With midterms, media appearances, spring break and speaking opps upon me, we throw it back to episode 13 with Jason Caston, founder of Composio.co...a platform to make self publishing a cinch.  Many many gems dropped on this episode.  Take a listen.  See you LIVE on Linkedin next Tuesday!

She is the quiet storm behind some of the biggest multicultural integrated marketing and communications programs on the planet and what’s more she is my sisterfriend! She is an adjunct Professor at DePaul University and the creator and host of the @firstsoverforty (https://www.instagram.com/firstsoverforty/) podcast and she is a storyteller #fortheculture (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/fortheculture/). We talk about the importance of multicultural marketing, developing your cultural intelligence, appropriation, @tiktok (https://www.instagram.com/tiktok/) and so much more.

We are throwing it back to Episode 30.  Seems like lightyears ago, but there’s still money on Facebook.  Have you found it yet?  Folks swear by the FB groups.  Learn how to build your own FB Group funnel with small business expert Bella Vasta.  She's been known to make a smooth 10K in less than two weeks with different techniques.  Also find out how the word NO is fuel for the real go-getters out there.  Are you one?  This #ThrowbackThursday is brought to you by NSC Coaching because I just turned in my coaching graduation packet and I’m celebrating this milestone!

Some guests don’t need an introduction, but they definitely deserve your attention. My conversationwith Rock N Roll Hall of Famer, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award Winner , hip hop legend, adoring husband Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons and his lovely wife Justine Simmons is so awesome! We will talk about their new book #OldSchoolLove. It’s exactly what this world needs today. I know I am looking forward to it. These are my friends—-heck, I consider them extended family—but I’m so blessed that they are taking time out of their busy, busy schedule and book tour to come on my show. Tune in for this wonderful chat with one of the entertainment world’s most incredible couples.

We're throwing it back to last summer when I spoke with former Baltimore Raven standout Jacoby Jones who is now pouring into the young men at Lane College, an HBCU in Jackson, Tennessee.  It's his alma mater, and its a great full-circle story.

Today's topic is employee advocacy and how to make it work together with your personal brand. Many times the two clash, so we'll have some insights for the brands that are trying to leverage the concepts and the leaders who are trying to build their brands simultaneously.

Because there are times in life when you probably actually need therapy, but you simply call a friend to talk it out.  Whew!  This moment in time is one of them.  I have political pundit Matt Stevens on.  He's a YouTuber, but more importantly, he's my friend of more than 14 years.  He tries to help me untangle what on EARTH is happening in our country.
 
May the force be with you.

ARE YOU EMPOWERED SPIRITUALLY? Yes, I know that is a personal question, but being spiritually grounded is the key to success. It forces you to answer some key questions: what do you believe? It even reveals questions about your identity your value and ultimately your purpose. Well, I’m bringing on a fellow entrepreneur and coach to talk about her powerful story—- her journey from modest means to being one of the most influential women on the Internet and TV, with a bit of a stop on @bravotv (https://www.instagram.com/bravotv/) . You thought you recognized her, didn’t you? Yes, she is a season one cast member of @realhousewivesdallas (https://www.instagram.com/realhousewivesdallas/), and you will be overwhelmed by her positivity, her grit, her faith and her mission. @tiffanyhendra (https://www.instagram.com/tiffanyhendra/) and I made fast friends last fall as we shared the stage at #StyleCON (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/stylecon/) @stylecongirl (https://www.instagram.com/stylecongirl/) in Dallas. And when I tell you like minds and hearts find each other? We did just that. I want my global @theculturesoup (https://www.instagram.com/theculturesoup/) community to meet her. Be inspired. Be empowered. It’s happening Thursday. #tech (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/tech/) #culture (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/culture/) #business (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/business/)
