Howard Flowers
Carrying the same discipline and determination throughout my life that allowed me to become a Division1 Student athlete has served me well. With more than three decades at Ford Motor Company, I have built a career and life defined by consistency and commitment to excellence. As a husband, father, son, and friend, my presence brings genuine care to everyone around me.
Becoming part of Brothers Achieving Dreams is a natural extension of the values I’ve lived by for years. The group gives me a space where brotherhood and financial growth come together for the purpose of personal growth as well ascommunity outreach. It offers a community of men who challenge one another to think bigger, plan smarter, and
build legacies that will outlast them. For Me, BAD represents an opportunity to deepen his financial knowledge, stay engaged in meaningful conversations that effect communities, and strengthen the foundation of generational stability for my family. It is also a place where my experience and leadership help to elevate the group.
For myself, BAD isn’t just an investment circle — it’s a continuation of the teamwork, accountability, and shared mission that shaped me as an young athlete and as a man. It
is a community where I can grow, contribute, and help build something powerful for the future.
Gregory Gillette
My journey began with a simple belief: when people are given the right knowledge, community, and opportunity, transformation becomes inevitable.
What started as a small circle of motivated individuals has grown into a disciplined investment group committed to financial empowerment, strategic growth, and longterm
wealth building.
Over time, the experience has reshaped not only how I invest, but how I think, plan, and lead. We’ve learned to navigate markets with confidence, evaluate opportunities with
clarity, and support one another with accountability. The process has been more than financial — it has been personally enriching. Each member has evolved in mindset,
discipline, and vision.
Today, we stand as a collective built on trust, education, and shared ambition. Our mission is to continue transforming lives through informed investing, collaborative learning, and generational wealth creation. The experience has changed me!!! — and we’re just getting started.

For new investors looking outside of Traditional Mutual and ETF funds, entering the market alone can feel overwhelming. Analyzing the profitability of markets such as real estate in Metro Detroit and crypto currency while maintaining a full-time job is a bit much. One of the key benefits for me is the group learning and understanding. The Bad Investment Group provides a structured, supportive environment where members can learn at their pace and invest with confidence alongside others.
This is primarily achieved through shared knowledge. Instead of making decisions in isolation, members learn from collective experience, different perspectives, and open discussion. This helps newer investors understand opportunities, risks, and strategies more clearly before committing capital. While sharpening the more knowledgeable members with the task of being able to explain and present to the novice members.
Another key advantage is guided decision making. The group evaluates investments together, breaking down why an opportunity makes sense, what could go wrong, and how success is measured. This process helps new investors build real understanding—not just follow along blindly.
The Bad Investment Group objective is to turn uncertainty into education and risk into informed opportunity—making investing more accessible, intentional, and sustainable
for those just getting started.
Carlton Schropshire
For me family is at the center of my life. Which are the bases of my leadership style that believes true wealth is measured not only in financial growth, but in the freedom, it creates to enjoy the people and experiences that matter most.
Whether I’m out on the water boating with loved ones or planning for the next chapter of life, I understand the power of preparation, shared purpose and generational wealth.
By joining the investment group, it has created a community that commits to stability, financial education, and longterm vision. It has been an environment where people learn
together, grow together, and build futures that support both their families and their passions.
In addition, the opportunity to strengthen my financial confidence, expand knowledge, and create a generational impact through disciplined, collaborative investing.
For Me, the benefits are clear: a supportive community, a structured path to wealth building, and the ability to create more moments of joy — on the water and at home —
with the people I love.
Leon Hall
After three decades of dedication and discipline in my career at Ford Motor Company, the time for me to take a serious approach to my next chapter is now. As a proud HBCU graduate, I carry forward a legacy of resilience and community-minded purpose. My understanding of strong work ethics and deep family values is one of the common shared values that attracted me to BAD LLC for a group approach to post career ventures.
Joining Brothers Achieving Dreams (BAD) aligns perfectly with my next chapter. Becoming part of Brothers Achieving Dreams (BAD) represents a natural extension of who I am and what I stand for. The group offers me a space to grow wealth intentionally through collaboration and shared knowledge, while surrounding myself with a brotherhood of men who share similar values and ambitions. It gives me the opportunity to expand my financial understanding, stay engaged in meaningful conversations, and build a foundation that supports generational wealth and retirement income strategies.
I’m really looking forward to the continued learning and community involvement. This will allow me to give back to underserved as well as helping myself and family. In my opinion, being able to share the group knowledge and financial strategies with my children are critical steps towards generational wealth. Because the acquiring of generational wealth without the understanding of how to build and maintain it, will result in the mismanagement of the assets that took lifetimes to acquired.
Anthony White
For me entering a new chapter of life with clarity and purpose is monumental. After years of hard work and dedication, and approaching retirement, my desire is to reside in Sunny South Florida and create supplemental income for my enjoyment, all while being on my own schedule.
Joining BAD gives me a clear and reliable path for creating extra income that supports both my lifestyle and long‑term retirement plans. Being surrounded by a community of like‑minded people who share knowledge, hold each other accountable, and grow together are all the things that will benefit me in my new chapter. The group keeps us engaged and active, giving us opportunities to learn new strategies and stay mentally sharp. Most importantly, for me moving into retirement with confidence, knowing I’m building wealth rather than simply spending it.
For me, the group isn’t just about investing — it’s about creating a retirement filled with options, purpose, and financial peace. Being able to discuss and learn with others about the goals I have in place has been beneficial as well as enriching for the members. And in return, I gained the tools, support, and momentum to make my retirement years the most rewarding.
