Boardroom, co-founded by Rich Kleiman and NBA superstar Kevin Durant, is a media company that focuses on the business of sports and entertainment. As Rich explains, it was born out of the need to tell stories and position their business ventures in a social media-driven world. In 2016, they started their own business, 35 Ventures, which involved managing Kevin's business interests, investments, and philanthropic endeavors. However, they soon realized the importance of having a platform to share their work and amplify their voices.


    Rich Kleiman understood that simply starting a media business wouldn't be sufficient. They needed to differentiate themselves and find their unique selling point. By embracing their own authenticity and leveraging their experiences in the sports industry, they aimed to create a brand that represented the intersection of sports, entertainment, and business. The Boardroom became the embodiment of this vision, a place where different voices, genders, and perspectives are welcome, and decisions can be made to shape the industry.


    The hosts discuss the emergence of athletes taking control of their own narratives through media. Contrary to the days when athletes were at the mercy of reporters and media outlets, they now have the power to control their own stories. As Rich puts it, athletes can build entire ecosystems around themselves, collaborating with other creators, athletes, and partners to shape their narratives. This shift empowers athletes to not only be the subject of media stories but to actively participate in producing content and dispelling misconceptions.


    Beyond storytelling, Rich also speaks about the entrepreneurial mindset that many athletes possess. From an early age, many athletes are exposed to conversations about business and life, ultimately shaping their mindset as young moguls. This trend of athlete moguls allows them to not only control the narrative but also succeed in various business ventures beyond their athletic careers.


    The conversation takes an interesting turn as Rich discusses his relationship with Kevin Durant, which evolved from agent-client to business partners. Over the course of three years, a foundation of trust was built between them, aided by their shared aspirations to create thriving business ecosystems akin to hip hop labels of the 90s. They recognized the potential of athletes being at the center of these economies and controlling various businesses surrounding their brand.


    Overall, this episode of EYL Medium offers insights into the motivations behind The Boardroom and the changing landscape of athletes in media. It emphasizes the power of control, authenticity, and finding unique perspectives in an industry that can shape narratives and influence the world. Athletes are becoming more than just players; they are becoming influential entrepreneurs with the ability to build their own lasting legacies.

    Money Behind Politics: The Lobby That Spends the Most Money Nov 30, 2023
    Show notes

    In this episode of MM Medium, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings discuss politics, lobbying, and the influence of money in American politics. They start by mentioning Joe Biden's birthday and his uphill battle as an incoming president, particularly with millennial voters due to concerns about his foreign policy. They emphasize that politics in the United States is not purely a democracy, but rather influenced by the highest bidder. Lobbying, which involves campaign contributions and direct persuasion of politicians, plays a significant role in shaping policies and decisions.


    The hosts then engage in a game show-style discussion about the top lobbying groups in politics. They go through the top ten, revealing various interest groups and industries. Surprisingly, the number one lobbying group in 2022 was the National Association of Realtors, which spent a staggering $84 million on lobbying efforts. This high expenditure indicates the influence and vested interests of the real estate industry in shaping policies related to housing.


    The conversation shifts to the funding of different political agendas and parties. It is revealed that Wall Street, contrary to popular belief, tends to favor Democrats and Republicans almost equally. They split their bets and invest in both parties to ensure influence and representation. The hosts point out that business interests heavily intertwine with politics, as government regulation, taxes, and policies significantly impact the business environment. They emphasize the importance of understanding these connections, particularly for marginalized communities like the Black community.


    The hosts encourage listeners to recognize that every interest group, including racial or ethnic ones, prioritizes their own agendas and seeks to exert influence in politics. They highlight the power of money in politics and the need for economic empowerment alongside voting power. Without economic leverage, politicians often do not feel compelled to address the specific needs and interests of different communities. They stress the importance of building economic power, as it can be used as leverage to advocate for policy changes that benefit marginalized communities.


    Ultimately, the hosts urge viewers to be more informed and actively participate in politics beyond just voting. They argue that it is necessary to understand and engage with the financial side of politics to see meaningful changes. By prioritizing economic empowerment and strategic use of resources, marginalized communities can better advocate for their interests and exert meaningful pressure on politicians to address their specific needs.


    In the YouTube description, it would be beneficial to include relevant hashtags such as #politics, #lobbying, #economicempowerment, #influenceofmoney, and #votingpower. This will help increase the visibility of the video to audiences interested in these topics and create a better connection between the content and potential viewers.

    #EducationReform


    Rashad Bilal expresses his support for education reform and proposes a solution to the current issue of unequal funding for public schools.

This would aim to provide a fair and equal education system for all students.


    #QualificationForReparations
