Papa John's is Losing Its Sauce and a Conversation with Tech Start-Up Founder, Angel Rich Nov 14, 2017

Show notes

Angel Rich has been called "the next Steve Jobs" as well as the best financial literacy product in the country by the Office of Michelle Obama and won over $20,000 in business grant money from JPMorgan Chase and Industrial Bank... So don't be surprised with the confidence Angel has in her company, The Wealth Factory, and her belief in its ability to close the wealth gap in America.

Ben & Malcolm welcome the Hampton University graduate to talk about her journey as a start-up founder and the lack of funding available to women-led start-ups, while the #MYDM co-hosts spread some petty sauce on a thick crust of Papa John's loss in profits.

Has Silicon Valley Gone Too Far? Nov 11, 2017

Show notes

Amazon wants to enter your home when you're not there. Facebook wants to understand every detail of your social online and offline interactions. Uber would love to track your whereabouts at ALL times. In this grumpy old man edition of #MYDM, Ben and Malcolm shake their fists from their front lawns at the creepy, sell-you-something-at-all-times, "Big Brother" like Silicon Valley and asks the question: Has Silicon Valley gone too far?

The co-hosts also discuss the financial implications of a profit driven company knowing every last detail about you and learn of Malcolm's deprived childhood, never having seen the Halloween/Christmas classic, "The Nightmare Before Christmas".

Millennials and the On-Going Affordable Housing Crisis Oct 29, 2017

Show notes

In 2017, the rent is too damn high at the very same time that a down payment on a nice home feels unattainable. What are Millennials supposed to do as the cost to rent apartments continues to rise and buying a home feels so thoroughly out of reach? We discuss on this episode of #MYDM.

Ben and Malcolm also run down the list of jobs with the greatest leverage for asking for a raise, while Ben shares his experience of going to a college homecoming WITHOUT worrying about hollering, getting hollered at or thinking about trying to rekindle old and "almost" flames.
