I've studied "wealth" and the "wealthy" for quite some time trying to figure out if there was one "Secret" to "making it" in America. Well, there are no one trick ponies, but there is one thing that is absolutely necessary and really at the core of any definition of wealth: Multiple Income Streams. For all of us with big dreams, we've come to realize that big dreams need big money to finance them. Big money isn't earned while slaving away at one job for 40 years hoping that it all comes together. While getting paid a good salary is certainly a plus, it will take multiple income streams for you to really get ahead. We talk about some of our craziest (and best) schemes for making extra money. We also cover the upcoming launch of Wealth with Friends, and make it clear how important building strong relationships is to accumulating real wealth.

We start in NY with a nod to Big Daddy Kane's "No Half Steppin'" and begin to make the point that we can no longer "half step" to really make it in life. It takes your best effort just to be "middle class" anymore, and the American Dream can no longer be achieved with a high school diploma and a job at the local factory. Along the way we stop by Philadelphia, PA to discover what it's like "Being White in Philly". Rashad talks about the dying industries of Fort Smith, Arkansas and Detroit, Michigan. We note that with middle class jobs heading for Asia, and entire industries disappearing, it's clear that all of us have to figure out creative ways just to remain middle class in America. With the industrial revolution far behind us, and the Great Recession finally revealing a road to recovery, it's time for us to realize we are living in the midst of the Great Reset (shout out to Richard Florida), and it is now our time to join the creative class.Nohttps://www.spreaker.com/user/offthespectrumradio/leaving_the_hood_behind_and_othehttps://api.spreaker.com/episode/2337395Sun, 10 Mar 2013 20:29:45 +0000Off the Spectrum RadioD'Juan talks about how Groupon caused him to venture into a world he no longer recognizes, while pointing fingers at the middle class for not caring enough.
