Black business leaders: How to build wealth and career success investinyou (In partnership with acorns.)

Isaiah McKinnon began his 50-year career in public service as a patrol officer with the Detroit Police Department in 1965. When he joined, he was one of the less than 100 Black officers out of the nearly 5,500 officers on the force. An Air Force and Vietnam veteran, McKinnon became the "poster officer" for a campaign to recruit more minorities to the force.

Nearly three decades after he joined the force, McKinnon was appointed Detroit Police Chief. At the time of his appointment, McKinnon was openly critical of the department politics he had experienced. He quickly shifted the department's focus towards community-driven policing, which aims to bridge the gap between law enforcement and communities by introducing officers directly into the communities.

A graduate of the F.B.I. National Academy and U.S. Secret Service School, McKinnon has met many dignitaries, but one, in particular, stands out to him. "I've met six presidents of the United States and countless other leaders. But the one who truly taught me the meaning of building wealth was Nelson Mandela. He inspired me to believe that true wealth is built on education, commitment, fortitude, love, and hard work and sacrifice. That's why I stand tall as I do today.

McKinnon has authored three books, "Stand Tall," "In the Line of Duty," and "North Between the Houses."
