In this debut episode of Builders & Bosses, we dive into Black Titan—the story of A.G. Gaston, one of the most powerful and overlooked Black entrepreneurs in American history.

Born in post-slavery Alabama, Gaston rose from coal miner to multi-millionaire by identifying needs in his community and building institutions that served them—funeral homes, insurance companies, banks, and more. His legacy is a masterclass in resilience, ownership, and vision.

In this episode, I break down key chapters of the book and explore what today’s entrepreneurs and creators can learn from Gaston’s playbook.

You’ll hear about:

• Why your early environment is your proving ground
• How Gaston turned burial needs into his first empire
• The power of delegation and building beyond yourself
• What it means to invest in people—not just profit
• How to lead on both sides: business and social impact
