As a man when was the last time you took a ride on the emotional
roller coaster and really expressed your thoughts and feelings? According to data from Health science it shows
that expressing one’s emotions is healthy. However, 80% of males suppress their
emotions. Only 23% reported crying when feeling helpless whereas 58% of women
cried under similar circumstances. Women are five times more likely to cry and
for longer. They also live at least five years longer than males. For Andrew

November 28, 2023 Reducing the Social Distance Between Youth and Law Enforcement with Dr Everette B Penn
Relationship Capital is the ignitor to the flame of
difference when your attempting to establish a sense of allyship and understanding. When attempting to travel down a road less
travelled and connect with others. When
it comes to:
Trust in America: Do Americans trust the police? Here are some findings from the Pew Research
Center. The relationship between the public and police across the United States
was brought into sharp focus over the course of 2020 and 2021 following the
high-profile killings of several Black Americans by police, including George
Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and the worldwide protests that followed. The Center
reports only 10% of young black teens and adults believe they’ll be treated fairly
by police as compared to 18% of Hispanic youth and 16% of Asians who were asked
the same question. The highest level of
trust came from whites at a clip of 32%
Therefore, I am motivated to ask the question what’s the key to bridging
the gap and providing the police and the youth they serve with better camaraderie
between the two parties?
For some in depth answers to this very question I want to
tell you about the Teen And Police Service Academy. The Teen And Police Service
Academy (TAPS) was founded in 2011 by the late Chief Brian Lumpkin and
Criminologist, Dr. Everette Penn. At the time, the Houston Police Department
was granted funds to create a program that would enhance and build a more trusting
relationship between teens and police in Houston. Chief Lumpkin, Dr. Penn, and
Officer Mott took on this mission and worked collaboratively to build out the
TAPS Academy program. In the Spring of 2012, the first Teen And Police Service
Academy was launched at Beechnut Academy, a Houston Independent School District
alternative school. Data showed there were dramatic positive behavioral changes
between youth and police among those who participated in the program. Now, TAPS
Academy is a 501-C-3 non-profit organization and has expanded into more than 30
schools nationwide. A distinct component of the program is that TAPS
Academy-trained officers spearhead the lessons. Giving law enforcement and the
youth a unique chance to get to know each other on equal footing, in order to
exchange ideas and learn from each other while also learning an array of
life-building skills such as drug and alcohol prevention, conflict resolution,
the importance of mental health, safe driving, service learning and more.
Currently, TAPS Academy provides 5 programs: TAPS Academy, an 11-week
curriculum-based program, TEENPOL – a TEA-accredited class in Texas, TAPS
Clubs, Summer Leadership Workshops, and the SB-30 Community Safety Course.

Dr. Everette B. Penn is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the
Teen and Police Service (TAPS) Academy in Houston, Texas. TAPS Academy’s
mission is to bridge the gap between youth and police and reduce crime through
education, skill building, and service-learning TAPS Academy’s TeenPol program
is a Texas Education Agency approved curriculum which grants one high school
credit to students upon completion. TAPS Academy reaches over 1,500 youth
annually internationally. Dr. Penn
joined me this week to tell me more.

November 27, 2023 Bringing the Largest Tackle Sport Globally to a New American Fan with: Steve Ryan
The competitive nature of sports brings all together. Regardless of the background we originate from. As it relates to the sport of rugby there’s
never been a better time to grow the sport in America and globally too.
The 2023 figures paint a positive picture for community
rugby with the sport now played by 8.46 million players across 132 national
member unions, an increase of 11% over the 2022 levels. Emerging rugby nations
and women and girls are the major drivers of new growth for the game, according
to the Rugby World Cup.

The National Rugby Football League is evolving rugby to
shape the future of the sport internationally and in the U.S.
As a truly global year-round premium professional sport with
an evenly split male-female demographic, rugby has strong appeal and huge
market potential in America. The NRFL is positioned to be the preeminent sport
& entertainment rugby league globally by showcasing the best athletes on
the pitch, utilizing world-class stadiums, and creating unparalleled content
365 days a year to the biggest sports audience in the world. This is not just a chance to create a new
league - it’s a chance to create a whole new idea in American culture. We
believe rugby is an idea whose time has come in the U.S. - a sport that is
right in line with values like authenticity, sportsmanship, inclusion,
community. The NRFL’s foundation and ownership will be rooted in these values. Rugby
is played in over 120 countries with 877 million global followers and 9.1
million men, women and children regularly playing the game. Rugby in North
America is poised for a fully professional sports league due to the enormous
value and demand for premium content, availability of existing world-class
stadiums, large domestic contact sport fan base, a pool of untapped rugby
talent, and ethos and attributes of the sport.
Steve Ryan is the Managing Director at the National Rugby Football League,
and he joined me this week to tell me more.

to their mental health journey.
In
2021, around 12 percent of men in the United States received mental health
treatment or counseling in the past year, according to Statista. Meanwhile These
stigmas are real and deeply affect men as nearly 1 in 10 men experience
depression or anxiety but less than half will receive treatment and more than 4
times as many men as women die by suicide every year.
Symptoms
of mental illness differ in men from women the Anxiety Disorders Association of
America reports.

November 22, 2023 Increase Credibility and Authority Through Growth Marketing with: Carson Spitzke
intrinsic motivation coupled with ambition are two
fundamental qualities any young professional must possess if there interested
in igniting or accelerating their path towards prosperity. Today’s teens are thinking differently about
their future employment, and many have decided they don’t want to work for
anyone else. About 60% of teenagers are more interested in someday starting
their own business instead of working a traditional job, according to a March 1
survey from Junior Achievement USA. The survey of 1,000 teens aged 13 to 17 was
conducted online Dec. 16 to 22 by Wakefield Research. Nearly 2 in 5 teens
surveyed said their inspiration for entrepreneurship mostly comes from social
media influencers and celebrities. The survey also found that 45% of teens want
to learn the ropes from current business owners and 37% would be interested in
programs at or after school teaching entrepreneurship.

Carson Spitzke is the founder of Spitz
Solutions . Spitz Solutions use a mix of growth marketing, and public relations
to drive new leads and convert them into sales and clients with efficiency.
Their strategies are unorthodox and rely heavily on providing value to
journalists and clients (giving a free ad creative or a valuable backlink for
example) as the first step to turn someone who has never heard of them into a
client. Carson has worked with brands like TEDX, and various publicly traded
companies and is also an Amazon best-seller at the age of 21. He joined me this week to tell me more.

November 16, 2023 Providing Underfulfilled Overachievers Direction in and outside the workforce with: Lisa Pachence
As a female executive juggling a 9 to 5
and attempting to find the appropriate work life balance can be a challenge, if
you’re not skilled in effectively managing the prospects of your time. This can
especially be true if you consider yourself a classic overachiever.
According to a study co-authored by
Forbes and KPMG it finds 75% of female executives across industries have
experienced imposter syndrome in their careers, which is a feeling of
inadequacy and self-doubt that makes them continuously doubt if they are qualified
enough for the job.
Despite having education,
certifications, and training, it is hard for them to feel comfortable with who
they are and see their worth. Hence, they tend to work long hours to try to
prove themselves, are afraid to ask questions or ask for help, and may avoid
speaking up or asking for challenging jobs.
For Executive Leadership Coach Lisa
Pachence, she works with big-hearted, high-achievers who dream of leading big
lives and leaving big legacies without the big burnout. As an Elite Coach for
coaches, entrepreneurs, and executives, Lisa brings deep insights, practical
tactics, and masterful partnership to enact transformative life and business
changes. She is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), ICF Mentor Coach,
Speaker, Coach-Trainer, and founder of LP Coaching and Consulting, which offers
designer coaching to clients such as Google execs, start-up founders, and
entrepreneurs.
When she isn’t leading a coach-training
program, deep-diving with clients, or teaching a workshop, she’s traveling the
world with her husband (pre-2020), chasing her two cats, or hosting community
connection.
After only 7 years as an entrepreneur in
the Coaching Industry, I have reached Mastery-level certification and impact -
half the time it typically takes to obtain your Master Certified Coaching
credential. As a former high-level athlete and a recovering over-achiever, I
understand what it takes to perform and accomplish.
But after 10 years of personal
development, I now know and embody the Art of Achievement - the art of
following your heart, creating wealth, delivering impact, and expanding your
joy.
