When it comes to the car custom game there are two companies that run it. One is on the west coast “west coast Customs” and One is on the East Coast ” Unique Auto Sports” Its like Biggie and Pac. There is nothing Will and his crew can’t do with a car if your imagination can dream it well Will and crew can do it. Will wasn’t always mentioned in the same breath as Sean P Diddy Combs , 50 Cent Lebron James, Yao Ming, Busta. It was a constant climb over his 20 year plus career to get to the top. You could basically call him the Lebron James of the custom car game. I had the honor of doing a interview with Will and he shared what it took him to get to the top. I would like thank Will for taking the time to come out share nuggets with the people. Also shoutout to whole staff at unique auto quality people.
Success it’s scary a thing at times. When you fail once its human nature to second second guess your self. Then when you fail 2 3 4 5 6 7 times, people really start to question themselves. This is where people get separated, and STRONG get up back up and go HARDER because this no such thing thing failure in their mind. They can’t go back to to regular life, they gotta make it out the the SCARY ass jungle. Green pastures on the other side jungle are worth getting attacked by lions and all the others things along the way. LETS be real only few are gonna make it most people are gonna turn back at first sign of adversity in the jungle. You can live aight if you don’t make it through the jungle. But like my homie J cole said I am young Simba and I can’t wait to be king. Kings go wherever they please in jungle, but you gotta earn stripes.
Where do I start with John. Most people don’t know him, if he walked down the street in many places across the united states people wouldn’t have a idea who he is. Even here in Chicago his home town most people have no clue who John is. I promise you though anyone who someone in Chicago knows who John is. I am talking anyone from Oprah, Michael Jordan, to president of united states of America barack obama.
Let me start with Johns story so you can get to know him a little better. He born into a well to do family, well educated with great jobs. John’s dad gave him stock, for his 12th birthday, and from that day he fell in love with investing. When you develop a love for something at 12 and continue to work on your passion there is good chance for success at very young age.
He went on to study at Princeton university, and he was star basketball player there. Then 3 years after graduating he started his own firm with loans from friends and family. He started Ariel investments with just one employee, and worked very hard to grow it. Each year he would gather new clients, and his family connections helped out a lot.
Today he owns the largest african american owned investment firm in the nation. He would spend a lot of his time after school in early years at stock broker office. You know how a lot of people like to spend their time facebook or myspace John would spend it a office.
Your connections in life can only take you so far, and John had the knowledge and passion to back up his company. So that’s why today he owns a multi billion dollar company.
When you are a winner everyone wants to hang with you, and that is the case for John. He also sponsors a lot of events across the nation.
He has a GREAT heart, every year he helps out a lot of kids from the inner city get into investing world. He teaches them, and a lot of them go on become very successful. They run accounts and learn how trade and everything in johns class.
Here enjoy pictures of John W Rogers hanging with out with some of chicago’s elite

John also hangs with barack obama to this day. On inauguration day john was in one two limos carrying the president and VERY close friends and family.
and Enjoy John playing michael jordan one one, and he beat Jordan”remember Star player at Princeton”
WOW Where do I start. Now if you know me I am far from College school boy. If hadn’t started a business in high school I can’t say Harvard would of been out the question for me. I lost true motivation for school freshman year in high when I started generating a ADULT income. Put it like this if my kids don’t become biz whiz’s by time they graduate high school. I would want them to attend Harvard.
Lets start with some notable alumni and peeps who didn’t graduate.
You have the the obamas, George bush. You bill gates and Steve Palmer “Microsoft” and also mark zuckerberg “facebook creator”. I could go on and on with people that stepped foot inside Harvard.
To me I believe Harvard is still number till this day because of standard that they hold. They expect the very best and they get the best. They challenge students to achieve greatness. Students among themselves push each other to the limit. I am not saying its even important to graduate from Harvard. I think best successes of Harvard dropped out.
Don’t get it twisted you GET CONNECTIONS at Harvard. You get a network of people that have powerful people in very powerful places, and Minds that create change. I don’t what is more important at Harvard the education that you receive or network people that you connect with. Graduating form Harvard is not like graduating from state school. A lot of big firms RECRUIT students. Its not like regular folks who go and have to look for jobs. The top peeps Harvard are WANTED.
The reason I wanted to make this post is the level of people that come from harvard. I will update it later with more brilliant people. DON’t get it twisted you don’t have to even see harvard to create brilliance, just saying when hang around like minded people great things happen
