Dr. Joaquin E. Wallace is a nationally recognized financial strategist, author, and behavioral finance educator whose mission centers on economic mobility and generational transformation. A former appointee to the California State Quality Education Commission, he is the author of Generational Wealth Begins with Generational Knowledge® and Welfare to Work: A Practitioner’s Perspective on How to Develop and Implement a Successful Welfare to Work Program — a blueprint that has helped thousands transition from public assistance into sustainable, white-collar careers.

Dr. Wallace’s pioneering Welfare to Work model was featured in both Black MBA Magazine and Essence Magazine, which spotlighted his commitment to job readiness, corporate placement, and long-term career retention for marginalized communities. His approach blends workforce development with community empowerment — ensuring participants not only find employment but retain and advance in professional spaces often inaccessible to them.

Honored with the Wells Fargo Living History Makers Award, Dr. Wallace is also recognized in the Contemporary Black Biography series, which documents the lives of African Americans who are reshaping economic, cultural, and social narratives. Through his proprietary Seven-Stage Generational Wealth Model©, he integrates behavioral finance, neuroscience, and culturally attuned coaching to help families build wealth that lasts.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
