FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dr. Jameelah “Just Jay” Wilkerson Launches Next Phase of the Ignite Your Lyfe 30-Day Self Challenge Virutal Academy — Now Co-Hosted by Ryan Mack, CEO of Main Street
Dr. Jameelah “Just Jay” Wilkerson, CEO and Owner of The HYPE Magazine, proudly announces the next evolution of the Ignite Your Lyfe (IYL) 30-Day Self Challenge Virtual Academy, beginning August 2025. Now entering its third year, the initiative has empowered over 1,000 participants to radically transform their lives—restoring financial health, launching new ventures, and laying the foundation for generational wealth.
In a strategic expansion, Dr. Wilkerson welcomes Ryan Mack, CEO of Main Street and nationally recognized financial literacy advocate, as co-host of the weekly series. Mack, known for his appearances on CNN, CNBC, BET, FOX News, and MSNBC, has been featured in Essence, Black Enterprise, The New York Times, and brings decades of experience in guiding individuals toward economic empowerment.
Beginning every Tuesday in September 23, 2025, Wilkerson and Mack will co-lead live Zoom sessions that walk participants through a proven 30-day framework rooted in real-world execution. Each class will cover essential areas including:
Self-Esteem Through Entrepreneurship
Time Management & Personal Discipline
Building Personal & Business Credit
Funding Strategies & Legacy Planning
This isn’t just education—it’s transformation. The challenge is built for individuals ready to take immediate action with support, structure, and results-driven accountability.
And the results have been extraordinary.
Over the past 24 months, the Ignite Your Lyfe 30-Day Self Challenge Virtual Academy has delivered measurable, life-changing outcomes:
87% of participants successfully restructured their personal and business frameworks within 90 days
355 participants raised their credit scores by more than 100 points
100 participants gained new income-generating trades and certifications—including Life Insurance Licenses, Real Estate Licenses, Notary Public, Credit Repair Specialist credentials and more.
257 participants established living trusts and legacy plans to secure generational wealth for their families
“I created the 30-Day Challenge Virtual Academy to give people a repeatable system they could use to create real change—financially, mentally, and spiritually,” said Dr. Wilkerson. “Two years in, we’ve seen the proof. Adding Ryan Mack as co-host only expands the reach and power of what we’re building.”
“This is about moving beyond information and into transformation,” said Mack. “Together, we’re helping people reclaim their power—over their money, their mindset, and their mission.”
Graduates of the 30-Day Self Challenge Virtual Academy are invited to take the next step as part of IYL Developers, an advanced cohort focused on applying everything learned toward real estate ownership, business incubation, and community-building initiatives.
IYL Developers is a national impact model designed to close the wealth gap by fusing real estate, entrepreneurship, education, and infrastructure. The initiative has already partnered with legislators, builders, lenders, and farmers to build modern, sustainable communities across the country.
Through IYL Developers, participants gain access to:
Real Estate Development: Smart communities, gated subdivisions, and mixed-use spaces with co-working, wellness, and retail amenities
Business Incubation: Onsite units, coaching, and capital strategies to help entrepreneurs build and scale
Youth & Workforce Development: Trade training, NIL monetization programs, and life skills rooted in leadership and ownership
Legacy & Wealth Building: Land ownership, cooperative investment circles, and equity-sharing models to ensure long-term resident benefit
Advocacy & Policy Innovation: Creative financing tools, crypto integration, and urban planning partnerships that challenge traditional systems of exclusion
The mission is bold: Reclaim communities. Circulate wealth locally. Equip the next generation of builders. From reversing gentrification to bridging vision with funding, IYL Developers is not just a real estate company—it’s a movement.
“This isn’t about helping people survive—it’s about building ecosystems where they can thrive,” said Dr. Wilkerson. “Our developers will not just own property; they’ll own purpose, community, and legacy.”
Registration Now Open
This experience is open to the public and especially designed for entrepreneurs, community leaders, and individuals seeking actionable steps toward financial and personal breakthrough.
Participants who complete the challenge are eligible to apply for IYL Developers and begin their journey into real estate ownership, cooperative building, and generational wealth creation.
