Tired of hearing about the wealthy skirting taxes? 😤

You can use the same tax code to your advantage!

Sharif J. Small says-

“Don't just complain, get in the game” and start making your money work for you! 💪💰

Let’s empower each other!

Most people are taught how to make money. Far fewer are taught how to keep it, grow it, and turn it into lasting wealth.

Today on Lucas Live, I’m sitting down with Sharif J. Small, a Real Estate Tax Accountant and M&A Advisor, for a conversation about his story, the lessons he has learned along the way, and the financial knowledge more people need access to.

We’re talking about the wealth gap, but not just pointing at the problem. We’re talking about what individuals, entrepreneurs, and business owners can actually do about it.

Sharif will break down how taxes, cash flow, business ownership, real estate, acquisitions, and smarter financial decisions can work together to build wealth. We’ll also get into the mistakes that can quietly hold people back and why earning more money does not automatically mean you are building wealth.

This is also about Sharif’s journey. How did he develop his expertise? What has he seen successful people do differently? And what does he wish more people understood before they started making serious money?

If you want to build a stronger business, make smarter moves with your money, acquire assets, or better understand how wealth is actually created and protected, this conversation is for you.

The wealth gap is real. We can close it.

What does it look like to build a legacy when there’s no road, no map, and no path already laid out for you?

On this episode of Lucas Live, I sit down with Dr. Lisa Anthony, Founder & CEO, for a conversation about her journey, leadership, 9 years in NFL leadership, youth development, and the experiences that have shaped the woman she is today.

Dr. Anthony brings a unique connection to the world of football, but this conversation goes beyond the game. We’re talking about forging through journeys with no road or path the exact theme she brings to this conversation.

We’ll also talk about her connection to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, what that sisterhood has meant in her life, and how her experiences across leadership, football, and youth-focused work intersect.

Football. Leadership. Legacy.
Alpha Kappa Alpha.
And a journey worth hearing.

Join the conversation LIVE on Lucas Live.

What health issues should Stark County families be paying attention to right now? And when it comes to our kids’ mental and behavioral health, how do we get them support before they reach a crisis?

This morning on Lucas Live, I’m talking with two local leaders working on those questions every day.

Amanda Archer, Health Commissioner for Canton City Public Health, joins us to talk about what’s happening in public health right now — including emerging health concerns, air quality, measles, the Cyclospora outbreak, data centers, and the services available to our community.

Melissa Coultas, CEO of Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health, will share how the organization has served Stark County for more than 50 years and how mental-health services are evolving for children, young adults and families. Most importantly, we’ll talk about why families don’t have to wait for a crisis to ask for help.

These are the kinds of conversations that can give you information you didn’t know you needed — until you need it.
