Today, Rich and Jag welcome Xavier Angel, out of New Century Financial Group's New Orleans office. Rich and Xavier thought Black History Month would be a good time to address the issue of financial literacy in the Black community.
Xavier cites the percentage of households below the poverty line for White., Black, and LatinX households. The differences are stark. How did we get here? As a Black financial advisor, Xavier can cite examples of systematic inequalities that he's witnessed firsthand.
Rich and Xavier get along very well because of similar values - both were raised to give back to the less fortunate. In fact, Rich cites a video about the importance of giving, as part of Home Depot's onboarding process. (and not being recognized for it). You can see that video here: https://vimeo.com/146029996
Xavier discusses financial literacy - conversations that he's having with all clients, regardless of race or ethnic background. This includes the importance of having an emergency fund, the power of home ownership, and the need to make sure your credit report is accurate.
If you'd like to connect with Rich in New Jersey, or Xavier in Louisiana, feel free to reach out.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
