Speaker 1 (00:32):

to maximize your full potential. He's on the show to
talk about unlocking the vault. Please welcome to money making Conversations, ass.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Cash, brother Rashah. Thank you so much, man, Thank you
so much for having me. Always a pleasant, always good
energy when we connected. Well, you know, I love talking
to you.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I love I love reading books, and because I get
a lot of great authors on my show. And one
of the things I guess they do a lot of
interviews where people kind of act like they read or
read your book and the interview you because nothing about
your book at the end of the interview. But the
importance of your book is why you're on the show.
The poorness of the value and the experience you brought
(02:05):
to being able to write the book is why you're
on the show. And I want to read a little
excerpt I pulled from the book very On. This is
from Ashcasher's book. I was born to an immigrant mom
who spoke no English. My father didn't want me, my
brother didn't like me, and my sister beat me up.
My neighborhood was filled with cracking poverty. The church despised me,
the schools thought I was dumb and wanted to put
(02:27):
me in a special head and my basketball coach didn't
think I was good enough. Today, I am the greatest
money mindset coach on the planet and one of the
world's top financial educators. I'm financially free and run multiple
businesses with my wife, best friend, and the mother of
my two sons, all the same person. I'm a bestselling
(02:47):
author who has written over ten books and have positively
affected millions of lives. I have been featured on more
major media outlets and world meetia outlets worldwide and regarded
as one of the true financial motivators. Is because of
my unmatched energy that came from your book. That shows
that you know, people can stereotype, people can pigeonhole you.
(03:10):
People can tell you what they think you should be
or can be, but that does not determine your destiny.
That is why I pulled that out, because that is
the message I put on money making conversation on a
weekly basis. And here you do it in this book,
your memoir that you've written. It's a memoir slashed financial book.
And I think it's important I say it's a memoir,
because a lot of people write books, man, and they
(03:32):
don't have money in the bank. They haven't even motivated
or frog to jump. Okay, And what he's telling you
is that his life is a motivation. And if I'm
missing anything, feeling, feeling the blanks, they're ash.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, no, that's exactly it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
And and it's funny because even years later, as you
were reading that like that, it was it was painful, right,
not painful because of the memories. But how many people
out there have the same story and they allow that story,
uh to dictate their life. I have a bunch of
my friends who are dead or in jail because they
(04:08):
were they too had the similar background, but instead of
you know, taking their destiny in their own hands, they listened,
you know. And and so for me, you know, one
of the reasons why I wanted to write this book
was because there's somebody right now, who's going through something, right,
who you know, who thinks they're not worthy, who believes
(04:29):
that they are you know, aren't gonna amount to anything,
and they're ready to give up. And too many times
we look at successful people and don't know the backstory,
and we just believe that they just kind of kind
of woke up.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
And was successful. Right.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But but but if we tell the stories and someone
who looks at me and says, oh my god, look
at this guy's got get kicked out of school four times,
he was expelled from the tenth grade. He was kicked
out in the first grade for fighting, like and this
this guy like this is the guy who's doing all
this awesome stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Oh, I believe I could do it.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
And so that was one of the reasons why I
decided that it was time to tell a story.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Well, then, importantly, I think that when we talk about
like I grew up in the neighborhood of Houston, Texas,
you know, two bedroom shatgun house. I tell the story
all the time on the show because I want to
remind people that don't look at me now, look at
me back then and back then. It's that journey. And
then we talk about putting together this book. So when
we talk about the memoir portion of the book and
(05:30):
then the financial motivation portion of the book, why combine
the two.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, because I think that a lot of times, I
mean you alluded to this earlier, right, A lot of
times people just write these motivational books like they might
have read a book, and then because they read the book, they're.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Like, oh, this sounds good, let me let me not
give the advice.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
They might have went through one coaching session, and then
because they went through the one coaching session, now they
are certified coach, and then like coaching people. For me,
I wanted people to know that, yes, I'm from the projects,
but I wanted you to understand all of the ups
and downs that I went through for forty years of
my life. Right, So I wrote this book, you know,
right as when I turned forty years old. And so
(06:11):
when you when you look at from from the day
I was born, you know, to forty, here are some
ups and downs that I was going through. But despite
it all, I've still managed to be successful. And so
in a way, my memoir is my receipts to kind
of show you listen, you know, regardless of what you're
going through here. You could go through, You could go
(06:32):
through and still be successful. But now here are these
forty principles that I call the cast advances. Here are
these forty principles that you could actually you know, you know,
take action towards. You can really just you know, you know,
implement them to actually maximize your full potential regardless of
what your circumstances.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I'm talking to a Cash his book From the Block
to the Banker's brand new book, like I says, He's
written over ten books From the Block to the bank
how to make the most of your circumstance to maximize
your full potential. Because we did a lot, Ash Cash,
we had a lot by potential. We're a lot by gifts, purpose, faith,
you know, uh, especially the last ten years, especially with
social media. Social media is driven by motivation, uplift that
(07:16):
drives and so you get a lot of people out
there talking about potential and following your gifts and not
being denied as to who you are. But you are
a financial motivator and I love your energy. What is
separating you right now from the competition?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, I think I.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Think that that the ability to just not be uh
not be afraid to be vulnerable.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
There's so many people who believe.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That if they don't give uh or or if they
give their full self people, people are not going to
connect with them, uh, and so they put up this
you know, this this this vision or this person that's
not really who they are. For me, I still make
I still make mistakes right now, like I'm talking about
like I made a mistake yesterday, right, But at the
(08:00):
end of the day, it is the ability to to
to look at everything, the good, the bad, the ugly,
put them together and just know that everything is perfect,
everything is working for your greater good. And and so
I don't I don't hide against my imperfections.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
In fact, it is it is my imperfections.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Uh, that that make me a greatness on display, right,
because I know that in order to be great, you
have to uh you know, know what great people do.
And and there hasn't been a great person that I've
connected with that I've read about that that that that
that wasn't flawed.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And so I think that that that ability to uh.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
You know, to be relatable to you know, you know,
reach people where they are, is you know, is what
makes me different.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well, you know what I'm gonna share it. I always
like to share personal stories, just like you just shared
a personal story or flaw. I've had an account where
I was asked to do an event and I went
to the event and I and I was just tired,
mentally tired, and I didn't want to walk around.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I didn't want to I.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Didn't want to put one hundred percent effort even though
I was physically there. Well, some notes came back, and
every note that came back about the event was stuff
I could have fixed, the stuff I could have carried
to the next little all created relationship and explained it out,
and so it let me believe that that was my mistake.
My mistake was that I and a lot of the
(09:25):
time we do make mistakes. We make mistakes because we
know it. We just don't maximize our effort. And so
you know that's understanding. Mistakes are kind of controlled errors,
i'd like to call them, because of the fact that
you in a position to stop it, but sometimes you go,
I don't feel like doing it. It becomes a mistake
when you don't do it, but it may not become
if you exercise the effort to do what you've been
(09:46):
required to do get up on time, do the work
that's been assigned you. If you owe somebody of the money,
pay it back to it. Don't take a loan. You
came back, pay back. These are mistakes that you can
actually control. And that's what your book is about transactions,
and there's forty cash advances. So naturally, you know, when
we talk about the vault, we talk about ass cash.
(10:07):
So we keep it everything normal, keep it everything and
flow with your tone and your brand. That's what I
love your brand. So how did the brand of ass
cash come about?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, so the brand of ass cast was really I've
always been an entrepreneur, you know, packing bags eight years
old at the local stuper market, selling mixtapes and t
shirts and one twenty fifth meet and so I'm don't.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Forget that kool aid right, that's out, the kool Aider,
that's out, the red skind. You know what I'm saying.
Who put me on? You know?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
And so uh you know, you know, you know, you know,
always being an entrepreneur, always figuring it out, you know,
from not working you know, at the video store Blockbuster
videos at seventeen, you know, fash out to my sister
who helped me not become a drug dealer, right, and
so you know I had I had one foot in,
one foot out, trying to figure out what I was
gonna do.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
You know, Sister was like, listen, let me, let me
get you a job and then.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Becoming a bank. So I've always you know, had you know,
this entrepreneurship spirit. The funny thing is that I was
a vice president at one of the largest financial.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Institutions in the world.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Decided that I wanted to write a book in two
thousand and nine, and you know, I could have wrote
it as Ash Exantis, but because I was licensed, because
I was you know, you know, authicer of the bank,
you know, I couldn't do it. And so I needed
to you know, I needed to find an aliens And
I said, why not tap into the the to the
guy you know who was eighth the guy who was
(11:33):
you know, twelve years old packing bags.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
And twelve years old selling mix eates and T shirts.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
And that's how you know, I started writing with the
name ash Cash and then.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It continued to grow.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
And now literally if you google ash Cash right now,
Ash Exantis, which is my real name, right, you know, comes.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Up, which is which is beautiful, which means you can't
run from the truth.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Now when we talk about the book that we're talking about,
we talked about your life who targeting ash Cash When
you write a book like this, you know, the millennials
are just dominating social media that they age who from
eighteen to thirty four, they want to be entrepreneurs, they
want to be vendors, They don't want to work that
forty hour week shift. Then we have the the plus
(12:16):
forty who tend to use their agents and excuse as
say why they can't achieve their dreams. So talk to
us about who are you targeting, especially on the male
female breakdown.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, and so so it's really it's all of the above,
you know, because I feel like from that person who
is you know, working, or the person who's the eighteen
or thirty four year old millennial who doesn't want to
work and is becoming an entrepreneur.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
There, you know, the book is just.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
To them because when you think about the ups and downs, right,
I you know, I was a VP, quit my job,
then you know, started to become an entrepreneur, entrepreneurship didn't work,
had to get a job again, then had to quit again.
So there was a lot of ups and downs, and
so anybody who is going through that journey is going
to learn some lessons about, you know, how to really,
(13:07):
you know, make that transition from from nine to five
to a full time entrepreneur. But then also you know
that forty plus person right who is looking for that
reinvention who.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Says, you know, what is my age?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I can't do anything, but really just needs to know
that regardless, as long as you have breath in your body,
there's always an opportunity to move forward. And so you know,
the book is for anybody, right, anybody who has ever
thought or been told that they can't maximize their full
potential and just needs that extra motivation and the instruction
(13:45):
and step by step instruction on how to actually make
it happen.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more
Money Making Conversations Masterclass. Welcome back to the Money Making
Conversations Masterclass hosted by Rashaan McDonald. Money Making Conversations Masterclass
continues online at Moneymakingconversations dot com and follow money Making
(14:13):
Conversations Masterclass on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Well it's a fun book.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
It's a fun and when I say fun, book from
when I'm saying, you're going to talk about his life,
and I'm saying some of the things happening in his
life isn't funny, but it's entertaining, because that's why he's
a colorful writer. You know, you actually can see. I
was telling my staff. They said, well, shure, what do
you think of book? I said, you know, after I
watched fifty cents series on Stars, you know, raising Kanaan.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I think that I think that I think this is
his I think this is his book right here, I said.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Because and that's the beauty of this timing of this book,
because of the fact that I'm talking about the.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Pre power series. This feels so great because it's by
New York.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
It's about that colorful era of drugs and violence and
living in the community. I think he couldn't have brought
this book out at a better time. And when I
read it, I kept envisioning and looking at the character
structure and all that talk about that man, am I
missing the boat?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
When I'm saying this as cash now, you're one hundred
percent right. You know what.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
One of the things that it isn't talked about a
lot is how dangerous the eighties in the nineties were
you know how you know, I remember, you know, being
eight years old, ten years old, having to go to
school by myself, right or with my sister. My mom
was at work, and it was a dangerous time.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You know.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
There were shootouts, there were you know, you know, drug dealing,
there were you know, crack happening. There was our sexual activity.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
There was a lot going on in our neighborhoods. And
so I think that people don't realize how that time
has been pivotal and who we have, not only as adults,
but as society as well. And so you know, it
is definitely an urban story. It's an urban tale. It's
(16:08):
it's something that you know, people, you know, I saw
a dead body right before I turned twelve years old,
Like to actually see somebody dead, right like that, Like
that's something that you know as a parent, right, you know,
My daughter's thirteen, My son.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Is is six years old.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Like some of the things that like, like I was
looking at my son the other day, I said, I
can't even fathom him having a fist fight with anybody.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
At his age. And and but at his age, I.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Was kicked out of school for having fist fight, so
the time was different. It's a blessing, though, to actually
be here and be able to have the conversation and
tell the stories, and also to be able to, you know,
as a parent, understand how blessed I am, but then
also how blessed my family and my children are.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Absolutely I was, like I said, the book is five
transactions forty cash Advances. That's how the chapters are broken down. Now,
it was like I pulled up about five of them.
I wanted to just just just throw some gems out
in conversation with you. The first was in Cash Advance five,
believe in your powers to make anything happen. And then
(17:18):
I'm gonna just rattle them off and then we're gonna
come back. And then Cash Advanced number ten take action
despite of fear. That's very important. Then Cash Advanced number
twelve embrace negative and positive feedback. And you kind to
talk about that in me just a minute ago when
I talked about it. I went to the event. And
then I didn't just shut down and go, hey, man,
screw that. I looked inside myself, looked in the mirror
(17:39):
and say, what did you do? And so Cash Advanced
Number thirty two, Create your legacy now and Cash Advanced
thirty four Change your perspective on struggle. Wow, this is
just several of the forty fantastic chapters that he has
and they all Each one is called a cash advance
with an associated number. Let's go back up to Cash
Advanced number five. Believe in your powers to make anything happen.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Why yeah, so yeah yeah, Eddie Spear says, anything is
possible no matter who you are or where you come from.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Find your path and stay on it, right, And so
you have to believe.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
In your powers to make anything happen because no matter
who you are, you know, everything starts in the mind,
right everything. And so when we start to allow other
people to tell us who we are, why we are,
and what we can and cannot do, we are giving
up our power. And so we have to believe in
our powers to make anything happen. We have to know
(18:39):
that regardless of what our current circumstance is. Regardless of that,
you know, we have the power.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Today.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
The only time that we have is here and now
yesterday is gone. I don't care how much money you have,
I don't care who you know, who's in your Volla days.
You cannot bring yesterday back. Tomorrow is actually running from you.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Like you know, at the end of the.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Day, we all could focus on tomorrow, but when tomorrow comes,
it's actually going to be today again, right, And so
why focus on anything else but today but the here
and now? And so once you believe in your powers
to make anything happen in the here and now, then
then there's no limit to where you can go.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It's all about the limits. I think that we tend
to limit ourselves. And we've learn our sales based on race, gender, age,
and stereotype, you know. And I think that that's why
it was important in reading this book, is that you know,
as a young African American male, you can say you're
not going to be anything if you read the newspaper
or people stare at you when you go down the street,
(19:38):
or the opport or the mentors, because you have mentors
that push you in the right direction. We talk about that,
like you said, you wanted to be a kill Davidson,
you know from wrecking effect. You know, just watching him
impacted you. And I always tell people that young mind
is so important because, like you said, at the age
of forty you can vividly remember situations and time and
(19:58):
dates and situations. That's why you got shaped in But
that didn't impact you. Now if you had to tell
somebody when I'm going through the book, this is a
fantastic book. Like I've stayed there talking to ash Cash
from the block to the bank. How to make the
most of your circumstance, to maximize your full potential.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
That's what this is all about.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Every time I met Ashcash, he's always talked about maximized, maximizing, maximize.
Now a lot of people coincide that with effort.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Well, true enough, you have to get up at.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
A certain time, you have to put out a certain
amount of work in order to accomplish that goal. When
you talk about that and take action despite a fear,
that chapter I had to bring out because of the
fact that fear stops people based on stereotype.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Absolutely, Yeah, you know, a lot, a lot of people
are so afraid of not only some people are failing,
afraid of failing. Some people are afraid of success. Some
people are afraid of what other people are going to
say about them. Some people are afraid of you.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
You know.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
It's so funny because even and I you know, not
to even point fingers. I used to have survivors remorse.
I used to be the guy who limited my success
because my guys were still on the corner and I'm like, yo,
how am I living this grand life and this' and
they're still trying to figure figure certain things out.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
So I used to have survivors remorse. But the truth
of the matter is that fear is something uh that
it's it's a warning, right. I give this example all
the time.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
You know, imagine if you were driving on any interstate
in America and you start to fall asleep at the
wheel and you start to be a left. If the
bumps in the road didn't wake you up, you would
hit the.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Divider and you would cause a trip, you know, you know,
an accident, you would flip over. But once you hit
the side of that road and the bumps happen, it's
actually waking you up.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
And says, hey, you veering off to the left, you
being off to the right, wake up, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Get to you know, get the steering wheel straight again. Right.
That's what fear is.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
A lot of times people have this fear and they
let it stop them. But what happens is this Fear
is just waking you up. Fear is just telling you
that you off track. Fear is just telling you that
you out of alignment. So get you wake up, get
back in alignment, and stay focused on where you're going.
And so you know, I think that's the biggest message
in Cash Advanced number ten is saying that you need
(22:16):
you need to take action despite your fear, because the
truth of the matter, you will still feel your fear.
But as long as you don't allow that fear is
to stop you.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Then fear is okay. It's just a warning.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It's just telling you to wake up. It's telling you
that you're focused on the wrong things. You're not focusing
on what you need to focus on. And once you
wake up, you take back that wheel you drive staith.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Anything is possible. It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I'm gonna skip one because I know I don't want
to take up too much time here, because I want
to talk about creating your own legacy now. That's that
Casher Fans number thirty two, because I also want to
talk about the Ashcash Show as we wrap up. But
let's talk about creating your legacy now, because legacy is
a word, you know, the thing about the word brand
is overused. Sometimes legacies overusing that time, uplift, motivation. It's
(22:58):
so many overused terms. That's why I recommend people by
this book because you're getting it from I'm gonna call.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Him a legend. He's a logic, you know, he's straight
out of New York.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Used to legend down in Atlanta, tearing it up down
in the South on it both sides north and south
in the motivational because of the fact that he takes
common terminology or I should say terminology is not common
and make it common and relatable. And that's what makes
him so gifted and why I enjoy talking to him.
He and I walk in the same room, we have
the same clothes on. He will speak totally different from me,
(23:28):
and I don't mind it because sometimes I can't reach everybody,
so he allows. But he can reach people I can't reach,
and he can reach people I'm reaching and probably reach
him better. That's why I love him because I don't
fear him.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I don't fear me at all.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I don't fear sharing his knowledge, of sharing his style
with anybody all.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I want people to know more about it. That's what
I love. I would tell more people about the ash cash.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
So as when we talk about create your own legacy, now,
what are you talking about brother in chapter.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, you know what one of the biggest travesties that
I see is that a bunch of gifted people, a
bunch of people who you know, have these abilities to
be great, they chase money, you know, they chase money,
and they they they care about what kind of car
they drive, They care about the house they live in,
They care about you know, you know, all the material
(24:16):
things in the world. But the truth of the matter
is that you know, when when when when God calls
you back home, no one's really gonna care what kind
of car you drove.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Nobody's gonna care about your house. Uh. You know Steve Jobs,
you know when.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
He when he died, he was worth seven billion dollars.
A lot of people you know don't even don't really
know that, right, and so nobody cares. Everybody knows Steve
Jobs as somebody who you know created Apple, you know,
and and it has been a pioneer in in in
the tech space. And so you know, creating your legacy
now is making sure that we don't waste we don't
(24:50):
waste our time on earth. We don't waste you know,
our time chasing after money, chasing after things. Building your
legacy is about, you know, writing your life story, right,
like if if if your life were to end, Like,
what are.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
People gonna say to you?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
What kind of you know hearts have you touched? Right,
Shannan Adlers says, you know, carve your name on hearts, right,
not on tombstones? And so are people gonna remember you?
Are people gonna say, you know what your Rashan McDonald
was that guy like I remember this this time when
he you know, helped me get to this level and
he introduced me here and he was, you know, he
(25:25):
helped me get my first home, or you know, all
the different things that people are gonna say, like, that's
what makes you a legends. That's what makes you legendary.
Is when you are still alive and people have these
great stories, people remember the things that you've done for them.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
And so I want I want to remind people, you.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Know, in this in this cash advance, to not focus
on the money, not focus on the things. And the
truth of the matter is that things are great. I
love money, I love things, right, but I don't love
those I don't love money or things above the purpose
because the truth of the matter is that when as
I'm carving my life legacy, the money in there and
if things are coming anyway, yes, and so why focus on,
(26:04):
you know, the tree when you can have the whole
for us?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
And so, you know, I want people to focus on
the legacy.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Now, were every every day Monday through Friday, eight am
to nine am Eastern Standard time. You have a YouTube
channel and it's called the ash cast Show. Tell everybody

really about helping people stay motivated. It's helping people understand.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
You see my shirt. I want people to understand the
abundance is their birth right. You know.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Abundance isn't something that you have to get, you know,
it's it's just something that you have to allow. Like
if you just allow abundance to come in, the opportunities
will come and then you you definitely still have to
take action, but you have to allow the abundance to come.
And so, uh, you know, we fellowship every Monday through Friday,
really just helping people, you know, elevate their mind so

to maximize your full potential. He's on the show to
talk about unlocking the vault. Please welcome to money making Conversations, ass.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Cash, brother Rashah. Thank you so much, man, Thank you
so much for having me. Always a pleasant, always good
energy when we connected. Well, you know, I love talking
to you.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I love I love reading books, and because I get
a lot of great authors on my show. And one
of the things I guess they do a lot of
interviews where people kind of act like they read or
read your book and the interview you because nothing about
your book at the end of the interview. But the
importance of your book is why you're on the show.
The poorness of the value and the experience you brought
(02:05):
to being able to write the book is why you're
on the show. And I want to read a little
excerpt I pulled from the book very On. This is
from Ashcasher's book. I was born to an immigrant mom
who spoke no English. My father didn't want me, my
brother didn't like me, and my sister beat me up.
My neighborhood was filled with cracking poverty. The church despised me,
the schools thought I was dumb and wanted to put
(02:27):
me in a special head and my basketball coach didn't
think I was good enough. Today, I am the greatest
money mindset coach on the planet and one of the
world's top financial educators. I'm financially free and run multiple
businesses with my wife, best friend, and the mother of
my two sons, all the same person. I'm a bestselling
(02:47):
author who has written over ten books and have positively
affected millions of lives. I have been featured on more
major media outlets and world meetia outlets worldwide and regarded
as one of the true financial motivators. Is because of
my unmatched energy that came from your book. That shows
that you know, people can stereotype, people can pigeonhole you.
(03:10):
People can tell you what they think you should be
or can be, but that does not determine your destiny.
That is why I pulled that out, because that is
the message I put on money making conversation on a
weekly basis. And here you do it in this book,
your memoir that you've written. It's a memoir slashed financial book.
And I think it's important I say it's a memoir,
because a lot of people write books, man, and they
(03:32):
don't have money in the bank. They haven't even motivated
or frog to jump. Okay, And what he's telling you
is that his life is a motivation. And if I'm
missing anything, feeling, feeling the blanks, they're ash.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, no, that's exactly it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
And and it's funny because even years later, as you
were reading that like that, it was it was painful, right,
not painful because of the memories. But how many people
out there have the same story and they allow that story,
uh to dictate their life. I have a bunch of
my friends who are dead or in jail because they
(04:08):
were they too had the similar background, but instead of
you know, taking their destiny in their own hands, they listened,
you know. And and so for me, you know, one
of the reasons why I wanted to write this book
was because there's somebody right now, who's going through something, right,
who you know, who thinks they're not worthy, who believes
(04:29):
that they are you know, aren't gonna amount to anything,
and they're ready to give up. And too many times
we look at successful people and don't know the backstory,
and we just believe that they just kind of kind
of woke up.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
And was successful. Right.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But but but if we tell the stories and someone
who looks at me and says, oh my god, look
at this guy's got get kicked out of school four times,
he was expelled from the tenth grade. He was kicked
out in the first grade for fighting, like and this
this guy like this is the guy who's doing all
this awesome stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Oh, I believe I could do it.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
And so that was one of the reasons why I
decided that it was time to tell a story.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Well, then, importantly, I think that when we talk about
like I grew up in the neighborhood of Houston, Texas,
you know, two bedroom shatgun house. I tell the story
all the time on the show because I want to
remind people that don't look at me now, look at
me back then and back then. It's that journey. And
then we talk about putting together this book. So when
we talk about the memoir portion of the book and
(05:30):
then the financial motivation portion of the book, why combine
the two.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, because I think that a lot of times, I
mean you alluded to this earlier, right, A lot of
times people just write these motivational books like they might
have read a book, and then because they read the book, they're.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Like, oh, this sounds good, let me let me not
give the advice.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
They might have went through one coaching session, and then
because they went through the one coaching session, now they
are certified coach, and then like coaching people. For me,
I wanted people to know that, yes, I'm from the projects,
but I wanted you to understand all of the ups
and downs that I went through for forty years of
my life. Right, So I wrote this book, you know,
right as when I turned forty years old. And so
(06:11):
when you when you look at from from the day
I was born, you know, to forty, here are some
ups and downs that I was going through. But despite
it all, I've still managed to be successful. And so
in a way, my memoir is my receipts to kind
of show you listen, you know, regardless of what you're
going through here. You could go through, You could go
(06:32):
through and still be successful. But now here are these
forty principles that I call the cast advances. Here are
these forty principles that you could actually you know, you know,
take action towards. You can really just you know, you know,
implement them to actually maximize your full potential regardless of
what your circumstances.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I'm talking to a Cash his book From the Block
to the Banker's brand new book, like I says, He's
written over ten books From the Block to the bank
how to make the most of your circumstance to maximize
your full potential. Because we did a lot, Ash Cash,
we had a lot by potential. We're a lot by gifts, purpose, faith,
you know, uh, especially the last ten years, especially with
social media. Social media is driven by motivation, uplift that
(07:16):
drives and so you get a lot of people out
there talking about potential and following your gifts and not
being denied as to who you are. But you are
a financial motivator and I love your energy. What is
separating you right now from the competition?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, I think I.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Think that that the ability to just not be uh
not be afraid to be vulnerable.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
There's so many people who believe.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That if they don't give uh or or if they
give their full self people, people are not going to
connect with them, uh, and so they put up this
you know, this this this vision or this person that's
not really who they are. For me, I still make
I still make mistakes right now, like I'm talking about
like I made a mistake yesterday, right, But at the
(08:00):
end of the day, it is the ability to to
to look at everything, the good, the bad, the ugly,
put them together and just know that everything is perfect,
everything is working for your greater good. And and so
I don't I don't hide against my imperfections.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
In fact, it is it is my imperfections.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Uh, that that make me a greatness on display, right,
because I know that in order to be great, you
have to uh you know, know what great people do.
And and there hasn't been a great person that I've
connected with that I've read about that that that that
that wasn't flawed.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And so I think that that that ability to uh.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
You know, to be relatable to you know, you know,
reach people where they are, is you know, is what
makes me different.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well, you know what I'm gonna share it. I always
like to share personal stories, just like you just shared
a personal story or flaw. I've had an account where
I was asked to do an event and I went
to the event and I and I was just tired,
mentally tired, and I didn't want to walk around.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I didn't want to I.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Didn't want to put one hundred percent effort even though
I was physically there. Well, some notes came back, and
every note that came back about the event was stuff
I could have fixed, the stuff I could have carried
to the next little all created relationship and explained it out,
and so it let me believe that that was my mistake.
My mistake was that I and a lot of the
(09:25):
time we do make mistakes. We make mistakes because we
know it. We just don't maximize our effort. And so
you know that's understanding. Mistakes are kind of controlled errors,
i'd like to call them, because of the fact that
you in a position to stop it, but sometimes you go,
I don't feel like doing it. It becomes a mistake
when you don't do it, but it may not become
if you exercise the effort to do what you've been
(09:46):
required to do get up on time, do the work
that's been assigned you. If you owe somebody of the money,
pay it back to it. Don't take a loan. You
came back, pay back. These are mistakes that you can
actually control. And that's what your book is about transactions,
and there's forty cash advances. So naturally, you know, when
we talk about the vault, we talk about ass cash.
(10:07):
So we keep it everything normal, keep it everything and
flow with your tone and your brand. That's what I
love your brand. So how did the brand of ass
cash come about?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, so the brand of ass cast was really I've
always been an entrepreneur, you know, packing bags eight years
old at the local stuper market, selling mixtapes and t
shirts and one twenty fifth meet and so I'm don't.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Forget that kool aid right, that's out, the kool Aider,
that's out, the red skind. You know what I'm saying.
Who put me on? You know?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
And so uh you know, you know, you know, you know,
always being an entrepreneur, always figuring it out, you know,
from not working you know, at the video store Blockbuster
videos at seventeen, you know, fash out to my sister
who helped me not become a drug dealer, right, and
so you know I had I had one foot in,
one foot out, trying to figure out what I was
gonna do.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
You know, Sister was like, listen, let me, let me
get you a job and then.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Becoming a bank. So I've always you know, had you know,
this entrepreneurship spirit. The funny thing is that I was
a vice president at one of the largest financial.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Institutions in the world.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Decided that I wanted to write a book in two
thousand and nine, and you know, I could have wrote
it as Ash Exantis, but because I was licensed, because
I was you know, you know, authicer of the bank,
you know, I couldn't do it. And so I needed
to you know, I needed to find an aliens And
I said, why not tap into the the to the
guy you know who was eighth the guy who was
(11:33):
you know, twelve years old packing bags.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
And twelve years old selling mix eates and T shirts.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
And that's how you know, I started writing with the
name ash Cash and then.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It continued to grow.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
And now literally if you google ash Cash right now,
Ash Exantis, which is my real name, right, you know, comes.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Up, which is which is beautiful, which means you can't
run from the truth.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Now when we talk about the book that we're talking about,
we talked about your life who targeting ash Cash When
you write a book like this, you know, the millennials
are just dominating social media that they age who from
eighteen to thirty four, they want to be entrepreneurs, they
want to be vendors, They don't want to work that
forty hour week shift. Then we have the the plus
(12:16):
forty who tend to use their agents and excuse as
say why they can't achieve their dreams. So talk to
us about who are you targeting, especially on the male
female breakdown.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, and so so it's really it's all of the above,
you know, because I feel like from that person who
is you know, working, or the person who's the eighteen
or thirty four year old millennial who doesn't want to
work and is becoming an entrepreneur.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
There, you know, the book is just.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
To them because when you think about the ups and downs, right,
I you know, I was a VP, quit my job,
then you know, started to become an entrepreneur, entrepreneurship didn't work,
had to get a job again, then had to quit again.
So there was a lot of ups and downs, and
so anybody who is going through that journey is going
to learn some lessons about, you know, how to really,
(13:07):
you know, make that transition from from nine to five
to a full time entrepreneur. But then also you know
that forty plus person right who is looking for that
reinvention who.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Says, you know, what is my age?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I can't do anything, but really just needs to know
that regardless, as long as you have breath in your body,
there's always an opportunity to move forward. And so you know,
the book is for anybody, right, anybody who has ever
thought or been told that they can't maximize their full
potential and just needs that extra motivation and the instruction
(13:45):
and step by step instruction on how to actually make
it happen.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more
Money Making Conversations Masterclass. Welcome back to the Money Making
Conversations Masterclass hosted by Rashaan McDonald. Money Making Conversations Masterclass
continues online at Moneymakingconversations dot com and follow money Making
(14:13):
Conversations Masterclass on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Well it's a fun book.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
It's a fun and when I say fun, book from
when I'm saying, you're going to talk about his life,
and I'm saying some of the things happening in his
life isn't funny, but it's entertaining, because that's why he's
a colorful writer. You know, you actually can see. I
was telling my staff. They said, well, shure, what do
you think of book? I said, you know, after I
watched fifty cents series on Stars, you know, raising Kanaan.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I think that I think that I think this is
his I think this is his book right here, I said.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Because and that's the beauty of this timing of this book,
because of the fact that I'm talking about the.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Pre power series. This feels so great because it's by
New York.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
It's about that colorful era of drugs and violence and
living in the community. I think he couldn't have brought
this book out at a better time. And when I
read it, I kept envisioning and looking at the character
structure and all that talk about that man, am I
missing the boat?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
When I'm saying this as cash now, you're one hundred
percent right. You know what.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
One of the things that it isn't talked about a
lot is how dangerous the eighties in the nineties were
you know how you know, I remember, you know, being
eight years old, ten years old, having to go to
school by myself, right or with my sister. My mom
was at work, and it was a dangerous time.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You know.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
There were shootouts, there were you know, you know, drug dealing,
there were you know, crack happening. There was our sexual activity.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
There was a lot going on in our neighborhoods. And
so I think that people don't realize how that time
has been pivotal and who we have, not only as adults,
but as society as well. And so you know, it
is definitely an urban story. It's an urban tale. It's
(16:08):
it's something that you know, people, you know, I saw
a dead body right before I turned twelve years old,
Like to actually see somebody dead, right like that, Like
that's something that you know as a parent, right, you know,
My daughter's thirteen, My son.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Is is six years old.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Like some of the things that like, like I was
looking at my son the other day, I said, I
can't even fathom him having a fist fight with anybody.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
At his age. And and but at his age, I.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Was kicked out of school for having fist fight, so
the time was different. It's a blessing, though, to actually
be here and be able to have the conversation and
tell the stories, and also to be able to, you know,
as a parent, understand how blessed I am, but then
also how blessed my family and my children are.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Absolutely I was, like I said, the book is five
transactions forty cash Advances. That's how the chapters are broken down. Now,
it was like I pulled up about five of them.
I wanted to just just just throw some gems out
in conversation with you. The first was in Cash Advance five,
believe in your powers to make anything happen. And then
(17:18):
I'm gonna just rattle them off and then we're gonna
come back. And then Cash Advanced number ten take action
despite of fear. That's very important. Then Cash Advanced number
twelve embrace negative and positive feedback. And you kind to
talk about that in me just a minute ago when
I talked about it. I went to the event. And
then I didn't just shut down and go, hey, man,
screw that. I looked inside myself, looked in the mirror
(17:39):
and say, what did you do? And so Cash Advanced
Number thirty two, Create your legacy now and Cash Advanced
thirty four Change your perspective on struggle. Wow, this is
just several of the forty fantastic chapters that he has
and they all Each one is called a cash advance
with an associated number. Let's go back up to Cash
Advanced number five. Believe in your powers to make anything happen.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Why yeah, so yeah yeah, Eddie Spear says, anything is
possible no matter who you are or where you come from.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Find your path and stay on it, right, And so
you have to believe.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
In your powers to make anything happen because no matter
who you are, you know, everything starts in the mind,
right everything. And so when we start to allow other
people to tell us who we are, why we are,
and what we can and cannot do, we are giving
up our power. And so we have to believe in
our powers to make anything happen. We have to know
(18:39):
that regardless of what our current circumstance is. Regardless of that,
you know, we have the power.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Today.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
The only time that we have is here and now
yesterday is gone. I don't care how much money you have,
I don't care who you know, who's in your Volla days.
You cannot bring yesterday back. Tomorrow is actually running from you.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Like you know, at the end of the.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Day, we all could focus on tomorrow, but when tomorrow comes,
it's actually going to be today again, right, And so
why focus on anything else but today but the here
and now? And so once you believe in your powers
to make anything happen in the here and now, then
then there's no limit to where you can go.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It's all about the limits. I think that we tend
to limit ourselves. And we've learn our sales based on race, gender, age,
and stereotype, you know. And I think that that's why
it was important in reading this book, is that you know,
as a young African American male, you can say you're
not going to be anything if you read the newspaper
or people stare at you when you go down the street,
(19:38):
or the opport or the mentors, because you have mentors
that push you in the right direction. We talk about that,
like you said, you wanted to be a kill Davidson,
you know from wrecking effect. You know, just watching him
impacted you. And I always tell people that young mind
is so important because, like you said, at the age
of forty you can vividly remember situations and time and
(19:58):
dates and situations. That's why you got shaped in But
that didn't impact you. Now if you had to tell
somebody when I'm going through the book, this is a
fantastic book. Like I've stayed there talking to ash Cash
from the block to the bank. How to make the
most of your circumstance, to maximize your full potential.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
That's what this is all about.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Every time I met Ashcash, he's always talked about maximized, maximizing, maximize.
Now a lot of people coincide that with effort.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Well, true enough, you have to get up at.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
A certain time, you have to put out a certain
amount of work in order to accomplish that goal. When
you talk about that and take action despite a fear,
that chapter I had to bring out because of the
fact that fear stops people based on stereotype.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Absolutely, Yeah, you know, a lot, a lot of people
are so afraid of not only some people are failing,
afraid of failing. Some people are afraid of success. Some
people are afraid of what other people are going to
say about them. Some people are afraid of you.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
You know.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
It's so funny because even and I you know, not
to even point fingers. I used to have survivors remorse.
I used to be the guy who limited my success
because my guys were still on the corner and I'm like, yo,
how am I living this grand life and this' and
they're still trying to figure figure certain things out.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
So I used to have survivors remorse. But the truth
of the matter is that fear is something uh that
it's it's a warning, right. I give this example all
the time.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
You know, imagine if you were driving on any interstate
in America and you start to fall asleep at the
wheel and you start to be a left. If the
bumps in the road didn't wake you up, you would
hit the.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Divider and you would cause a trip, you know, you know,
an accident, you would flip over. But once you hit
the side of that road and the bumps happen, it's
actually waking you up.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
And says, hey, you veering off to the left, you
being off to the right, wake up, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Get to you know, get the steering wheel straight again. Right.
That's what fear is.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
A lot of times people have this fear and they
let it stop them. But what happens is this Fear
is just waking you up. Fear is just telling you
that you off track. Fear is just telling you that
you out of alignment. So get you wake up, get
back in alignment, and stay focused on where you're going.
And so you know, I think that's the biggest message
in Cash Advanced number ten is saying that you need
(22:16):
you need to take action despite your fear, because the
truth of the matter, you will still feel your fear.
But as long as you don't allow that fear is
to stop you.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Then fear is okay. It's just a warning.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It's just telling you to wake up. It's telling you
that you're focused on the wrong things. You're not focusing
on what you need to focus on. And once you
wake up, you take back that wheel you drive staith.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Anything is possible. It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I'm gonna skip one because I know I don't want
to take up too much time here, because I want
to talk about creating your own legacy now. That's that
Casher Fans number thirty two, because I also want to
talk about the Ashcash Show as we wrap up. But
let's talk about creating your legacy now, because legacy is
a word, you know, the thing about the word brand
is overused. Sometimes legacies overusing that time, uplift, motivation. It's
(22:58):
so many overused terms. That's why I recommend people by
this book because you're getting it from I'm gonna call.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Him a legend. He's a logic, you know, he's straight
out of New York.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Used to legend down in Atlanta, tearing it up down
in the South on it both sides north and south
in the motivational because of the fact that he takes
common terminology or I should say terminology is not common
and make it common and relatable. And that's what makes
him so gifted and why I enjoy talking to him.
He and I walk in the same room, we have
the same clothes on. He will speak totally different from me,
(23:28):
and I don't mind it because sometimes I can't reach everybody,
so he allows. But he can reach people I can't reach,
and he can reach people I'm reaching and probably reach
him better. That's why I love him because I don't
fear him.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I don't fear me at all.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I don't fear sharing his knowledge, of sharing his style
with anybody all.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I want people to know more about it. That's what
I love. I would tell more people about the ash cash.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
So as when we talk about create your own legacy, now,
what are you talking about brother in chapter.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, you know what one of the biggest travesties that
I see is that a bunch of gifted people, a
bunch of people who you know, have these abilities to
be great, they chase money, you know, they chase money,
and they they they care about what kind of car
they drive, They care about the house they live in,
They care about you know, you know, all the material
(24:16):
things in the world. But the truth of the matter
is that you know, when when when when God calls
you back home, no one's really gonna care what kind
of car you drove.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Nobody's gonna care about your house. Uh. You know Steve Jobs,
you know when.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
He when he died, he was worth seven billion dollars.
A lot of people you know don't even don't really
know that, right, and so nobody cares. Everybody knows Steve
Jobs as somebody who you know created Apple, you know,
and and it has been a pioneer in in in
the tech space. And so you know, creating your legacy
now is making sure that we don't waste we don't
(24:50):
waste our time on earth. We don't waste you know,
our time chasing after money, chasing after things. Building your
legacy is about, you know, writing your life story, right,
like if if if your life were to end, Like,
what are.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
People gonna say to you?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
What kind of you know hearts have you touched? Right,
Shannan Adlers says, you know, carve your name on hearts, right,
not on tombstones? And so are people gonna remember you?
Are people gonna say, you know what your Rashan McDonald
was that guy like I remember this this time when
he you know, helped me get to this level and
he introduced me here and he was, you know, he
(25:25):
helped me get my first home, or you know, all
the different things that people are gonna say, like, that's
what makes you a legends. That's what makes you legendary.
Is when you are still alive and people have these
great stories, people remember the things that you've done for them.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
And so I want I want to remind people, you.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Know, in this in this cash advance, to not focus
on the money, not focus on the things. And the
truth of the matter is that things are great. I
love money, I love things, right, but I don't love
those I don't love money or things above the purpose
because the truth of the matter is that when as
I'm carving my life legacy, the money in there and
if things are coming anyway, yes, and so why focus on,
(26:04):
you know, the tree when you can have the whole
for us?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
And so, you know, I want people to focus on
the legacy.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Now, were every every day Monday through Friday, eight am
to nine am Eastern Standard time. You have a YouTube
channel and it's called the ash cast Show. Tell everybody

show on the planet. Every Monday through Friday, eight a m.
To nine a m Eastern Standard time, tele friend and
tell a friend. We you know, every every morning. It's
really about helping people stay motivated. It's helping people understand.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
You see my shirt. I want people to understand the
abundance is their birth right. You know.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Abundance isn't something that you have to get, you know,
it's it's just something that you have to allow. Like
if you just allow abundance to come in, the opportunities
will come and then you you definitely still have to
take action, but you have to allow the abundance to come.
And so, uh, you know, we fellowship every Monday through Friday,
really just helping people, you know, elevate their mind so
