The "PUT A RING ON IT" Initiative



For nearly five years, Chris Sain Jr. founder of the “PUT A RING ON IT” initiative has been pouring into young men, specifically black men ages 35 and under that are either single and holding out on love or in a relationship but refuse to get married.

Chris Sain Jr. considered by many to be a relationship expert, but he willingly admits, he is the least likeliest of all men to get married, is also a domestic violence and sexual assault activist among other things says, “If you are over 35, in a relationship for three or more years with a person and you are still not married, you know better!!! You are playing games. I don’t seek to consult guys like that because as a man, you know better.”

The “PUT A RING ON IT” initiative was birthed because Chris decided to be to other young men what he wished someone were to him. "Married men I knew, never kept it real when asked about what married life is like." The number one answer every man gave was “It’s tough. Marriage is tough. It’s hard work.” As a young man who did not think marriage was for him, that answer only pushed Chris further away from even desiring to get married and left him with more questions: How is marriage tough? Why is marriage tough? What makes it tough? He wondered. – No man…Not one, ever answered this question. No man ever kept it real.

Now older and wiser, Chris thinks he now knows the reasons why men never offered much. “Most of them weren’t living right. They weren’t doing right and most likely had a woman on the side”, Chris says. As a speaker who travels the country to speak about love and relationships, he say's God can't use you if He can't trust you and talks about how being young-married-and-faithful has afforded him many opportunities he otherwise would not have.

Today, when Chris meets with young men, his questions are simple and to the point. Always firm, Chris says, most times he asks two questions especially when he meets a young man that is currently in a relationship with a good woman, “what is the hold up? What are you afraid of?” From there, men are usually able to open up and openly discuss their fears, their hesitation as well as ask any questions they have about the benefits of getting married. “For me, it’s more about a dialogue. It’s more about a conversation. Young men just need somebody to talk to, somebody that know, and someone who is going to tell them the truth and keep it real.”

A former Division I athlete who holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree (cognitive behavioral therapy), Chris is honest and admits he has a past with a variety of beautiful women dating back to high school and his time in college, where he attended Michigan State University, Saginaw Valley State University and Wayne State University. Now married and a devoted husband, Chris says, “I was who I was and I am who I am and I’m cool with both people. The old me no longer exist however, and because I speak from a place of lived experience and actually lived everything I challenge young men about, they quickly know, after about 2 minutes of talking to me, (whether they know my past or not) they know I understand this thing called love on a level that only a person who actually lived it can speak to on such a high level and in such a profound way.”

Chamillionaire: How He Could Afford That ‘NBA Finals’ Courtside Seat And Much More!!!

Chamillionaire, former rapper turned tech giant With all due respect, Chamillionaire never has to record another song, make a rap or listen to music ever again for the rest of his life.  No, it’s not due to ringtones either. Can we say… SILICON VALLEY, CALIFORNIA?  Just the location, alone, you see what I’m getting at, right? Although Hakeem “Chamillionaire” Seriki has chosen to keep his “urban” look and rapper image, he’s gone “tech.” And trust, his money is longer than every rapper in the industry. Why??? Because of Investments !!! According to Chamillionaire, at his office in Silicon Valley, all kinds of people come through to talk to him — from “scientists, Ivy League graduates, people who have brilliant ideas and ‘people who are just winging it’,” says the known rapper. Where are they now… Sure, it has been years since Chamillionaire has had a hit song. Probably the last worldwide song people knew was “Ridin’.” Remember? Well, at one point, yes

Why I Became An Investor

Chris Sain Jr. Top 40 under 40 Business Leader The Why My dad was and is to this day, the best businessman I have ever known . I am certain that over the course of his lifetime he earned well over a million dollars. I am not at all saying he or we, as a family were millionaires, in fact we were your average, maybe above average middle class family, but his business acumen took him very far in life as a businessman.   Me on the other hand had no business acumen. As a kid, my dad told me to play and to have fun and to worry about work when I became an adult. My father instructed my brother and I to do this because growing up he didn't have much of a childhood and wanted different for us. So, as a kid, you listen to your dad. To be fortunate enough to actually have a dad in the home, you listen even more when your dad tells you something. So... Play is what I did.  I played so much I became one of the best athletes to come out of Grand Rapids, Mich.... (read a
