Tonight’s episode of the Inner Circle Podcast was powerful, heartfelt, and eye-opening. Abe and Ms. B took listeners on a reflective journey into legacy — not the material things we leave behind, but the values, memories, wisdom, and impact that truly outlive us.
Drawing from their lived immigrant experiences, they explored what it really means to build a life that echoes beyond our years. Ms. B shared how, as she grows older, time and quality moments with family and friends have become her greatest treasures. Abe expanded the conversation with insights from David Brooks’ The Road to Character and Steve Jobs’ emotional reflections near his final days, reminding us that success without depth is an empty pursuit.
Together, they unpacked key elements of legacy:
• the gift of time and presence
• the lessons we pass to our children
• financial responsibility through planning, insurance & savings
• emotional and cultural inheritance
• preparing for the unexpected
• and choosing purpose over materialism
This was an inspiring, enlightening segment meant to help every immigrant rethink what it means to live a meaningful life. Legacy is not defined by what we own — but by who we become and how we prepare the next generation to rise higher than us.

Tonight on the Inner Circle Podcast, Abe and his Wednesday business co-host Ms. B delivered a powerful and thought-provoking conversation around one of the most talked-about ideas in America right now — President Trump’s proposed 50-year mortgage.
We kicked off the show with breaking news on Congress voting to reopen the federal government, and then dove straight into the heart of the housing crisis. Even as a real estate investor, Ms. B didn’t hold back — she made it clear that stretching mortgages across half a century is not the solution to America’s affordability challenges. Abe shared his own bold and unapologetic perspective: the American Dream of homeownership is becoming a financial illusion, and many families may be better off renting and investing in real assets instead of becoming lifelong mortgage holders.
Together, Abe and Ms. B unpacked the deeper forces behind today’s affordability crisis — Ms. B pointing to unchecked capitalism, Abe stressing that socialism will not fix the market either. The result was a dynamic, engaging, and eye-opening debate that challenged listeners to rethink everything they’ve been taught about owning a home, building wealth, and achieving financial freedom in America.
This episode is educational, honest, and inspiring — a must-listen for anyone navigating the realities of housing, affordability, and economic uncertainty in 2025.

On this special Veterans Day edition of the Inner Circle Podcast, host Abe Kamara is joined by his Tuesday co-host Peterson from the Windy City of Chicago for a powerful tribute to the brave men and women who have served—and continue to serve—our nation in uniform. Together, they uplift the voices of veterans, especially those from immigrant backgrounds, and reflect on the courage, discipline, and sacrifice that define military service.
A touching moment came from the audience when a listener shared that her son has been serving in the U.S. Marine Corps for 18 years and is currently stationed in Japan. The hosts used this moment to call on the broader community to not only celebrate veterans on this day—but to honor them every single day, and to advocate for stronger reintegration and support systems.
This episode is a heartfelt salute to service, sacrifice, and the immigrant story in uniform.
Tonight’s episode of the Inner Circle Podcast was nothing short of inspiring. Host Abe Kamara sat down with Bernice Cooper, 2026 Brooklyn Park City Council candidate for the West District, whose campaign slogan — “Now is the Time” — captures the urgency, courage, and conviction behind her journey into public service.
Bernice shared her passion for civic engagement, community unity, and inclusive leadership. She spoke about running to serve all residents of Brooklyn Park — not just one group or community — and emphasized how civic participation empowers both individuals and businesses to shape a stronger, more connected city.
This conversation reminded us why local leadership matters and perfectly embodied what the Inner Circle Podcast stands for: to Amplify, Empower, and Elevate voices driving real change in our communities.
A powerful dialogue filled with hope, vision, and purpose — truly an interview for the ages.
Tonight’s Inner Circle Podcast with Abe Kamara and co-host Ms. B began with a powerful reflection on Election Night 2025, celebrating the historic victories of immigrant candidates across the U.S. — from major wins in New York to inspiring local results right here in St. Paul. The conversation highlighted the growing political influence and pride within immigrant communities nationwide.
In the second half, the duo shifted into the night’s main topic — “The Gift Economy: Experiences vs. Material Gifts.” Together, they unpacked how holiday giving is evolving, why memories often matter more than merchandise, and how families and small businesses can celebrate meaningfully without financial stress.
A thought-provoking and uplifting episode blending civic pride, culture, and the spirit of giving.
Tonight’s episode was a powerful reminder that your circle is your destiny. Abe and co-host Peterson delivered an inspiring conversation filled with wisdom, intentional encouragement, and a call for unity in the immigrant community.
We explored why success is rarely a solo journey, and why the people around you can accelerate your purpose — or slow your growth. Peterson broke down the importance of treating life’s hurdles like strategy, emphasizing that true progress happens together, not alone. In a world where many immigrants feel they must compete in silence, we challenged that mindset and encouraged our community to stop hoarding knowledge, collaborate, and build together.
Abe highlighted the difference between purpose friends and comfort friends, and why choosing the right voices around you is essential. From referencing Ivy League networks like Harvard and Yale to discussing shared responsibility, cultural uplift, and intentional connection — tonight was a celebration of collective progress.
This episode served as a bold reminder: Your circle matters. Your network is your net worth. And when we empower each other, we elevate together.
Tune in, share with a friend who lifts you higher, and remember — we go farther when we rise as a community.

Tonight's Social Friday was pure heat — laughter, passion, truth-talk, and plenty of friendly fire in the comment section!
Winn hosted a powerful and unfiltered discussion on a real-life topic:
“Why do some women struggle to support each other?”
And tonight, I hopped in as a guest panelist — and let’s just say the room got spicy fast!
I came in swinging with my take that emotions and internal competition sometimes get in the way, but Winn and special guest panelist Edrence weren’t having it! They pushed back with powerful insights about healing, sisterhood, and the importance of women uplifting one another.
Edrence dropped a gem:
“Women need to sit with winning women to heal internally.”
Winn reminded us that many women do support each other — and sometimes what looks like negativity is really unhealed pain and past hurt.
The audience?
Comment section was ON FIRE!
Y’all voted… and the ladies say I took an L tonight
(But hey — every debate needs a little smoke and a little growth!)
This was one of our most engaging, energetic, and insightful socials yet — full of laughter, real talk, and perspective-shifting moments. A true reminder that community conversations bring healing, clarity, and connection.

Tonight’s episode was spooky, sweet, and soul-stirring.
Ms. B and I had mad fun diving into the history of Halloween — from ancient traditions to today’s costumes, candy missions, and kids proudly knocking door-to-door showing off who they want to be for a night. We talked characters, childhood memories, and the magic of imagination — and Ms. B even encouraged the fam to check out haunted houses and Halloween events right here in Minnesota and across the country. Did you know Anoka, Minnesota is called the Halloween Capital of the World?
From Halloween treats to time shifts, we rolled right into Daylight Saving Time — falling back this Sunday at 2 AM. Ms. B isn’t a fan, and I don’t really mind it — but hey, who’s turning down an extra hour of sleep?
Then the tone shifted as we tackled real-life reality: SNAP benefits ending this Saturday, November 1, and the staggering truth that 42 million Americans rely on food assistance in the richest country on earth. A number that stopped us cold. Ms. B pointed to policy — or the lack of it — and we reflected on community, dignity, and the work still ahead.
It was the perfect Inner Circle mix — fun, laughter, culture, and real conversation that matters.
Tap into this high-energy, heartfelt episode filled with spooky vibes, sweet moments, and serious truths.

Tonight’s business segment was packed with value as Abe and Ms. B broke down the importance of truly understanding your target market and staying intentionally connected to them. Abe emphasized that it all begins with the foundation — a clear business plan, a marketing plan, and a deep understanding of your why and purpose. When you know why you exist and who you serve, identifying your ideal customer becomes natural and your execution becomes focused.
Ms. B highlighted a key reality in our community: many of us are solopreneurs, and while that comes with passion and hustle, it also brings pressure. Her powerful message was that entrepreneurs can — and should — leverage AI tools to scale, create systems, and avoid burnout while staying meaningfully connected to their audience.
This was an engaging, practical, and empowering conversation filled with gems for both aspiring entrepreneurs and established business owners. A must-listen for anyone serious about building smarter, serving better, and growing stronger.

Tonight’s episode was a somber yet deeply necessary conversation about the growing wave of corporate layoffs across America. Abe Kamara was joined in studio by Ms. B and Peterson from the Windy City of Chicago for an eye-opening discussion on the real-world consequences behind the headlines — families struggling to afford mortgages and rent, nonprofits stretched beyond capacity, and the growing fear that AI-driven innovations are leaving real people behind.
Together, we explored what survival looks like when job loss becomes the new normal — and how empathy, community, and resilience must lead the way. This episode reminds us that while corporations may cut costs, our humanity cannot be downsized.

The energy was high and the laughter was nonstop on tonight’s Inner Circle Podcast! Abe Kamara was joined by Hansford Dennis — member of the organizing committee, Alfred Layee — Interim Vice President, and our very own Taylor-Made from the Inner Circle panel, for a lively conversation all about the upcoming Hawkeye Oldtimers End of Summer Event in Des Moines, Iowa!

This week’s Inner Circle Podcast business segment was one of our best yet! Host Abe Kamara sat down with his former Totino-Grace classmate, Pat Rehkamp, now Senior Financial Writer at 1834, the high-net-worth wealth management division of Old National Bank.
In this deeply insightful and practical conversation, Pat shared timeless financial wisdom for families and everyday professionals alike. From the importance of budgeting, saving, and tracking your net worth, to understanding the real forces shaping today’s economy, this episode offers lessons everyone can apply.
One of Pat’s most memorable gems? He and his wife hold monthly “money dates” — intentional check-ins about their finances, goals, and plans. It’s a simple yet powerful practice that couples, especially in immigrant families, can learn from and emulate.
The two also dove into timely topics like why mortgage rates may remain elevated, how the current unemployment rate may be misleading due to the government shutdown, and how consistent planning, communication, and financial discipline are the real keys to building generational wealth.
This episode is authentic, educational, and packed with real-world value — a must-listen for anyone ready to take control of their financial story.

In this eye-opening and thought-provoking episode, Abe and his co-host Peterson dive deep into The Oversharing Epidemic — a modern-day phenomenon where people share more than ever but feel lonelier than ever.
From social media confessions to public displays of private struggles, the hosts explore how oversharing has quietly reshaped relationships, mental health, and the meaning of connection in the digital age. Despite a world of eight billion people, genuine intimacy is fading behind screens.
One audience member chimed in with a powerful perspective that added depth and realness to the conversation, making the dialogue even richer. Together, Abe and Peterson emphasized the importance of finding balance — because, as with everything in life, too much of anything can become unhealthy.
An inspiring, informative, and awareness-driven episode reminding us that protecting our peace begins with protecting our privacy.
Tune in, laugh out loud, and join the chaos — because when Winn & Patience hit the mic, Friday nights will never be the same.

This episode features a powerful and eye-opening conversation with former DFL candidate Erickson Saye, who joins Abe Kamara for a candid discussion about lessons learned from his recent campaign and what it truly takes to win in today’s political climate.
Erickson reflects on the hard truths of running for office — from the critical role money plays in campaigns to the reality that too many in our immigrant community remain on the sidelines. As he puts it, “If you don’t mess with politics, politics messes with you.”
Together, they explore why political participation is essential, how the major parties are missing the mark in engaging immigrant voters, and why local politics is where real change begins. This engaging and thought-provoking episode is both a wake-up call and a call to action — reminding every immigrant that our vote, our voice, and our civic power matter more than ever.
Tune in, get inspired, and let’s build the future together.
Tonight’s Business Wednesday episode of the Inner Circle Podcast was both inspiring and eye-opening as Abe Kamara and Ms. B explored the fast-evolving world of Artificial Intelligence — from its promise to its pitfalls.
Abe argued that AI has tremendous potential to help small businesses grow, streamline operations, and compete on a bigger stage, while Ms. B brought a critical lens — warning that technology could also displace workers, widen inequality, and change the job market forever.
The two dug into powerful examples of modern AI tools — ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, and more. Abe proudly called ChatGPT his favorite, joking that it’s “100 times smarter” than him and like “Google on steroids.” The friendly back-and-forth brought laughter, insight, and genuine curiosity as both hosts reflected on how technology is reshaping the business landscape.
This episode blended business, finance, and future-thinking — encouraging small businesses and entrepreneurs to embrace innovation without fear. Abe and Ms. B closed with a clear message: AI is the future, and no one should be left behind.
Tune in for a fun, intelligent, and forward-looking discussion that challenges, informs, and inspires.
Tonight’s episode of the Inner Circle Podcast was nothing short of fire. Abe Kamara and his co-host Peterson from the Windy City of Chicago went all in on the truth about America’s insurance industry — from auto and health to homeowners and beyond.
Together, they unpacked how insurance companies have mastered the art of collecting premiums but dodging payouts, all while raking in billions in profit. Peterson spoke truth to power about how the system is rigged — where politicians are in the pockets of the very corporations meant to protect us, and where profit always comes before people.
Abe shed light on the skyrocketing cost of homeowners insurance in states like California and Florida, while Peterson compared it to Canada’s single-payer model — a system built on care, not capitalism.
This episode wasn’t just talk — it was lived experience, raw honesty, and a wake-up call for every working family paying into a broken system.
Tune in, think deeply, and ask yourself — are we being protected, or just played?
