    (Re-Air) Overcoming Racism with Matthew Kincaid

    In today's current political climate I thought it best to re-air a classic episode from this year! Matthew is a rare guest on the show being that he's a black man. And not only is he a black man in a world trying to stop him, but he goes totally against the grain in fighting for a change that every black man needs. In a world where I get a new email everyday from some woman(pitching to be on my show) who broke through in her desired field and now wants to help other woman, I don't ever get emails from black men wanting to help other black men. This interview is very important! Listen Good! #FreeKyrie #FreeYe Support the show Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/whyinetwork

    Why I Became an Entrepreneur with Tyler Copenhaver-Heath

    Growing up a welfare kid of an incarnated father, Tyler had very little of his own. While pursuing a biochemistry degree(to prove to his high school that he wasn't the stupid acting kid they said he was) Tyler begrudgingly opened a custom auto shop. This auto shop would go from a one-man operation founded with 4 thousand dollars to a multimillion-dollar multiple-location business. Think pimp my ride, his shop had clients such as the rolling stones, WWE, CNN, and a laundry list of others. As cool as this all sounds a medical issue would force a sale and in reflection, he realized it was an almost 10-year mistake. Yes, success in everyone else eyes but Tyler's. Over the last two years, he’s helped over 50 would-be or struggling entrepreneurs. He now feel like he’s doing his life’s work. https://tyleruriah.com/ Social: @TylerUriah https://www.thewhyinetwork.com/ Social: @WhyiNetwork Support the show Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/whyinetwork
