    I am so glad I found Bevel, years ago before the product was able to be purchased in stores such as Target. So, I like to think I was there from the beginning when you could only get the shaving products online. Thanks Tristan, for your vision for black men shaving innovations, now I am using other Bevel products as well (also great customer service)

    Life is funny. So first, it’s important to know I am rich. I as a millionaire when I met Tristan in Silicon Valley. I am a Black Male. Uber had just launched and I decided to drive to meet people. Only well educated business executives trusted Uber early on. Tristan was at FourSquare. He got in my Prius and was hesitant about talking assuming I was a poor Black Uber driver. I started a conversation and he said I am going to visit a school for my kid. My kids are highly gifted and I knew a lot about schools. He didn’t ask if I knew about schools and we arrived at our destination. Later I read he thought the Silicon Valley was racist and he moved to Atlanta per the advice of VC firm Andreessen Horowitz. He is correct that ideas are share by skin color here but he missed the lesson that older means information and wisdom.

    I am new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks. I believe having 75K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities

      Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should've known that by now, nothing beats experience and that's final, personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again
