Economic Justice is Social Justice: Build Wealth without Burnout

In a world where democracy hangs by a thread and our fundamental rights face daily assault, one truth remains stark: economic power determines our ability to resist. This isn’t just about prosperity. This isn’t just about success. This is about survival in its most fundamental form.

The harsh reality confronts us daily: We cannot fight for justice when we’re fighting to keep our lights on. We cannot fund movements while dodging bill collectors. We cannot protect voting rights when we’re working three jobs to make rent. We cannot sustain resistance when our bank accounts are empty. Economic justice IS social justice. It’s one significant part of being able to make good trouble in the world.

Let me be absolutely clear about what’s at stake. Every time we witness books being banned, voting rights being stripped away, and civil liberties being challenged, the question that emerges isn’t just about our willingness to fight. It’s about our capacity to sustain that fight. Our economic freedom isn’t just about individual success. It’s about our collective ability to resist, persist, and create lasting change.

I’ve witnessed this truth firsthand, and I refuse to stay silent about it.

In 2023, my company nearly collapsed. As I’ve shared on my Professional Troublemaker podcast, the experience shattered more than balance sheets. It challenged every assumption about success, power, and what it truly takes to create change in a system designed to maintain the status quo. This isn’t just my story. It’s a reflection of the broader struggle we all face in building sustainable power.

• When we build successful businesses, we create more than jobs. We forge safe spaces for excellence to flourish.
• When we secure our economic power, we gain the freedom to walk away from spaces that diminish our worth.
• When we build wealth, we fund the movements that protect our civil rights, our voting rights, our human rights.
• When we achieve financial independence, we break generational chains of economic oppression.

But building sustainable businesses requires more than determination. It demands strategic brilliance, unwavering focus, and access to proven frameworks for success. This is precisely why on this week’s episode of my podcast I’m bringing you Chloe Hakim-Moore; Forbes 30 Under 30. Builder of multiple eight-figure companies. No trust fund. No shortcuts. Just relentless excellence and strategic brilliance. She’s built sustainable organizations that prove we can create wealth without sacrificing our integrity or well-being.

The goal isn’t simply accumulating wealth. It’s building the economic foundation that allows us to fight longer, stand stronger, and create systemic change. Because in a world where excellence keeps getting overlooked for mediocrity, taking up economic space isn’t optional. It’s revolutionary. It’s necessary. It’s urgent.

The marketplace isn’t just about commerce. It’s a battleground for equity, justice, and systemic change. Every successful business we build becomes a platform for advocacy. Every dollar we generate becomes ammunition in the fight for justice. Every economic milestone we achieve strengthens our collective capacity to resist oppression.

In these critical times, we cannot afford to wait. We cannot afford to be timid. We cannot afford to be silent. Economic power isn’t just about individual success. It’s about collective liberation. It’s about building the resources we need to sustain long-term resistance and create lasting change.

Because building generational wealth? That’s what allows us to make the necessary trouble that changes systems. That’s what gives us the power to protect our communities, fund our movements, and secure our futures. The time for economic revolution is now. The question isn’t whether you’ll participate. The question is: How will you lead?
