Today, we celebrate 5 years of ! The first episode of BTGM dropped on June 23, 2020, exactly 5 years ago today, and I'm so thankful for the journey so far. This podcast has been such a big part of my life, and the mission remains the same as we amplify not only the success stories in our community of Black tech and wealth, but also provide strategies and guidance to help you find your way to success and legacy also.

Black Tech Green Money has been nominated for an NAACP Image Award (2023) and boasts hundreds of thousands of downloads. Our community has embraced the podcast and these stories in so many ways, and its humbling to be able to join you on your workouts, car and train rides, and in the kitchen each week.

There have been so many great guests on the podcast, and I'm sure some were missed from the collage (putting those together is harder than it looks!) but THANK YOU to each founder, entrepreneur, investor, engineer, executive, and dreamer who has joined me on the podcast.

Yes, its been 5 great years, but it still feels like the beginning! THANK YOU to my family, my .tech family, my and
fam and so many more.

Specific thank you's to , , , and for all the support and for the platform.

And the squad, , , , and others who make this podcast happen each week! Jawara, Ihaku, Shanelle, Taylor, Nicole and so many more!

This one’s for the culture.

I'm proud to introduce our first apparel collab: x . Two Toledo-born brands that know what it means to come together to make something bigger than we could by ourselves.

Commons is Toledo's first Black-owned pizza company, based inside TolHouse and open to the public. Mud Made means to come from the bottom and prevail through it all. This collab is a love letter to our roots: Hip Hop, soul, flavor, and style.

This is just the beginning. At , we're collaborating with the best artists, designers, and brands around.

Come celebrate the Commons Pizza & Cinnamon Rolls grand opening with us tomorrow at TolHouse from 11-4. 1447 N. Summit St., in Toledo.

Tonight, we’re celebrating three incredible years of bringing jazz, blues, and soul to life at . Our jazz lounge, , was built to honor our community’s rich jazz history and create a space where the music always comes first—and we’ve been blessed to see that vision come to life.

Every performance, connection, and moment so far in this room is, to me, proof of how powerful this music and this community really are.

To the amazing artists who’ve brought their gifts to our stage, every member of the audience who’s made Lucille’s a home, and my team that works hard to make it all happen—you’ve each made this place what it is: Toledo's premiere live music venue.

Here’s to keeping jazz alive, inspiring the next generation, and building something real for our city. Toledo’s always been a jazz town, and we’re just getting started. 🎷❤️

Tonight, we celebrate with Keller, Kocher, and Company. Let’s toast to the music, the memories, and what’s still ahead. 🥂

With gratitude,
Will

It’s rare sitting on the other side of the interview. I’m used to being the host, but I knew one day I’d get to be the guest. And, to be the guest on stage in LA no less, makes it even more special. I grew up dreaming about being on a stage in this town - that people would show up to see me. And it feels better than I imagined. They treated me well, too. The crew was attentive, the green room was stocked, and the seats were full. 75 tickets available, but 300 people wanting them. A waiting list. To say it’s humbling doesn’t say enough. But, I’m very thankful.

I’m a kid from Toledo, Ohio who started podcasting in my basement (I still record there occasionally). I have incredible teams at Creadio and TolHouse - both growing enterprises which I founded, get to be part of an amazing team at Blavity, Afrotech and produce + host Black Tech Green Money, and wanted to hear my story.

All this and more is possible, I’m a witness.

Thank you Yo Quiero Dinero: Personal Finance For Latinas and Austin Hankwitz for being gracious hosts who do their research!
