In the Moment - We are tired and ready for change

In this bonus special, I wanted to express my thoughts and feelings on the recent deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd and the social unrest that has been fueled. Black people in America are tired. We're tired of being murdered in the streets, profiled by vigilantes, treated like criminals, not given justice, equality, or the basic right to life. We're tired. We are imploring America to change. We're pushing for reform across our institutions - from criminal justice to healthcare and beyond. It is time for America to live up to its ideals. Let's talk about it.

In the Moment - CEO or Operations Manager? Which are you?

When you’re running a business, it’s easy to lose sight of the role you have in the business. We have CEO as a title, but our jobs are more aligned with that of an Operations Manager. We’re doing the tasks instead of focusing on strategic growth and actions surrounding it. It’s time to make a mindset shift and actions shift into being a true CEO and see the results we want for our businesses and lives. 

I mentioned a few links in the show, so check them out below!
