- 1:16Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate you being on the show. Appreciate you
- 1:18Speaker 3: being those show. Now tell me being on the show.
- 1:22Speaker 3: You have a family and you got together, and that
- 1:26Speaker 3: is nothing greater I have to assume than to be
- 1:28Speaker 3: in business with your family. Tell us about that.
- 1:31Speaker 4: You're right, nothing greater. It is the greatest accomplishment I
- 1:35Speaker 4: must say of my career, my adult life, my career
- 1:39Speaker 4: to be able to build a legacy, build a business.
- 1:44Speaker 4: And I have to say, this industry is one of
- 1:47Speaker 4: the few industries that you can build up a practice
- 1:51Speaker 4: and turn it over to your children, and you know,
- 1:54Speaker 4: just create a legacy that one day they can then
- 1:58Speaker 4: turn it over to their children. Hope if they can
- 2:01Speaker 4: get one or two interested in being in the financial
- 2:05Speaker 4: services industry.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Well, you know, one of the reasons you know, I
- 2:07Speaker 3: brought you on the show, Sonya, is about that legacy
- 2:11Speaker 3: that you're talking about, that knowledge, that information that you're
- 2:14Speaker 3: talking about that's so important to I feel the Black
- 2:18Speaker 3: community and in conversations because we've talked about this a
- 2:22Speaker 3: lot about blacks, you know with the the you know,
- 2:26Speaker 3: last hired, first fired, or first laid out, you know,
- 2:29Speaker 3: the last to get the information on the housing or
- 2:32Speaker 3: the last to get the information on our economic opportunities
- 2:37Speaker 3: in your world, you're in.
- 2:38Speaker 1: That financial sector.
- 2:40Speaker 3: What is stopping the black community from moving to the
- 2:43Speaker 3: front of the line, or can we move to the
- 2:45Speaker 3: front of the line.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Absolutely we can. All it takes and we know that
- 2:52Speaker 4: is for one of us to get in the door.
- 2:54Speaker 4: And once you're in the door, you know you profit
- 2:57Speaker 4: open and let others through. It's all of about getting
- 3:00Speaker 4: the information about the education. For years decades in this industry,
- 3:07Speaker 4: you see many people that look like you and I
- 3:11Speaker 4: attain immense wealth, and many people that look like you
- 3:17Speaker 4: and I end up losing that wealth. Education to get
- 3:22Speaker 4: the information, that's what keeps you in the door. That's
- 3:27Speaker 4: what helps our community understand that this is an incredible
- 3:34Speaker 4: industry and an incredible way to build a legacy financial education.
- 3:40Speaker 4: And it's out there with Sean. It's not banned or
- 3:47Speaker 4: it's not relegated to the people who have high degrees
- 3:52Speaker 4: and multiple degrees. It's out there for all of us.
- 3:55Speaker 4: This wonderful thing called the Internet makes it more available
- 3:59Speaker 4: to day than it's ever been before. And I dare
- 4:03Speaker 4: say financial advisors in this industry also make it more
- 4:08Speaker 4: available and able to disseminate it to the massive more
- 4:12Speaker 4: than ever before.
- 4:13Speaker 3: Okay, I mentioned the fact that the Fears Group, which
- 4:16Speaker 3: is your last name, Sonia Fears, is ed Morgan Stanley.
- 4:20Speaker 1: How does that work?
- 4:21Speaker 3: So my audience can understand that you built your business
- 4:25Speaker 3: inside of the Morgan Stanley brand.
- 4:29Speaker 4: That's exactly how that works. So I've been doing wealth
- 4:32Speaker 4: management now for seventeen years. I was at mary Lynch
- 4:36Speaker 4: for fifteen At Mary Lynch, my daughter, my oldest daughter,
- 4:41Speaker 4: and I started the very first African American mother daughter
- 4:45Speaker 4: team that Mari Lynch has ever had in its history.
- 4:48Speaker 4: I moved over to Morgan Stanley. I've been with Morgan
- 4:51Speaker 4: Stanley two and a half years now and I now
- 4:55Speaker 4: have two daughters that joined me at Morgan Stanley. It's
- 5:01Speaker 4: you know, it's It wasn't the easiest thing, but again,
- 5:06Speaker 4: I can't say the more enough times I've been blessed
- 5:11Speaker 4: and it's the greatest accomplishment that I've had to date
- 5:15Speaker 4: in my career, So.
- 5:16Speaker 3: How can one get in touch with you?
- 5:19Speaker 1: Call me?
- 5:20Speaker 4: My number is four to seven zero four four nine
- 5:26Speaker 4: zero eight one two and my email sonya so and
- 5:32Speaker 4: I a dot Fears f E A R S at
- 5:38Speaker 4: Morgan Stanley dot com. Call or email me.
- 5:42Speaker 1: I will respond absolutely, thank you.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Does it get into telling people how you how you
- 5:47Speaker 3: w how this business works from financial situation? Now, it
- 5:50Speaker 3: was a couple of programs I want to bring to
- 5:52Speaker 3: everybody's attention that I found out about, and I felt
- 5:54Speaker 3: that these are type of programs that need to be
- 5:56Speaker 3: heard on my show. You have what you call a
- 5:59Speaker 3: preferred savings program over a mortgage Stanley that you oversee
- 6:04Speaker 3: the Fears Group does where your mortgage with the savings
- 6:09Speaker 3: interest rate, which to me, I think is ridiculously low.
- 6:12Speaker 1: That's just my thought.
- 6:14Speaker 3: But you're saying that it can be offered at a
- 6:17Speaker 3: higher interest rate at Morgan Stanley. Can you explain that
- 6:20Speaker 3: to my listeners?
- 6:21Speaker 4: Absolutely? And I dare say that Morgan's Stanley Preferred Savings
- 6:26Speaker 4: program offers one of the highest rate out there for cash.
- 6:31Speaker 4: So in most banking accounts that you have, even your
- 6:36Speaker 4: preferred banking accounts. If it's sitting there in a traditional
- 6:40Speaker 4: banking account and a savings account, you may be earning
- 6:43Speaker 4: point zero five percent on your money, even in high
- 6:46Speaker 4: interest times like this. In our preferred savings program we
- 6:51Speaker 4: pay four point six percent on cash. Your money is safe,
- 6:56Speaker 4: you know.
- 6:57Speaker 1: For there's a lot of excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
- 7:00Speaker 1: You know you did you're.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Dealing with numbers. All you could say something like that.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Maybe you said, you said the going rate is what
- 7:07Speaker 3: out there?
- 7:07Speaker 1: And what is Morgan Stanley offering?
- 7:09Speaker 4: So in your traditional bank account and you know, again
- 7:14Speaker 4: the internet is there, you can google it. You will
- 7:16Speaker 4: get point zero five percent on your savings account in
- 7:22Speaker 4: your bank, your traditional bank and our preferred savings programs
- 7:28Speaker 4: we offer four point six percent on cash right now,
- 7:33Speaker 4: savings account, right now today.
- 7:36Speaker 1: The next question I guess someone who say, how is
- 7:38Speaker 1: that possible?
- 7:40Speaker 4: And that's a great question. Thank you for asking. In
- 7:46Speaker 4: our community, you know, we talk about it all the time,
- 7:49Speaker 4: and you know, people know it and they say it,
- 7:51Speaker 4: but they don't really realize it's real. So the banks
- 7:55Speaker 4: are using your money and it's called overnight sweep. So
- 8:00Speaker 4: most banks are part of the Federal Open Market Commission
- 8:05Speaker 4: and their member banks. Right, so there's an overnight SUITEP
- 8:09Speaker 4: where your money that's deposited is being loaned and the
- 8:13Speaker 4: banks are being paid to lend your money at a
- 8:17Speaker 4: much greater rate than they're paying you.
- 8:21Speaker 5: So if you.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Don't need that daily liquidity, you know, if it's not
- 8:26Speaker 4: in a checking or a savings account, especially a checking
- 8:30Speaker 4: account that you're using that money every day, we suggest
- 8:34Speaker 4: you put it in a savings program. And what we're
- 8:37Speaker 4: hoping is that this is money that you're going to
- 8:39Speaker 4: leave in there. Right, it's available to you at any time,
- 8:45Speaker 4: any minute, any day. But if you leave it in there,
- 8:49Speaker 4: then we are batting that. Okay, it'll benefit us. So
- 8:52Speaker 4: why not give you the benefit that you deserve on
- 8:56Speaker 4: that money, because again, if it's in the bank, they're
- 8:59Speaker 4: going to be using it, whether or not you think
- 9:01Speaker 4: they are, they are fantastic.
- 9:03Speaker 3: I'm talking to son your Fears of the Fears group
- 9:06Speaker 3: within the Morgan Stanley brand. Sonya is one of the
- 9:09Speaker 3: leading financial experts in discussing stocks, savings programs, which he
- 9:13Speaker 3: just discussed right there, Compounded interest portfolios which we will
- 9:18Speaker 3: go to in ad minute, name image and likeness, which
- 9:20Speaker 3: we will discuss later on the show, as well as
- 9:22Speaker 3: lines of credit. I just popped out the big word,
- 9:26Speaker 3: compounded interest.
- 9:27Speaker 1: I hear that a lot. Can you tell my.
- 9:30Speaker 3: Listeners what exactly does compounded interest means? Because that's used
- 9:35Speaker 3: a lot in the stop game in stock market gaming,
- 9:38Speaker 3: especially compounding interest.
- 9:40Speaker 4: So I'm going to first tell you what it is,
- 9:44Speaker 4: and then I'm going to give you an example of
- 9:47Speaker 4: how it works. Right, right, So, compounding interest is, say
- 9:52Speaker 4: you saved one thousand dollars and you're earning ten percent
- 9:56Speaker 4: on one thousand dollars. That's ten percent gets you to
- 10:01Speaker 4: one thousand, one hundred dollars, right. You continue to earn
- 10:06Speaker 4: that ten percent, so you're now earning one thousand, ten
- 10:11Speaker 4: percent on one thousand, one hundred, which gets you to
- 10:14Speaker 4: be one thousand, two hundred and ten dollars. Ten percent
- 10:19Speaker 4: on that one thousand, three hundred and thirty one dollars.
- 10:22Speaker 4: So that's how compounded interest works. Now, for an example,
- 10:28Speaker 4: if you had two people, two people right, twenty years old,
- 10:34Speaker 4: each same.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Age, same age, twenty years, twenty years old each.
- 10:38Speaker 4: Okay, twenty years old. We have a young woman who
- 10:43Speaker 4: she said she can't afford to save for retirement. She
- 10:47Speaker 4: has an apartment, new cars. Starting out is challenging. So
- 10:51Speaker 4: we say, okay, just save two hundred and fifty dollars
- 10:55Speaker 4: a month. That's three thousand dollars a year. And we
- 10:59Speaker 4: talked to her. She's said, okay, I'm gonna do it,
- 11:02Speaker 4: and she saved three thousand dollars a year for ten years,
- 11:06Speaker 4: thirty thousand dollars. We have a young man, Terry and
- 11:09Speaker 4: she stops.
- 11:10Speaker 1: She stops right there. I'm assuming. Okay, at ten years
- 11:13Speaker 1: he stopped.
- 11:13Speaker 4: Stop, he stops. He stopped after ten years.
- 11:16Speaker 1: But he's still compounding though he's still compounding, is still compounding.
- 11:21Speaker 4: It's still compounded. Example I just gave you is doing
- 11:24Speaker 4: that right? And so we have someone else, Terry, you
- 11:29Speaker 4: know he is. He said, I'm gonna wait because i
- 11:32Speaker 4: want to live my best life and I'm going to
- 11:34Speaker 4: buy that brand new car, and I'm going to travel
- 11:37Speaker 4: a little bit, and I'm young, so I'm just gonna
- 11:40Speaker 4: take advantage of you know, going to Dubai. I'm just
- 11:46Speaker 4: so he started saving at thirty years old, and he
- 11:51Speaker 4: did the same thing. He saved two hundred and fifty
- 11:54Speaker 4: dollars a month a year, so three thousand dollars a year,
- 11:58Speaker 4: and instead instead of saving for ten years, he's you know,
- 12:03Speaker 4: he's financially savvy. He understands the market. He's going to
- 12:07Speaker 4: serve save for thirty years, so he does that. So
- 12:12Speaker 4: Terry saves from thirty till he is sixty. They both
- 12:18Speaker 4: retire at sixty five. And the question is at sixty five,
- 12:25Speaker 4: after Terry saved his ninety thousand dollars and Astley saved
- 12:30Speaker 4: her thirty thousand dollars, who has the most money?
- 12:34Speaker 1: Drumroll please please, And.
- 12:39Speaker 4: The answer is, our dear darling, Ashley has the most money?
- 12:46Speaker 1: How much?
- 12:47Speaker 4: At sixty five she has seven hundred and eighteen thousand,
- 12:51Speaker 4: four hundred and seventy three dollars estimated rate of return
- 12:55Speaker 4: nine percent. At sixty five, Terry, who saved twenty thousand dollars,
- 13:01Speaker 4: have four hundred and eighty nine thousand, one hundred eleven
- 13:06Speaker 4: dollars same estimated greater return of nine percent. Wow, she
- 13:10Speaker 4: has almost doubled the money that he had, and he
- 13:14Speaker 4: tripled the amount of money she saved.
- 13:16Speaker 3: Because she started her because she started early, compounded that
- 13:20Speaker 3: team stopped at ten years. He started after her and
- 13:24Speaker 3: did thirty years but his compounding started later and now
- 13:29Speaker 3: she says seven he's at seven hundred thousand, she's at
- 13:31Speaker 3: four hundred thous Again, I'm talking to son you for
- 13:33Speaker 3: a sonye before we go to break. What's your contact
- 13:35Speaker 3: information so we can go to break.

- 14:08Speaker 3: incorrectly treated for her debilitating abdominal pain. This experience inspired

- 15:23Speaker 4: at twenty five years old, bought her first home. She
- 15:28Speaker 4: bought a townhouse. My oldest daughter at twenty seven, she
- 15:34Speaker 4: bought her first home. She is now twenty nine and
- 15:38Speaker 4: just bought her second home. It's about being empowered. It's
- 15:43Speaker 4: about starting and building a legacy, and it's about our
- 15:48Speaker 4: community being able to participate in all the wealth that's
- 15:54Speaker 4: surrounding us. And how do you do that? You have
- 15:57Speaker 4: to be educated that we can do it too, and
- 16:01Speaker 4: how do we do it? Let's talk about it right
- 16:04Speaker 4: you No, let me share the knowledge that I've attained
- 16:08Speaker 4: to help others do the same thing.
- 16:09Speaker 3: Well, we have a caller who wants to hear the knowledge,
- 16:12Speaker 3: Miss Fears.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Please welcome to show.
- 16:14Speaker 3: Jennie Jeannie, I thank you for calling Money Making Conversation Masterclass.
- 16:18Speaker 3: You're speaking to Rasha McDonald and sign your fears from
- 16:21Speaker 3: the Fears group on Morgan Stanley.
- 16:23Speaker 1: What's your question?
- 16:24Speaker 7: First of all, I want to say this is absolutely
- 16:26Speaker 7: a great show today because I've actually been looking for
- 16:30Speaker 7: someplace to actually save money.
- 16:33Speaker 4: So I.
- 16:37Speaker 7: Niece that I'm raising, and she's her money's coming in
- 16:42Speaker 7: that are from you know, her dad, from his social security.
- 16:46Speaker 7: So I want to make sure that she's financially set
- 16:49Speaker 7: up in a really good way. And she's fourteen right now,
- 16:55Speaker 7: and it's about let's say, about maybe sixty eight hundred dollars.
- 17:00Speaker 7: What would be the best way to save would it
- 17:04Speaker 7: be to put it in the compound interest or the
- 17:06Speaker 7: savings account? But four point six is like amazing because
- 17:10Speaker 7: everything I've been finding has been online has been you know,
- 17:14Speaker 7: definitely less than that.
- 17:16Speaker 4: But what would be.
- 17:16Speaker 7: The best way? So when she does get out of
- 17:19Speaker 7: high school or and she you know, wants to go
- 17:22Speaker 7: to school or whatever, that she has those money for her.
- 17:27Speaker 4: Oh, that's incredible. One. I'm really really super excited that
- 17:32Speaker 4: at fourteen your thing, you're thinking about it for her
- 17:36Speaker 4: and she wants to save because again compound and interest.
- 17:41Speaker 4: If she saved now, she has four years to college,
- 17:45Speaker 4: so we could start. I'd rather her start earlier for
- 17:50Speaker 4: five to twenty nine plan, but a five to twenty
- 17:52Speaker 4: nine plan in which you can save for college and
- 17:56Speaker 4: what a lot of people don't know these days, a
- 17:58Speaker 4: five to twenty nine plan with the new secure at
- 18:02Speaker 4: two point zho. If your child is brilliant, which we
- 18:07Speaker 4: know of many of our children are. They get scholarships
- 18:10Speaker 4: and they have money in a five to twenty nine plan,
- 18:13Speaker 4: which is a college savings plan, and they don't use it.
- 18:17Speaker 4: This is an opportunity to roll that money into a
- 18:21Speaker 4: roth ira. With a roth ira, that money you put
- 18:27Speaker 4: six hundred dollars in there. We just gave the example
- 18:30Speaker 4: of two hundred and fifty dollars a month for ten years.
- 18:34Speaker 4: You start with the six hundred dollars, you add one
- 18:37Speaker 4: hundred dollars to it, you get to one thousand dollars
- 18:40Speaker 4: for the year or whatever you want to get to.
- 18:42Speaker 4: But that thousand dollars will grow free until she retires
- 18:49Speaker 4: if it is turned over into a roth ira, And
- 18:52Speaker 4: that's the beautier for roth ira. Again. If thirty thousand
- 18:56Speaker 4: dollars is going to grow to be seven hundred thousand approximately, right,
- 19:03Speaker 4: that's six hundred and seventy thousand dollars that you would
- 19:07Speaker 4: not pay taxes on if that money was sitting in
- 19:09Speaker 4: a roth irs. Wow, now that's a powerful.
- 19:12Speaker 7: So yeah, So if we just say one thousand dollars
- 19:16Speaker 7: in the rough iron eight, just sit it there until
- 19:20Speaker 7: she's at retirement age. So what about say we set
- 19:25Speaker 7: one thousand dollars there and then what one hundred place else?
- 19:32Speaker 3: Hey, Genie, Genie, Genie, you're breaking up? Can you give
- 19:36Speaker 3: her your number so she can call you at the office? Sonya,
- 19:40Speaker 3: because the genie's checking up.
- 19:42Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's four to seven zero four four nine zero
- 19:47Speaker 4: eight one two. Please call me Genie. But okay, start
- 19:52Speaker 4: with the five twenty nine plan again because that's saving
- 19:55Speaker 4: for college. And if she doesn't use it, then we
- 19:59Speaker 4: would convert it to say a roth ira. But there
- 20:02Speaker 4: are many options. Would love to discuss them with you.
- 20:04Speaker 3: Yes, thank you Jenie for calling and really, you know,
- 20:07Speaker 3: I always tell people knowledges everything. If you if you're
- 20:10Speaker 3: quiet about this information we're trying to give you on
- 20:13Speaker 3: this show. Every week I'm trying to bring guests on.
- 20:15Speaker 3: I'm not trying. I am bringing guests on that I
- 20:18Speaker 3: believe can change your life, put you in a position
- 20:20Speaker 3: where you can have a better life. That's what we're
- 20:22Speaker 3: doing today with this interview. We're doing this interview. She's
- 20:26Speaker 3: reputable for Morgan Stanle, you know who they are, and
- 20:29Speaker 3: she had built with her daughters a business within that
- 20:33Speaker 3: of respected business within that and that's what we're talking about.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Her knowledge being transferred to you because if someone calls you,
- 20:40Speaker 3: you're not charging the love for you are your son you.
- 20:42Speaker 1: This is let.
- 20:43Speaker 4: Absolutely not okay, I'm not I will call to anyone
- 20:48Speaker 4: for an hour, two hours, whatever you need because I
- 20:52Speaker 4: want the information to get out there. We need to
- 20:55Speaker 4: be educated financially on how to set ourselves up for success,
- 21:00Speaker 4: to leave a legacy, how to set an example for
- 21:03Speaker 4: our children.
- 21:03Speaker 3: Right cool, listen, I have one thing before before you
- 21:06Speaker 3: get out of here. I wanted to talk about something
- 21:08Speaker 3: that is dancing out there A lot.
- 21:10Speaker 1: In the athletic world. And we have a lot of
- 21:13Speaker 1: called listeners.
- 21:13Speaker 3: I know who may have a nephew, maybe their own child,
- 21:17Speaker 3: a grandchild who in the world of sports, name, image
- 21:22Speaker 3: and likeness. They call it NIL for short, where young
- 21:25Speaker 3: men coming out of high school can now get get
- 21:28Speaker 3: sponsorship dollars, whether it's from major Fortune five hundred companies
- 21:32Speaker 3: or local businesses.
- 21:33Speaker 1: And make money.
- 21:34Speaker 3: You guys in your organization, the Fears Group, you guys
- 21:37Speaker 3: are in the NIL game.
- 21:38Speaker 4: Correct, Yes, we are so. I'm a global sports and
- 21:43Speaker 4: Entertainment director with Morgan Stanley have a lot of clients
- 21:47Speaker 4: in the sports and entertainment sector along with other sectors,
- 21:52Speaker 4: and with the NIL A few things that's really important.
- 21:56Speaker 4: These are young men and women middle school, high school
- 22:02Speaker 4: that are now being offered a great deal of money, right,
- 22:08Speaker 4: and so a few things that they need to know.
- 22:11Speaker 4: This money that they're getting can help fund their vision,
- 22:15Speaker 4: family vision, can help start a business even at that age,
- 22:20Speaker 4: can start saving so that they can have that compounding
- 22:25Speaker 4: interest when they get older. Because again, some of them
- 22:30Speaker 4: will make it to be in the NFL or NBA,
- 22:36Speaker 4: or even to drive for NASCAR, but many most will
- 22:42Speaker 4: not because the percentage of athletes that truly make it
- 22:47Speaker 4: to be professionals are very very small. A lot of people,
- 22:51Speaker 4: a lot of people don't realize that. And so these
- 22:54Speaker 4: young men and women, they have an opportunity to capture
- 22:58Speaker 4: that wealth out and use it. But again they need
- 23:03Speaker 4: to be educated and their families need to be educated
- 23:07Speaker 4: to make sure that they hold on to the swellth
- 23:10Speaker 4: and not getting into contract that is not really profitable
- 23:16Speaker 4: more beneficial for them.
- 23:17Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're under the Fears group at Morgan Stanley.
- 23:20Speaker 3: You provide financial education reading here, financial education for the athlete,
- 23:24Speaker 3: provide financial education for the family, and then educate them
- 23:27Speaker 3: both about the nil opportunities exactly.
- 23:31Speaker 4: That's exactly what we do.
- 23:32Speaker 3: Let's se that I'm a little inside information about when
- 23:35Speaker 3: you're when when young people are offered scholarships to attend
- 23:38Speaker 3: college for their athletic skills, a scholarship is only it.
- 23:42Speaker 1: May say it seems like it's four years, but it's not.
- 23:45Speaker 3: It's a one year scholarship and every year they renew it.
- 23:49Speaker 3: So you can get a scholarship to go to University
- 23:52Speaker 3: of Georgia or Alabama. That doesn't mean that doesn't say
- 23:56Speaker 3: that you will be there for four years under a
- 23:58Speaker 3: scholarship is at the option of the school. They can
- 24:01Speaker 3: take that scholarship away from you, they can renew it.
- 24:04Speaker 3: So the NIL program is put in place to help
- 24:07Speaker 3: young men and women to be able to earn income.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Just in case that does happen, or it doesn't happen,
- 24:13Speaker 3: you still in a position to work with a reputable company.
