Short episode touching on the lack of attention missing POC get and what little thing we're doing to help. Facebook goes down and proves that Diversity matters in all things not the least of which how we market our businesses and interact with others. Finally we are highlighting voices from the Latinx community in October so I share a couple interesting facts and leave you with an important question. 

About this Episode

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Jerry Fu who is a pharmacist and the founder of Adapting Leaders. This conversation was so informative and fun. Like most of us, Jerry has a long and storied history in dealing with conflict. Instead of letting the negative take over he utilizes his experiences to help others overcome challenges through his coaching and leadership platform. Jerry is a humble professional looking to help others level up while gaining a better respect and understanding of both Asian and multi-cultural experiences.

About this Episode

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Leslie Lew who is the Founder of Reclaiming your Courage. Leslie is nothing short of amazing and should serve as an inspiration and guide to her community and beyond. Leslie dug deep and shared some painful experiences that could have, and at points almost did, take over her life but she chose to get up, raise her voice and fight back!

About this Episode

In this episode I spoke with guest Nathaniel Turner about the parents’ role in education. We put a lot of pressure on teachers and the system at large to educate and develop our youth but is that enough? We also discussed curating your own personal life with backwards design; how we can harness the future by making plans today.

About this Episode

In this episode I spoke with Beau Palumbo who is a high school teacher in Las Vegas, NV. Beau shared his views on some of the struggles teachers face as well as some ideas on how we can all continue learning as we grow. As humans we can gain so much knowledge and value from simple conversations and Beau was sure to impart on parents the importance of open conversation in the home. Critical thinking is a MUST for our society, and we hope this episode inspires you to dig a little deeper into how you can think more critically in your daily life.
