The NEXT BIG THING with Keith D. Terry

Why do so many hardworking people never build real wealth?Not because they lack intelligence.Not because they lack discipline.Not because they are not trying.In this solo episode of The NEXT BIG THING with Keith D. Terry, Keith challenges one of the most uncomfortable truths about money, success, and ownership:Resentment does not build wealth.This episode is not a defense of billionaires.It is not hustle culture.It is not a prosperity gospel.It is a direct conversation about the hidden money stories that shape how people think, spend, save, invest, build, and avoid financial responsibility.Keith explores why many capable people remain financially stuck, even when they work hard, earn income, and know they should be doing more. He also examines the racial wealth gap, generational wealth, faith, money, ownership, investing, and the belief patterns that quietly shape financial outcomes.In this episode, you will hear:• Why resentment never creates wealth• Why money is not evil, but the love of money distorts people• How prosperity gospel thinking damages real wealth building• Why criticizing an unfair system is not the same as learning how the system works• Why ownership matters more than income• How wealthy people think about assets, time, investing, and long-term strategy• Why financial freedom requires belief, behavior, discipline, and action• The 72-hour wealth-building assignment Keith gives every listenerThis episode is for anyone who cares about financial literacy, wealth building, generational wealth, entrepreneurship, investing, leadership, faith, money mindset, personal growth, and ownership.The question is simple:Are you avoiding wealth building because you lack information, or because of what you believe about money?Subscribe to The NEXT BIG THING with Keith D.

What if the biggest problem in medicine is not discovery, but what gets funded?In this episode of The NEXT BIG THING with Keith D. Terry, Keith sits down with Barbara Goodman, President and CEO of Cures Within Reach, to unpack one of the most overlooked challenges in healthcare: the gap between scientific possibility and what actually reaches patients.With more than 7,000 diseases worldwide and fewer than 5,000 approved drugs, the system does not fail because of a lack of ideas. Many promising treatments never fail scientifically—they fail financially.Barbara shares how her organization is addressing this “missing middle” by funding proof-of-concept clinical trials that unlock new uses for existing therapies and accelerate access to care.🔍  In this episode, you will learn:• Why many promising treatments never move forward in traditional drug development • How financial incentives shape what gets funded in healthcare • What drug repurposing is and why it is gaining momentum • The role of off-label use in real-world patient care • How AI is accelerating the identification of new treatment opportunities • Why some of the most impactful solutions may already existThis conversation goes beyond healthcare. It explores how systems prioritize, how innovation actually happens, and what it takes to move ideas from possibility to real-world impact.Connect and Follow:YouTube: @keithdterry Apple Podcasts | Spotify | iHeartRadio#Healthcare #DrugRepurposing #AIinHealthcare #MedicalInnovation #Biotech #PodcastSend us your thought on this episode.Support the showKeith D.

It is about every institution that handed him the audience.In this solo episode of The NEXT BIG THING, executive advisor and C-suite strategist Keith D.
