Atiyah McDaniels dropped out of college three times. The first time, she went for fashion designing. The second time, she went for business.  The third time, she went for communications. It just wasn't for her.  

Literally 2 months after dropping out the last time, she had already started her hair business. People would always ask her where she would get her hair extensions from and thought that people should definitely pay her for it.  

She set herself apart by creating a professional, upscale and chic brand right from the beginning.  She used her sales skills to bring in revenue and by the end of the first year, she grew over 6 figures.  

She's not only in the hair business, but she's also mentoring young entrepreneurs on how to start and grow their business. 

I love Atiyah's story because she took her life into her own hands.  Most of us don't realize it until we're $30k in debt. If you're out there looking for a different path, or you're feeling like the life you're living isn't for you, you'll love this episode!

Have you ever found yourself having conversations so deep with friends and family that you thought someone else should hear the conversation? Do you have strong opinions about specific topics and want your voice to be heard? Are you a professional that wants to tell the world about your profession and allow them to see it in a different light? Do you have a brand and want to reach more people?

If you answered yes to any of these, podcasting may be for you.

In this episode, I am helping you to figure out if podcasting is the best way to get your thoughts and opinions out into the world.

In this episode I discuss:

This week we replayed our episode with Shauntay Parrish of The Glam Kitchen who talks about getting laid off, to creating her food blog and everything in between. She used getting laid off as an opportunity to learn how to blog and demonstrate share her love of cooking to the world. Her blog took off.  That's how The Glam Kitchen was born. 

The Glam Kitchen is an online food blog inspiring millennials to be more comfortable in the kitchen.  If you already follow Shauntay, you know her food is mouth-watering!  It's been a labor of love for Shauntay, and she's grown it to over 71k followers on Instagram and has even catered for celebrities like Jess Hilarious.

Shaunte has always loved cooking and creating meals for her friends and family, but she never really thought that she could grow her brand into what it is today. Shaunte's story is so interesting because Food Entrepreneurship is quite new, and just starting to take off.

Sierra Howard of the I Don't Do Budgets Podcast talks about how she went from 9k in debt to secretly paying it all off. 

Sierra talks about how she started developing a really bad spending habit in college and how it got out of control.  It got to the point where she was actually embarrassed to talk to her partner about how much debt she was in. I'm so happy she talked about this because so many of us hide our debt in shame instead of bringing it out to light.  

Sierra took everything she learned and now helps people who are in a similar position as her get out of debt and grow their savings and investment portfolio.  

Then, she started the I Don't Do Budgets podcast to share stories, advice, and insight into how we look at money.  

Here's what we talk about: 

• How money is talked about in the Black Community 
• The moment she realized she needed to do something about her debt 
• How her experience has allowed her to make a business out of helping other people to get out of debt 
• Why Sierra doesn't do budgets
• How going into Sephora without a plan is always a
