Changing Stereotypes: African American man partners with eight Japanese, organic tea-growing families in Kyushu, Japan.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed James Green.

Purpose of the Interview

The interview aimed to showcase James Green’s entrepreneurial journey as the founder of KyuTeaCo (Kyushu Tea Company), a premium tea brand focused on curating authentic Japanese tea experiences.

    • His passion for tea began during a high school exchange program in Fukuoka, Japan, and deepened through cultural immersion.

  2. Business Model

    • KyuTeaCo  partners with eight small, organic tea-growing families in Kyushu, Japan.
    • Direct-to-consumer and B2B approach: e-commerce platform launching soon, plus partnerships with cafes.

  3. Mission & Differentiation

    • Focus on storytelling and cultural connection, not just selling tea.
    • Educates consumers on tea’s health benefits (e.g., reducing hypertension and diabetes risks).

    • Kickstarter campaign failed due to lack of collaborators and marketing reach.
    • Learned importance of storytelling and emotional connection for crowdfunding success.

  5. Social Impact

    • “11% for Good” Program: 11% of every sale goes to sustainability efforts for Japanese tea farming.
    • Name significance: “11” in Japanese sounds like “ii,” meaning “good.”

  6. Future Plans

    • Launching e-commerce in January.
    • Exploring subscription models and virtual tea tastings.
    • Goal: Build a brand that consumers care about through cultural education and premium experiences.

Notable Quotes

  • On launching a business:
    “I’m learning now more than anything, just launch it. Just go. You’ll build it brick by brick, day by day.”

  • On cultural connection:
    “We’re not just selling tea; we’re telling the stories of Kyushu and these families. It’s about legacy and sustainability.”

  • On social impact:
    “Every bag of tea someone buys, 11% goes toward rehabilitating the Japanese tea industry. We’re investing in their futures.”

  • On entrepreneurship:
    “Anybody can sell a product. What we’re doing is creating an experience and educating people about the culture behind it.”

Financial Tip: He educates aspiring millionaires—on financial planning, wealth management, and risk mitigation strategies.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Mark Mascarenhas.

Purpose of the Interview

The interview aims to educate listeners—especially entrepreneurs, small business owners, and aspiring millionaires—on financial planning, wealth management, and risk mitigation strategies. It emphasizes the importance of discipline, clarity, and professional guidance in achieving financial success and sustaining wealth across generations.

Key Takeaways

  1. Financial Planning is Foundational

    • A written financial plan is the first step before any investment portfolio is built.
    • Success is defined individually—financial, health, or lifestyle goals.

  2. Diversification & Risk Management

    • Digital assets like Bitcoin should only make up 2–3% of a portfolio for high-net-worth clients with high risk tolerance.
    • Fear and greed drive markets; advisors help clients maintain discipline.

  3. Long-Term Care & Insurance

    • Planning for long-term care is essential, typically starting in your 50s.
    • Term life insurance early locks in health; whole life policies provide stability and living benefits.

  4. Tax Strategy

    • Use tax-loss harvesting, asset location strategies, and estate planning to minimize tax burdens.
    • Estate planning focuses on transferring wealth tax-efficiently to future generations.

  5. Millionaire Mindset

    • Millionaires are clear, disciplined, optimistic, and collaborative.
    • 74% of millionaires work with financial advisors vs. 34% of the general population.

  6. Power of Compounding

    • Compounding interest is the cornerstone of wealth accumulation—requires patience and discipline.
    • Avoid lifestyle creep and impulsive spending, especially for younger millionaires and influencers.

  7. Fiduciary Responsibility

    • Advisors act in the client’s best interest; success is mutual.
    • Trust and transparency are critical in client-advisor relationships.

Notable Quotes

  • On Risk & Bitcoin:
    “You could potentially double your money, but you could also potentially lose 70% of it.”

  • On Financial Planning:
    “Every dollar needs a job description.”

  • On Millionaire Mindset:
    “Successful people view us as CFOs—they’re the CEOs.”

  • On Compounding:
    “If you could win 72% of the time, would you play that game? Yes. That’s the stock market.”

  • On Retirement Success:
    “Living the same or better lifestyle in retirement than you do today while working.”

  • On Fiduciary Role:
    “We make more money when the client makes more money.”

*   **On her pivot:**  
    *“I started generating AI twins for business owners so they could show up online without showing up.”*
