I’m Maurice A. Shabazz, a Certified Financial Education Instructor and long-time entrepreneur who builds brands, systems, and scalable digital platforms at the intersection of marketing, business development, and financial empowerment. For more than two decades, I’ve helped ideas become organized businesses by turning strategy into execution, from positioning and messaging to SEO-driven blogging, funnel design, AI automation, and conversion-focused customer journeys. My work is grounded in practical marketing that produces measurable outcomes: clarifying an offer, identifying the right audience, building authority through content, and deploying a repeatable acquisition system that can scale. I specialize in growth strategy, content ecosystems (blogs, lead magnets, email and SMS nurturing), local and organic SEO, and automation stacks that reduce manual work while improving lead quality and follow-up. I frequently build and optimize workflows using tools like GoHighLevel, Builder.io, and AI-assisted content and support systems. Over the years, I’ve developed and led multiple ventures and initiatives across finance, education, media, and creative services, including Dispute AI™, E-Fix Credit Solutions (E-FIX CREDIT, INC.), Black Concrete, Inc., Scale Remote, Inc., Financial Labs™, Grandmaster Outreach, Inc., and mission-driven community work through organizations such as Financial State of Minds, Inc., and Grandmaster Outreach Inc., along with additional business entities including organizations such as Prodigy (www.prodigys.org). My focus is simple: build credibility, build systems, and build momentum. I’m best suited for questions on marketing strategy, business growth, SEO and blogging for authority, offer positioning, funnel optimization, automation, and how to develop a brand that can earn trust and convert consistently.

I am an Institutional Debt Market Architect with more than 17 years of experience designing the valuation, liquidity, and recovery protocols that banks, credit unions, fintech lenders, and private credit funds rely on to make high-stakes decisions. I’ve advised on, analyzed, or helped broker over $100 billion in performing and non-performing receivables across consumer, commercial, auto, BNPL, mortgage, and specialty finance asset classes. My work sits at the intersection of portfolio valuation, lending risk, distressed-asset strategy, and AI-driven recovery intelligence. I help institutions understand the true condition of their receivables, uncover hidden risk, and translate complex credit dynamics into clear, actionable decisions. When lenders need to determine whether to hold, recover, restructure, or sell an asset, I’m the person they call. As Director of Portfolio Liquidity & Asset Disposition at Fitzgerald Advisors, I architect and execute loan-sale strategies, oversee due diligence, and structure NPL and charged-off debt transactions that maximize proceeds while maintaining regulatory integrity. I also build the technology that powers modern receivables strategy. I created Debt Catalyst, an AI-driven valuation and liquidation-curve engine used by professional debt buyers and investors. I developed Bank Watch Pro, a real-time intelligence platform that interprets FDIC and NCUA call-report data to identify institutional credit risk, NPL trends, charge-off exposure, and early-warning indicators. Across my ventures, I focus on one mission: turning distressed receivables, delinquency, and charge-offs into liquidity, clarity, and competitive advantage for financial institutions. I provide expert commentary on: Distressed portfolio valuation & credit-risk analysis NPL and charged-off debt sales Fintech lending trends & BNPL credit performance Bank & credit union financial health (FDIC/NCUA analytics) AI in collections, segmentation, and liquidation modeling Regulatory and compliance implications in debt markets I don’t follow the debt markets — I architect them. And I use that experience to help lenders, investors, and agencies make smarter, faster, and more profitable decisions.
