Hey everybody,

It's been a long time coming, but I now feel that it's time to get back in the swing of things.

It feels good to be back, and I'm so excited to continue my journey of meeting local businesses owners and artists, sharing some great tips for business, and really empowering you with the leadership skills that will help you grow your relationships and build your network.

Stay tuned for more to come in 2025. Thank you for your support.

Welcome to another episode of IMWK! 

There is one word that has been buzzing through the news the last few months, a word other than 'pandemic' or 'coronavirus'...that's right we are talking about 'crypto' or professionally known as Cryptocurrency.

In this episode, I give my best attempt to take the 'tech heavy' verbiage of cryptocurrency out, and break down the basics of what it is, how it works, and why it's important.  This isn't an episode recommending which crypto to invest in, and I am not affiliated with any currencies.  My hope is that I bring clarity to what cryptocurrency is and how it can be useful in the future.

Thank you for stopping by, and I'll see you next week.

For those of you that don't know, May is national Mental Health Awareness month.  Mental Health Awareness Month brings attention to how important mental health is, how poor mental health can impact you and your family, and also brings awareness to tools and strategies to achieve a health mental well being. 

The call to action in this episode is to really find your joy.  Take a deep dive into your current situation, and really start to analyze if you're surrounded by joy, or maybe it's time to change your scenery.  According to nami.org, "depression is a leading cause to disability worldwide."  Now, more than ever, is the time we fight for our space to create and have joy.  Without joy, you may never feel the full purpose of you life.  Blessings!

Welcome IMWK community!

We are rounding out National Financial Literacy Month!  We've had great conversations about being 'empowered' to take control of your finances with Eva Palacios.  We've tasked ourselves with taking an inventory of our skillset to identify whether we are a 'manager' or a 'leader.'  To finish with a bang, it's only right that I brought Kenyatta Banks from the dynamic Arsenal workout program.

Kenyatta takes us on a journey on how he got started with fitness.  As the story's told, it wasn't always easy, and many challenges had to be conquered, some were even life threatening.  Mr. Arsenal even covers his journey to becoming a Vegan.  Together, we analyze how finances also have an impact on our health.

We go over some of the ways of how finances heavily impact your health.  Not just in the physical, but the mental as well.  Hear how Kenyatta weight in on some of theses issues, leaving us with pure motivation and a way forward.

I would like to thank you for stopping by.  You can support the Arsenal movement by clicking the link below.  You can also support this show by clicking the link 'Buy Me a Coffee.'  Till' next time IMWK community!  T Lock out!

Happy Friday to all.  Thank you for stopping by!  Welcome to another episode of Inquiring Minds Wanna Know!

Today, it's just me speaking to you guys!  I cover the topic of Leadership vs Management.  I took on the challenge of trying to shape and give vision to how it applies to all parts of life, business and personal. 

Take a listen while I leverage an article put out by smarp.com, explaining the differences of leadership and management, and how we should take a step back and assess our strengths.  It's time we start inward, and let the leaders lead, and the managers execute.

It's National Financial Literacy Month!

For those of you that don't know, financial health and literacy is very dear to me.  I've seen the tribulations individuals and families endured due to lack of educated financial decisions.  Businesses wiped away as they lacked preparation for a downturn in their business.  People being denied credit as they never took the necessary steps to position themselves to leverage credit in a time of emergency.

Here are some shocking stats.  According to Spendmenot.com, in America:

1. Only 24% of Millenials demonstrate basic financial literacy
2. The lack of financial literacy cost Americans $415 billion in 2020
3. Just over 70% of American's retirement plan is to keep working

This is why I'm so excited to have my amazing guest, the 'credit boss,' Eva Palacios from Empower You!  Eva has been in the financial game for over 20 years, and you don't want to miss the gems she drops in this episode.  We cover why its important to budget, how you can bring your goals to life by having a vision board, and how credit plays a role in your financial health.

Welcome back IMWK community!

For those of you that doesn't know, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is one of my favorite shows of all time, and it's streaming now on HBO Max.  So, of course I had to binge watch it from start to finish.  One fo the episodes that stood out, was the one with Carlton accidentally takes drugs from Will's locker.  In thinking that it was just vitamin E, Carlton overdoses on what later is known as speed.  Even though Will never had the intent to take these drugs, his family was still impacted by his decision to allow drugs in his life, even without taking him.

This brings up the question "do you think YOU make an impact?"  Listen in on thoughts about the show, and how I think it sends a great message to who we allow in our lives, and the responsibility we have to be a leader in our own social circles.

See you guys next time!
