Show Notes

Episode Summary (Show Notes):

In this raw and unfiltered solo episode, Bertrand dives into a conversation sparked by a close friend’s claim: "You idolize money too much." But what unfolds is much deeper — a bold reclamation of power, purpose, and identity. Bertrand explores why he unapologetically puts money first, how society tries to humble confident men, and why most people are simply projecting their fears when they ask you to shrink.

He challenges the idea of humility as a virtue when it’s weaponized to suppress ambition, especially in Black men. This episode is not about arrogance — it's about sovereignty. About choosing who you want to be, not who the world tells you to be.

If you’re tired of playing small, this episode is your wake-up call.

“Silence might make them comfortable. But your greatness wasn’t built for comfort — it was built for change. You’re not here to play small. You’re here to lead. So stop asking for permission, and start claiming your birthright.”
