This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. I want to be a billionaire. That's it. That's the time. Oh, okay. Cool. I was just letting you rock. And I'm going to be here with you. So we can be two billionaires. That's it. Forever. Dead ass. One, two, three. It all started with real talk, unfiltered, honest, and straight from the heart. Since then, we've gone on to become Webby Award-winning podcasters in New York Times, bestselling authors. Deadass was more than a podcast for us. It was about our growth. A place where we could be vulnerable, be raw. Fores. But most importantly, be us. But as we know, life keeps evolving, and so do we.

And through it all, one thing has never changed.

This is Ellis Ever After.

Dead ass.

Because we got a lot to talk about.

Story time.

So, Trouble, shout out to Trouble.

Tribble always hold us accountable. Of course. But also asks the question, and I think also holds us accountable as people who have acquired a lot of things. But ask the question, tell us a story about a time you've used your wealth to help people moving forward. And if you guys know us, you know that this is what we do.

Oh, man. 2010, what was the anti-wealthy? We was anti-wealthy, but we had wealth in different ways because we had knowledge. Indeed, indeed, right? One thing Kadeen and I always did, and we always do, is open our home to children.

Mm-hmm. different ways because we had knowledge. Indeed. Indeed. One thing Cadeen and I always did,

and we always do, is open our home to children. I've been a mentor. Cadena's been a mentor to these

kids as well, because Lord knows when they come to Coach DeVow's house, somebody got to feed them

and make sure they're good. So Cadine and I have been mentors. And from 2010 to, I believe, 2019, Cadeen and I have been mentors. And from 2010 to, I believe, 2019,

Cadeen and I helped, along with my brother, Brian, Dolo, Rick.

It was a team of us.

Yeah.

We helped over 400 young men and women get to college.

Yeah.

Right.

The reason why I'm going to talk about the wealth part is because I had applied with Marcel

Vernon, who shout out to Marcel Vernon. He was an executive at Cushman and Wake, another dude

who acquired a lot of wealth, who invested in me to help me open up the gym at Aviator and then

Packplex. He was like, yo, I can write grants. I want to write a grant to help get some funds
