Ep. 72: Transfer Portal

This week on I Gotta Win the Lotto, we covered a little bit of everything—sports, culture, and money moves. One minute we’re talking NCAA football eligibility rules, the next we’re breaking down why everybody’s moving back home, and somehow we still made it back to investing in yourself and your business. A very on-brand episode, honestly.

The Reverse Great Migration Is Real

More people are packing up and heading back to the South—and no, it’s not just for cheaper rent and better food (though that helps). We broke down the reverse Great Migration and why Black professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs are choosing community, culture, and ownership over “the grind” elsewhere. It’s deeper than geography—it’s about legacy, access, and building where it actually feels like home.

Investing in Your Business Like It’s the Plan

At some point, you have to stop treating your business like a side quest. This episode dug into what it really means to invest in yourself—money, time, resources, and discipline. Whether it’s equipment, marketing, education, or just betting on your own vision, we talked about shifting the mindset from “maybe” to “this is it.”

Are you staying in the game, moving back home, or finally investing in yourself like you should’ve been?

Ep. 71: Let’s Get Magical

This week on I Gotta Win the Lotto, we’re stepping into 2026 energy early—hopeful, delusional (in the best way), and very aware that life does not come with a syllabus.

We start by talking about 2026 and what we think we want versus what life is probably going to do anyway. New year expectations are dangerous because suddenly everyone thinks they’re about to be their best self overnight. New routines. New boundaries. New personalities. Same old habits. But we’re trying.

Of course, expectations come up—expectations of friends, of trips, of ourselves. We talk about how expectations can quietly ruin a good time if you don’t check them early. Sometimes people don’t disappoint you—you just imagined a version of them they never agreed to be.

And then… Epcot: Drinking Around the World. Because nothing bonds people faster than walking miles in Florida heat while sipping drinks from 11 countries and pretending you’re cultured. We talk tips, chaos, pacing yourself (or not), and how by the end you’re emotional, hungry, and deeply reflective over a margarita in Mexico.

Ep. 70: Custom Fit

On this episode of I Gotta Win the Lotto, we sat down with Lefrais Monde and somehow managed to talk about everything—from fashion and custom pieces to relationships, self-expression, and of course… what life would look like if the lotto finally hit.

Lefrais Monde breaks down how fashion is more than just clothes—its identity. We talked about customization, standing out in a world of copy-and-paste style, and why personal touches matter more than trends. If it doesn’t feel like you, why wear it?

This episode is for the creatives, the lovers, the fashion-forward thinkers, and anyone who knows they’re one good opportunity away from leveling up.
