  • Episode 12: | Access to Capital Series w/ Robert Pitre
    2024/08/10
    Today we begin our Access to Capital Series with Robert Pitre, an Independent Businessman, Entrepreneur, Inventor, Real Estate Developer, and Community Leader from Dallas, Texas who has been self-employed for 53 years and counting.

    Robert started his career with $300. Yes - $300! He used $272 to buy a car and parlayed the remaining $28 dollars of operating capital into a successful multi-million dollar enterprise.

    Robert Pitre grew up in a Beaumont Texas Housing Project but is now the owner of Skyline Ranch, which boasts an event center and ballroom, a swimming pool, a natural spring, 2 volleyball courts, 2 basketball courts, horses, and a full view of the Dallas Skyline. Robert is one of the largest Black landowners in Dallas, Texas and is said to own more land in Dallas, Texas than Mark Cuban and Jerry Jones combined.

    One of Robert’s chief goals is to empower and create opportunities for urban youth, a passion we both share. In this episode, Robert talks about mindset and money, economic embargoes, the role that banks (and governments) can play in community development, the need for access to capital for Black Americans, how he overcame setbacks to become a multi-millionaire, and how he and his then 94-year-old grandmother Marie Forward helped create legislation in the State of Texas in the year 2005.

    And one of the most valuable lessons Robert shares in this podcast interview is from his mother, who told him at 12 years old that “if you can define yourself, nothing can stop you.” Thank you, Robert, for showing all of us how true this is!

    2024/02/08
    Today, during Black History Month, the Strategic Wins Podcast ™ presents Mr. Melvin F. Williams, Jr., an extraordinarily accomplished individual, principled leader, and C-Suite Executive in the financial services industry.

    Melvin is currently the Chief Legal Officer at the Chicago Trading Company, a leading proprietary trading firm and market maker providing liquidity in all major exchanges.

    Melvin is also a two-time Presidential appointee by (two-term) President Barack Obama.

    Over the course of his brilliant career, Melvin has also served as:
    • General Counsel for the U.S. Small Business Administration;
    • General Counsel and Corporate Secretary for the Millenium Challenge Corporation; and
    • Director and Counsel at Citi, one of the largest consumer banks in the world.
    Like me, Melvin started his legal career as a Judicial Law Clerk for a United States District Court Judge.

    Melvin has a tremendous amount of widsom to share with aspiring and current professionals, including lawyers, entrepreneurs, and C-Suite executives. Below are five nuggets of wisdom he shared during his dynamic interview with the Strategic Wins Podcast ™.

    Remember:
    1. Everyone is deserving of your kindness;
    2. Speak up on behalf of others who want and are prepared for opportunity, especially when you are the only "one" in the room;
    3. Choose a job that values you, is worthy of your time, and makes you better;
    4. You do not need to check all boxes when applying for opportunities. Take a chance on yourself (!);
    5. Do not discount your power!
    Many thanks to Melvin for his outstanding contribution to the Strategic Wins Podcast™ and for being a shining example of leadership and success in the legal profession and financial services industry.

    You can listen to his inspiring and thought-provoking podcast interview here on Spreaker, Apple Podcasts, Spodify, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.

    Today, Strategic wins ™ returns to our Trailblazer Series, featuring the phenomenal Carmen M. Lineberger, a Managing AUSA for the Southern District of Florida, who has been a prosecutor her entire career.

    In the interview, Carmen talks about:
    • Becoming a Managing AUSU for the Southern District of Florida;
    • George Floyd*;
    • Doing the right thing;
    • How prosecutors can use their discretion;
    • Her DEI + mentoring work in the world of prosecution; and
    • Challenges she faced and how she overcame them to get to where she is today.

    Carmen also talks about the legacy of her father and the gravitas and inspiration that comes from being a daddy’s girl (which I can fully appreciate because my father was also my little league coach).
