    Joining “New Money” hosts Spencer Dinwiddie and Solo Ceesay are OG reality stars Gabrielle Victor and Danielle Victor, better known as the “Victor Twins.” The twins have successfully monetized their life since their rise to popularity while on reality show “Bad Girls.” They’ve worked to be their genuine selves while posting to social media, and their fans love the authenticity that comes with their content. Even better, the two have found a way to monetize their personalities and daily lives through social media.

    Though social media offers a legitimate career path for many creators today, they are still bound to the structure and income that platforms offer.

  • New Technology and How It’s Impacting Sports
    Mar 23 2022

    “You don’t need to be all the way into crypto, but you do need to know that crypto is here to stay.”

    In this episode of “New Money” with hosts Spencer Dinwiddie and Solo Ceesay, sports and big tech collide. The hosts are joined by former WNBA player Imani McGee-Stafford, linebacker Foye Oluokun of the Atlanta Falcons and Renee Montgomery, retired WNBA player and co-owner of the Atlanta Dream. 

    The guests discuss the importance of learning about the financial pathways for professional athletes. More and more, investing in crypto is being discussed in the locker rooms and on the field as an opportunity for athletes to build their wealth during and after their sports careers.

    Lastly, the guests consider the rise of NFTs and many ways athletes can take advantage of this new technology. As the barrier to entry for NFT creation lowers, a larger swath of athletes will be able to memorialize their personal brand and top moments in their sport careers.

    Mar 16 2022

    “The sooner you hop on, the better,” Biddl3 says.

    In this episode of “New Money,” hosts Spencer Dinwiddie and Solo Ceesay are joined by recording artists Biddl3, actress GG Townson and producer Carey. The three explain their corners of the entertainment world, contributing their unique views on the challenges of the industry. 

    The guests see social media as a powerful tool to advance their careers and reach worldwide audiences. They aren’t afraid of new technologies, either: Biddl3 believes that those who “are ahead of the curve, or are quick to adapt, are the ones who succeed” when it comes to the rapidly advancing tech of communication in the modern era of social media.

    If these three recognize the utility and power of social media for their professions, will they be equally accepting of the advancements that crypto and blockchain technology can provide to fan-creator relationships?
