About this listen

In this powerful episode of Rolo Runs The City, we dive deep into the mindset that keeps many people trapped in generational poverty not just financially, but mentally, physically, and spiritually.


"The Poor Admire Material Riches" unpacks the dangerous trade off that often occurs in underserved communities: chasing material possessions while neglecting the God-given blessings that truly matter a healthy spirit, a sharp mind, and a strong body.


Rolo shares a raw, personal reflection on how this mindset contributed to the decline of his own mother’s health, and why this pattern continues to repeat itself in communities that are conditioned to prioritize what they lack over what they already possess.


🔍 We explore:


Why people in poverty often become lifelong customers of Big Pharma


How poor health is normalized in underserved communities


The statistical odds of escaping poverty through education and professional careers (not fame or sports)


The spiritual, mental, and physical wealth that many overlook


Real examples of people who broke the cycle and how they did it


This episode is not about blaming it’s about awareness, empowerment, and real solutions. Whether you're from the bottom or fighting your way out, this message is for you.
