Overview

Transform your business with inspiration from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a revolutionary and progressive thinker who changed American history and society for the better. King’s sweeping dream of equality and freedom for all is well known around the world, but you may not realize just how keenly focused he was on economic issues and the belief that economic inequality kept minorities out of influential positions and handicapped them financially. It was while King was planning the Poor People’s March, a dramatic stand on economic issues, that his life was taken from him and his voice was forever silenced.

Like King once asked, “Where do we go from here?” The answer lies in Kingonomics, a 21st–century interpretation of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s vision, translated through the eyes of Rodney Sampson, a globally established economic innovator, business developer, and highly successful serial entrepreneur. Focusing on free enterprise as the ideal environment to practice King’s teachings, Sampson has created a 12-currency guide through which you can realize your full potential as an individual and as part of a greater movement.

More than 10 years later, the lessons in Kingonomics are more relevant than ever. This groundbreaking book challenges America’s individualistic and profit-focused business mentality in favor of collaboration, diversity, and equal opportunity—and explains why and how this approach can create abundant success for all.

A globally established economic innovator, business developer, and advisor, Rodney Sampson is also a highly successful serial entrepreneur and investor. He cofounded Multicast Media Networks, Intellect, Intellect Inspire, Mobile Currency, Legacy Opportunity Funds, and EFactor.com, the fastest growing online social networking utility for entrepreneurs and investors, worldwide. To date, nearly 1 million entrepreneurs from 165 nations have joined in EFactor.com's ranks. Over the last 15 years, his clients have generated more than $1 billion in revenue, by deftly employing his advisory, management, business development, and integrated marketing services. He is, in addition, regularly called upon to advise nations, businesses, and bishops (who lead millions of constituents around the world). Sampson holds a B.S. from Tulane University, a M.B.A. from Keller Graduate School of Management, and completed studies in the M.D. Program at the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine. In 2010, he was consecrated to the Holy Office of Bishop, under mandate of The Old Holy Catholic Church in intercommunion with the International Bishops' Conference and Kingdom Manifestation.

The recipient of an honorary D. Min. from the I.G.F. Theological Seminary in 1998, Sampson serves as a board member for numerous private sector and not-for-gain organizations. For his contributions to humanity, Sampson was awarded The Phoenix Award, the City of Atlanta's highest honor, in 2004. In direct support of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy, Sampson, his wife, and a group of influencers donated more than $50,000 in 2007 to the King Papers Project, a capital campaign established to ensure that Dr. King's papers would remain in the City of Atlanta at Morehouse College for generations to come. He resides with his wife, Shanterria, and their six children in Atlanta, Georgia.
