]]> Colture Media LLC info@fuckyoumoneyfor.me Make Sure to Stay at the Table On the FYM Show, Yoh and Ty break down Drake’s surprise three-album release and the growing speculation around “Iceman,” independence, and the future of the music industry. The episode explores Drake’s comments about wanting freedom from his label, theories that the “I” in Iceman stands for independent, and what a potential independent Drake era could mean for artists, record labels, streaming platforms, and music business strategy. They compare Drake’s rollout to industry-changing moves by artists like Frank Ocean and Usher, discuss whether multi-project surprise drops can still dominate streaming culture, and debate if fans will view the trilogy as artistic expression or a calculated business play. Yo and Ty also examine Drake’s viral marketing tactics, including the mysterious glove imagery, plus how his collaborations, features, and production choices continue to elevate emerging artists, producers, and songwriters. The conversation expands into larger discussions about oversaturation in streaming music, the economics of album releases, social media marketing in hip hop, and the challenges artists face in staying culturally relevant in today’s fast-moving entertainment landscape. The episode closes with reflections on being “back outside,” upcoming travel and events, entrepreneurship, faith, and Ty’s approach to purpose-driven decision making. Topics include: Drake, Iceman, independent artists, music industry news, hip hop business, streaming strategy, album rollouts, Frank Ocean, Usher, viral marketing, Spotify, Apple Music, music production, artist development, entertainment business, rap culture, and music marketing.

They compare a more aspirational, unity-focused approach with a more “by any means necessary” boundary-setting style, discussing how protecting peace can affect relationships, public approval, and vulnerability. They touch on why Black men historically avoided discussing mental health, how nightmares and disrupted sleep can signal deeper issues, and the idea that some mental health struggles may connect to spiritual crisis.

Ty and Yoh return on the FYM show—an “ignorant conversation about wellness”—with a special episode celebrating Stevie Wonder’s birthday and discussing his iconic, culture-embedded catalog. They debate Michael Jackson versus Stevie Wonder in terms of “cool” versus musicianship, and whether Stevie was the last artist who could sing about happiness without seeming corny, touching on Pharrell’s “Happy” and how pain often drives popular music. The conversation expands into a studio question: would you trade great music for world peace, with Ty choosing peace and imagining a safer, calmer world where much of hip-hop and many classic artists wouldn’t exist.

]]> 2112 yes Founder Lessons + The Economics of Streaming Music In this episode of FYM with Ty and Yoh, the hosts explore the intersection of business leadership, entrepreneurship, and the modern music industry. Inspired by The Five Temptations of a CEO, they break down one of the most critical leadership pitfalls: choosing personal success over company progress—and how that mindset impacts founders, executives, and growing businesses. Ty shares real-world entrepreneurship insights, including why he avoids the CEO title, lessons from leaving Delta, the moment he realized he could finally make payroll, and how keeping overhead low helped him survive the uncertainty of building a business. The conversation then shifts into the business of music and streaming economics. They unpack how platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube have transformed artist revenue, why music catalog valuations are rising, and how private equity firms are investing heavily in music rights. Ty explains why catalogs have become high-value assets, how they’re evaluated, and what this means for artists, producers, and independent creators navigating today’s industry.

]]> 1660 yes Navigating Brand Identity and Ownership In this episode of the FYM Show, Ty breaks down what it really means to build a brand, understand your value, and choose between ownership and work-for-hire—especially in the entertainment and music industry. From managing artists to building long-term businesses, the conversation dives into the mindset required to prioritize independence, ownership, and control over your time. Ty explains why he’s willing to walk away from money that doesn’t align with his mission, and how defining your non-negotiables is key to building something sustainable. For aspiring managers, creatives, and entrepreneurs, this episode is packed with game: learn the importance of understanding your product, knowing your partners, and gaining real experience by wearing multiple hats early on. Ty also speaks on the reality of changing relationships in music—how age gaps, evolving goals, and personal alignment can shift partnerships over time. He shares the sacrifices behind building Colture as a lifelong company, including choosing long-term ownership over short-term opportunities, and how ownership creates the ability to open doors for others—like hiring family and building a real ecosystem. The episode also highlights the growth of Rap Portraits’ documentary work, including the costs, challenges, and setbacks faced during a rider strike, and what it takes to keep pushing forward in creative industries. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, artist, or even a W2 employee, this conversation reinforces one key idea: everyone has a brand—you just have to decide how you build it.

]]> 2449 yes Getting Back To The Source Ty dives into the truth behind “cultural add-ons” in Christianity—traditions and sayings many people treat as biblical, even though they’re not actually found in scripture. From Easter egg hunts and the Easter Bunny to Santa Claus and common Bible misquotes, the conversation breaks down how these ideas can blur the line between culture and truth—especially for younger believers. Ty explains why relying on secondhand interpretations can lead to confusion and even manipulation, and emphasizes the importance of going straight to the source. He shares his personal journey of reading scripture daily, starting with the Book of James, and how chapter-by-chapter challenges have deepened his understanding. Along the way, he highlights key lessons from Proverbs, Genesis, and Mark that have shaped his mindset and spiritual discipline.

]]> 2201 yes Don't Be An April Fool In this episode, Ty and Yoh unpack the real meaning behind April Fools’ Day, tracing its origins from medieval traditions like the Feast of Fools to its modern-day culture of pranks, virality, and “selling a dream.” What starts as a conversation about humor quickly turns into a deeper breakdown of persuasion, influence, and how easily public perception can be shaped. They dive into the realities of public scrutiny and cancel culture, using the backlash surrounding entrepreneur Pinky Cole’s bankruptcy to highlight how misunderstood business decisions can become viral talking points. Ty reframes bankruptcy not as failure, but as a strategic financial tool—while calling out the dangers of forming opinions without context. Throughout the episode, the message is clear: don’t become the “April fool.” From navigating the entertainment industry to managing talent and making smarter life decisions, Ty shares hard-earned lessons on discipline, integrity, and avoiding costly mistakes. The conversation also introduces a fresh idea—replacing April Fools’ Day with “April Field Day”—as a push toward health, fitness, and accountability. Ty also opens up about turning 42 and what it represents: freedom through structure, obedience, and service. He shares insights on taking control of your health, being proactive with checkups, and using available resources to build longevity in both life and business.

]]> 1967 yes Faith, Patience & the “Get Rich Slow” Mindset What does FYM really mean? In this episode Ty & Yoh challenge the idea that wealth is only about dollars and instead redefine it as freedom of time, strong boundaries, and self-respect. Drawing inspiration from Epistle of James (James 1:19–20), Ty & Yoh explore the power of being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger—a mindset that can protect your peace while building real wealth. They contrast today’s “get rich quick” mentality with a “get rich slow” philosophy, using lessons from Book of Genesis—including the stories of Eve, Lot's Wife, and Abraham—to illustrate the dangers of impatience, shortcuts, and ignoring sound guidance. Ty also opens up about how faith and spirituality can strengthen character, especially when navigating the temptations and pressures of the entertainment and music industries. Sometimes choosing integrity may mean making less money in the short term—but gaining peace, clarity, and a good name that lasts. The episode also honors the memory of Yoh’s late friend Shanae and celebrates International Women's Day and Women's History Month by spotlighting the Empower U Grant, an initiative through Colture Cares that awards roughly five $10,000 grants from a pool of 2,000–2,500 applicants to help women build sustainable, infrastructure-focused businesses. Plus, they share updates on The Colture Playbook Volume 2, with pre-orders open now and dropping fully March 24th, along with upcoming book tour plans and how listeners can order signed copies directly.

]]> 2230 yes The Prelude to Season 4 In this episode, Ty and Yoh break down the real meaning of FYM (F**k You Money) and how wellness, entrepreneurship, and ownership intersect in today’s creator economy. They dive deep into the Colture Playbook series, a business memoir-meets-industry blueprint documenting Ty’s career pivots, music industry lessons, and wealth-building philosophy. Volume 1 (2015–2017) captures the foundational grind. Volume 2 (2018–2020) chronicles major “gear shifts”; from industry relationships to a Grammy-nominated moment — with future volumes on the way. The episode opens with an oral history of the hit record Crew by GoldLink, featuring Brent Faiyaz and Shy Glizzy. Ty shares the behind-the-scenes story of how he worked to connect Brent and GoldLink, navigated publishing relationships, leveraged label partnerships with RCA Records, and helped time the release that ultimately led to a Grammy nomination. He also reflects on an early Australia trip that revealed Brent Faiyaz’s global fanbase before the mainstream caught up. A lesson in understanding audience data before the industry validates it. Ty breaks down modern music discovery strategies, including: Leveraging TikTok for organic reach using sync licensing as a growth accelerator.

]]> 3190 yes When Is The Love Unhealthy | Episode Revisit Picture this: a spirited summer in New Orleans, where the vibrant city becomes the backdrop for a journey through love, personal growth, and the dynamics of business collaborations. That's where we bring you back to the 3rd episode of Season 1 of FYM with Ty and Yoh. We're diving into the heart of love in all its forms—self-love, unconditional love for others, and the respect needed in professional realms. Our discussion takes on the notion that love, when genuine, forms the bedrock of supportive communities and successful ventures. As we reflect on our own experiences, particularly through the lens of post-pandemic life, we discover how true success isn't just about financial gain but shared triumphs. As capitalists with a conscience, we explore a world where professional accountability and human connection aren't mutually exclusive. We've faced our own communication struggles, sought therapy, and learned to balance the demands of financial responsibilities with the richness of human bonds. This episode brings you insights into how wealth influences perspectives and patience, and we challenge the age-old belief that money is life's ultimate currency. Instead, we advocate for a mindset shift where human relationships take precedence, even as we navigate the complexities of business, love, and financial obligations. Our conversation gets personal as we unpack the impact of unhealthy love on financial decision-making, with stories that underline the necessity of strategic planning and financial independence. We also share our journeys, particularly the transition from the world of sports to the music industry, illustrating the courage required to chase one's passions and break free from unfulfilling paths. It’s all about embracing the power of FYM—not just the financial freedom it offers, but the bravery it provides to walk away from anything that doesn't serve your true purpose. Join us as we encourage you to evaluate your life, prioritize your ambitions, and take those bold steps toward a future filled with purpose and fulfillment.

]]> 3458 yes What Does Legacy Mean To You? This episode being our season finale marks more than an ending—it’s an intentional exit from one chapter into the next. In this powerful final episode, Ty & Yoh explore what a “finale” really means across biblical, business, and creative lenses, reframing it as preparation, not closure. Ty challenges the way we talk about legacy, defining it not as an abstract idea but as a business plan for your estate—a practical, actionable strategy designed to ensure that ten years of work can last for a century through proper planning, trusts, and ownership structures. At the center of this vision is Culture Holdings, described as a “cultural BlackRock,” investing in music, sports, and media while integrating foundational technologies like AI and renewable energy. This episode unpacks a new American dream—one rooted in cultural leverage, community creativity, and real equity. Ty shares a case study that embodies this philosophy: a 2016 partnership with artist Brent that began with a $35,000 investment and grew into businesses valued at $127 million by early 2025. By breaking an artist globally without a major label and achieving “unicorn” status, Ty now steps into a new role as an architect and guide for established artists and their teams. The conversation ultimately centers on preserving Black intellectual property, ensuring creative work doesn’t vanish due to poor estate planning. Drawing inspiration from conversational and culturally disruptive voices like Gil Scott-Heron, Bob Dylan, and Amy Winehouse, this finale serves as both a reflection and a blueprint for what comes next. If you’re thinking about ownership, legacy, estate planning, creative entrepreneurship, or the future of culture-driven business, this season finale sets the stage for the next era.

]]> 2894 yes The Colture Playbook and Mastering The Music Business In this episode, we break down the powerful connection between discipline, cultural capital, and financial independence in the music industry with Ty as he gives us a deep dive into The Colture Playbook, Vol. 1. We open by exploring why discipline is one of the most overlooked success drivers in today’s music landscape. Ty explains how consistent habits, intentional decision-making, and long-term thinking separate rising artists from those who burn out—especially in an industry where time, money, and opportunities are often wasted. We dive deep into the concept of cultural capital and how it gives young artists access to rooms, relationships, and resources without traditional financial backing. Ty introduces the idea of the “$30,000-a-year mentality”—a practical framework for building financial discipline, staying grounded, and creating sustainable growth in your music career. You’ll also learn about unconventional funding methods for independent artists looking to maintain ownership and control. From protecting your masters and licenses to understanding how music licensing works (think “renting a house” but for your art), Ty breaks down strategies that help artists stay empowered. We discuss alternatives to predatory label advances and payday-loan-style deals—highlighting tools like Sound Royalties, American Express, and PayPal working capital that can help artists secure funding without losing their creative or financial rights. The episode closes with an essential walk-through of a complete artist management checklist—covering music registration, touring logistics, brand development, online presence, and everything artists should have in place before scaling up. We also look ahead to Colture Playbook Volume 2, the next guide designed to elevate creators with even sharper insights and strategies. Throughout the conversation, we highlight the importance of integrity, accountability, and community, especially among Black professionals navigating the music business.

]]> 2272 yes F*** You Moments: Discovery, the AI Bubble, & Consequence What if the real flex isn’t how much money someone has—but how responsibly they use it? In this week’s episode of “FYM with Ty and Yoh,” we jump straight into the chaos surrounding the newly released Epstein emails, the big-name players caught in the spotlight (yes, Larry Summers included), and how power mixed with entitlement can send people on a fast track to self-destruction. We even put that in contrast with how Jeff Bezos handles his personal world, and the difference a functioning moral compass can make when you're sitting on billions. Then we switch gears and tap into Ty’s brain—aka the AI oracle. Together, we imagine a future where AI isn’t just generating playlists but entire movie sequels, like a wild, algorithm-built follow-up to Contagion. We go deep on whether we’re heading into another AI bubble (hello, dot-com déjà vu), how AI could reshape jobs, and why some people will embrace it while others put up a fight. And in true FYM fashion, we talk about how the most unexpected industries—like the adult entertainment world—have historically pushed tech faster than anyone admits. As we wrap, we’re asking the big question: Is AI going to elevate entertainment or bulldoze it? From sports to concerts to the streaming giants like Apple and Amazon weaving AI into everything, we debate where humans still outrank machines—especially in those electric live moments you can’t fake.

In this week’s episode of “FYM with Ty and Yoh,” we jump straight into the chaos surrounding the newly released Epstein emails, the big-name players caught in the spotlight (yes, Larry Summers included), and how power mixed with entitlement can send people on a fast track to self-destruction. We even put that in contrast with how Jeff Bezos handles his personal world, and the difference a functioning moral compass can make when you're sitting on billions. Then we switch gears and tap into Ty’s brain—aka the AI oracle. Together, we imagine a future where AI isn’t just generating playlists but entire movie sequels, like a wild, algorithm-built follow-up to Contagion. We go deep on whether we’re heading into another AI bubble (hello, dot-com déjà vu), how AI could reshape jobs, and why some people will embrace it while others put up a fight. And in true FYM fashion, we talk about how the most unexpected industries—like the adult entertainment world—have historically pushed tech faster than anyone admits. As we wrap, we’re asking the big question: Is AI going to elevate entertainment or bulldoze it? From sports to concerts to the streaming giants like Apple and Amazon weaving AI into everything, we debate where humans still outrank machines—especially in those electric live moments you can’t fake.

]]> 2224 yes Future-Proofing with AI & Aligning Innovation With Human Values Can AI completely revolutionize the traditional mom-and-pop shops that line our local streets, particularly in underserved areas where economic growth is desperately needed? This episode explores that very question as we break down the potential of AI with our special guest, Michael Early, a financial advisor at Raymond James. We unravel the possibilities AI presents for local businesses, providing them with tools and insights previously out of reach, and examine its potential to either boost or inhibit community development. With Michael's initial venture into AI enhancing his communication and outreach, we reflect on its broader impacts on wealth planning and business efficiency, painting a hopeful picture of AI's role in transforming local economies. The conversation takes a spirited turn as we liken the ongoing AI revolution to the historic dot-com boom, a period of transformative change we were too young to truly understand. AI's potential to disrupt industries is massive, yet it can't account for the hope and fear that accompany human decision-making. While AI might displace some jobs, it will simultaneously open new doors, much like the digital advancements before it. We encourage embracing AI not as a replacement but as a powerful tool to amplify human efficiency and decision-making, making it clear that the future belongs to those who adapt and seize the opportunities that AI technology offers. Finally, we dive into the profound intersection of AI, personal growth, and spirituality, where AI emerges as a vital instrument for maximizing time and supporting small enterprises. We emphasize the pursuit of emotions such as safety and security over material possessions, arguing for a spiritual approach that can integrate seamlessly with AI. By embedding spiritual teachings into AI development, we can ensure these technologies mirror our core values, enriching both our spiritual and technological experiences. As we share personal anecdotes and insights, we highlight the importance of embracing change and the pivotal role of faith and education in shaping a more inclusive and enlightened future.

Join us as Ty shares his electrifying experience at a Beyoncé concert in Atlanta, where Queen Bey's performance wasn't just a show, but a masterclass in dedication and showmanship. Her blend of stunning visuals and unexpected musical influences leaves a mark not just on her fans' playlists but on their wardrobes too. We draw parallels to other music giants like Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd, who, like Beyoncé, redefine what it means to own the stage. The conversation shifts to the inspiring ways young athletes and entertainers are reshaping financial landscapes, not just for themselves but for their communities. Figures like Jalen Brown are highlighted as trailblazers in using their platform and wealth to drive sustainable change. We explore how financial responsibility can transform individual success into communal prosperity, with a nod to the evolving world where even video games can spark a lucrative career. This is a narrative of hope and empowerment, emphasizing the essence of giving back and creating lasting opportunities. Venturing into the confluence of financial planning and music fandom, we uncover the strategies for wealth management and the importance of investing. AI, the stock market, and business ownership aren't just buzzwords; they're pathways to sustained success. Celebrating artists like Tyler, the Creator, we delve into the complexities of maintaining genuine fandom in today's music scene.

This withholding of information parallels the systemic denial of resources and knowledge that has plagued our history, a legacy echoing the era of slavery. As we commemorate my mother's birthday, we highlight the urgency of dismantling these barriers to foster a more transparent and equitable business environment. Focusing on the power of forming genuine connections with influential figures, such as Jay Z, by emphasizing the importance of valuing their experiences and insights beyond mere celebrity. By acquiring knowledge from industry leaders like Steve Stout and LA Reid, we equip ourselves to innovate and adapt across various fields. Passing down positive habits and knowledge to future generations is crucial, enabling us to contribute to cultural relevance and reshape our personal and communal paths. The conversation underscores how prioritizing knowledge and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can profoundly impact our trajectory. We also explore the intricate balance of health and mindfulness, illustrating how personal stories, such as an unexpected medical incident, underscore the importance of both mental and physical well-being. The conversation navigates the concept of fasting as a metaphor for personal growth, challenging us to break free from comfort zones and ingrained habits. Through personal anecdotes, including a 100-day music fast, we highlight the power of community support in fostering self-improvement. Listen in as we celebrate the journey toward health, clarity, and collective growth, emphasizing the significance of manifesting our desires and maintaining overall well-being.

Picture this: a spirited summer in New Orleans, where the vibrant city becomes the backdrop for a journey through love, personal growth, and the dynamics of business collaborations. That's where we bring you back to the 3rd episode of Season 1 of FYM with Ty and Yoh. We're diving into the heart of love in all its forms—self-love, unconditional love for others, and the respect needed in professional realms. Our discussion takes on the notion that love, when genuine, forms the bedrock of supportive communities and successful ventures. As we reflect on our own experiences, particularly through the lens of post-pandemic life, we discover how true success isn't just about financial gain but shared triumphs. As capitalists with a conscience, we explore a world where professional accountability and human connection aren't mutually exclusive. We've faced our own communication struggles, sought therapy, and learned to balance the demands of financial responsibilities with the richness of human bonds. This episode brings you insights into how wealth influences perspectives and patience, and we challenge the age-old belief that money is life's ultimate currency. Instead, we advocate for a mindset shift where human relationships take precedence, even as we navigate the complexities of business, love, and financial obligations. Our conversation gets personal as we unpack the impact of unhealthy love on financial decision-making, with stories that underline the necessity of strategic planning and financial independence. We also share our journeys, particularly the transition from the world of sports to the music industry, illustrating the courage required to chase one's passions and break free from unfulfilling paths. It’s all about embracing the power of FYM—not just the financial freedom it offers, but the bravery it provides to walk away from anything that doesn't serve your true purpose.
