Jaded 80s Baby

You know that feeling you get when you hear a new talent for the first time, and you feel like they have a ton of promise?

As they grow and get bigger, their success sort of feels like your success. You were checking for them before anybody knew who they were, so there’s an added sense of satisfaction as they grow.

You might get that feeling about my guest this week, Neosha. She's an up-and-coming singer/songwriter who's ready to make her mark on the industry...

You can learn a lot about a person by observing how they respond to adversity.

My guest this week is an author/rapper who was once sentenced to 24 years in federal prison. Rather than let that be the end of his story, he’s using his past experience as a tool to teach others and improve the community around him.

Through his books and his music, he’s working to help the next generation realize its full potential...

A lot of people like to talk about building up the community and helping others become the best version of themselves, and far too often, those words ring hollow. My guest this week is letting his actions speak for themselves. He’s written books, he offers free courses, and he travels the country speaking to anyone wise enough to listen to his message...

The pandemic has highlighted a laundry list of issues that we need to reflect on as a society. Right up near the top of that list is how we value teachers.

Who doesn’t love a good story? Every now and then, you stumble upon a story that can educate, inform, and entertain concurrently.

My guest this week is Yohance Salimu, and he has one of those stories. He’s here to promote his new book, Underprivileged Overachiever: A Compton Story. He’s also going to shed some light on his non-profit organization and what he’s doing to help kids who might be experiencing circumstances like he did growing up...

Brand recognition is of the utmost importance. If no one knows what you’re doing or that you even exist, it’s hard to make any money. More importantly, you have to know what type of image you want to project to the world and maintain authenticity at all times.

To tell us how to do that, the Co-founder and CEO of Masami, Lynn Power, stopped by to share from her 20+ years of marketing and brand-building experience...

Have you ever noticed that, at times, being creative is more difficult than it should be? How many times have you sat there waiting for that creative spark to ignite something magical, only to be greeted by deafeningly silent thoughts? Help is on the way!
