Can you negotiate with broke people? Well, Kanye doesn’t think so. It begs the question, Is Kanye being old Kanye or the new Kanye? I’m confused right now.
The Financial Griot gang is back for another short episode. Recorded before the Kanye financial meltdown that erode most of his branding wealth in 2022.
Well shorter by our standards since we can talk. Today we discuss the evolving new black capitalism and the hope that we remain unafraid in the creation of wealth. We can’t be relegated to victimhood and money trauma as a baseline for Black social mobility.

Can Mindset Keep You Broke?
‘Being broke is a state of mind‘ is a statement that a lot of social media gurus express online. Are they right? Can you outthink your way out of poverty? Is that all you need to be rich? Obviously not.
Mindset is not the only part of success, but it’s a start and the ongoing drive to keep you on the wealth journey. Here are some tips to make the leap:
- Distance yourself from Negative people and negative imagery,
- Seek to become a more authentic version of yourself outside of social media,
- Have patience with others but especially yourself. We all need to grow,
- Accept your weaknesses, fears, and challenges,
- Less past mistakes in the past. It’s not worth crying over spilled milk,
- Learn to be imperfect with the results,
- Know that you will fall short constantly. That’s how you grow and grow up. And,
- Apply and work with a focus and end goal in mind.
