You can build the business.
You can lead the team.
You can look successful on the outside…
And still be drowning in fear, anxiety, and quiet burnout.

Not success. The breakthrough began when she looked inward and confronted the belief that she wasn’t worthy of help, rest, or more.
If you’re in a career setback, leadership pressure, or midlife transition wondering why you feel exhausted even though you’re “doing everything right,” this episode is your reset.

Brandon Poor sheds light on the alarming prevalence of child exploitation, underlining that while not every child may be a victim, the problem is far more widespread than generally acknowledged. He emphasizes the stark contrast between traditional, hands-on abuse, often perpetrated by someone known to the child in their immediate environment, and the boundaryless reach of online exploitation, which often involves perpetrators unknown to the children they target. In the evolution of digital predation, sextortion has emerged as a perilous threat to which even children from stable, supportive families are vulnerable. The conversation further explores Poor's own experiences working undercover to unmask these predators and shares stories of successful interventions that underscore the valuable work done by our law enforcement agencies.

🎤Heather at (10:45) - I’m done with allowing others to treat me poorly.
🎤Heather at (11:58) - That’s how I ended up on the Steve Harvey Show. The executive producer wouldn’t call me back and I was frustrated. I’m like, I’m sending a life-size cut-out, and I send a note that says, “I know it’s fun hanging with me in the office but it’s way more fun when the real me comes in.”
🎤Heather at (14:30) - People do business with the people they know, like, and trust.
🎤Heather at (16:50) - Everyone is in sales, and you know that right?
🎤Heather at (17:00) - I was a VP of sales. Clearly, I was in sales. But then I wrote a book. And guess what happens when you write a book? Nothing, unless you sell it.
🎤Heather at (17:24) - In every exchange, someone is sold. Will it be you or will it be the other person?
🎤Heather at (17:28) - I devoted my life to be that person who is doing the selling and I encourage you to do the same.
🎤Trevor at (18:46) - Why don’t we actually give a damn?
🎤Heather at (21:28) - If this guy isn’t gonna understand that I need to take care of a sick family member, that's not my guy anyways.
🎤Heather at (23:17) - No matter what city I would go to, I didn’t go back to the hotel, or gym, and go to bed early. I would book a dinner with someone because I want to hear about their life. I want to understand them.
🎤Heather at (23:40) - Whenever you can show up for other people, you’re gonna get huge gains and rewards from them.
🎤Trevor at (24:54) - Shame on you!

🎤 Adam at (08:13) - If you won’t do any of that upfront work, I’m not gonna give you any of my time. If I have to spend that time, giving you all of that upfront, that’s a waste for me and that’s a waste for you.
🎤 Foster at (11:36) - We say in recruiting good people refer good people and you will find that to be true.

🎤Briar at (12:46) - When I think about thoughts, I think about them being still there. We are not running away from them. We are just putting them where they need to be. We are holding them accountable, so we can go about our day, and we can continue to progress and grow.
🎤Trevor at (16:52) - God does that. The whole ‘who you know’ thing, God works through who you know. It’s through relationships, it’s through people.
🎤Briar at (19:00) - Number one is that the mindset isn't prepared for what a job search actually requires of you.
🎤Briar at (24:02) - If you’re getting into marketing, for instance, you get a platform underneath you and everyone’s gonna wanna hire you. Or, you kind of create your own business because people are paying you to present their brand for them.

🎤Chas at (08:10) - For me, I lack a lot of things. I’m not the most skilled. I’m not that great in a lot of areas. But what I lack in my skill set, I can make it up with my network.
🎤Chas at (10:42) - You may have a bad transaction or a bad experience, or somebody just as resents your success. So. they start bad mouthing you. But now I have created such solid relationships, that those people now, they are surrounding me, sort of walking around.

🎤Chas at (28:15) - Hire to attitude. Hire to their mindset. Yes they need to have some minimal level skill set of course. But hire attitude. Hire people that match your values. That's what you’re looking for.

🎤Cheri at 24:12 - God wastes nothing.
🎤Cheri at 30:16 - I was the wrong person.
🎤Cheri at 34:13 - A song came on. “Come Alive (Dry Bones).”
🎤Cheri at 35:38 - I got on LinkedIn and I did a selfie video as the CEO of Cornbread Hustle telling the whole world that I got a breathalyzer in my car and I’m just sharing this with you because I bet there’s other professionals that have a breathalyzer in their car and feel shame, and embarrassed and scared but I’m with you. And if this causes me to have no credibility and not place a single person then that’s just what I deserve.
🎤Trevor at 41:10 - I want to ask you a question about Cornbread Hustle. I got to know about the company name. Was it inspired by the movie ‘Life?’
🎤Cheri at 43:25 - At Cornbread Hustle, for every single employer that we work with, based on their criteria of what they will accept, we only place you at a place where you will get a job in 90 days. You will not be turned away because they already know about your background upfront.

🎤Cheri at 52:38 - You don’t come to Cornbread Hustle to get a job to fix you. You fix yourself and you get a job.
🎤Cheri at 54:22 - She finally said, you know what, there’s a hole in my ceiling and I’m just gonna show it to you. That’s what messing up your life does for you. You get a trailer with a hole in your ceiling. And I was like, you’re hired.
🎤Cheri at 56:03 - Snake in the grass.

🎤Trevor at 04:15 - We got a very special guest today with us. Sherry Garcia!
🎤Trevor at 21:32 - I wanna just say that I appreciate your honesty. I love that. So I’m gonna have a mic drop for that.
🎤Cheri at 23:15 - The only thing on my record right now is a misdemeanor DWI that I did get while being the CEO of Cornbread Hustle and that was what really made me finally turn my life around.
🎤Cheri at 24:12 - God wastes nothing.
🎤Cheri at 30:16 - I was the wrong person.
🎤Cheri at 34:13 - A song came on. “Come Alive (Dry Bones).”
🎤Cheri at 35:38 - I got on LinkedIn and I did a selfie video as the CEO of Cornbread Hustle telling the whole world that I got a breathalyzer in my car and I’m just sharing this with you because I bet there’s other professionals that have a breathalyzer in their car and feel shame, and embarrassed and scared but I’m with you. And if this causes me to have no credibility and not place a single person then that’s just what I deserve.
🎤Trevor at 41:10 - I want to ask you a question about Cornbread Hustle. I got to know about the company name. Was it inspired by the movie ‘Life?’

🎤Cheri at 47:12 - We made $100,000 in one month disinfecting.
🎤Cheri at 49:35 - Sometimes the vulnerability of my LinkedIn post will hit a CEO in the heart. And they will reach out to me and say, I have my HR person reaching out to you. So, I haven't had to do a single cold call or knock on a door.
🎤Cheri at 52:38 - You don’t come to Cornbread Hustle to get a job to fix you. You fix yourself and you get a job.
🎤Cheri at 54:22 - She finally said, you know what, there’s a hole in my ceiling and I’m just gonna show it to you. That’s what messing up your life does for you. You get a trailer with a hole in your ceiling. ANd I was like, you’re hired.
🎤Cheri at 56:03 - Snake in the grass.
