The #1 money and career podcast FOR women of color BY women of color looking to build wealth and the career of their dreams. Winner of The Webby Award, Brown Ambition helps you unapologetically build wealth by saving, investing and making smart career choices - on your own terms!

Breaking Up with Corporate: Real Talk on Entrepreneurship ft Chris Corinthian & Marc Russell
Mandi is joined at the Brown Table by best friend duo Marc Russell and Chris Corinthian. Marc is an investing expert at @betterwallet and Chris is a college scholarships and grants expert at Debt-Free Degree. Together, we’re diving deep into their journeys with money-tackling student debt, making that scary leap from corporate to entrepreneurship, and why community support is EVERYTHING.
Chris shares how he leveled up his finances, teaches families how to land scholarships and juggles parenting with his first full year of entrepreneurship. Marc keeps it real on managing money as an entrepreneur, and Mandi reminds us why resilience (and a good budget) can carry us through life’s wildest transitions.

Aw hey Chris! Glad to see the collab
🙏🏿
Accountability coaches 💯
You are wearing that red 💄!
yessss! it was lunar new year day so I had to go red! I think this is Hot Mama by The Lip Bar
This was so super great, informative and fantastic!!!
Thanks for listening! We appreciate you!
Thank you, great information. Enjoy your weekend
Thanks, you too!
Beyonce has like 8 concerts on DVD.
huh!
Huh, what?
Oh, i think I found a new good pod 🙂 Why does every other creator of color always need to put a descriptor of your skin color in the name though🙄
because we love ourselves and we are actively hated and oppressed and it's liberating to create a sense of self-love?
BHM ads are on Target's app NOW!
😂Man y'all are insane, B.W. this B.W. that B.W. shut up!
Amazing episode
wow thank you so much!
Eggs are expASSSIVE Mands!!!
LOL I knowwwwww
Watching this on youtube is suuuuch an upgrade to the BA experience. You _are_ hard on Chris, but it's funny so we'll let it fly. Stay strong, Mr. Popcorn.
BAHAHA.... Chris is FINE! He can hold his own. I am so glad you're watching us on UA-cam now! Welcome
Thank you! I need the support because Mandi is always coming for me 😂
NONE OF THEM ever cared! I remember in 2020 retailers that never sold black merchandise had it then I would say by 2023 they completely stopped and most of them didn't even have a black history section anymore. I said to myself oh I see so yall was profiting because of the passing of George Floyd and the protests ok that's part of many reasons why I support black owned online. Don't have time for the tricks and clown show yall playing on black people it ain't right!!!💯💯💯
Sad but true....although there are some business doing the right thing and doubling down.
Maybe this is a silly question, but with Ulta in Target stores, how does Target's reversal on DE&I affect Ulta? Kim stated Ulta doubled down on their DE&I efforts, but would that be the same going forward? Wouldn't Target still get a % of Ulta sales purchased in their stores? 🤔
this is a great question! and of course yes im sure target gets a cut. but as kim says, there are till 700+ ulta stores out there!
I remember investing in curlmix back in 2021…great investment…I invest in people more than I do the actual product…kudos to Kim sounds like a great leader with a great vision
thats amazing! thank you for supporting and listening to the show.
Hate to publish swearing comments, but... tRUMP: Wht male agenda's make America America dire again!... (more dire again)!
I love this new format! It feels like a daily radio show like Breakfast club. love how current this is. So fun and informative ❤
yessssss I am so glad you're loving it! stay tuned because we're doing so much more and have some fun ideas in store. -Mandi
I just learned from a friend- when group dining, have two separate bills, one for drinks and one for food- this way the non drinkers have nothing to do with how much a person drinks (besides taking their car keys ) or pays 😮
oooo that's smart. how does it work when you split the bill though? like if it's more than 2 people?
@ the waiter is informed to separate the alcoholic drinks from the food
Thank you Kim for sharing the perspective. Thank you Mandy for always addressing what’s going on and having guest with incredible insight on the show
yesss, thanks for listening!
Those were some really great questions. The math has to make sense always. 👌🏾
❤
Unfortunately this is Trump and Elon’s America now. People need to stand up!
@@beekeeper8474Gaslighting. DEI does not equal black person….unless your racist.
I hate this for you and your family Mandi. I hate this for all of us. We gotta put that full armor of God on everytime we hit these streets. Prayers for you, hubby, and family that God provides Strength, Peace, and Blessings upon Blessings. When God opens a door, no man can close it. Looking forward to hear about hubby's next offer!!🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amen 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you for the prayers and words of encouragement!
Woo saah, Sis. I felt the sting of hubby's rescinded job offer. Just said a prayer for y'all's highest and best. 🙏
Thank you for the prayers. We appreciate it!
Love this 👍🏾👍🏾
When I tell you I laughed , Smiled and felt inspired. While watching this podcast!!! Thank you ladies you are all amazing and inspiring !!!! I see myself setting on the podcast with you ladies one day :)
I am SO here for that, girl! thank you for listening! -Mandi
Truly is heartbreaking that we as a country couldn't pull through to deliver even the basics-- a president who wasn't antagonistic to them because of their immutable traits. Black women get the short end of the stick a lot of times in our country. But when the chips were down, and our backs against the wall, they showed up. How's that for doing your civic duty? We have a lot of work to do to fix the injustices in this country.
Donald trump thrives on division. WAKE THE HELL UP.
IMO, Black Girl Joy is ALWAYS present and available to us, no matter who's in office, because we are our own source of community, stability, and strength. We've always given these traits to others and now we're finally reaping our own harvest! ❤❤❤
yes! love this ❤️❤️❤️
Make sure to use your legs ladies (when lifting)😂😂😂
LOL...right? past age 30, it's a MUST.
Hi Mandi!!Following Deesha, Erin, and The 19th after hearing this Brown Ambition episode!! Thank you so much for that episode. God Bless!! "How to find Black Girl Joy in The Second Era of Trump"
I am so happy to hear that! They are amazing. Thanks for listening. ❤️
That def makes sense. If you live in a metro area with reliable transportation it’s a plus.
right! yanely got us all out here wanting to ditch our cars...
Car payments are not $1000 a month. Live within your means.
that's the national average YUP...so disturbing!
So if you don’t have any children or spouse you don’t need life insurance. So you should just have something saved to bury you.
yes, if you can put away money for your end of life needs. there's no rule saying you need to set aside those funds in the form of a life insurance policy.thanks for listening!
Come to Detroit foundational Black Americans in California, use that FEMA money and tell them to relocate you to Detroit and use that FEMA money to buy up these affordable housing, and I do think they are offering 24,000 grants to buy those hones. Detroit has 665,000 Foundational Black Americans with a small Hispanic population and a small white population, come here and bolster those numbers, get Detroit back up to a million foundational Black Americans in the city, water, affordable housing and your people in the majority, come to Detroit California black people.
“Aww, Mandi, super proud of the transition! 🎉 Although I miss Tiffany, you’re doing amazing, girl! Lol, you should still sing us the song from time to time. I find myself still singing ‘We’re back, we’re Black, we’re Brown Ambition’ 😂😂 it’s like a staple; you can’t just drop it! Also, I love these guys; you should make them regulars! Three totally different personalities that work
That is so sweet, thank youuuu! I will take that feedback and to sprinkle in some singing! :)
There should be laws protecting us from insurance companies
I mean... those regulatory bodies do exist ... for now! But the way this new administration is dismantling regulations I don't think that's going to happen.
Morning BA Panel, insurance is a fraud - my mom paid her premiums on time for years, when she passed in 2020 (not from covid), the insurance paid my sister and I half of the benefit- the insurance company stated after a certain amount of years the payments towards the premiums are reduced for the beneficiaries- why would a person continue paying? I asked, I’d like to see the document where my mom’s signature agreed to such a thing - crickets. Insurance companies are crooks - Mandy I agree, have your own savings if you can.
OH my goodness. First of all, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. For you and your sister to have to deal with shady insurance company after that....makes my blood boil. Thank you for sharing and validating what we're saying ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Mandi, Nayeli/Yaneli ,(so sorry, tried to find proper spelling below), and Chris!! I definately feel like we are going to have to find ways to help our own communities! I still wonder if all these "natural disasters" are truly mother nature or the intentional work of Man. Waiting to see what new pops up in those areas, once the fires are done. I'm very skeptical. Especially because of the history of Altedena.😮😢❤ Love the panel. Your doing the thing Mandi!!🎉
Regina! Thanks so much for listening and for the thoughtful comment. It's crazy but not impossible to think the fires in LA could have been started by man...they are still investigating. Either way, it's such a tragedy. Thanks for the love!
❤💙💛💛🩷🧡

I’m just now watching the episodes discussing Tiffany’s decision to leave the podcast and just want Tiffany and Mandi to know how much I appreciate Brown Ambition (🎵Ambition, Ambition, Ambition 🎶) and especially how much you both show care and support for each other. I totally agree, everyone should have this type of friendship. I wish the very best for both of you!!
awwww thank you so much!
Kamala Harris isnt Black American We have to stop putting Tethers into office
With so many scammers out there, great to see good information out there!
No doubt!
Such a fun and upbeat episode! Thank you both!
thanks for listening! kanoa is a ray of light we all need right?
Yes ladies Yes!! I want to participate in the ski trips but because of my age, have no interest in trynna get on ski's...lol. Mandi, I think your talking about snow tubing! When I was younger took 2 ski trips. Never 🎿 but did ice skating, snow tubing, participated in all the indoor events, and hot cocoa. It was fun for me!!😂❤
thanks so much for listening! snow tubing sounds AMAZING....
Hey Mandi!! Love this episode. Shared it with my Cuzzo. But wait!! I don't remember nudes scenes of Penelope in Bridgerton!! I watched the entire show, but maybe that's a good thing. I may not remember because it wasn't something that made me blink, or think twice. Just must not have been something I paid attention to. I'm happy for that (because obviously I wasn't judging it) but also a little dissapointed in myself (cause I didn't realize to celebrate her either). Thank you for having this talk. Luv ya, Regina❤
you gotta go re-watch season 4, sis!
Why wouldn’t it be safe for larger women?
When it comes to equipment and technical gear, those are designed to adequately support the body in them i.e. hiking boots, harnesses, surfboards, ski boots, personal floatation devices, kayaks - when we utilize these things that were never designed or tested for larger and/or heavier bodies, it puts plus-size people in unsafe circumstances. Unfortunately 99% of outdoor equipment and gear out in the world was never designed, tested or intended for a plus-size body. That is unsafe.
@@kanoagreene OK thank you very much. I guess I never thought about it.
couldn't have said it better ourselves!
thanks for listening and for asking a Q!
