Black Titan – How A.G. Gaston Built a Legacy in a Segregated America
In this debut episode of Builders & Bosses, we dive into Black Titan—the story of A.G. Gaston, one of the most powerful and overlooked Black entrepreneurs in American history.
Born in post-slavery Alabama, Gaston rose from coal miner to multi-millionaire by identifying needs in his community and building institutions that served them—funeral homes, insurance companies, banks, and more. His legacy is a masterclass in resilience, ownership, and vision.
In this episode, I break down key chapters of the book and explore what today’s entrepreneurs and creators can learn from Gaston’s playbook.
You’ll hear about:
- Why your early environment is your proving ground
- How Gaston turned burial needs into his first empire
- The power of delegation and building beyond yourself
- What it means to invest in people—not just profit
- How to lead on both sides: business and social impact
This podcast is for builders, legacy-leaders, side hustlers, and bosses ready to turn lessons into movement.
