You Didn’t Start a Business to Stay Broke | Mac Reed’s Wealth Blueprint

What happens when an HBCU graduate combines faith, business strategy, and a mission to help others win?

In Episode 11 of the HBCU4U Podcast, Galen Turner sits down with his lifelong friend @cfocoachmac —a proud Prairie View A&M University graduate, entrepreneur, accountant, author, and creator of the Built to Pay You™ Wealth Triangle Framework.

Mac shares his journey from Cleveland, Mississippi, to building multiple successful businesses while helping entrepreneurs save millions in taxes, master cash flow, and create businesses that truly pay them.

In this powerful conversation, Mac breaks down why many entrepreneurs fail—not because they lack talent, but because they don’t understand money management.

🔥 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why revenue does NOT equal profit
• The dangerous mistake that cost an entrepreneur $2 million
• The 3 stages of the Wealth Triangle: Make, Manage & Multiply Money
• Why cash flow is the lifeblood of every business
• How Prairie View A&M shaped his confidence and entrepreneurial mindset
• The lessons he learned from failure, basketball, and coaching youth
• Why your purpose should be bigger than your paycheck
• How faith and business can work together to change lives

One of the most powerful moments of this episode is when Mac says:

"My job is to remove money from their prayer list so they can pray about something else."

Whether you're a student dreaming of entrepreneurship, a young professional, a business owner, or someone searching for purpose, this episode delivers wisdom that can change the way you think about success.
