David Banner on Losing $12M for Black Ac...

EYL NETWORK
About this episode

This week on Earn Your Leisure, we sit down with the legendary David Banner for one of the most raw, thought-provoking, and inspiring conversations we’ve ever had.


From building a studio in his van while homeless to negotiating Gatorade deals and launching a three-state distribution network, Banner breaks down his journey from Mississippi to mogul. He opens up about writing his first contract, navigating taxes, battling depression, and losing millions as an activist — all while staying true to his vision and purpose.


We also dive deep into race, culture, and responsibility. From comparing the music industry to the plantation system, to his controversial views on integration, to the influence of modern music on our communities — this episode is a masterclass in business, leadership, and self-awareness. Plus, we hear powerful moments about fatherhood, faith, and the high cost of being a visionary.
