Meet Lonnie Bennett III | Financial wellness coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Lonnie Bennett III and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lonnie, how does your business help the community?
As some may know, anything worth any value and accumulates to wealth credit is necessary. Just think about it, in order to get a mortgage loan, house refinancing, Income property, car loan, etc you need at the very minimum good credit. Knowing that I get the opportunity to contribute to families in my community break the generational wealth curses that’s been passed down by generation, is an awesome feeling. I always wanted to help people but I wanted to impact the urban community most importantly. Teaching about financial awareness and its importance is my calling. I have come to learn that chasing money is a failure but chasing my passion of serving others is fulfilling and I will always have an abundance of wealth making opportunities around.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My proudest moment was believing in me and betting on myself. I always thought that life was about working a lot of hours and building someone else’s dreams but it took me being fed up with my life and actually becoming the author of my own story. If I could give anyone advice, it would be not to worry about support or the what the people around them think. No one else was involved in the process of their vision being presented to them except the universe or higher power depending on their beliefs . Create your own life, create your own reality, create the life you want to live. You are you own competition and your goal is to be better than you were yesterday and prepare in the present to be better tomorrow. Its not easy because life happens but if you can be 1% better daily, imagine where you will be a year from now.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Los Angeles is the best place to bar and club hop. Our night life is really dope but the day life is just as good. We would start off the day with Roscoes on pico and head right to a day party. Who doesn’t love to day drink lol. You have to finish the day drinking with a nice meal. I love mom and pops establishments so we surely would visit Harold & Belles for some authentic creole food. To cap the night off the hookah lounge is a must to listen to nice music and enjoy a chill environment. If I could suggest a place to go eat I would suggest Bayou Grille. One of my favorite places in the city.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to thank my significant other/spouse Janelle Beatty. Shoutout to her for her constant support and ability to keep me accountable for my actions or lack thereof. She pushes me daily to keep my word and remembering my “why” that drives me to continue to help the masses even when I may not feel like it or seem to be giving in to my imposter syndrome of self doubt. Without her I don’t know where I would be in life and she is the co-conductor of this business that keeps everything afloat.
