A big part of connecting with one another in a meaningful way is to give AND to receive. We hope you receive our stories as we answer some questions that have come our way. Kory talks about not being a hopeless romantic because there isn't such a thing... hmmmm? He also talks about experiencing love and part of being true and ready is the ability to receive. GentheBuilder recalls the dynamics of being a blended family; being overzealous in trying to connect with people from the initial meeting while Kory reminds her that there are a lot of good people out there but not all of them are good. This is real talk with real people - Kory and GentheBuilder. Look up and let's elevate!

Real talk for real people as we figure out how to show up for one another, how to have deep and meaningful conversations, and how to be inclusive and accomodating to all.

This is part 2 of our elevator ride with Phaedra Ellis Lamkins who shares stories about being shamed for being broken in a broken system while growing up. These experiences gave her the motivation, the drive, and the will to manifest in her purpose - helping the poor, feeding children, finding solutions in a system that seems hopeless for those in it. This ride will take you to different places as it did us. We realize wholeheartedly that without struggle, there is no progress; wiithout motivation, there is no purpose. It was pure joy being able to spend some time with Phaedra - hope you enjoy it and that you are elevated as we Take the Elevator!

We invite you to take this elevator ride (part 1) with Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins, the co-founder and CEO at Promise. She has been an advocate and a voice for the people; a creative force with solutions to focus on people first.  In addition, Phaedra is the step-mom to GentheBuilder's children and these two women take pride in who they are as wives, mothers, family, and friends to those in their tribes. Today's podcast is spearheaded by Kory as he learns more about the courts and bail system. He shares a story regarding child support and how he faced the system that was set up to make it almost impossible to come out on top. Please tune in to the beginning of this powerful two-parter. We are definitely looking up and elevating on this ride.

Take a Ride on this Simply Powerful Elevator. Susan's story shared in less than 30 minutes on this podcast has so many moments where she bestows wisdom learned throughout her life. Listen to how she had her eyes set on the same destination even while having to take another route.  We love how she does not complicate anything; focuses her energy on things that she controls; and refuses to get mixed up in all the extra. Susan's purpose in life is evident and she answers that call everyday. Here's to Women -  Elevated Everywhere!

Please take this ride on the elevator with Michelle and Jully who are phenomenal women who successfully manage a career, prioritize their marriages and cherish the gift of motherhood, AND play with power tools.

Take the Elevator has elevated in its soft opening and wanted to close the first 60 days with clarity on what the podcast is about. In this session, we challenge some of the status quo and provide our insight into concepts like "transparent" and "vulnerable" - and dive a little deeper into "influencers" and the preference for being Elevators. Please celebrate with us as we leave the soft ride into the grand ride starting in August. We have hit about 1300 downloads and are looking up to elevate on the next go around.
