Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Laura Foos.

Interview Overview

Guest: Laura Foos
Host: Rushion McDonald
Show:Money Making Conversations Masterclass
Location: Camp Springs, Maryland (DMV area)
Focus: Entrepreneurship, tax education, real estate ownership, multiple income streams, women in business, and asset‑based thinking

Laura Foos is a serial entrepreneur, accountant, tax professional, property owner, and business educator. In this conversation, she walks through how she built several aligned businesses—from a salon to a tax firm, educational products, and a multi‑use commercial space—while raising her daughter as a single mother and intentionally building wealth through ownership.

Purpose of the Interview

The purpose of the interview is to:
Educate everyday entrepreneurs—especially women and small business owners—on how to use taxes, ownership, and strategy to build sustainable wealth
Demystify entrepreneurship by showing how multiple income streams can grow from practical decisions, not hype
Highlight asset‑based thinking, where liabilities are intentionally offset by income‑producing assets
Inspire single mothers and women entrepreneurs to pursue ownership, funding, and scalability without waiting for permission

Rushion positions Laura as a living example of “walking the walk”—not just talking about business success, but executing it with discipline, planning, and faith.

Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Location, Ownership, and Convenience Matter

Laura intentionally built her life and businesses close together—owning her home of 20 years and purchasing a nearby commercial property—to maximize efficiency and control.
Takeaway: Strategic location and ownership reduce friction and increase long‑term stability.

2. Taxes Are a Growth Tool—Not Just Compliance

As a college‑educated accountant and longtime tax professional, Laura explains that many small business owners are taught to eliminate taxable income entirely, but this limits growth.

She emphasizes the importance of:
Showing income on paper
Planning annually for tax obligations
Using taxes strategically to qualify for loans and asset purchases

Takeaway: You cannot scale—or secure funding—without showing money on paper.

3. Every Liability Should Have an Asset Attached

Laura repeatedly returns to a core principle:

“For every liability that I have, I want to figure out an asset that is going to pay for that.

Examples include:
Rental units inside her home paying the mortgage
Booth rentals covering salon rent
Event space, studios, and meeting rooms generating income to cover the commercial property

Takeaway: Bills are optional when assets are designed correctly.

4. Multiple Streams Came from One Smart Decision

What began as a tax office expanded into:
A podcast studio
Photography studio
Meeting rooms
Event space

Takeaway: One owned asset can support several revenue streams if you design for flexibility.

5. Mentorship and Representation Matter

Laura consciously mentors other women through:
Her Confessions of a Boss Lady Facebook group (400+ women)
Social media education
Direct example

She emphasizes that visibility—“I’m living this”—is key to inspiring others.

6. Teaching Financial Literacy Starts at Home

Laura involved her daughter in entrepreneurship early, helping her launch a bracelet business to fund private school tuition. She taught her:
Customer interaction
Inventory management
Profit allocation
Reinvestment

Takeaway: Wealth habits are taught, not inherited.

7. Smart Delegation Enables Growth

After experiencing burnout and a health scare during the pandemic, Laura learned she could not do everything herself. She expanded her team and invested in automation.

Takeaway: Growth requires letting go—not grinding harder..

8. Faith Replaces Fear

When asked why she isn’t afraid to take big risks, Laura attributes her confidence to faith.

“I have fearless faith… If He put it in front of me, that’s what I’m supposed to try.”

Takeaway: Purpose reduces fear and reframes failure as learning.

Standout Quotes


On asset‑based thinking:

“For every liability that I have, I want an asset that’s going to pay for that.”.


On taxes and growth:

“To grow and expand and purchase things in the business name, we have to start showing something on paper.”.


On entrepreneurship as a single mother:

“One income is not enough.” 


On delegation and health:

“I realized I don’t have to be in it 24 hours a day.”.


On fearlessness:

“If it doesn’t work, I’ll reorganize, learn the lesson, and move on.

Overall Impact

Laura Foos is presented as a grounded, disciplined, and strategic entrepreneur who built wealth through ownership, education, planning, and faith—not shortcuts. The interview reinforces that success is not about one big idea, but about stacking smart decisions over time.

Core message:
Ownership + education + faith + execution = freedom.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed El' Deity Princey. 

📝 Summary of the Interview

El' Deity Princey is a transformational master coach, author, and speaker with a background in social science, neuroscience, and trauma recovery. In this powerful and deeply personal interview, she shares her journey from childhood trauma and dysfunction to becoming a high-achieving coach helping others reprogram their minds, cut toxic ties, and build wealth-driven lives.

“When you cut toxic ties, you thrive.”
Applies to both employees and employers: focus on those who contribute positively to your mission.

El' Deity emphasizes accountability, strategy, and results in her coaching practice.

Her journey from dysfunction and cult-like environments to academic and personal success is a testament to resilience.

6. Manifestation Requires Action
Her concept of “Coagulation Law” emphasizes that belief alone isn’t enough—resources and action are required to manifest goals.
Life is like Monopoly: strategy and movement are key to winning.

7. Empowering Language
Words shape reality. Avoid saying “I’m struggling”—instead, affirm your intelligence and capability.
“Speak life into yourself.”

8. Client Success Stories
She helped a client leave a toxic home, pursue her talents, and attract a supportive partner—demonstrating how mindset shifts lead to real-world success.

9. Accessibility & Services
