    Oct 9 2025

    • Audit your emotional triggers
    • Reframe what success looks like
    • Align your spending with your true values

    If you’re ready to shift from flexing for likes to building for legacy, this episode will show you how to make sure your wealth serves your life — not the other way around.

  • From Compton to Global Influence: Dr. Will Moreland’s First-Gen Millionaire Journey – Ep. 15
    Oct 2 2025

    What does it really take to rise above the odds, build wealth as a first-generation earner, and leave a legacy that lasts?

    In this powerful episode of the LEGACY Pregame Podcast, Marcella Mollon-Williams sits down with Dr. Will Moreland — a world-renowned leadership strategist, speaker, and first-generation millionaire whose journey began in Compton, California. From being raised by a strong grandmother in the midst of gang violence, to almost being sent to jail at 18, to finding life-changing mentors in the military, Dr. Will’s story is filled with resilience, intentional choices, and the power of vision.

    Together, Marcella and Dr. Will unpack:

    • Planning with the end in mind: why every legacy starts with a clear vision of where you want to finish.
    • Building strong foundations: faith, foundation, family, fun, finances, and the self-care that makes legacy sustainable.
    • The role of mentorship: how the right people at the right time can completely alter your trajectory.
    • Letting time be your power: why consistency and patience beat quick wins every time.
    • Creating legacy conversations: practical ways to use family dinners, traditions, and intentional dialogue to pass down wisdom alongside wealth.

    Dr. Will also shares the importance of disrupting old mindsets, how exposure shapes possibility, and why true wealth is built not in your bank account but in your “brain account” first.

    If you’re a first-gen high ready to move beyond just making money and into building something that outlives you, this episode is your blueprint.

    Sep 25 2025

    Risk isn’t just about numbers - it’s about behavior. In this episode of the LEGACY Pregame Podcast, Marcella and Mark break down the critical difference between risk tolerance (your emotional comfort with uncertainty) and risk capacity (your actual ability to withstand it). Drawing on real client stories, behavioral finance research, and their own coaching insights, they reveal why most first-gen wealth builders confuse the two and how that confusion leads to stress, self-sabotage, and missed opportunities.

    Discover how to:

    • Recognize the emotional triggers behind your risk decisions
    • Align your tolerance with your true financial capacity
    • Use the LEGACY Pregame Framework to create resilience, confidence, and peace of mind

    Because risk doesn’t have to derail your wealth - it can become a guardrail that protects your legacy.
