In this engaging clip, explore the entrepreneurial journey of Derrick Falcon, a visionary who traded the fast-paced restaurant scene in Baltimore for a singular focus on vegan donuts in the heart of Soho, New York. Co-host Rashad Bilal introduces Derrick's story, highlighting the shift from running Homemade in Baltimore to launching Cloudy Donuts, a venture that blends simplicity with ambition.

Derrick shares his unique business philosophy—prioritizing a single product, in this case, donuts, for their scalability and efficiency. This strategic approach allows him to focus on quality and expansion rather than the complexities of a full restaurant menu. The clip delves into Derrick's past, detailing how he transitioned from a criminal lifestyle to establishing legitimate and impactful business operations. His goal? Significant financial growth and redefining success for Black entrepreneurs in affluent areas.

A crucial element in this transformation is Derrick’s partnership with Zoditu. Together, they masterfully introduced Cloudy Donuts to New York, using community ties and free samples to generate buzz and build a loyal customer base. The decision to situate the business in Soho, rather than in traditionally Black neighborhoods, reflects a bold strategy to position themselves in prime retail markets and challenge existing racial economic stereotypes.

Derrick’s journey is about more than making delicious vegan donuts—it's about making a statement. He aims to establish a prominent presence in commercial spaces typically dominated by others, showcasing that Black entrepreneurs can thrive in every market. This inspiring clip offers insights into Derrick's innovative mindset, highlighting his capacity to teach us about business and community impact.

Join us as we uncover how one man's vision is not only transforming the donut industry but also reshaping perceptions and creating opportunities for future generations.

We kick things off with a Trading Tip of the Week, then dive into where gold and silver could peak after their historic run. We also unpack why the Dow dropped over 300 points following renewed tariff threats tied to Greenland and what it means for global markets.

If you work a 9 to 5, the best investing strategy isn’t trading. It’s this: buy quality companies and hold for at least 5 years (ideally 10 to 15). The biggest returns come from long cycles, not quick flips. Use options for cash flow if you want, but keep your long-term shares working. Don’t get finessed out of your position early.

Topics covered: holding vs gambling, profit-taking discipline, shares for wealth vs options for income, and why generational wealth requires generational time.
