On today’s episode, host Jerome D. Love has a candid conversation with someone who really needs no introduction. Millions of fans have known his name for decades as a member of the iconic music groups Bell Biv Devoe (BBD) – and New Edition but today we shine the spotlight on him as an entrepreneur and businessman.
Our guest, Ronald Boyd Devoe Jr. is the CEO and founder of Devoe Real Estate, a brokerage based in Atlanta, Georgia. As a self-proclaimed survivalist, with no prior blueprint of what to do with money, Ron shares what he did when he got his first “real check,” why real estate is the best thing on earth, and how he went from bankruptcy to a thriving real estate business! Ron Devoe is now helping other Black people close the wealth gap through home ownership and gives insight into the Keys Unlock Dreams Initiative.
