ONE TAKE with JESS

Gerald Henderson, of Detroit, has always educated the kids in his family about business literacy and even made them business owners of their own LLCs as early as 9 years old so they can learn first hand about running a business whether it was ordering inventory, following trends, forecasting, marketing, maintenance, reinvestment, etc. His approach is based on life lessons learned from his grandmother, his education, his experience, and his desire to keep learning and keep teaching. His roots run deep in Detroit and he recently purchased an entire city block representing his past and also representing his desire to help pave a better future for Detroit. Learning more about Gerald in this podcast was a treat and an inspiration. We often chat in our 10-15 person Clubhouse rooms related to confessions of an entrepreneur. I always look forward to Gerald's perspective on life, business, and our future generations. Hope you enjoy and are inspired as well. #podcast #entrepreneur #smallbusiness #detroit

Navigating the college admissions process has always been tricky but in today's world you can add the layers of social, political, and health concerns to that. Karin-Jill Schneider is an expert as a College Admissions Consultant for decades and breaks down all of the essentials helping parents and student traverse this terrain. We covered all topics including:

-- Standardized testing (SAT/ACT)

-- 'Test optional' or 'test blind' - what it really means to you when colleges/universities say they are 'test optional' or 'test blind'

-- The common app and the huge importance of THE ESSAY

-- The way college measure (and score) your level of interest based on you visiting schools remotely and/or in-person, opening emails, how quickly you open emails, etc.

-- Quotas - race, ethnicity, gender. The need for more transparency from colleges.

-- Social climate (liberal, conservative, etc.) of college not only factors into the students decision to go there but also factors into the admissions decision to even accept you in.

-- Setting a road map starting as early as middle school.

AND SOOO MUCH MORE!!

Passion for Fashion, Strong work ethic, and The Universe led Ali to PURPOSE, FAMILY, and COMMUNITY. One thing that stood out in our chat is how real Ali is. She wasn't always this way while she was trying to create her brand but after the birth of her first daughter and a bout of postpartum depression, she shifted into full authenticity mode showing the good, the bad, and the ugly. She celebrates successes and shares her struggles with her growing community on social media. She is very relatable as a mom, a wife, and a business woman. She has worked hard for everything she's achieved and continues to keep her world open to new inspiration and relationships that the universe sends her way. Mediation, journaling, self-care, and delegating are core to her work/life balance and mental health. Her husband Justin is supportive of her goals and is a wonderful dad. Follow Ali on social @alilevinedesign and listen to Ali's podcast "Everything with Ali Levine".
