He Chased Guys Like Him. Now They're Face to Face. (S2S 546)

podcast June 18, 2026

CJ and David sat down with Jemal King and Wall Street Trapper right after the One Percent stage, and what came out was bigger than money. Jemal spent his early years as a cop, putting on a vest every day. Trap came up on the corner. Two men who once lived on opposite sides of the law, now face to face, breaking down how they ended up with the exact same mindset about risk, discipline, and building wealth.

Trap explains how the streets prepared him for capitalism. Jemal breaks down the seven streams of income and why you don’t chase all seven at once. And the whole room gets honest about buffer room, the equity that decides whether one bad week wrecks you or barely moves you.

This one is raw, it is real, and it might change how you look at every dollar you spend.
