Did you think I wasn’t coming back!? For a while I wasn’t lol. It’s been a journey getting back to podcasting. I’ve had to learn and unlearn so many things, but my take away from it all has been to not skip the journey for the becoming. 

The vision I’ve had for Becoming the CEO Podcast has shifted several times. But we’re doing in 2024 and not holding on to the plan with no flexibility. we are pivoting! Today’s episode I shared where I’ve been, what’s been going on with my businesses and my birthing journey. I hope you enjoyed this vulnerable moment. Please share, comment and rate today’s episode! 

CEOTip: Savor the journey. Trust that you'll get there but you need to start in order to do so. But remember that the journey itself is so much more than the destination. The journey is life, life is the is the journey.

You might be hustling hard but is your work purpose driven? While working can fulfill financial obligations, have you figured out how to both make money and a difference for your community?

Today our Co-Host @Gbabie sits with the founder of @blackgirlscan and Tech Professional @livehumbly_ken Kenisha Dennis is a 1st generation Jamaican-American raised in Queens who has found a way to merge her love for tech and passion for fostering greater opportunities for black and brown youth. She talks about her vision for Black Girls Can, the steps needed to start a non-profit, what it looks like to sustain hands-on programming in the midst of pandemic and so much more. Kenisha owes what she considers her “purpose work” to the plan God has for her and the mission he’s placed on her heart.

It’s one thing to start a journey towards success, it’s another thing to acknowledge your own greatness throughout the journey. To tell you the truth this has been the hardest work/passion battle that I’ve faced yet. I know what I do, how to do it and when…. But am I good enough?

Having others see what you bring to the table is great…meh. What’s most essential is knowing what you bring to a project, room or situation that includes you. Today our Co-Host @Gbabie talks about her growth in the production realm and opens up about some of the things she’s learned in almost a decade about working her worth. 

We hope that you are energized by her learnings to put forth your best effort and that you remember to keep the door cracked for those who are following in your footsteps.

Even the biggest businesses have had to rebrand and relaunch. It’s apart of the game, it’s just the fun part of having your own business. And if I’m being honest the relaunch takes more than the initial launch nevertheless it must be done. 

COVID has changed our lives, the economy and has birthed millions of Entrepreneurs. Today our Host & Executive Producer @SabrienaC_ caught with us to share how she’s been dealing with having to halt sales and go back to the drawing board. She shared her frustrations, fears and what’s next for @VelvetLuxeCosmetics. 

We hope that you are empowered by her transparency and that you are able to glean from her experiences. Life is about going through to help someone else avoid it.

Season 3 is that you? We cannot believe that we are now 3 seasons in, but we are excited!

Today Geralda Emm sat down with the Founder of Woman UnWind. Minajahrae Whynter Martin, is a 26 year old powerhouse of a CEO from the Bronx, New York. Her story and series of real life experiences helped to shape her into the woman she is today. As a child she was the victim of a number of hardships that would have made the average person turn into a cold hearted human being. But, Minajahrae knew she was always born to be a light for others and her past was only a period of her life. She allowed the pain of her past to fuel her into finding her purpose and making sure she fulfilled that purpose while she was alive and able to. From that passion and purpose soul searching journey Woman unWind was born. Woman unWind stands as a pillar of healing for Minajahrae and every other woman who has been through similar hardships in life and no longer want to be a victim, but a victor. She single handedly made a platform for women of color to heal from trauma while having a support system and tools to help them along the way. She often uses the term “journey to becoming our best selves” to remind her tribe of Gems that the goal is always the same - be your best in ALL things. She strives to grow the brand to be a worldwide impact of community and events to reach women who also know they were born with a greater purpose and want to fulfill the things they are passionate about.

Y'all know I wasn't gonna leave without saying goodbye. I know I haven't uploaded in a while but that's because life's been doing its thing. So many changes, so many transitions its just never a dull moment being the CEO of your life. Nevertheless I am VERY grateful for all of the blessings I've received during this season, 2021 has forever changed my life.

Becoming The CEO will always be a passion of mine which is why I was not going to stop the recoding of Season 3 because I am transitioning into motherhood. We will be having an interim host, she's not new to BTC in facts you can go back and hear her in the 1st three episodes of Season 2. Gerald Emm will be our host for Season 3 and we'll stop by before the Season begins to share some insight on what you can expect. In the meantime follow

Hey Alexa play Nipsey Hussle Dedication --- You can't be a successful entrepreneur and be inconsistent, You also can't be shy and avoid networking, you can't make excuses for passing up on opportunities to grow you company and you can't surround yourself wit unmotivated people. Theres sho much that goes into the success of a business but during today conversation we learned that CONSISTENCY is the key to your next big win! You want results then you must put in some work.

Just a little tip, focus on 3 things per day that will help you reach your big goal. You don't have to have a to do list of 10 things, having large to do list are not motivating. In fact I think they're scary.
