Welcome to another episode of Decoding40.

The crew starts off with the Check-In touching on topics including Vin taking some time off from work; Mack’s baby girl is finally home and his journey of sleepless nights has begun;  L is dealing with fatherhood in the cyber age, and Rick gets ready for his upcoming colonoscopy.  

Next, we address the failed coup by Vanilla Isis/Al Cracker across the country. The Trumptards attempted an insurrection on the Capitol building with the intent of stopping the U.S. Congress from certifying the 2020 election. Fortunately for us, they were unsuccessful, but what does this mean for a country still unable to deal with white extremists.  

For the interview, we welcome A. Donahue Baker, a Grammy-nominated producer turned financial and real estate guru.   Mr. Baker has over 20 years of experience and owns over 500 various properties.  If that’s not enough, he is opening up a bank to help create new Black entrepreneurs and generational wealth.
