What if you were a white kid who didn’t seem to fit in anywhere? At home you were the one who could never get it together and at school you were the illiterate one, the drop out or the troublemaker?  Steven Rifkind, 57-year old, Godfather of street team marketing and American music entrepreneur, was THAT kid, until a conversation with his grandfather changed his trajectory and sent him down a path toward a successful life in the world of hip-hop music. A world where despite being the only one in the room that always LOOKED different, Steven finally fit in. But what if after building your music empire, you lost everything? And you suddenly found yourself on the outside again, hoping desperately to continue doing the one thing that spoke to your soul and made you feel like you belonged? Would you decide to switch gears and choose a new career path, where you wouldn’t look like the outsider? Or would you stay with the familiar and do the most to revive the life and career that you loved?

Who didn’t love “Ducky” from the John Hughes classic, Pretty In Pink? Or Charlie Harper’s lovable but uptight brother, Alan from the long-running, mega-hit CBS television series, Two and A Half men?  Jon Cryer, Emmy-winning actor, screenwriter, director, and producer was looking forward to slowing down a little when his show ended after it’s twelve record-breaking season-run, so he could spend time with his family, pay better attention to politics and catch up on the true crime podcasts that he and his wife, Lisa loved to listen to, together. But what would you do if, one day, a Tweet you sent to the producer of your favorite podcast, resulted in an offer to join them in the fight against wrongful convictions? Would you take the offer and put yourself out there in a world that might not take a “serious” Jon Cryer seriously? Or would you play it safe and stay in your lane, and leave the crime fighting to the so-called experts?

What if the world told you that you were wrong? Not just wrong for the things you thought or said but that you were the actual embodiment of wrong. D'Loco Kid or D'Lo grew up in a small, immigrant community in a Los Angeles suburb. And he knew from an early age that he wasn't like other girls but he never had the language to explain how he felt. What would you do if you only had two choices: live inauthentically in an attempt to keep everyone "happy" or live in your truth and risk becoming an outcast?

Imagine that completing your degree was a double edged sword? Getting your doctorate might be the crowning achievement for a single mother from Compton, California, but earning your PHd would also put you in rooms where black women had never gone before. Rooms where, even in the new millennium, you might not be wanted or where your voice and opinion might not be valued. Dr. Sharoni Little, CEO, revered thought-leader, global facilitator, media commentator, data analytics expert, author, renowned scholar and professor at the USC Marshall School of Business, put her education aside at age 35, when her twin sons, Jaren and Jared were born. But what would you do if the degree you’d stopped pursuing had an expiration date? And if you didn’t drop everything and complete one final dissertation, all the hard work you’d done and the sacrifices you’d made would have been for nothing. Would you stop your life and make your deadline? Or would you pass, deciding it was better to leave well enough alone?
