Episode Description

Dr. Kempton Freeman did everything we're told leads to success — became a first-generation college graduate, earned his doctorate, and built a career as an educator and football coach. But financial freedom still hasn't followed.

After surviving a stroke at 37, Freeman began rethinking success, fatherhood, health, purpose, and the future he wants to build for his son.

In this episode of Black Men Sundays, Corie Murray talks with Dr. Freeman about education vs. financial success, therapy and vulnerability, finding purpose, building ownership, teaching young Black men about money, and why generational wealth requires more than simply leaving your children a check.

Dr. Freeman is also the author of Free: The Costs of Becoming Me.
