Very thorough critique. I appreciate that. Your opinion seems to be shared with a few other people online.
He was super on point. And def watch that JT Channel, he's highly entertaining (gift of gab for sure) but he's super by the book and an actual certfied financial planner, so he exposes a lot of our communities grifters and scammers, and whenever they try to come at his neck, he's on point with the reciepts and actual terminology, etc that scammers/grifters can't sweet talk their way through.
Man, honestly I HATE EYL myself.
I feel like they are the worst type of grifters. The Grant Cardone type.
The kind that aren't "scammers" in the traditional sense of the word, def not, and always say some actual legit things packaged in a bunch of bullshyt, and surround themselves around the super cool versions of themselves (yet more scammy/grifty) but just legit enough to all get big following that will call you a hater if you don't support, because technically - they aren't scammers, and they did "teach" someone what a stock is per se, and they are motivational and inspirational, so ppl rock with them.
They use our culture against us, and those type are hard to spot, because they always seem legit from the start, instead of obvious like that Brooklyn preacher lol.
The billionaires are cool with them because they either don't care, or more often than not don't have the time to watch their vids and learn about their bad info, so they just see some cool black dudes that what to "teach our community about business etc" so they show up on the pods and events, which further leads to their credibility.
But like I said, they are the worst type. Because to be that studied in finance, you know damn sure Steve Harvey or Tyler Perry ain't saying nothing they dont say on damn Clubhouse or a PopSugar interview, but it's wrapped in "financial knowledge" so they are building us up (it really aint helping shyt)
They are giving out all type of generic info and letting their partners sell mad courses, but nobody I know has elevated themselves from paying for a damn course or mastermind or CEO circle, and they are taking money from the community that has the least in America, selling dreams, and in my heart I know they know most of this info is wrong as fukk but they just keep pushing because they are getting a bag like never before.
The people who can actually call them out or destroy their cred usually aren't big on Youtube or socials, so they get away with it, because most of the ppl on youtube and socials are chasing clout.
I know a rack of black millionaires and big business owners, even former athletes who own major investments etc, and i tell my daughter all the time - "hey girl, do you notice most of my friends who have these big houses and stuff ain't even on social media (and I ain't talking mad old dudes, Im talking even late 30s etc), so dont get caught up watching these "influencers" because you see real money"
EYL has nikkas on there talking about astroprojecting into heaven to get vibes from angels and then watching themselves sleep and learning the secret of life. Like what the holy fukk....
