Guest Biography
Some would say it was blind luck that a young Jackie Starr, who dreamed of escaping her surroundings and someday seeing her name in lights, ended up a successful Las Vegas-based business owner, entrepreneur and author who travelled the world as the personal barber of the world’s greatest boxer, Floyd “Money” Mayweather, for over a decade.
But life didn’t start out as jet-setting and glamorous for Starr, now the owner and proprietor of two full-service barber shops, Iced Out Barbershop on Las Vegas’ Historic Westside, and Iced Out 2, on the city’s Southwest. Scraping out an existence among the abject poverty so prevalent in her St. Louis neighborhood was just a way of life and, Starr says, the most she thought she could expect.
“St. Louis is one of the most dangerous cities in America,” recalls Starr, “I wanted to break the cycle of drinking and drugs all around me and create a different path for myself. Coming from poverty, seeing the effects of welfare, drugs and alcoholism, I wanted different.”
Roundtree’s road to success has been nothing short of miraculous. In 2005, Roundtree left his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with a borrowed 500 dollars and headed towards the town that never sleeps, Las Vegas. Once there, Roundtree found the ruthless realities of living without a financial plan and bad credit. His applications were denied for housing, and this left Roundtree homeless and living out of his car.
With this new dilemma at hand, Roundtree was inspired to diligently educate himself on personal finance and credit. He would walk into libraries and read book after book about credit laws, standard operating procedures, regulations, credit and economics. Eventually, this led Roundtree to become a FICO certified credit consultant. In this role, Roundtree helped thousands of families successfully restore credit, purchase property, own vehicles for the first time without a co-signer, obtain credit cards and secure business credit.
