Success is not dependent upon your position as head of the class, nor is it singularly related to being voted most likely to succeed. In fact, you can create significant success without a far-reaching vision - But you do have to dream and believe, and you do have to be willing to do what most won't.

That was the not-so-secret trick that our guest today, Former Obama White House Official and current CEO of Values Partnerships and Gauge, knew and practiced. He found success despite not being the most prolific performer in school and not being the biggest visionary to dream a dream. That fact is what makes today's episode so powerful. Joshua has a message for those who don't wake up every day feeling like the world is their oyster. Today's episode is powerful, so please tune in and let Joshua help guide you to your gift.

How do we change the criminal legal system for the better? We do it standing with, beside, and behind folks like Ilham Askia and Sarah Higinbotham as they charge up the hill and fight battles that we can't afford to lose. We do it by supporting the public defenders who represent 80% of the people fighting for freedom in the system. We do it by providing powerful education to system impacted folks. We do it by exposing the problems, operating in empathy, and remaining diligent to the cause. We do it together and expectant of positive change.

Today's hyper-dynamic episode was designed by While Black friend and past guest Winfield Murray and features two women dedicated to the space of criminal legal reform. TRUST ME when I say they laid this episode out. You will be made better by listening.... it was so good we decided to make it a two part episode.

Please listen closely to Ilham Askia of Gideons Promise and Sarah Higinbotham of Common Good Atlanta as they lay out perspectives, problems, and solutions that will challenge your ability to remain idle.

Surviving corporate America is best done with a dope friend group, some amazing stress management skills, and healthy doses of trained/professional help. Corporate can tear you apart and in many cases we help by believing that what we experience is normal or even a requirement for "the big bucks". If you are not careful our work lives can tear apart our entire lives and in some cases even end it.

Our guest this week, Kym Ali, has a story that will change your perception on how corporate America can impact your health and life. In Kym's case she experienced mental and physical impacts including heart attack that almost took her out. Thankfully, that wasn't the end of her story as a matter of fact in some ways it was the beginning and led to this amazing episode.

Pay close attention to this one and get to know Kym at her website - Kym Ali Consulting Firm (https://www.kymali.com/).

This is a preview of Power: Don King. Don King rose from a life of hardship and crime to become the most successful boxing promoter the sport has ever seen—the first Black man to do so. It was his own American Dream. Don’s flamboyant appearance, dizzying wit, and commanding personality made him a star in and out of the ring, as did his promotion of greats like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, and even America’s musical dynasty, the Jacksons. But his less than honest exploits? They made him legendary. Don King may have taken advantage of his fighters and burned a lot of bridges, but he always seemed to find another. Power: Don King, the third installment of Somethin’ Else’s Power series tells the story of one of entertainment’s most controversial figures. Hosted by Panama Jackson, this season asks: What does it take to get to the top and stay there in a sport famed for money and excess? Listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts.
