This episode of the Everything Matters Podcast couldn't be more special to me, as I have the opportunity to reconnect with one of my favorite coaches in college. Coach Fitz Hill was a graduate assistant in 1988 at my college Alma Mater, Northwestern State University, in Natchitoches, Louisiana.

As an 18 year-old young man attending college there in a strange corner of the state of Louisiana. Being a 6 hours drive away from home, there was nothing I needed more than support, guidance, and a swift kick in the ass to help keep a hard-headed boy like me in line. Coach Fitz, along with a few other coaches of mine, provided just that and made a big impact on me.  He was like a big brother to me, and showed us how to conduct ourselves in certain situations. They all played an integral role in shaping me into the man I would become in life. In this show, I take the opportunity to acknowledge Coach Fitz for the contributions he made to me at a very pivotal point in my life.   

The youngest of three brothers, Coach Fitz Hill was born and raised in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. His father, James, routinely worked 14-hour days as a production manager at Arkadelphia Beverage Company in the daytime and janitor in the nighttime. His mother, Mary, was a high school registrar and volunteered with local children and college students at her church. 

Coach  Fitz earned an athletic scholarship to play football at Northeast Louisiana University in Monroe,  and played Wide Receiver. After the untimely passing of his father, he transferred back  home to support his mother. After graduating from Ouachita Baptist, he joined the U.S. Army and served during the Gulf War as a transportation officer, supporting American troops during Desert Shield and Desert Storm wars; during this time he received the Bronze Star and Commendation Medal.

He earned a double major  from Ouachita College - a B.A. in Communications and Physical Education. A Master's in Student Personnel Services from Northwestern State University while working there as a Graduate Assistant coach. He also holds his Ed.D from the University of Arkansas. He held assistant a head coaching positions at University of Arkansas and San Jose State, and assistant positions at Utah State, University of Arkansas, Northwestern State.

I am so thrilled to have my friend, Zaira Solano, as my next guest! I have known Zaira for about 13 years, and watching her develop into the Force of Nature that she is has been such a joy!

Born as the child of two immigrants, Zaira Solano always held a compassion for what it meant, and as she grew older that compassion deepened. Both her parents were from the Dominican Republic, and both practiced Dentistry there. However, after spending summers being mentored by her aunt who was an OBGYN in the D.R., she became inspired that this was the direction she wanted to go in for her career and life. It wasn't until high school that she came in contact with the art of debate with the debate club. She fell in love with it, and knew this was what she wanted to pursue it further, and possibly go into law. She started to see a possible dovetailing of her love for debate with her growing desire to make a difference for immigrant families. 

After watching many family members and friends go through the turbulent processes of becoming an American citizen, she began to realizing the valuable opportunities she had been given by her parents' choice to have her born in the United States so that she could a chance at the life she now has. Her passion grew, and she knew she wanted nothing more than to help others find that same opportunity for their families. Her goal is to help 1 million people gain their American citizenship over the next decade!

Zaira founded the Solano Law Firm, a boutique immigration law practice with offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama and soon in Phoenix, Arizona. Solano Law Firm primarily focuses on Removal/Deportation defense, family based petitions, and employment based petitions.

Zaira earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Georgia College & State University. While earning her degree, she worked in the office of a solo practitioner in the metro Atlanta area. Zaira worked for several firms throughout the Atlanta area while earning her law degree at Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School. Zaira discovered her passion for immigration law during law school. Later in her training she clerked for a premier immigration firm in Atlanta, Georgia. Zaira also worked in the Fulton County Public Defender’s Office in the Complex Case Division.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Everything Matters Podcast! We're kicking off this season with biz startup expert, Chris Joyce. Chris has founded 21 companies in multiple industries, including high tech, consumer goods, health, and manufacturing. His products have been sold in more than 11,000 stores in 23 countries. I have users of my tech products in 148 countries across the globe. Chris has an insatiable passion for start-ups.

Chris' newest venture is Gusher. Having started many companies before, he kept running into the same issue over and over...the best ideas, and entrepreneurs who authored those ideas, were not getting funded and their incredible ideas often never saw the light of day. He felt that these entrepreneurs weren't getting funded for the most idiotic of reasons - they were not in the right city, or they didn't have the right connections, or they didn't attend the right school, they didn't "look" a certain way, they were too old, they were too young, they were the wrong gender or race, they didn't have the right experience, the right team, or or or or or...you name it and they were rejected because of it. Rarely was their idea the real reason they were rejected. the true reason they were rejected because of their idea. Chris set out to change this, and this is how Gusher was born.  Gusher is the simple, quick, and easy way to create and build a start-up, and without the need for investors or large upfront amounts of capital.  Gusher helps Entrepreneurs create and launch startups using performance based equity. Everything from technology, media, and health to design, finance, and gaming.

If you have a great idea and need the expertise of others to help bring it to life, Gusher can help. Go to the Gusher site and get started. They are now accepting new startups. www.gusher.co.

Today, Jarrett Thomas joins the Everything Matters Podcast and host, Bradford Speaks, to share his journey from the streets of NYC and the Bronx in the hallways of Corporate America and entrepreneurship. He started his career in Sales in his early 20s, choosing not to go the college route like everyone else in his family, many of whom went on to become educators. Jarrett has a huge LinkedIn audience, and is a part of their Creator Program, a select group of creators that are skilled at driving interest and high engagement with what they create.

Jarrett was raised by his parents, and watched his Dad's incredible work ethic and that taught him what it may take to get the success he wanted in life. Growing up in the streets and lacking businessmen and women as examples to look up to, he never imagined he could have a career in business. Like many young, black American males growing up in the inner cities, it was Rap music and Sport (Basketball for Jarrett) that he mostly saw as careers he could reach for and possibly attain. When he got his first sales jobs - through being coachable, humble and willing to allow his managers and peers to pour into him - he found massive success, making more money than any of his siblings had made, he knew he'd found something he could be really good at.

As his career and levels of success progressed, he also began to take up a keen interest in the magic of marketing and became a student of what it takes to influence buying decisions and buyer behavior. From there, he began to build his career in Sales and Sales leadership, and would ultimately discover the value of being authentically himself, no matter what the situation. He never felt at home with in a suit and tie and wing toe shoes, so he took the leap and threw on jeans, a tee and his Chicago White Socks cap and showed up at work, challenging the social norms - expressing to his CEO that he wanted his customers to know who he really is; a real guy, a father, a husband, a man with problems just like them. Reluctantly given the green light, he began his journey on what it means to have your own personal brand, and this is what he helps others now to do for themselves. Enjoy the show!

Today's guest on the Everything Matters Podcast is Nadia Rahali. Nadia and I met just a couple of years ago, and right away we knew we were kindred spirits; connected souls on a mission to make a difference in the world. We immediately developed a tremendous amount of respect for one another due to our shared commitment of serving humanity with our lives and our talents. We have forged a sister/brother-like, unbreakable bond in a very brief timeframe.

Nadia grew up with both her mother and father, and witnessed a very kind and loving relationship between them as a child. They took the time to ensure she was well educated around who she was and the rich heritage from which she hails. She is a Daddy's girl from Casablanca, a city located i North Africa. Nadia  shares her story of how she grew up with big dreams of someday moving to America. After high school she came to America to study the giants of the Civil Rights movements, whom she read about in school books and heard about through empowering stories her parents and relatives shared with her as a child. She boldly moved to the United States to fulfill her dream of attending university here; she chose Old Dominion University in the state of Virginia and studied African American studies, a topic that fascinated her since she was a little girl. 

In her 20s she found herself involved in an abusive relationship and marriage, and like many other in those same situations, found it very difficult to locate an exit for herself. She would soon find the support, resources and ultimately the strength and courage to stand up for herself and finally say goodbye. She never looked back and has gone on to  build a wonderful life and career that she is very proud of.  Nadia currently works with the United Way organization, where she networks with and wines and dines major financial movers and shakers to encourage and inspire them to direct their efforts to supporting the Loudermilk Center of Atlanta, GA. She also consults privately with other organizations to develop fundraising strategies to identify sources to help them achieve their financial goals. This is an extraordinary American story - one of thousands of immigrants who came across the Atlantic to find the American Dream.
