info_outlineWe have a powerful panel of brothers on this week's Table Talk to reflect on what our previous guest, real estate and business mogul, Jay Morrison had to say. Host Adam Coleman links up with recording artist, entrepreneur, and soon-to-be new host of The K.I.N.G. Talks Podcast, Sean Slaughter--as well as financial educator, founder & CEO of ESE (Economic Social Empowerment), Rob Jones! Rob especially brings an awesome perspective to this Table Talk given his background in finance and having worked directly with Jay Morrison on projects such as The Tulsa Real Estate Fund. One of the questions the brothers attempt to grapple with the most is how we can make responsible finance and management 'cool' to urban youth who have been sold a different marketing message about 'gettin' money'.
