Not even a stint in prison could hold down his dream...what's your excuse?!

Mr. Gregory (Greg) Rutledge, Jr. is the Founder of Atlanta Barber Institute, Inc. (ATLBI).  He is an Entrepreneur, Licensed Master Educator and Licensed Master Barber and the architect behind the creation of the most innovative and cutting-edge barbering school in existence. Gregory holds additional certifications in Advanced Hair Colorist, (SMP) Scalp Micropigmentation, MicroBlading, NanoBlading and Hair Replacement Units due to Alopecia. He was recently recognized for his Outstanding Leadership by the Education 2.0 USA recently held in Las Vegas, NV.

Gregory picked up his first pair of clippers at the age of 12 in his mother’s kitchen and found an immediate interest in the craft, However, his teen years came and he found trouble that would cost him 20 years of his life in prison. Decades later, he decided to pursue that heart-held career as a barber, and he deepended his education within the barbering industry so that he could extend his career and his reach beyond the barber chair. Coming from a family of educators, he knew education was the key to making the impact he wanted to make. He did the necessary research in the State of Georgia to discover what it would take to open up an educational institution for barbering. He dared to dream big, and what he would create goes far beyond that dream he once had. He now serves dozens of barbering students, men and women, each year, and is fully living his passion.

Gregory is keenly aware of the serious need for more tradespeople in a variety of industries, and he continues to work with young people, offering employment through Rutledge Maintenance Services, a family-owned Heating & Air Conditioning company that his sons operate together. As a society we are doing wrong by so many of our unemployed adults and underemployed young people. I’ve proven I can do it before, now I’m doing it again. And who does it benefit? Our local community, our local economy, our next generation. Enjoy the podcast.

Today's show is especially special for me, as I have the honor of interviewing a dear friend of mine with whom I recently reconnected. Robert and I hadn't talked in over a decade; as life would have it, we lost contact with each other, but as soon as we were in each other's realm again, it was as if no time had been missed. A timeless friendship. As soon as I caught wind of Robert's ascension into the Executive Suite, I reached out right ways because I knew I wanted to have him come onto the Podcast to share his story with you. Robert and I have always held a tremendous amount of mutual respect for one another for our leadership and the commitment we share to make a difference with others.

Robert grew up in Washington, DC with both his parents and siblings. They worked hard to keep food on the table and to educate their children. Robert's parents were a huge inspiration for him; his father was a businessman and Robert would pattern his career after his, entering the business world of finance as a career. In this interview Robert shares his remarkable story of how he pushed him self to be his best, remained humbled and never remembers to always acknowledged and be in service to those who may be less fortunate than yourself. Giving back is essential in his opinion. Robert falls within the 1% of minorities who hold the designation of Certified Public Accountant. After a near tragedy, his wife pushed him to go after his dream in spite of what he was facing.

Noelle Jackson is an actress, yogi and Embodiment Coach, who works with women to help reshape the way they see themselves, their bodies and the relationship that exists between the two. After some traumatic experiences in her early life, Noelle lived a life for many years feeling depressed, closed off and disconnected from the world. This also made if difficult not only to relate to others in a healthy way, but more importantly to relate to herself. She started doing a deep dive into those experiences, and unpacking everything that was there. From this space, she began to create and develop her own healing methodology that caused a tremendous breakthrough in the way she lived her life. She became so inspired that she started her own practice as a means of supporting other women to have similar breakthrough experiences. Every woman is different, she says, and every one of them deserves to be free to love themselves openly and without self-judgement. She is committed to supporting women around the world to live a life that lights them up and a positive relationship with themselves through and through.

Today's guest on the Everything Matters Podcast is Judi Knight. Judi is a Pensacola, FL native and a long-time resident of Atlanta, Ga.  Judi is a clinical psychologist by trade and was in private practice for years before starting a medical records software company for psychiatric hospitals.  After selling that company, it became apparent to her that  practicing psychotherapy wasn't something she wanted to do again, but she had no idea what she was going to do instead.  She made the bold decision to let her license go so she wouldn’t be tempted to “fall back on it".  She never looked back. Judi began learning how to develop websites using Wordpress, and complete strangers would approach her in coffee shops in Atlanta to learn what she knew.  In 2008, she used this experience and her entrepreneurial spirit to attract a talented team of individuals that enabled to her to start her web development company, New Tricks.

After an inside tip from a brilliant Real Estate developer friend of hers, Judi bought a huge warehouse space in urban Atlanta in the late 1990s, and designed a large loft space on the back side of it. That property would end up hosting the Atlanta Beltline in its backyard. That tip from her friend has paid off in spades! She currently runs her software company out this space, and with her children  grown and out of the home, she was left with an enormous space and wasn't quite sure to do with it all. So, she decided to create another revenue stream by turning it into the Oasis Bed & Breakfast., where guests can book a wonderful stay and enjoy all the amazing restaurants, bars, arts and outdoor culture ITP Atlanta has to offer.

Ontological Orations are based in the distinctions of Ontology, which is defined as the Theory of Being. This work has been enormously valuable and instrumental in the transformation Bradford's life has undergone in the last few years, and it has inspired and lit up his performance in life in ways no other personal development work has ever done before, directly benefiting everyone inside and/or near his sphere of influence. This brand new point of view has opened up a whole new context for how he chooses to live and create what he wants his life to look like. It has caused him to become highly effective as a Performance Coach, a Thought Leader, Communicator, and Listener, which enables and empowers the support his coaching clients are looking for to create their lives newly.

Ontological Oration #4 - Get Off It - is intended to point to the fact that not everyone will support what you are up to, and that's ok. There's no need to hold them and your relationship with them hostage because of it. You don't have to, it's a choice; everything is a choice. Instead, you can choose to Get Off It, let them off the hook, and allow them to be free to support whatever and whomever they choose. When you allow others to be set free, guess whom else gets set free - yes, you! Doing this gives you real power, real joy, real satisfaction. Not a satisfaction you feel from making someone wrong, dominating or diminishing them, but a power from knowing that you have complete control of your response to what happens in your life; power in knowing that you have a say about how things will go. Don't believe me, please - try it for yourself. You may discover greater clarity around what's really important to you. You may find yourself being productive, creative, and making the difference you always wanted to make. Said another way - Let It Burn! 🔥

This episode features Bro Ray Jackson, from Detroit, MI. Ray is an Entrepreneur and Advertisement Consultant who is committed to inspiring and empowering business owners to move forward with creating multiple streams of income for themselves, and never stop grinding. He has developed a program that supports small to mid sized businesses in creating revenue without spending money. The system Ray uses has been featured on several national TV shows, and he is committed to helping people build their brand identity, isolate their customer persona, and create marketing strategies to motivate customers to take action; hence the name - The Ace of Action!

As a kid, Ray was short, chubby and was teased and laughed by his peers during physical activities such as basketball. When he made up his mind that he was going to get into a regular workout routine, he dropped the weight and became one of the most physically fit kids in his school. Ray started out as a college student right out of high school, and quickly realized it wasn't the path he wanted to take. The name The Ace of Action was inspired by an experience he as a young man, where his grandfather was undergoing amputation of a limb. The doctor told Ray that this wouldn't have happened had Grand dad just followed his simple instructions. Due to his Grandfather's inaction, he witnessed first-hand the possible consequences he had to face due to his unwillingness to take action. Since then he has taken on a mentality to never hesitate to take action when you are clear about what you want.

This week's episode of the Everything Matters Podcast  features special guest, John H.F. Douglas III, also known as "J".  In his teenage years, John stumbled upon a need that his close friends had and requested that he do it for them - it was a haircut.  He didn't promise them the cut would be great, but he assured them he would do his very best. This has become the way in which "J" chooses to live his life; never doing anything half-ass, and always giving 100% in anything he would take on.

In 1995 "J" would establish his own shop and name it FADEOLOGIST; this is where the fascinating story began, as he started to really perfect the science and technology of the haircut called the "Fade". The fade is a popular and timeless style of haircut that permeates Black culture and portrays a clean and dapper look with tapered side temples and nape of the neck, and various top of the head lengths and styles to accompany it. He would also coin certain terminology such as calling his barbers "FADENICIANS". FADEOLOGIST® was founded 1995 in Atlanta, GA  and is now one of the most recognized brands in the barbering industry, and one of the longest standing barbershop entities in Gwinnett County, Georgia. 

In alignment with its commitment to the communities it serves, FADEOLOGIST® went on to establish a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization called LIFE GROOMING TOOLS FOUNDATION. This organization helps boys from the ages of 12-15, mostly from single parent homes. It is designed to help train these young men for leadership, while teaching them the value of earning and investing their dollar.

I am so excited to feature "J" on the Everything Matters Podcast; I consider him a friend. I have known him for more than 20 years, and I have had the personal pleasure of watching him not only develop his craft as a barber and a service-eccentric businessman, but also create and build a household ATL barbering brand that grinds within a purpose to make a real difference.

Ontological Orations #3 - Knowledge is NOT Power - Speaks to the fact that we have been taught that we should continuously seek knowledge and more and more education because the more knowledge we can obtain, the greater are our chances at finding success in life. This Oration asserts that Knowledge is NOT the way to access the Power needed for creating the results we want for our lives. It further asserts that REAL power is found in the places we aren't told to look; in the unusual and hidden places. Knowledge alone won't cut it! Look at it - we are living in a day and age that is littered with information on top of information, and those mounds of data still don't lead us to being satisfied and fulfilled in life.  Perhaps what you are looking for resides in some other realm. You are invited to inspect those unpopular and unusual spaces. Ontological Oration #1 - Completing The Past - is a fantastic place to begin this work. Injoy!

I am so thrilled about today's episode, where a really special guest stops by to chat. Today's show features a dear friend and proverbial big brother of mine, Bruce Sampson.  Bruce Sampson is the Director and Producer of the Believe Performance Arts Experience.  At a very early age, Bruce became clear about the fact that he wanted to build a life and a career around music and the cultural arts. His parents, both educators and his father a musician, had a huge impact on his love for music. It was a single moment of watching a young Jackson 5 that lit a fire inside of him that has lived on for more than 3 decades. There have been many others along his artistic path who have an influenced and deepened his love for the arts. Bruce left our hometown of Bogalusa, Louisiana after completing High School and rarely looked back. He briefly attended Loyola University in New Orleans, La. until he realized he didn't want to do "music", he just wanted to sing! He then joined forced with the Young Americans, an International Music Outreach Tour, where he worked as an entertainer in a Music House in Atlanta, Ga. This is where he got his first real taste of life as an entertainer. He would re-join them later and began to cut his teeth on being a part of the production team and learned how to craft a show from beginning to end.  Bruce is a talented, national and internationally published Writer, Arranger, Director and Producer of theatrical events that have appeared on stages across the globe. He is also a Speaker and Educator who intends to inspire the world's youth to dream BIG, and never let their circumstances get in their way as an excuse. Bruce has made an incredible contribution to the cultural arts community, and his daughters have followed in his footsteps to blaze their own trails in the same world of theatrical performance.

Bruce's seasonal Believe Camp will be taking place across several areas in the Southeast United States this coming Summer 2022. If you would like to learn more or consider having the Believe Camp grace your city or town and inspire your youth to dream big and go for what they want in life, the organization can be contacted through their website - www.believecamp.com.

Ashley Mizzell, CEO & Founder of Breath To Blossom, which is a nonprofit organization providing accessible trauma-centered, mind-body therapeutic programs and mental health services to survivors of intimate trauma; heavily focusing on survivor populations of intimate abuse, sex trafficking and individuals working in the commercial sex industry. She is also a Yogi and Mindfullness Teacher. 

Ashley opens up to Bradford around some of her own personal challenges and dealings with abusive relationships, and how she unwittingly allowed herself to be exploited and caught up in traumatic and self-destructive situations that caused behaviors and substances that led her to some very dark places. She shares the personal work she's done and how she one had an epiphany on her yoga mat one day and made the literal choice to love herself and give up the self-abusive  ways she had adopted. Through this choice alone she began to truly heal herself, which has empowered her to be a huge support for those who are faced with similar types of abuse.
