Reward: The Podcast of The Trust®

These days, it seems the world is doing its best to pull us out of our center. And as business leaders, we are constantly pulled to work on the external. But today’s guest says the key to elevating our business to higher levels means tuning INTO our highest self, not running from it.

Makhosi Nejeser is a spiritual teacher and ‘executive consciousness coach’ dedicated to empowering female leaders to reach back into their divine purpose and magic, in a world where it feels nearly forbidden. She combines the essence of feminine energy with wealth and inner work, equipping leaders to navigate both personal and professional landscapes with grace and authenticity (Sign us up!).

In this episode of Reward, host Ali Brown sits down with Trust member Makhosi to unpack what it really means to achieve authenticity, wealth, and fulfillment – without losing your head (or heart) in the process. If you’re feeling the burn of these intense times and seeking to align your professional goals with a deeper sense of purpose and clarity, this episode is full of real insight you won't want to miss!

DEI has been THE business buzzword for the last few years, but there’s also been backlash. So is it on the way out? Or here to stay? Rhonda Moret of Elevated Diversity discusses the issues affecting today’s organizations, and how her approach to DEI is still winning strong… with repeat clients like CBS and the Department of Homeland Security.  

When Rhonda started her career decades ago in the high-paced world of advertising, she quickly found herself as one of the few women—and often the only woman of color—in the boardrooms of the golf industry. She used those firsthand experiences to shape her custom approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion. While there are other programs that get it wrong, she’s seen the incredible power that comes when companies get DEI right—when they stop treating it like a checkbox and start using it to truly connect people.

In this episode of REWARD, The Trust founder Ali Brown connects with our member Rhonda to explore the reality of leading at the highest levels, and how the concept of inclusion can take your mission to new heights.

Even at the higher levels, women often still find themselves trapped again and again in the relentless cycle of financial pressure. It’s true that the journey to business growth and financial freedom isn’t a cake walk. But… what if the true path to abundance was learning and allowing ourselves to relax? (Hmm… sign us up!) 

Kate Northrup – entrepreneur, author of ‘Do Less’, and leader of the Relaxed Money revolution, is no stranger to the money stress loop.

Now, Kate leads entrepreneurs through pathways toward financial abundance through the integration of self-care, emotional intelligence, and revolutionary business practices – all while exploring the very loops that keep us ensnared in financial stress.

By now you know taking care of YOU is a priority that should be fiercely protected. Yet you also know (all too well) that it is easy for women entrepreneurs to overlook the pressing need for balance and self-care. But what happens when complete well-being becomes a cornerstone of your business model? 

With a career spanning over four decades, Jean Kristensen has mastered the art of turning diversity into opportunity. Early on, she led her family's security guard business to corporate success. Today she focuses on her business that unites local, diverse suppliers with government agencies and major corporations. (She’ll share on today’s show how there is currently HUGE opportunity for women owned small businesses to play in that space!) But beyond the contracts, Jean's narrative reveals a heart aligned with wellness and authentic leadership.

In this episode of Reward, The Trust founder Ali Brown sits down with our member Jean to discuss aligning purpose, prioritizing health, and the power of embracing corporate relationships to cultivate stability, longevity, and meaningful impact in both life and business. If you’ve ever grappled with balancing ambition and well-being, this conversation is the answer you've been searching for.

Want to hear a secret? Sometimes the masterpiece of business is a paint-by-*number*. While most women are generally great ‘earners’ as business owners – it’s time to shift focus well beyond the balance sheet and into creating a scalable, valuable ASSET that could not only be sold at some point, but benefit generations to come. 

For Andrea Jenson, founder + CEO of The Cash Flow CFO, curating powerful financials comes like second nature. As a fourth-generation entrepreneur, she developed a knack for decoding financial statements early on, viewing them as storytelling canvases that reveal the past, present, and future of a business. Now, her company helps business owners master financial clarity and gain strategic foresight just like the big companies do, to build value and make smarter decisions that can pay off in a huge way. 

In this episode of REWARD, The Trust founder Ali Brown sits down with our member Andrea to explore how mastering your numbers (and getting help to do so) is the key to growing your business into the asset you dreamed. You won't want to miss this episode to unlock untapped potential within your business!

Physicians are just supposed to save lives, not take time to build businesses, right? For Nigerian-raised Dr. Nneka Unachukwu, the answer to that question was never as cut and dry as the medical world made it seem. To her, as a doctor, you're already running your own show, 'Dr. You, Incorporated,' whether you know it or not. And now she helps thousands of other physicians with her company EntreMD. 

After noticing the fast-changes in healthcare and seeing so many physicians walk away from their stressful practices, Nneka claimed a towering mission: To coach and lift 100,000 physicians to build thriving, impactful businesses for the good of all. Defying the conventional path laid out for medical professionals, she transformed her calling for health care into a greater mission of empowering doctors worldwide.

In this episode of REWARD, The Trust founder Ali Brown sits down with our member Dr. Nneka to delve into the combination of raw purpose, authentic growth, and the unshakable resolve to change the way we look at physicians as entrepreneurs. This episode is NOT one to miss!

In our new-media-driven world, the pressure is constantly on to be “camera ready” and create that perfect reel or live. And that feeling is exactly what drives many impact-driven women away from being more visible via video. But what if instead of trying to curate your most perfect online persona, you instead express your most authentic self to your audience that is craving it?

That’s exactly what drove Keri Murphy to create her company that generates the impact it does. Her mission is twofold: to help women articulate their unique messages and to advocate for their personal evolution. Drawing from her background as a seasoned television personality, she and her team specialize in helping entrepreneurs leverage video to build influential brands.

In this episode of Reward, The Trust founder Ali Brown sits down with our member Keri to discuss the essentials of impactful video content for the modern female entrepreneur … and all the reasons why you no longer have to resist it. (Even when you have to deal with the haters.)

When was the last time you felt a profound call to action— so compelling that it felt divinely inspired? For many, that inner directive is a whisper, but for Dr. Danyelle Harmon, it was a roar. 

With a powerful journey from a chaotic upbringing to becoming an Inc. 5000 CEO, Darnyelle discovered her purpose early on: Using WORDS to change lives. From a successful corporate career to running her own Mary Kay business, she transitioned to entrepreneurship, founding Incredible One Enterprises – a multi-million dollar coaching and consulting brand helping entrepreneurs make their first millions.  And as you’ll hear on this interview, Danyelle's new book Move to Millions isn't just a message; it's a movement. 

In this episode of Reward, The Trust founder Ali Brown sits down with our member Darnyelle to discuss how the road of success for women at this level is now more intimate than ever before. It is now one full of tremendous faith, perseverance, and the pursuit of a graceful path to success.

The most successful entrepreneurs almost appear to have a sixth sense of predicting the future. Breakthrough ideas take a certain amount of foresight and (dare we say it) delusion to succeed in predicting the next big thing.  (Because you need to believe what may not be “true” now… before the world catches up.) 

For designer Rebecca Minkoff – that sixth sense came instinctively. And then her big breakthrough in the early 2000s was actress Jenna Elfman wearing a distinctly Minkoff-designed tee on a late-night TV appearance. The rest was history. 

Rebecca is a luminary in the world of fashion, synonymous with accessible luxury, her edgy designs and innovative business strategies have taken her namesake brand to incredible reach and revenues. She is not only the co-founder and creative force behind the globally recognized brand Rebecca Minkoff, but also a passionate advocate for women in business via her Female Founder Collective.

BIG NEWS: We’re excited to have Rebecca joining us as our Special Guest Advisor for The Trust, spending an entire morning with us at our Official Spring Meeting happening in Naples, Florida on March 5+6, 2024. (Psssst – will you be with us? Why not? Join us in time to be there – learn more at  JoinTheTrust.org.) 

In the meantime, don’t miss this EXCLUSIVE interview with Rebecca right here on Reward with The Trust founder Ali Brown.
