In this episode of the Attractive Mindset Network Podcast, we sit down with Malik Greer, better known as Chase Benz, to talk about his journey from growing up in Rochester, NY, to pursuing rap, hustling in the streets, and eventually discovering the life-changing power of credit and business funding.

Malik shares how he went from viral music videos and selling CDs hand-to-hand to losing money in the rental car game — and how those lessons ultimately led him to the credit repair and funding industry, where he now helps people secure $20K–$100K in business credit.

We dive deep into:

How the streets shaped his mindset and hustle

Why most people overlook credit as the real wealth builder

Building systems for long-term success

The power of mentorship and consistency

His music journey and unreleased freestyles that prove he still got it

If you’ve ever wondered how to escape old cycles and use credit to build real wealth, this episode is packed with raw insight, practical gems, and inspiration.
