Stop Hustling. Start Building Wealth.

According to LaVisse Smith, it's the people, the plan, the discipline, and the willingness to do more. After spending more than 25 years working at the intersection of sports, branding and championship excellence—including work with HBCU athletic programs, Converse, Jostens and championship organizations—LaVisse brings those lessons into entrepreneurship through Urban Knight Group. In this episode, we talk about the championship mindset, necessity entrepreneurship, why so many entrepreneurs struggle to build sustainable businesses, hiring the right people, financial discipline, real estate, and what it really takes to build something that can create generational wealth. And LaVise doesn't sugarcoat entrepreneurship.
