Ep 19: Investing While Black | Breaking the Barriers to Wealth

You do not need to be wealthy to start investing—but investing can become one of the tools that helps you build wealth. In this episode of The Build Black Show, Jose “Dre” Martin of Edward Jones joins Coach Swan Simpson for a powerful and approachable conversation about investing, financial confidence, and planning for the future.

They discuss why people often avoid investing, how to move beyond the fear of not knowing enough, and why building wealth requires more than simply earning a good income. For entrepreneurs, professionals, families, and first-time investors, this conversation offers a valuable reminder: your money needs a purpose, a strategy, and enough time to grow.

You will hear an honest discussion about creating financial goals, preparing for retirement, developing better money habits, and taking the first steps toward building a stronger financial future. You do not have to master everything overnight.

You simply have to stop allowing confusion, fear, or procrastination to keep you on the sidelines. Press play and start thinking about what your money could accomplish when it is connected to a real plan.
