Simmons sits down with Justin Lee—a DMV native, aerospace engineer (Tuskegee University alum), entrepreneur, and filmmaker—who’s building in two worlds at once: national security by day (supporting the Space Force at the Pentagon) and purpose-driven innovation after hours through his company, Quantum Senses.

Justin breaks down what it really takes to balance a demanding 9–5 with entrepreneurship, why his films are rooted in real-life stories and faith, and how he’s turning personal experience into powerful narratives that address mental health, hardship, and perseverance. He also shares behind-the-scenes lessons from producing his first film Turning Point and what leveled up for his second feature, Plight—including the importance of team-building, networking, and scaling a vision with intention.

The conversation closes with an encouraging message for entrepreneurs and creatives: stay focused on purpose, build with faith, and don’t let fear keep you from your calling.

Part 2 | The 7th Cents Podcast Episode 19 - Can She Out-Earn Him & Still Be Loved? Part 2 | The 7th Cents Podcast Featuring: Coach R.L. Simmons, Money Mike (The Green Order), & Yaz Franco

In this unapologetically real episode of the 7th Cents Podcast, hosts Coach R.L. Simmons and Money Mike (The Green Order) welcome powerhouse entrepreneur Yaz Franco for an in-depth, raw conversation about gender roles, money dynamics in relationships, and the ego clash when women earn more than men.

This episode is a cultural gut-check.

💡 Can a man still lead when she makes more?
💡 Do successful women “intimidate” men… or just expose them?
💡 Is your ego keeping you broke — and single?

We’re unpacking the cultural wiring that connects masculinity to money, challenging outdated expectations in dating and marriage, and redefining what real partnership looks like in the age of boss women.

From co-parenting to career elevation, from Crock-Pots to corporate promotion — nothing is off the table.

🧠 Key Topics:

Do women who out-earn men damage male ego?
Why men struggle to “feel needed” in modern relationships
The trap of equating masculinity with income
Flexing vs. protecting your peace: What high-earning women really want
Why true partnerships require ego death, not gender roles
The pressure for women to grow — but not outgrow
Is it still a “man’s job” to provide?
Unity vs. individuality in money, marriage, and mindset
Redefining leadership, provision, and emotional security

💬 Memorable Quotes:

"If you're smart, you'll build a team with people better than you — including a woman."
"You’re not threatened by her money… you’re threatened by your lack of identity."
"Women are allowed to grow, just not to outgrow — and that’s the problem."
"What she eats don’t make you shit — her success doesn’t subtract from yours."

Simmons, Money Mike (The Green Order), & Yaz Franco

In this unapologetically real episode of the 7th Cents Podcast, hosts Coach R.L. Simmons and Money Mike (The Green Order) welcome powerhouse entrepreneur Yaz Franco for an in-depth, raw conversation about gender roles, money dynamics in relationships, and the ego clash when women earn more than men.

This episode is a cultural gut-check.

💡 Can a man still lead when she makes more?
💡 Do successful women “intimidate” men… or just expose them?
💡 Is your ego keeping you broke — and single?

We’re unpacking the cultural wiring that connects masculinity to money, challenging outdated expectations in dating and marriage, and redefining what real partnership looks like in the age of boss women.

From co-parenting to career elevation, from Crock-Pots to corporate promotion — nothing is off the table.

🧠 Key Topics:

Do women who out-earn men damage male ego?
Why men struggle to “feel needed” in modern relationships
The trap of equating masculinity with income
Flexing vs. protecting your peace: What high-earning women really want
Why true partnerships require ego death, not gender roles
The pressure for women to grow — but not outgrow
Is it still a “man’s job” to provide?
Unity vs. individuality in money, marriage, and mindset
Redefining leadership, provision, and emotional security

💬 Memorable Quotes:

"If you're smart, you'll build a team with people better than you — including a woman."

"You’re not threatened by her money… you’re threatened by your lack of identity."

"Women are allowed to grow, just not to outgrow — and that’s the problem."

"What she eats don’t make you shit — her success doesn’t subtract from yours."

Simmons, Money Mike (The Green Order), & Yaz Franco

----

In this episode of the 7th Cents Podcast, Coach R.L. Simmons, Money Mike (The Green Order), and Yaz Franco dig deep into the toxic side of hustle culture — the obsession with working 80+ hours a week, glorifying “the grind,” and wearing burnout like a badge of honor.

💭 Is working hard still the only path to wealth?
💭 Why is rest shamed in our communities?
💭 Is hustle actually a trauma response?
💭 Can you love your family while never seeing them?

This episode isn’t just a callout — it’s a call forward.

We explore how poverty mindsets, generational trauma, and survival-mode mentalities have convinced us that suffering equals success. The truth? Smart money doesn't hustle. It builds.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a working parent, or someone trying to break free from grind addiction, this conversation will challenge your programming, your pride, and your pace.

🔥 Topics Covered:

The truth about hustle culture & glorified burnout
Why hard work ≠ wealth (and what does)
How trauma fuels our obsession with work
Transitioning from grind to build
Time management vs. energy management
Rest is not laziness — it's strategy
Ego, identity, and self-worth beyond the job
Breaking inherited poverty beliefs
How to reprogram your mindset and money habits
Why your kids don’t need a martyr — they need a model

💬 Standout Quotes:

“80 hours a week and still broke? That’s not hustle. That’s trauma in a Gucci belt.” — Yaz Franco
“Grind is not forever. It’s just the first phase of building.” — Money Mike
“If Oprah works 3 hours a day, what are you doing with your 16?” — Coach R.L. Simmons

They dive into the psychological traps, childhood programming, and social pressures that push people to live beyond their means. From maxed-out credit cards to luxury lifestyles built on lies, this episode challenges listeners to ask: Is your flex worth your freedom?

This is more than just a financial conversation — it’s about mindset, self-esteem, and real freedom.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

Flexing is often a cover-up for internal insecurity.

Lifestyle ≠ income — and that mismatch causes stress and debt.

Debt is a modern-day form of slavery.

Childhood influences shape how we spend as adults.

Instant gratification leads to long-term financial pain.

Self-worth should never be based on material status.

The path to freedom starts with self-awareness and financial literacy.

You don’t have to impress people who aren’t paying your bills.
