For episode #148, we had the honor of talking with Ryan Glover who is the cofounder and chairman of Greenwood Bank. Greenwood is a black-owned neobank, that was created to provide new age banking products and services made for Black and Latino customers.  On EYL 148 we talked about Ryan’s path, which includes being a Howard University alumni, having a run in the music industry with Noontime production company, and starting a TV network (Bounce TV), which he sold in 2017 for $302 million.  He walked us through the ins and outs of creating an online banking platform. We also discussed why it’s important to have black-run banks, and we spoke about the future of Greenwood, which includes financial literacy, entrepreneurship programs and more. #greenwood #bank #onlinebank EYL University: https://www.eyluniversity.com Link to Investfest: https://investfest.com/ Host IG: https://instagram.com/bankgreenwood?utm_medium=copy_link Guest IG: https://instagram.com/eastsidegolf?utm_medium=copy_link Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Olajuwon Ajanaku and his partner Earl Cooper are reshaping the face and culture of golf. The two friends met at Morehouse College, and they both were on the golf team that won the Division 2 National Championship in 2010.  After they graduated and started careers in separate paths, the love of the game called them back. Olajuwon started a golf apparel brand called Eastside Golf. The company was the first to combine streetwear with traditional golf attire.  The brand made history a few weeks ago by becoming the first golf brand to collaborate with Michael Jordan and the Jumpman Brand. They released a limited edition Jordan IV golf cleats that sold out in seconds upon release.  On EYL #147, we went over how they built their brand, the details of the Jumpman collab, their interactions and working with Michael Jordan, golf culture, networking, the power of influencers, the ups and downs of having a merch company, and more. #golf #Jordanbrand #eastsidegolf #MichaelJordan  EYL University: https://www.eyluniversity.com Link to Investfest: https://investfest.com/ Host IG: https://instagram.com/earnyourleisure?utm_medium=copy_link Guest IG: https://instagram.com/eastsidegolf?utm_medium=copy_link Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
