Ep 41: What Financial Independence Really Means in a Marriage
Thursday Feb 19, 2026
Thursday Feb 19, 2026
What does financial independence really mean inside a marriage? In this episode of The Wilson Wealth Show, host Ablavi Gbenyon-Little and CEO Maurice Wilson break down the difference between shared responsibility and true shared empowerment when it comes to money.
Using a real client story, they explore how one capable spouse can unintentionally become the default financial manager—and how that dynamic can create fragility and fear if the other partner is left uninformed. They also address the opposite issue: when one spouse knows little about the finances and becomes overly dependent.
Maurice shares practical, actionable steps couples can implement right away, including holding monthly money conversations as a conflict-free review of goals and accounts, making financial knowledge non-negotiable so both partners know where everything is and how bills are handled, and separating responsibility from power so one person can manage day-to-day decisions while both retain full agency.
The episode centers on one powerful question: Would your partner be okay if something happened to you? Ultimately, they explain how strong financial plans strengthen marriages by replacing assumptions with clarity, reducing stress, and building true partnership around money.

Ep 40: How Taxes Decide Your Wealth: Build Tax‑Free, Tax‑Efficient Strategies
Tuesday Jan 27, 2026
Tuesday Jan 27, 2026
In this episode Maurice Wilson and Ablobi explain why taxes—not market returns—often determine how much wealth you actually keep. They break down practical, legal tools to build tax-free and tax-efficient wealth, including Roth accounts for tax-free growth and withdrawals, HSAs as triple tax-free savings, 529 plans for tax-free education (and recent conversions to Roth), and cash-value life insurance for tax-free access and death benefits.
The episode also covers tax-managed investing strategies like direct indexing and tax-loss harvesting to avoid unnecessary capital gains, plus ways to access concentrated stock positions without triggering big tax bills. Life insurance is highlighted as generally tax-free unless your estate exceeds current estate tax thresholds (around $10M+).
Most people overpay taxes for two main reasons: a lack of coordinated planning between CPAs, advisors, and attorneys, and failure to revisit plans as life and laws change. The practical takeaway: have a tax-focused conversation with your advisor before April and build a coordinated, ongoing plan to keep more of what you earn.

Ep 39: UTMAs The Good, the Bad, and the Hidden Consequences
Tuesday Jan 20, 2026
Tuesday Jan 20, 2026
If you ever said "we'll open this account for the kids," this episode is for you. Hosts Ablavi Gbenyon-Little and Maurice Wilson explain what a UTMA (Uniform Transfers to Minors Act) account really is: an account where assets legally belong to the child immediately and an adult only serves as custodian until the age of majority.
The episode covers why families use UTMAs—simplicity, no contribution limits, flexibility in spending, and grandparent gifting—and the trade-offs many miss, including permanent loss of parental control once the child reaches 18 or 21 and the inability to reverse or redirect the assets into trusts later.
Key consequences are discussed in plain terms: UTMA assets count as the student's assets for financial aid calculations, investment income can trigger the "kiddie tax" (taxed at the parent’s rate above thresholds), and assets held in the child’s name may be exposed to creditors, lawsuits, or divorce. The show also highlights behavioral risks of giving large sums to young adults who may not be prepared to manage them.
The hosts recommend matching the account choice to your intent: UTMAs can make sense for modest gifts and when flexibility is prioritized, but are often a poor fit for long-term legacy, asset protection, financial-aid-sensitive planning, or when parents want control past the age of majority. The episode closes with the core takeaway: use UTMAs with your eyes wide open and choose the right tool for your long-term goals.

Nvidia - Bull Trend or Bubble?
Saturday Mar 02, 2024
Saturday Mar 02, 2024
Welcome to the latest episode of the Wilson Wells show. This episode poses an essential question about the recent successes of Nvidia in the artificial intelligence landscape: Is this a bullish trend, a market bubble, or a bit of both?
Grounded in engineering with a keen interest in history, we attempt to apply the lessons of historical industry leaders like Nike, Microsoft, and Apple, and evaluate Nvidia's current position in the AI industry. We delve into patterns of trendsetting, industry leadership, and how these companies still managed to rise despite market crashes and bubbles. By comparing Nvidia's rise with that of the average semiconductor companies, we seek to determine the nature of its current trajectory.
The discussion extends to weaving together the threads of history, market trends, and the leaps of technological progress, with a keen focus on Nvidia. We also explore the current bullish trend in Nvidia's stock while being aware of its susceptibility to a potential market bubble.
Four strategies for navigating the Nvidia bull and bubble are examined in this episode: Waiting for the trend to end, betting against Nvidia's stock, asset allocation, and leveraging the bullish wave. Despite any impending bubble burst, the episode concludes that there are multiple ways to effectively invest in Nvidia stock, thereby minimizing potential losses and maximizing gains.
To navigate this volatile market optimally, personalized strategies from seasoned investors or financial advisors should always be involved in your decision-making process. Join us in this episode as we unravel Nvidia's place in the AI industry and its market implications.

Tuesday Feb 13, 2024
Tuesday Feb 13, 2024
In this riveting episode of the Wilson Wealth Show, our host Ablavi, along with Maurice and special guest Gregory Devon, embarks on an illuminating discussion about traditional gender roles and their impact on financial stability and wealth generation. This deep-dive conversation delves into the complex debate surrounding the perception of a "high-value man," challenging the stereotypes associated with financial provisions, masculinity, and societal expectations.
Through this engaging dialogue, the panelists discuss the evolution of the man as the central provider, taking into consideration both financial and non-financial aspects. They question how gender roles play out beyond the confines of the Black community, highlighting the critical issue of historical wealth accumulation and proper money management. The conversation also encompasses key areas such as corporate culture, individual ambitions, and societal influences on men's provision role.
Moreover, the discussion explores the concept of wealth accumulation, emotional availability, and maintaining a healthy relationship, shedding light on the challenges of high-earning individuals. The conversation touches on the stereotypes set by social media and the significance of self-awareness and self-worth. It further investigates how generational wealth creation may result in emotional disconnect, leading to the significance of true companionship in creating enduring relationships.
Experts Maurice Wilson and Gregory Devon share valuable insights and advice, focusing on the importance of goal-setting, financial independence, self-responsibility, and respect in relationships. In this enriching dialogue, the discourse unravels intricate aspects of career, relationships, and financial planning, thereby encouraging listeners to lead a purpose-oriented life and convert weaknesses into strengths.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone eager to broaden their understanding of modern relationship dynamics, financialization of courtship, and the relevance of traditional gender roles in contemporary society.

Ep 34: Millennial Money
Friday Sep 08, 2023
Friday Sep 08, 2023
It’s all about time-honored, savvy advice tailored especially for Millennials on this special episode of The Wilson Wealth Show. Hosted by Maurice Wilson, Founder of Wilson Wealth, the focus is on smart financial planning strategies for people born between 1981 and 1996 – a huge group facing very particular challenges, thanks to things like high interest rates, a tight housing market, career instability and the pressures to keep up with influencers. You’ll learn about the negative impacts of social media, especially when it comes to trading long-term financial security for short-term lifestyle choices that are more “show” than “go.” Get sage advice from Millennial entrepreneurs like Garrison Warren, Laterio Jackson and Marcus Johnson of Nashville-based Johnson Capital Planning as well as actionable insights from our host and Ablavi Gbenyon-Little, his Director of Operations at Wilson Wealth. The panel covers everything from when and how to buy a home to why attending college isn’t – and doesn’t need to be – for everyone. If you’re a Millennial (or of any other generation!), this is your starting point for achieving the financial literacy, health and freedom you desire now – and into retirement!

Key Quotes:
- “The days of not paying attention and just thinking that your income is going to be enough (to cover you through retirement) are over. It’s a disaster because it works until it doesn’t.” (Marcus)
- “Homing in on what we want to do with our money is important because, if we don’t do that, without a plan for our money, that money’s going to get spent!” (Marcus)
- “It’s a whirlwind of things that we’re dealing with. (High-living) is a great lifestyle from the looks of it, but in reality it’s kind of a ticking time bomb. The things that we’re doing today can really affect us in the future, financially and health-wise.” (Garrison)
- “This (Millennial) generation can now build wealth incrementally in some of the best-run companies out there … You can automate a ‘keep the change’ program that’s going directly to your brokerage account.” (Maurice)
- “Look into (life insurance) coverage while you’re young and healthy and get a policy to make sure you’re covered. There are also (term) life insurance policies that accumulate cash, which can be taken out on down the line.” (Laterio)
- “The one thing that separates the people who are successful versus people that aren’t is that they were truly committed to whatever they did.” (Marcus)
- “I was nervous. I was scared (to go out on my own). But I believed in my abilities.” (Garrison)
- “So often we get caught up in trying to have the illusion of success today when we aren’t putting in the work to be that truly successful individual tomorrow.” (Maurice)
- “It used to be that not going to college was a society marker for you being dumb, but now we’ve evolved past that. We use phraseology that allows us not to force anybody into a box ... It’s not about where you go but finding out what you want to do and giving it all you’ve got.” (Maurice)
- “Become obsessed with figuring out what you want to be when you grow up and devise the plans to get there, understanding that you might have to pivot and adjust but if you stay focused you will accomplish your goal.” (Ablavi)
- “The longer you stay in a career the more vulnerable you are to getting laid off in your 40s and not having a lot of options. So having a second income stream is probably one of the best pieces of advice you can give somebody.” (Maurice)
What We Covered:
0:25 – What defines a “Millennial” (born between 1981-1996) and why it’s a generation that demands our attention!

- Unaffordable/unavailable housing.
- Rising interest rates.
- Artificial Intelligence (and its implications).

2:00 – Marcus spells out the key financial obstacles to building Millennial wealth:
- Avoidance: Lack of awareness and diligence about how they are spending money.
- Social Media: Unchecked spending to keep up appearances.
- Falling Short on Savings: Not setting aside funds to provide liquidity in retirement.
3:00 – How to budget, save and manage debt!
3:45 – Key elements of a smart “spending plan” (aka budget!):
- What’s your overall monthly income?
- What are your predictable, fixed monthly expenses? (i.e. mortgage, car insurance, etc.)
- Are you running a deficit? If so, you need to make more money or cut expenses!
- Do you have a monthly surplus? It’s time to put that money to work for you!
- Set clear goals and benchmarks.
5:00 – Garrison, himself a Millennial, weighs in on the impacts of social media and the pressure to “keep up.” FOMO (fear of missing out) is real and can have real financial consequences.
6:30 – Warning: Maurice has observed that higher-income folks who tend to have the most vulnerability to immediate gratification rather than investing for long-term financial success.
7:40 – Garrison urges investing early in order to reap the benefits of compounding interest and committing to healthy habits to avert potentially costly medical issues and disqualification from life insurance.
09:48 – Marcus stresses the huge pay-off that can occur when we proactively manage our relationship with money and look at investing as a tool – and accelerator – for wealth.
11:00 – Laterio offers advice for Millennials who want to invest, even with limited resources. It starts with shifting your mindset and becoming financially literate!
13:00 – What is fractional investing? Maurice explains this new technology and how easy it is to purchase micro-amounts of attractive individual stocks.
14:15 – High interest rates, low inventory. Ablavi explores the considerations for Millennials when it comes to buying their first home, including:
- Saving for a down payment.
- Establishing excellent credit.
- Planning responsibly to carry the long-term financial commitment.
- Laying the foundation for a solid, reliable career/income.
15:25 – Is home ownership (or the possibility of being “house poor”) even a viable alternative for Millennials? A look at the upward interest rate cycle and what lies ahead, depending on geography and individual financial profiles.
17:20 – Laterio shares thoughts on life insurance, who needs it and at what point in life. It’s likely to be less costly and more available when you purchase as a young, healthy person.
19:30 – Where you want to be (at least 10x current income) when it comes to the amount of life insurance necessary to cover you and your family. Marcus also suggests you ask: What do you want your life insurance to do (and compensate for) if something were to happen to you?
23:10 – Getting entrepreneurial. Marcus reflects on his journey to starting an independent business and some of the common stumbling blocks for Millennials:
- Spreading their attention to thin; not committing to one focused project.
- Understanding that sacrifice is required and some days will be tough.
- Failing to keep the “why” front and center.
- Keeping to a vision that’s authentic (and not just something trending on social media).
25:45 – The secret to his success! What it took for Garrison to make a break from corporate banking to go out on his own in pursuit of a five-year plan to build independent wealth.
31:30 – What it looks like to be a Millennial parent who has switched careers. Laterio shares thoughts about the value of higher education, what she’s advising her teen-age daughter and why getting work experience is critical.
33:50 – Key Advice: Why Maurice believes it’s important to remind young people that careers can evolve and change. What you choose to do at 18 or 21 doesn’t have to be for life!
35:00 – Words to the Wise – The Panel’s Best Advice for Millennials Today:
- Ablavi: Become obsessed with figuring out what you want to be when you grow up and making the plans to get there. Even if you have to pivot, you’ll get there if you stay focused. Also: Consider starting a side hustle to protect against an unexpected layoff.
- Garrison: Stay off social media for social media’s sake! Take life seriously and plan for the unexpected. Get that life insurance early! Life is a journey, not a competition.
- Laterio: Remember that time is among your most valuable assets. Don’t allow yourself to be consumed by the thoughts of others about what your life should look like. Create a life for the person you want to be, bearing in mind that it might change down the line. Be gentle with – and invest in – yourself on the daily!
- Marcus: Remember that the people who make the most money in this world are the people who solve problems for other people. If you can figure out a way to do that, you’ll always have an income stream.
43:04 – Marcus’s Six Nuggets of Financial Wisdom:
- #1: Have a clear, specific idea of what you want your money to do.
- #2: Create an automated program for investing your money.
- #3: Diversify your investments and income streams.
- #4: Develop a long-term retirement plan. It’s not a short-term or do-it-yourself project!
- #5: Buy life insurance to create wealth. It’s a tax-free way to leave money to your kids.
- #6 : Protect your main investment: You! Self-care isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.
44:43 – Parting Thought: Maurice emphasizes the importance of taking downtime to recharge and using time wisely. (Check out Episode 1 of The Wilson Wealth Show, "The Value of Time.")

- “What’s important right now is to really make sure you structure the right deal on the front end when you get into commercial real estate.” (Herman)
- “Real estate is completely based on cycles. A lot of people have not seen this cycle (featuring higher interest rates) before, but this is not anything new.” (Herman)
- “In a city like Nashville … this is not a good market to be just now entering Airbnb. You need to find that next market. Places like Huntsville, Alabama, or places on the coast of Florida that are not as developed yet.” (Derrick)
- “People (in Charlotte) are waiting on the sidelines, waiting either for interest rates to go down or some type of landslide in (real estate) prices.” (Jahlil)
- “Properties (in Charlotte) have appreciated so much … (and) buyers are not motivated because of those high interest rates.” (Marcus)
- “Charlotte as a city may be slowing down but it’s actually impacting the surrounding areas positively.” (Jahlil)

- “Business-wise I would headquarter in Atlanta for one reason: I’m no longer a Black business. I’m just a business. Atlanta has transcended.” (Maurice)
- “You’re not just going to thrive (in Atlanta) because you’re a minority. You’re going to thrive because business is booming ... It is like the mecca for us and you can’t beat it.” (Jahlil)
- “There’s just so much opportunity for everybody to be successful (in Atlanta) and I think that that is part of the allure of the city. It just depends on lifestyle.” (Ablavi)
What We Covered:
- The state of commercial real estate in Atlanta, Charlotte and Nashville (what the Regional Planning Association calls the Piedmont-Atlantic mega-region or “New South”).
- Herman Hicks breaks down the landscape in Nashville: Post-pandemic vacancies have opened up buying opportunities, even given higher interest rates.
- Factors to consider when structuring a commercial real estate deal:
- Loan-to-value ratio.
- Cash flow.
- Leasing options.
- Understanding tenant profiles and qualifications.
- About the very real impacts of remote working on the commercial real estate space.
- How tenants can maximize leases by leveraging “tenant improvement” allowances.
- All About Triple-Net Deals:
- A lease between a business and the real estate owner.
- The tenant pays taxes, insurance and for everything inside the walls.
- The owner is responsible for everything outside the walls.
- The reality of commercial real estate:
- Don’t believe everything you see on social media.
- The barriers to entry on larger buildings are high.
- Equity comes from liquidity, which means bridging the wealth gap.
- Purchasing a million-dollar property requires a minimum 20% cash down.
- There’s nothing simple about large acquisitions and the cash flow/liquidity required.
- Where investors park their cash:
- Tax-deferred retirement accounts.
- Blue-chip/conservative stocks.
- Short-term CDs.
- Term life insurance.
- Derrick Salter takes a look at the Airbnb short-term rental market:
- Travel has had a major post-pandemic bump.
- More recently there has been a dip (probably due to increased interest rates and a surfeit of available rentals).
- Social media makes it look easy (and often easier than it actually is).
- Purchasing at a modest price point is key to breaking even.
- To turn a profit requires owning multiple (at least 10) units.
- Derrick’s Top Three Things to Know About Running an Airbnb Business:
- #1: Know the market you’re entering.
- #2: Know where travelers are going.
- #3: Know your revenue forecast and break-even point.
- Jahlil weighs in on the state of commercial real estate in Charlotte: An impasse!
- Business has boomed, which equates to a big bump in prices.
- Property values inflated during pandemic.
- Post-pandemic prices were high even as interest rates were increasing.
- The current climate is …wait and see!
- People of color are investing in real estate in Charlotte, but aren’t always as aware as they need to be of the implications of real estate cycles.
- Despite a slow-down in the Charlotte real estate market (due to interest rates and lack of inventory), the city and surrounding areas are booming and transforming!
- Jahlil’s Top Three Things to Know About the Charlotte Commercial RE Market:
- #1: Know and clean up your financial profile before you go shopping.
- #2: Know the demographic you’re serving (factors like age and income).
- #3: Know your long-term goals in terms of loan structure and disposition of the building.
- Ablavi offers a look at Atlanta real estate:
- The deals in metro Atlanta are harder to come by than they used to be.
- Great opportunities still exist at reasonable price points outside metro Atlanta.
- Business opportunities are abundant.
- Black-owned businesses are on the rise!
- Maurice weighs in with the long view on Atlanta’s role in the Black business community and as a touchstone for the New South.
- Which of the top three Piedmont-Atlantic cities offers the best opportunities for real estate investors, home owners and businesses?
- Herman: Atlanta because the price points are still reasonable and there’s more bang for the buck. Nashville and Charlotte are more recession-proof but you pay accordingly!
- Marcus: Echoing Herman’s thoughts, he adds that cities like Huntsville and Birmingham in Alabama also offer good opportunities.
- Derrick: He doesn’t think people starting out should try to compete in developed areas like Atlanta, Charlotte or Nashville, preferring smaller, more affordable cities like Huntsville.
- Maurice: Atlanta and surrounding areas (where bargains can still be found) offer the biggest base for establishing a thriving business that transcends race.
- Jahlil: Charlotte offers both a strong economy and buying opportunities (especially on the outskirts). But Atlanta is a powerhouse in terms of business climate and growth.
- Ablavi: The investors she knows are tending to look for deals outside of metro Atlanta, where the real estate is pricier. Home ownership and starting a business may also be out of reach inside the downtown area.
- Opportunities are out there. It’s just a matter of doing the homework and seeking advice from qualified financial and business planners.
