Additionally, Adam provides valuable advice on maintaining good health through community engagement, sufficient sleep, regular exercise, and taking time to rest.

For #29DaysofMagic today I have an amazing conversation with Nikeisha Beckford, office lead for VMLY&R in detroit. We talk about her life and times being from Jamaica moving to America for what was initially going to be 3 years, and how she's still living here 30 years later. Nikeisha shares about how being intentionally relational, being a servant leader helps make people feel like they belong. Nikeisha shares about what it looks like to be a true servant leader, the huge importance of having people who have your back, and Detroit Experience Studio! Nikeisha would like you to genuinely take a step back and make sure you are putting people at the center of what you do!

Today I am so excited to have Akilah Scharff-Teoh, Founder of the Life Force Unit, on the podcast for #29DaysofMagic! We chat about her working as a telemarketer, selling home improvements and re-financing as a 14 year old! Akilah shares about how much more difficult it is to make something happen in a highly bureaucratic environment and once you can run a $2 million project you can run your own business. We discuss why building teams with equity in mind from day one is much more sustainable. We talk about how crazy it is that many of the commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion during 2020 seem to have gone away. We chat about how important it is to bring people with you as you are going along, there is no standing alone atop a mountain!
Akilah would like you to examine your assumptions when interacting with other people.

I am so excited to have Christina Bryan, the Chief of Staff at a Nonprofit, on the podcast for today's episode of #29DaysofMagic! We talk about what her first job at McDonald's was, and how it was that she worked at all of the roles at McDonald's, where she absolutely had the best time! We discuss how making mistakes and failing is not the end, and how things won't always be easy there will be some dirtiness and that is necessary to move forward. We bond over being event people, the challenges of curating events and the benefits. Christina would like to give this piece of advice, "I will not engage in any partnerships or friendships with any one who prioritizes money, wealth, and or status over passion, service to others, and kindness..." which is a promise she made to herself, and has found great success in keeping it.
Look out for Christina's upcoming book about failure.

I am absolutely delighted to have Sharese Bullock-Bailey, Urbanworld Foundation Inc., Chief Innovation Officer & Founder of Overstand. We talk about how Sharese got her first job for a woman entrepreneur at age 14, and at the same time got to start her first internship at 14. We talk about how important finance can be, and how Sharese has been working to help young and emerging artists and story tellers.

I am so delighted that on this episode of #29DaysofMagic I get to have a chat with Bria Washington, Manager, Sports Marketing at The Coca-Cola Company. We talk about her story going from almost pro soccer player, to sales, all the way to where she is now. We talk about how Bria's first female boss helped her so much navigate what she was doing. Bria shares about how she got to be involved in helping Coca-Cola bring about sustainability with Atlanta United and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. We talk about the great advice Bria got from her dad that she shouldn't settle. We talk about the delicate balance that arise from the stress of there being only so much room for women at the top of businesses, while wanting to be able to not be stunted or stopped from growing, how black women want to not just exist or survive, but we want to be seen, and heard and valued, and yet not wanting to burn bridges unnecessarily. We talk about not taking trauma with you, and not doing the bad that happened to you to those that are coming after you. We talk about how life doesn't end at age 22, and so much more!
Bria would like to ask you to make time to give back to the younger generation that is reaching for help.

Welcome to today's amazing episode with Shara McHayle, Co-founder and President at Hoop88Dreams. Shara shares stories of how she started from a young age being an entrepreneur, first by ironing jeans for other people, and then went to make lollipops that she sold at school. We talk about how she helped pioneer the first global statement driven, and street wear clothing. We talk about how when Shara joined PNB Nation she grew the brand from $150,00 to about $2.1 Million, and how they had to go get partnerships so that they could fulfill their orders. We discuss how important it is to own what we create, specifically highlighting bamboo earrings, and how while we love Sex and The City, it was that hoop earrings were originated from hip hop community, and even further back to Africa where they are an identifier of wealth and power and influence. We discuss how messed up it was that 30 years ago the black community would be changing the fashion game, but not getting rewarded for it, but instead having to pay for it. There have been so many things that we as a culture have created but have given away. As Black women, it is so important to be vulnerable and be able to say, "We are not superwoman, we didn't come from Krypton,"
"Let us know our history, so we can be better human beings moving forward," - Shara McHayle

We talk about how you gotta do what makes you happy, otherwise you'll be miserable, and everyone around you will be unhappy, and it's okay to not have everything figured out when you're 20 years old. We talk about how everyone has struggles, even gen-Z's, and how amazing it is that they have the agency to speak about struggles which really helps us change the world!

Welcome to today's episode with Marisa Renee Lee a writer, speaker, and entrepreneur. We talk about her first job, which was where she started her own business around babysitting around the age of 12! Marisa worked for 11+ years helping put herself through college doing childcare related activities! We talk about how she took a year off right after spending so much time learning at Harvard to help out her parents as her mom was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She got to spend a lot of time working in politics, and helped with My Brother's Keeper Alliance, and through all of that she was able to write a book about grief from her individual life, and how to live with loss. Grief is not just a single moment in time, it is the repeated experience of learning to live in the midst of a significant loss. We talk about how the reason you grieve is because you loved. We talk about where healing begins, and letting go of a lot of the judgement that comes in the midst of grieving. We talk about healing journeys, and so much more!
We talk about how "No" is an entire sentence.

We talk about his having really great bosses at PMI which helped him become more and better, and how everyone needs that.

We talk about 3 things Tom has learned in his move:
-
If you want to truly mobilize an organization you need to show the way by example.
-
You are better off if you teach people how to fish, instead of giving them fish.
-
If you want to change entrenched opinions you need to embrace resilience and repetition.
When you see positive change give it a chance.
Tom would like you to remember if you really want to do something, you can do it.

We talk about the issues behind actually improving diversity and inclusion for recruiters, what's going on with HBC, and then retention issues with companies working on D&I.

We talk about how we need to solve the issue of the lack of training, and actually doing organizational investment in younger professionals. Give people good resources to prove themselves. Look out to see if your brand responds negatively to you building your personal brand, or your personal success, that organization is toxic and you must move on quickly. The importance of seeking to invest one on one with others. Acknowledge and fill in the gaps in your network.

We talk about how she was able to become the first Adult Brand that was permitted on Kickstarter, which was influential for the future of Kickstarer. We get to talk about how self care is important, and the definition of pleasure in that it is broader than most people think and is about how you experience things. We talk about the differences between coping and pleasure. Boundaries are the best form of self care, which is to say, know how to say "no," to things you don't want to do. Lidia would like you to practice saying "No" for five days, when it feels right, and see how that changes your life.
