The Money Chapter: Securing the Bag Without Losing Your Peace

Are you working yourself to death? At just 48 years old, Justin Grant’s uncle, Juan Simpson, passed away suddenly from a heart attack. He was fit, he seemed healthy, and yet his life was cut short, leaving behind more questions than answers. The loss shook Justin, setting him on a 23-year journey to understand why Black men like his uncle were dying too soon. As he climbed the corporate ladder himself, from a young journalist to an executive at the world’s largest bank, he began to see the connection: the relentless pressure, the unspoken stress, the silent toll of Working While Black. Learn more about Notion, the all in one digital workspace: www.affiliate.notion.so/wd96duoqxmlk [https://affiliate.notion.so/wd96duoqxmlk] In this episode, I sit down with Justin Grant, executive leader and author of "Company Man: A Wellness Guide for Black Men in Corporate America." Together, we tackle the unspoken challenges and triumphs of navigating corporate spaces, as a Black professional, all while protecting your mental and physical health. Justin shares his inspiring journey, from his early days at Reuters to becoming a VP at Goldman Sachs and holding seats at the table in some of the world's largest companies. If you’re ready to make a change in your career, then listen closely as Justin shares how experiencing grief became a mission to equip Black professionals with the knowledge and strategies to succeed in corporate America without sacrificing their health. Join us as we explore how to turn your hard-earned wages into generational wealth, the importance of community, and why now is the best time to be young, talented, and Black.

From Chocolate CEO to Fitness Leader: A Career Transformation 🔥

After running a successful chocolate company, Harold Logan realized he wasn’t living the life he dreamed. The freedom entrepreneurs aspire to was costing him his health and precious time with his family. When Harold found himself struggling to keep up with his crawling son, he knew it was time for a change. In this episode, we learn how Harold made a bold pivot from selling chocolate to helping others transform their lives by redefining fitness and prioritizing sustainable goals. His mission ultimately led him to a role as a corporate GM at Planet Fitness—despite having no prior corporate experience. Logan also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at Planet Fitness and how its diverse structure fosters inclusivity and success. Whether you’re feeling stuck in your career or struggling to balance wellness while working full time, Logan shares practical insights and actionable lessons to help you overcome challenges with grace and determination.
