The Wealth Break

Feed What Feeds You with Alex Hill

Heartbreak. A move across the country. A food blog that blew up. Alex Hill turned every plot twist into a plateful of possibility. Rodney and Travis dig in on how she built her Just Add Hot Sauce brand from her kitchen table, found financial freedom without a formula, and learned that the real flex isn’t the partnership—it’s the peace of mind.

Organic Evolution with Melvin Rodriguez of Mielle Organics

When your brand explodes, the culture has questions: equity, ownership, and that tired “sellout” label. Melvin joins Rodney and Travis to unpack the difference between selling out and leveling up, the art of partnering without losing your soul, and how strategic capital can accelerate impact—and generational wealth.

Playing Chess with Gerry Lopez

Gerry Lopez came to the U.S. as an infant, earned his way through GW and Harvard, and rewired industries at Starbucks and AMC—always measuring success by more than money. In this conversation, he shares the mindset behind career “chess moves,” the art of nurturing relationships, lessons from taking AMC public, and a grounded definition of wealth that starts with family, faith, and showing up.

Meet the Wealth Break Hosts: Rodney Williams

Forget the polished bios. In this solo episode, Rodney Williams strips it all back. Raised in a Jamaican-American household where his mom worked three jobs—nurse, hairdresser, daycare provider—and his dad fixed everything from cabinets to cars, Rodney learned early what hustle looked like. But building something lasting meant unlearning a lot too. From corporate life at Procter & Gamble to co-founding a fintech startup, Rodney shares the tough calls, the personal costs, and the moments of doubt most success stories skip. This is what it really looks like to bet on yourself—and keep going. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Belief Over Fear with Shontay Lundy

Before she founded Black Girl Sunscreen and got her brand on the shelves of 20,000 stores, Shontay Lundy quit her corporate job without a plan—just savings, vision, and belief. Rodney sits down with Shontay to talk about walking away from the golden handcuffs, building a category-defining brand from scratch, and what it really means to lead with confidence and care in an unforgiving industry.
