Welcome to the Big Kat Lounge Episode 49 with Clem Okpalogu 🇦🇺

Today's guest comes from Queensland, Mackay, Australia where he works as a shift supervisor at Mackay Sugar, the 2nd largest sugar milling company in Australia where he is a polymer engineer.

Some of our topics we touched upon were Clem's transition from Nigeria to Australia where he made a move out of his comfort zone to take on a new adventure. He’s been living there for 13 years now.

Polymer engineering is a field where you can truly diversify your skillset and pivot into a variety of areas. 

We talked about sugar & food processing, chemical engineering, the importance of setting objectives, sugar slack season, cultivation period, leadership skills, role of being a plant production supervisor, and much more.

When it comes to achieving results one must have a 3-5 year vision of planning into the future especially when it comes to large scale production.

The first evidence of dairy consumption dates back over six thousand years, and today dairy products are enjoyed all over the world.

Welcome to the Big Kat Lounge Podcast Episode 48 with Nick Rotich 🏦

Today's guest comes from the Greater Phoenix area where he is pursuing his Masters in Strategic Analytics.

He's a big data enthusiastist, an immigrant from Kenya, a father and husband always looking for new ways to accel at new challenges that he encounters. He moved to the USA without knowing people and is always open for networking opportunities to learn from others. Nick and I met during our time at Credit Suisse back in North Carolina. 

Some of our discussions touched upon the opportunities that we all have in this world where we can meet new people and make a living. The USA is a melting pot for entrepreneurial skills, and you can really see the results through hard work. We all have the tools and resources around us it’s just being able to continuously learn, network and maximize the time by connecting with the right people, pivoting with various roles and tasks we have to perform throughout our lives.

LinkedIn made connecting with people a lot easier like as if you know them. If you are looking for a company or role you can learn so much just by going through their page and reading upon posts.

80% data preparation & 20% is focused towards analytics in most large institutions.

There are so many different tools out there for us to learn but Microsoft Excel is basics first to be able to learn other complex tools. Large institutions are still spending a lot of their efforts in excel, so if you can understand the basics of excel it helps you to have a line of thought when it comes to learning Tableau, Microsoft BI or any other complex tools. The importance on how to manipulate data with pivot tables, & presentation views is key for storyboarding and being able to sort through data quickly. When you have an excel base you can learn the other tools.

Welcome to the Big Kat Lounge Podcast Episode 45 with Mama Epps 😌🍃

Today's guest comes from Wisconsin where she is the CEO G&L Wellness for Hemp Sisters & Hemp Sisters Nation.

Her vision is to bring people together, network & educate the world about the misunderstanding of the hemp plant on the planet. She gave up her career for this plant, she will spend the rest of her days educating the world about it’s use. She was forced to resign from teaching high school health outside of Chicago for refusing to teach cannabis propaganda. 

It’s her mission with blogs and podcasts to teach what’s going on. There is still a stigma associated with the hemp plant - cbd vs thc endocannabinoid system, a lot of propaganda...there is significant change coming and we will continue to grow. Below are some of the topics we touched upon:

States that still frown upon CBD and the need for a doctor's note even though the farm bill was passed 3 years ago.

We have to keep up with the ever changing regulations, which is extremely difficult in a country full of uncertainty. 

The latest news was vape supplies being shipped may be banned by the United States Postal Service.

There are strict compliance and business practices that need to be met to ensure we are in line with what the rest of the world is doing. Having more lab tests, to know what chemicals are in there.

Tests are yielding different results illegal vs legal.

Mama Epps is a trusted cannabis industry leader for over a decade providing educational content and it was a pleasure having her on the Big Kat Lounge podcast.

Welcome to the Big Kat Lounge Podcast Episode 43 with Clinton Walker 🔐

Today's guest comes from Nottingham, England, United Kingdom where he is a Cybersecurity management expert, board member, entrepreneur, restauranteur, facilitator, mentor, host of TalkInfoSec podcast where he talks about all things information security and much more. 

In this day and age there is a lack of awareness with cyber security and being proactive helps tremendously before a breach occurs. We can educate people, but if it never happens to them with experiencing a breach they push it aside, as the mentality is on immediately getting your job done.

Hacking is a numbers game, knowing the different types of controls, it's not a matter of if, it’s when it comes public. Operate as if you have been breached. There are so many that occur daily until it hits the headlines.

Hackers are harvesting our data and constantly finding new ways to use it against us. Awareness brings clarity and actionable intel. There are a lot of tools we have to monitor traffic on our network or systems.

This episode was a lot of fun to gain further insight into various areas of cybersecurity. We look forward to having Clinton Walker on the show again in the future.

Welcome to the Big Kat Lounge Podcast Episode 42 with Abi Jhangir 🏛️

Today's guest comes from the Northern Virginia area where he recently transitioned from working corporate to now the U.S. government.

Some of our conversations ranged from education, financial literacy, real estate, 2021 initiatives, the need for certifications, experiences, investments, importance of having side hustles, new passion for smoking meats, deep catching up on life and much more. 

Abi has learned a lot about the different types of BBQ, wood, favorite cuts of meat and overall smoking process required to make briskets.

"No one has a defined path or the keys. You have to have mistakes in order to achieve results. You learn from someone else’s setback and now you can reflect to fine tune yourself to success."

What is tomorrow going to bring you? It's never too late to invest in your long term growth and future mindset. 

It was fun having Abi on the show where he provided his perspective on a variety of serious topics. 

We look forward to having a Big Kat Lounge reunion with a future panel session. Abi may come on the show in future episodes to perform some standup, so stay tuned 🐆🐅🐈🎙

Welcome to the Big Kat Lounge Podcast Episode 40 with Sabrina Diaz💡🏠

Today’s guest comes from Hollywood, Florida. She is the co-writer of Keep Going - a book collaboration of 8 women who share their memoirs on strength, courage, and perseverance.

Her daily goal is to dissolve the space between us as we create common ground and more reasons to see the good in each other. She is fully bilingual in English and Spanish with the awareness to tailor campaigns and increase profit in an integrative and rapidly changing world.

Our conversations ranged from pageants, talking about enjoying the process, the journey, importance of communication, who she was and who she was going to become, collaborating with new people, co-writing a book, spirituality, being transparent, worth is not bought, it’s good to make healthy choices, but it’s about that 1 on 1 self with our faith and GOD, nature & beauty around us.

Writing has really saved Sabrina, as it helped her identify many things in herself that she wouldn’t identify otherwise. Sabrina discovered "authenticity that didn’t rely on her looks, whether she had makeup on or not, any physical aspect, it relied upon what her emotions were and what she was allowing to say to herself, the raw and authentic unfiltered version. When we can live from this space it’s the most liberating and fulfilled."

We enjoyed having Sabrina on the Big Kat Lounge Podcast and look forward to having her on in the future.
