Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling isn’t just making plays on the field; he’s also scoring big in the world of finance and real estate, thanks to guidance from his millionaire mentor, Cedric Nash. Valdes-Scantling, along with other NFL stars, is learning how to navigate the complex world of wealth-building through the mentorship of Nash, an entrepreneur, investor, and advocate for financial literacy in the African-American community.
“I had the pleasure of meeting Cedric through my mom, Tahisia Scantling, some time ago when I was in search of a financial advisor and a tax accountant,” says Valdes-Scantling in a press release. “Cedric has always been gracious with his time in mentoring me on my money mindset, money values, and financial goals. Having a financial mentor like Cedric available to bounce ideas off of is vital to staying focused and avoiding the common mistakes professional athletes make by relying solely on the advice of their financial advisors. Through his assistance and mentorship, I’m now empowered to take control of my own personal wealth journey and possess the skills required to hold my money team accountable.”
Cedric Nash, often referred to as “Your Millionaire Mentor,” is no stranger to the world of wealth-building. With humble beginnings, Nash has grown into a successful entrepreneur and investor, and he is now focused on educating, inspiring, and motivating others to build wealth, particularly within the African American community. He is the founder of The Black Wealth Summit and has been featured in prominent media outlets like Insider, Essence, and NBC Miami.
Nash’s journey to wealth began with a modest inheritance from his grandmother, who earned just $200 a month. Through smart investing, he turned that small sum into millions, a story that he now uses to guide others. His mentorship with Valdes-Scantling has been particularly focused on real estate, as the NFL star embarks on building a new home in Florida. Nash’s guidance has been instrumental in helping Valdes-Scantling understand the intricacies of real estate investment, a key component in building long-term wealth.
Nash’s philosophy on wealth-building is deeply rooted in his personal experience and the belief that anyone, regardless of background or starting point, can achieve financial success. His upcoming book, Why Should White Guys Have All the Wealth? How You Can Become a Millionaire Starting from the Bottom, encapsulates this belief, offering readers a roadmap to financial independence.
Nash’s mentorship goes beyond simple advice. He empowers his mentees to take charge of their financial futures, emphasizing the importance of a millionaire mindset, strategic investing, and financial discipline. His approach is not about quick riches but about building sustainable wealth over time—a strategy that resonates with Valdes-Scantling and other NFL players looking to secure their financial futures beyond their playing careers.
For Valdes-Scantling, working with Nash has been a game-changer. “Cedric has helped me see the bigger picture and taught me how to make my money work for me, not just for now, but for generations to come,” he says.
As more professional athletes turn to mentors like Nash, the narrative around athletes and money is beginning to change. No longer are these stars solely dependent on financial advisors; they are becoming savvy investors and wealth-builders in their own right, thanks to mentors who guide them on their journey to financial empowerment.
Nash is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and financial mentor dedicated to educating and inspiring wealth-building within the African American community. He is the founder of The Black Wealth Summit and the author of the forthcoming books Why Should White Guys Have All the Wealth? How You Can Become a Millionaire Starting from the Bottom and The Millionaire Money Moves Supplemental Investment Guide. Nash’s wealth-building framework is based on proven principles that emphasize long-term financial success through smart saving, investing, and real estate.
