What does it really take to rise above the odds, build wealth as a first-generation earner, and leave a legacy that lasts?
In this powerful episode of the LEGACY Pregame Podcast, Marcella Mollon-Williams sits down with Dr. Will Moreland — a world-renowned leadership strategist, speaker, and first-generation millionaire whose journey began in Compton, California. From being raised by a strong grandmother in the midst of gang violence, to almost being sent to jail at 18, to finding life-changing mentors in the military, Dr. Will’s story is filled with resilience, intentional choices, and the power of vision.
Together, Marcella and Dr. Will unpack:
- Planning with the end in mind: why every legacy starts with a clear vision of where you want to finish.
- Building strong foundations: faith, foundation, family, fun, finances, and the self-care that makes legacy sustainable.
- The role of mentorship: how the right people at the right time can completely alter your trajectory.
- Letting time be your power: why consistency and patience beat quick wins every time.
- Creating legacy conversations: practical ways to use family dinners, traditions, and intentional dialogue to pass down wisdom alongside wealth.
Dr. Will also shares the importance of disrupting old mindsets, how exposure shapes possibility, and why true wealth is built not in your bank account but in your “brain account” first.
If you’re a first-gen high ready to move beyond just making money and into building something that outlives you, this episode is your blueprint.
