Hi,

My Sirius XM Wealthy Ways Show guest this weekend is Eddie Brown, founder of Brown Capital Management.

With more than $9.5 billion in assets, currently under management, Brown Capital Management is one of the oldest African-American asset management companies in the United States. And is 100% employee owned.

Eddie Brown’s story is one of overcoming immense odds.

From being born to a 13-year-old, raised in his early years by his grandparents to distributing moonshine with his uncle all over central Florida (before he was a teenager), Eddie was an entrepreneur!

But life changed drastically with the death of his grandmother, and his move to Pennsylvania to live with his mom.

Eddie’s tenacity was still there as a teenager, but now it was channeled into getting good grades in school and helping his mother with odd jobs in the neighborhood.

A wealthy, anonymous, female benefactor hearing of Eddie’s story, financed his education at Howard University for all four years!

As a Howard grad, Eddie married the love of his life, Sylvia (also a Howard alum), and began his career journey - IBM, as an engineer, earning his MBA, to joining the investment firm of T. Rowe Price. And then branching out on his own to build Brown Capital Management.

Eddie Brown shares his inspiring life story and success principles in his best-selling book entitled, Beating The Odds: Eddie Brown’s Investing and Life Strategies.

His co-author is the iconic writer, Blair Walker, who wrote the best-selling book about business titan Reginald Lewis, Why Should All The White Guys Have All The Fun?

Here are 7 take-aways from my interview with Eddie Brown on how to beat the odds:

It does not matter where you come from, it only matters where you go from there.
Education is one of the most important assets a person can have - especially financial education.
It is very important to have a great supportive system – a spouse or partner. They will have a tremendous impact on your success, or your failure.
Always live below your means! Your expenses must never exceed your income. Save and invest the rest!
Always give without remembering, and always receive without forgetting.
Get great mentors, who will share wisdom with you.
Let your money grow over time, at least 3-5 years. Avoid "get rich quick" investment schemes.
