The Steve Harvey Morning Show

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Michelle Taylor Willis. Author, Speaker, Award-Winning Community Leader 🎯 Purpose of the Interview To explore Michelle’s guidebook “Raising Significance”, which offers practical advice for parents on how to raise children who are not just successful, but significant—meaning they positively impact the world around them. The interview also highlights Michelle’s personal journey, her community work, and the values that drive her. 🔑 Key Takeaways 1. Success vs. Significance Michelle defines a powerful distinction: “Success is about you and your immediate circle. Significance is about how you turn your success to work for everybody else.” Her book aims to help parents raise children who are intentional change-makers, not just achievers. 2. Eight Tenets of Parenting While not all are listed in the interview, Michelle emphasizes one foundational principle: “Obey immediately and happily.”This sets the tone for discipline, respect, and responsiveness in children. 3. Healthy Fear is Necessary Michelle advocates for instilling a respectful fear of authority and consequences: “Sometimes you just need to do what I say do… because I’m saving your life.” 4. Music Enhances Critical Thinking Michelle encourages early musical education: “All my kids started piano at five… There’s a direct correlation between music, math, and critical thinking.” Rashawn shares his own experience with music and how it shaped his memory and academic success. 5. Greek Life as a Catalyst Both Michelle (AKA) and Rashawn (Omega Psi Phi) reflect on how joining Black Greek organizations shaped their discipline, focus, and lifelong networks: “It was a life-changing event… It expanded my value of relationships and networking.” 6. Community Recognition Matters Michelle expresses deep gratitude for being honored: “I will never be sick of somebody telling me they value what I do.” She views awards not as vanity but as validation of meaningful work. 7. Parenting with Purpose Michelle’s book is not about perfection but intentionality: “I’m not a parenting expert… But if you instill these things early, significance won’t be accidental—it’ll be inevitable.” 💬 Notable Quotes On parenting: “You act happy about it. Because if you don’t act happy, then you’re going to make me unhappy. And I promise you, you don’t want me unhappy.” On legacy: “Raising significance is about how you teach your children to change the world—and teach others to do the same.” On humility: “It’s never about me.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney Diane Clair. A Georgia-based legal expert specializing in: Real Estate LawEstate Planning & ProbateBusiness & Contract Law She also teaches real estate law at Kennesaw State University and offers a Real Estate Investing Masterclass. 🔑 Key Takeaways from the Interview 1. Legal Profession Misconceptions The legal field is often misrepresented by personal injury ads.Attorney Claire emphasizes that law is much broader and includes critical areas like estate planning and real estate. 2. Dangers of DIY Legal Work Many people use platforms like LegalZoom or AI tools to draft wills or contracts, which can lead to costly mistakes.Claire warns that AI can fabricate legal information and should not replace professional legal counsel. 3. Getting Started in Real Estate Investing You don’t need a lot of money to begin.Start by: Creating a business entity (LLC, S-Corp, etc.)Exploring tax liens and tax deedsUsing county foreclosure lists to find investment opportunities Claire’s firm helps with title searches, quiet title actions, and closing processes. 4. Estate Planning: Will vs. Trust A will outlines asset distribution but must go through probate.A trust (especially irrevocable) avoids probate, offers tax benefits, and protects assets.Trusts can own property, businesses, bank accounts, and more. 5. Wealth Transfer & Protection Trusts allow for tax-free gifting (e.g., tuition payments).Assets in a trust are shielded from lawsuits and creditors.Claire advises putting all major assets in a trust or business entity. 💡 Notable Quotes “Don’t have anything in your own name—have it in the name of the trust or the business.”“Real estate is the best thing to invest in and pass down to future generations.”“64% of Americans don’t have an estate plan. For minorities, it’s 70%.” 📘 Resources Mentioned Website: TheClaireFirm.comReal Estate Investing Masterclass: Includes video, PowerPoint, and lender resourcesConsultations: Available for real estate, estate planning, and business law #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
