You know that feeling when you first meet someone who completely blows you away by her energy, enthusiasm & POWER?! I do & she's

this week's NSD podcast guest...meet @s_ds.

After 13 years as a political manager and strategist, Deon retired to focus her time and attention on growing her brands & passions. She now offers up 15+ years of experience as the Founder/CEO of Joint Effort LLC, a female-founded/female-led marketing agency; is the founder & visionary of the podcast & web series "The Failure Report"; co-host with Marta Miranda Straub of the podcast "Leading In Color"'; the tech developer of Pivot a Professional Wellness Marketplace which is powered by Google; and the Curator of Planner at "The Ambition Planner" @theambitionplanner a daily planner for women of faith.

None of us are perfect by any means and I too have failed at many things in life. But one of the topics on which I refuse to fail & want to bring to the forefront is honest, REAL talk about ethnicity & race. So, listen in at #linkinbio as Deon & I have a no-holds-barred, upfront, & completely unfiltered conversation about female minority leadership/business ownership, plus the joys of being not so darlin, no matter who you are.
