On this episode of The Jimmy Bonds Podcast, I sit down with CPA Khadija Bingham of Money Honey Financial for a powerful and honest conversation about money, mindset, and building real wealth—especially within our communities. Khadija shares her journey from working in corporate America at Goldman Sachs to stepping out on faith and becoming a full-time entrepreneur. We talk about what it really looks like to bet on yourself, push through fear, and create opportunities when the path isn’t always clear. Her story is one of discipline, faith, and purpose—and it’s filled with lessons that anyone looking to build something of their own can learn from. We also dig into practical topics that matter—tax preparation, small-business resources available right here in Philadelphia, and how everyday people can begin to understand their finances in a way that creates stability and long-term wealth. Khadija breaks things down in a way that makes sense, especially for those who may feel overwhelmed or unsure about where to start. As a Black woman entrepreneur, Khadija speaks openly about ownership, buying property, and creating financial security not just for herself, but for future generations. One of the most powerful messages she shares in this conversation is simple but real: sometimes you have to "do it afraid." Fear is going to show up—but purpose has to be bigger. This conversation is about more than taxes or business—it’s about mindset, courage, and building something that lasts. If you're thinking about starting a business, growing your finances, or just trying to better understand your money, this episode is full of wisdom you don’t want to miss.   Khadija Links  https://www.moneyhoneyfinancial.com/   LinkedIn  https://www.linkedin.com/in/khadija-bingham-cpa-979ab237/   Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/needakhadija/

On this episode of The Jimmy Bonds Podcast, hosts Jimmy Bonds and Lady T sit down with the one and only Antoine Dodson for a real conversation about growth, purpose, and the power of music. Antoine isn’t just a performer — he’s an original, versatile, and unapologetically sincere artist with a journey that continues to evolve in ways people don’t always get to see. We talk about his early beginnings as a child performer, what shaped his love for the stage, and how he’s been able to build a catalog that blends soul, energy, and emotion in a way that’s truly his own. We also dive into what it’s like preparing for live shows, the difference between studio work and performing in front of an audience, songwriting, and what’s next on the horizon — including touring plans and future projects. And of course, we had to tap into the conversation around AI and music, and Antoine keeps it real with his thoughts on where the industry is headed. More than anything, this episode is a reminder to slow down, appreciate the people you love, and say what needs to be said while you still have the chance. Because as Antoine puts it best… love each other, and tell people you care while you can.     🎶 Antoine Dodson Links: Spotify:  Antoine Dodson | Spotify   YouTube:  SOAR | “STORM” Marvel Comics Series Theme Song   IG: https://www.instagram.com/worldofantoine/
