Description
by James Monte Montague (Author), Dionne Blanks (Editor)
What can you build with fifty cents, a pack of Kool-Aid, and a dream?
For James "Monte" Montague Jr., it was the start of an extraordinary journey from a kitchen barber in the Southgate projects of Raleigh, North Carolina, to a multi-million dollar real estate developer, business leader, and community builder.
In Hood Minted: $.50 and a Pack of Kool-Aid, Monte shares powerful lessons from a life shaped by faith, hustle, and resilience. This isn't just a memoir-it's a motivational playbook for anyone determined to break generational cycles, build wealth with purpose, and lead with integrity.
With unfiltered honesty and hard-earned wisdom, Monte delivers real talk on entrepreneurship, failure, self-discipline, and success-infused with spiritual truths, street-smart strategy, and encouragement for the soul.
Whether you're launching a business, bouncing back from a setback, or trying to find your path in life, this book will remind you that where you start doesn't determine where you finish.
You'll discover:
- Why your pain can become your power
- The mindset shift every successful person must make
- The real definition of wealth (it's deeper than dollars)
- Why taking the first step-even if it's just 50 cents-matters
- How to stay grounded in faith while reaching for more
