CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN — WE THE SPECIES
Hosted by Calvin Schwartz
Meet JUSTIN MAHWIKIZI: “When we connected a few weeks ago, Iprocessed Justin’s vast financial background and accomplishments. His book,‘The Manufacturing of Poverty,’ resonated hugely. Endless questions to ask himin an interview. Bouncing around my sensibilities is how to keep this interviewless than 100 questions. Justin is eloquent, caring, genuine, and brilliant. Heinspired many off-topic questions. Future thinks. This interview is essential.I think it's expedient to insert some ideas, words, concepts, and images intothis intro. Purpose. To induce viewing. You can look in someone’s eye and seepoverty. Poverty is something manufactured rather than accidental. It’s likeplaying basketball on a soccer field. (powerful imagery). He interviewed tens ofthousands of people. Main takeaway. How similar people are. Several times, heanswered, “Find Trust.” Reduce costs.Buy together. (for small businesses). Be gatherers, not hunters. Allow yourselfto fail. I heard the same thing last week in another interview. Modern financeis 75% psychology and 25% math. He’d like to spend a day with ThurgoodMarshall. So would I! Marshall’s father took him to court when he was a kid toobserve the court. Amazing parenting. The Shawshank Redemption. (an answer to aquestion) Dignity in escaping poverty. Love yourself first. Justin attendedValley Forge Military Academy. Then Temple. We talked about John Chaney,basketball coach. Enough said to grasp the depth, diversity, and necessity ofthis interview.” Calvin
