Talking Money with Actor Wendell Pierce

Talking Money with Actor Wendell Pierce Wendell Pierce is best known for his roles on acclaimed HBO series The Wire and Treme, and countless other stage and screen acting roles. But his recent book The Wind In The Reeds tells a personal story of place, family, art, and commerce, culminating in his community redevelopment work in his native New Orleans. It’s a moving tale â€" and a great excuse to talk money. Your book is persuasive about why you had to get so deeply involved in helping redevelop New Orleans’ Pontchartrain Park â€" a black middle-class neighborhood where you grew up and that was devastated by the flooding after Katrina. But on the personal financial level: Did this entail career sacrifices? I’ve been pretty fortunate to work consistently for 30 years â€" but the cash flow is always inconsistent. You’ll make what turns out to be your annual income in a couple of months, and then be unemployed for six months, then work for a week, and so on. The business forces you to become an expert at cash flow. So I never really saw the work I was doing in New Orleans as a displacement of my career. I always knew the two could coexist. It’s time-consuming, and it’s frustrating at times. But I knew that going it. I didn’t think that I could complain, given the legacy of what my parents’ generation had gone through to get that neighborhood to exist. Homeownership is the first step in building a family’s wealth. Yes, and you have a nice anecdote about how that was comparatively rare for black families at the time, and how that was perceived: Your mom telling you and your siblings, “We’re not rich, in case you don’t know. You’re poor.” But did you feel poor, rich, middle-class? I was taught that you reap what you sow. If there was something you desired, and it cost money, then you worked and did what was necessary to afford it. My first trip to Europe, I wanted to go with the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts drama department, so I raised the money by having a disco, as we called it in the ’70s â€" a party, basically. I charged admission, and used the profit to fund the trip. So, I wasn’t raised rich or poor; financial well-being was associated with your work ethic. You left New Orleans for Julliard and then started to get real acting jobs pretty promptly. Did you have a moment getting that first big paycheck? For about a year after Julliard I had imposter syndrome: “I can’t believe they’re paying me.” But after a year I realized, “Wait a minute, you’ve only waited tables for two weeks. You’ve paid your rent by being an actor.” So it wasn’t one particular paycheck, it was coming to the end of that year and declaring, to myself: “I’m a professional actor.” Once I did that, a lot of insecurities and fears went away. And you started thinking about cash-flow â€" or did that take time? I believe in investment and growth. Investment for me is real estate. I own property in New Orleans, Los Angeles, New York, and rental property in Baton Rouge. And I’ve found growth in real estate to be a lot more predictable, for me, than the stock market has been. Growth means starting a business. A lot of actors say, “Oh I want to direct.” But you’re still a hired hand. My leap was to producing. First off-Broadway, then Broadway, and now I’m producing a film, called “Billy.” A producer produces: You’re the owner. As crazy as it sounds, my steady gig is being an actor. The risk is all in the business and community development â€" that’s what’s difficult and ever-changing. That brings us back to your work in New Orleans â€" your nonprofit Pontchartrain Park Development Corporation, efforts to bring new food businesses to neglected parts of town, and so on. I really believe that the social-justice movement of the 21st century is economic development. I feel you can stop a bullet with a job. Even thinking about how to respond to this horrific ideology of the jihadists and what just happened in Paris â€" you can combat that with economic development, with opportunity. I know for me the choices were clear: I had opportunities. The first wealth that you get in life is knowledge and opportunity. That’s where my parents told me, and they made sure that I was always rich. This interview edited for length and clarity.

Which Colleagues Get In The Way At Work The Most - Work It Daily

Which Colleagues Get In The Way At Work The Most - Work It Daily At work, there’s usually at least one person who doesn’t always pull their weight for whatever reason. We wonder why they’re still in the office, what makes them tick and whether there are reasons for their perceived bad attitude to office culture. Although the so-called ‘workplace can’t’ comes in different forms, there are certain characteristics they share. Related: 5 Strategies To Deal With A Horrible Co-Worker A survey of office workers across the UK found that the token obstructive co-worker was most likely to work in the HR department, something almost 18% of those polled said. They were among those most likely to refuse a reasonable-sounding request. The next most popular choice was a colleague working in the Finance or Accounting department, although they got just 10% of the vote. What’s in a name? Male ‘cant’s’ are most likely to be called David, whereas the female equivalent’s most common name was Sarah. Both of them worked in HR, while they were both seen as being in their mid-40s. The obstructive worker was seen as being more likely to be a woman, according to 54% of the people surveyed, while 31% said she was a brunette. The male can’t was most likely to have grey hair. Names are unlikely to have a major bearing on someone’s personality, but if there’s a David or Sarah in your office and they’re acting a little strange, you may have reason to feel a little suspicious! HR workers in particular appear to be in the firing line for colleagues’ scorn, but why are they seen as most likely to upset the applecart? Under pressure In any business, the HR department is needed to keep everything ticking over. However, this can be easier said than done, with many HR and admin workers under extreme pressure to get everything done on time. When they do get something wrong, they tend to be in the firing line from colleagues in other departments. Any workplace ‘can’t’ working in HR is inevitably going to make things more difficult for everyone. Holding things up will make them universally loathed by colleagues, thereby making it far more difficult for them to progress or get what they want from their job and career in the long-term.
