Stand-up comedy is frequently mentioned as one of the people's worst nightmares, and when your heart falls out of your buttocks in front of a screamed-at crowd, you wonder, "What fresh hell is this, and why have I done this to myself?" Nothing beats the rush of joy you get when someone picks up what you've dropped. It's all worth it when you can bring the house down with a single line or facial expression. 

Today, Rodney Perry discusses his comedian career and the challenges he faced that provided him with golden experiences over the past 30 years in the industry. Tune in to learn more!  

Standout Quotes: 

“To walk on the stage to tip to make people laugh that don't know, you know, it's complete insanity. But I got to have it.” [Rodney] 

“There's some great comments that aren't funny human beings.  You don't have to be a funny human being to be a great comedian.” [Rodney] 

“Everybody in Chicago is funny. Your mama funny, your grandmama funny, all go funny; Your daddy, everybody funny. You might get roasted by your mama.” [Rodney]  

Key Takeaways: 

Rodney felt scared and lost due to the Pandemic because he didn't know what to do, now that life was altered. So he came up with creating an online presence and gradually gained a respectable online following. 

Facebook puts $40,000 in people's pockets every month, but you're still subject to Facebook. If you do anything that deviates from their standards and practices, your money will vanish in an instant, with no opportunity to present your side of the story. 

If your films, social presence, and tour achieve a breakthrough, you'll be well on your way to success. Everything is intertwined. You can also start selling merch to your loyal followers, which will open up another source of income for you.

Today's show will talk with Terence Chatmon about parenting as an entrepreneur. 

The second half of the show we will be talking with Amy Reese about getting government contracts.  

In this video we’ll walk you through:  

segment 1:  Social class, wealth, culture and income have a very strong impact on what methods of child rearing parents use. Cultural values play a major role in how a parent raises their child. 

However, parenting is always evolving, as times, cultural practices, social norms, and traditions change. Studies on these factors affecting parenting decisions have shown just that.  

Segment 2:  Government contracts are a great source of income for many businesses.  With a lot of red tape and regulations, it is important to know how to navigate through the process in order to secure long term government business relationships.

Today we talk with Dr. John Lipman about how women can deal with fibroids.  

We also talk with John Morley about how to anchor yourself for success as a business owner, entrepreneur and serial entrepreneur.

Today we talk with Ernestine Morrison about being an actress, poet and entrepreneur as well as how she is opening doors for others.  

We also talk with Teresa Outlet about cooking with herbs and reducing sodium intake for a healthier diet.

Do you wake up in the morning feeling down? Or do you feel your business and lifestyle isn’t going as you planned? Or the most common problem you have maybe that your body feels heavy and stiff.   

If you said yes to any of this and you’re still dealing with it. Then you definitely need a chiropractor.

Living as a woman in the corporate world, you’re probably suspicious of being treated differently from your male counterparts in the workplace, here’s the big picture

Unconscious bias is still alive and thriving in workplace cultures because some leaders still carry the assumption that males have more potential than well-qualified women. Even gender achievements are perceived differently. For example, a male employee may get an email praising his service and the boss announces it to all the other employees, giving him kudos and praise at a group meeting. Meanwhile, a female employee receives a similar or even better email and nothing is said nor is it acknowledged.

Unconsciously the boss may perceive the work of the male employee as more productive and deserving of praise than the female. If you think that’s how a corporate business naturally runs, then today's show will make you see things a little bit…..differently.

Today's guest, Bernadette Boas, talks to us about women's leadership and how women can empower each other to reach equal grounds. She paints for us the actual picture of how men unconsciously built a system supporting themselves and assisting each other in climbing the corporate ladder but not perceiving women's work as equals, making them feel more unappreciated and invisible in comparison to their male counterparts.

So if you’re willing and ready to shed that bi**h in you, break through the unconscious bias and create the riches in your work and get the life that you deserve. Then you’ve got to pay close attention to what Bernadette has to say.

Guest: Bernadette Boas guest.
