1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:20,159 Speaker 1: Donald J. 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 2: Trump's leadership. 8 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: I'm Christy nom the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. 9 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings are at the 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: lowest levels ever recorded, and over one hundred thousand illegal 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: aliens have been arrested. If you are here illegally, your 12 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: next you will be fined nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, 13 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: and deported. 14 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: You will never return. 15 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: But if you register using our CBP home app and 16 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. 17 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: Do what's right. Leave now. 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: Under President Trump, America's laws, border and families will be protected. 19 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 3: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. 20 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 4: Brandon is educated as well, so he is a professor 21 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 4: at the University of Pennsylvania's Business School, which is Warton 22 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 4: and as I said before, that's one of the best 23 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 4: business schools in the country. So aside from being football player, 24 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 4: aside from being a real estate investor, aside from working 25 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,839 Speaker 4: on We even talked about him working on Wall Street. 26 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 4: He also it's too much to talk about, but he's 27 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 4: also a educator. So financial literacy is something that we're 28 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 4: very passionate about. Can you talk about your class, because 29 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 4: your class is interesting it correct me if I'm wrong, 30 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 4: but it's called Inequity and Empowerment in Urban Financial Literacy. 31 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 4: That's the name of it. So that's an interesting title, 32 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 4: and I kind of assume I know what that means. 33 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 4: But can you talk about the class? We started start 34 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 4: off the conversation with the class about that. 35 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, so. 36 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 6: Technically it's not in Warton, it's in the urban school, 37 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 6: Urban Studies School, just to put that out there so 38 00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 6: they don't come down. And but it's when I thought 39 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 6: of the class I thought about. I was actually on 40 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 6: the ride through Detroit looking at real estate opportunities with 41 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 6: a couple of players, and one of the players mentioned 42 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 6: in the vackseat about, hey man, I just wish when 43 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 6: I was in college we had a class on that, 44 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 6: you know, talked about taxes and budgeting and houses and 45 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 6: buy your house and all that type of stuff. I'm like, 46 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 6: I mean, that's not just something that athletes need, that's 47 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 6: something that we all need, right, Like, how do you 48 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 6: just and you had the conversation. I was like, how 49 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 6: do you just pick athletes who you think are going 50 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 6: to the league or not? You know, like everybody should 51 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 6: have that. So from there my wheel started running. And again, 52 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 6: like as I said, I'm impulsive. When I get passionate 53 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 6: about something, that's like how do you make it happen? 54 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 6: So it's been a few years of trying to get 55 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 6: the school to buy in, and I was fortunate to 56 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 6: come across my co professor, doctor Brian Peterson last year 57 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 6: at our Just College five year reunion. I told him 58 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 6: about the idea and then he took it and ran 59 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 6: with it and dealt with the the school pitch. You know, 60 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 6: you know me, I'm just a creative So you know 61 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 6: I come to you with the idea like, yes, ya, 62 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 6: I'm willing to put the work in behind it, But 63 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 6: I didn't know you need to. You know, you need 64 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 6: a syllabus, you need a course outline and all that stuff. 65 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 6: So anyway, for me, the class premise is like let's 66 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 6: talk about all the different things that you deal with 67 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 6: in life that we just let's just talk about them, right. 68 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 6: For some reason, We've gone through these schools and gone 69 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 6: through all these I've gone through sixteen years of school myself, 70 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 6: and no one ever taught me how to buy my 71 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 6: first house, right, No one ever taught me about the 72 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 6: cost of renting or how to invest. 73 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 5: Right. 74 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 6: We have these classes that talk about finance and statistics 75 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 6: and all that stuff. Yeah, but like what's the real 76 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 6: life application, you know? And I remember as an intern 77 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 6: on Wall Street, I was like, you know, we had 78 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 6: these classes, and I think, you know, I had these 79 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 6: econ classes and finance classes, and I'm like, Okay, I 80 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 6: should be pretty well prepared as compared to a student 81 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 6: who hasn't had this stuff. But then when I went 82 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 6: into it, I'm like, yeah, we didn't talk about any of. 83 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 7: The Funny thing about that is like I feel the 84 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 7: same way about education. Like we went to school, right, 85 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 7: and we learned we had to take all these tests 86 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 7: and pass them to be certified. And I went to 87 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 7: grad school forward and I got put in New York 88 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 7: City and all the things that they talk out the window, 89 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 7: you're gonna learn right now, right, Today's Yeah, you know, 90 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 7: And one of the lessons I try to tell up 91 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,559 Speaker 7: and coming teachers is like, listen, you're gonna be tested 92 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 7: every day. You got to really put the mindset there today. 93 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 7: I'm gonna win this battle because I know I'm fighting 94 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 7: for them, you know what I mean. So, like that's crazy, 95 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 7: Like you're doing that in finance too. It's the same thing. Like, wait, 96 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 7: I went to the school for all this and I 97 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 7: know nothing. 98 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 5: I literally have to start over, right, and so. 99 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 6: You know, taking that is like literally the premise of 100 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 6: the class. I nicknamed it life one on one, and so. 101 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 8: We talk about credit. 102 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 6: I always felt like too, like I sat in these 103 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 6: classrooms and you know, as a kid who a kid 104 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 6: from Baltimore learning and all that type of stuff. I've 105 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 6: been fortunate enough my parents valued education, so I've really 106 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 6: valued it myself. And still, even though I feel like 107 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 6: I'm a bright individual, I was sitting in some of 108 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 6: these classes and I would have to like the teachers 109 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 6: would just talk over my head however long the lecture was, 110 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 6: and I was like, you know, people would throw around 111 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,239 Speaker 6: terms good debt versus bad debt and all that stuff, 112 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 6: and you feel afraid to ask a question like you know, 113 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,799 Speaker 6: I don't want to see much stupid. 114 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 7: Feel like everybody else must. 115 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 6: Know, right, you know, like he's talking like they like 116 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 6: maybe I didn't get this in my high school or something, right, 117 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 6: and then you know, so I'd end up youtubing it 118 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 6: or figuring out on my own or just through life 119 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 6: and experience. And I'm like, it shouldn't be like that, right, 120 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 6: Like you're paying all this money. 121 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 5: To go to school. 122 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 8: We should talk about this. You should feel comfortable asking 123 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 8: this question. 124 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 5: So that's the class we started. 125 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 6: We cover everything from like I said, invest in budgeting, taxes, 126 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 6: your gross pay versus your net. 127 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 5: How to buy a house. 128 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 6: Our very last class, we had a it's called we 129 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 6: called it Financing your Dream Company, an entrepreneurship panel. We 130 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 6: end up having a huge My goal, as I told 131 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 6: the students, my goal is to make this financial information, uh, 132 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 6: financial literacy, all that type of stuff. 133 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 8: Has to make this information accessible to all for free. 134 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 6: And so this class was really a pilot and just 135 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 6: a launching point to build and to figure out what 136 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 6: works and all of that type of stuff. But what 137 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 6: we did our second to last class, we had a 138 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 6: bunch of high school students from Philly come in and 139 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 6: then my students taught those students these different We had 140 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,559 Speaker 6: five different topics, but taught them this stuff. 141 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 5: And one the reason for that was me. 142 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 6: One, I don't it's not that I don't care about grades, 143 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 6: but care about grades is. But two, it's more of 144 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 6: like I feel like, if you can teach someone how 145 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 6: to teach or no, so not how to teach. I 146 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 6: wanted to teach them how to teach this information to 147 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 6: other people that they learned. Yeah, so like I want 148 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 6: you to be able to share this information with your cousin, 149 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 6: your family, your mother, your sister, your brother, and spread 150 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 6: this information a similar way that I'm doing it to 151 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 6: my family. Give your family access to change their own lives, 152 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 6: right as opposed to sadly, what we do in society 153 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 6: is we get information and now it's my information. I'm 154 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 6: gonna get a leg up on you where it's like 155 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 6: you're not my competition. 156 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 5: Right. 157 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 8: So we had our students teach it. 158 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 6: To high school students because of the mone I figured 159 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 6: if you can break it down on a high school level, 160 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 6: then you probably have a pretty good understanding of it. 161 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 8: But two, it also just is giving. 162 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 6: Us that ripple effect as a classroom and when I 163 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 6: tell you you've got these one of the biggest things. 164 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 5: That schools are. 165 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 6: People push back on as, oh man, you don't you 166 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 6: know people already know this information you know, and you're like, no, 167 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 6: we don't. 168 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 5: When did I learn it?
