Podcasts about breaking barriers

INSIDE THE EPISODEIn this episode of the AUDACITY podcast, Letisha interviews Meka Morris, a leader and beacon of boldness, in a powerhouse conversation about breaking barriers. Meka's audacious spirit is an inspiring demonstration of the transformative power of diversity in leadership and redefinition of traditional narratives. Take these inspiring insights after listening to this episode: Being audacious means being willing to do what hasn't been done and leaning in when others are leaning out, being bold when others refuse to be, even if it requires some personal sacrifices along the way. Find strength in the presence of other black women in the room and give yourself grace for being one of them, for being able to get things done. Changing the world includes taking stock of what you do and have done despite any and all limiting circumstances and recognizing it. Be intentional with how you take care of yourself, because a refueled you means more capacity to make an impact.Stay unapologetic and do not lose optimism. Welcome foreign experiences and treat them as opportunities to create space for other people of color. MEKA MORRISMeka Morris, who joined the Minnesota Twins as the club's first-ever Senior Vice President & Chief Revenue Officer in August of 2021, was elevated to Executive Vice President, Chief Business Officer in November of 2022. In her role, Morris leads the organization's collaborative efforts to drive continued business growth and development, with a specific focus on the exploration and optimization of potential new and evolving revenue streams.Connect with Meka: Instagram: @mekamorrisConnect with Letisha:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/letisha-bereola-53051730Instagram: @letishabereolaBookings: info@letishabereola.co

“We know that women are making tremendous strides, but they're still fighting for opportunities for success in the workplace and as entrepreneurs.” – Cloe Guidry-Reed March has arrived and Spring is in the air! March may be the month of rebirth and regrowth, but it is also the month dedicated to honoring women in business. March 8th was International Women's Day, a global day celebrating women's social, economic, and political achievements. March is also Women's History Month, a month holding some important milestones for women: Title IX, prohibiting sex discrimination in all federally funded education programs, was passed by the Senate on March 1st, 1972. The Senate passed the Equal Rights Amendment on March 22nd of the same year. In March, the first major suffragist ‘march' took over Washington DC on March 3rd, 1913. It is the month of women for a good reason. In today's episode, we discuss some of the triumphs and struggles of women in business today. We dissect the reasons women still may have to fight for opportunities to progress while others make tremendous strides in their field. We reveal the different approaches men and women have to pay raises where men are more likely to demand a pay raise while women wait to be recognized. We also look at mentorship, team-building opportunities, and the discussions we can engage in to make positive changes for a fair playing field for women in 21st Century business.

Zahn and Jenni Villavicencio, leaders within ACOG, jointly authored an op-ed in The Washington Post, wherein they voiced their support for unrestricted abortion access.

“Supplier diversity for me from a corporate standpoint isn't so much a definition or a case study as it is a program where we're actively helping reduce barrier of entry to small and diverse businesses into corporate America” – Adam Moore Do you think you understand and practice supplier diversity and inclusion? The Harvard Business Review describes a diverse supplier as “a business that is at least 51% owned and operated by an individual or group that is part of a traditionally underrepresented or underserved group.” Bearing that in mind, onboarding diverse suppliers to your supply chain is far more than “the right thing to do.” Supplier inclusion best practices can help your company build a more agile, innovative, and profitable supply chain. In today's episode of Breaking Barriers, Building a Hire Ground, hosts Cloe Guidry-Reed and Adam Moore discuss supplier diversity and inclusion, and what it means for the next generation of entrepreneurs. They break down the categories of diverse suppliers and discuss what needs to be done to give new-majority-owned companies greater access to opportunities in enterprise supply chains. Cloe and Adam also look at the history of supplier inclusion, starting with the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950's and 1960's to its evolution into an economic development initiative. In addition, the podcast hosts talk about the differing responsibilities small businesses have compared to large corporations, and how those smaller businesses can mitigate their own risks when they are brought into a larger organization. This week on Breaking Barriers, Building a Hire Ground: What supplier diversity and inclusion means in business today The four groups that supplier diversity and inclusion practices cover Why the definition of “diversity and inclusion” only outlines the problem, not the solution How supplier diversity and inclusion has evolved since the 1960's Why Corporate America needs to expand its knowledge of supplier diversity Why advocacy needs to be supported with the correct language Connect with Hire Ground: Hire Ground's Website Hire Ground on LinkedIn Hire Ground on Facebook Hire Ground on Twitter Cloe Guidry-Reed on LinkedIn Adam Moore on LinkedIn This podcast is brought to you by Hire Ground Hire Ground is a technology company whose mission is to bridge the wealth gap through access to procurement opportunities.

“We realize that you can be everything to everybody. There is absolutely no way that we can all be good at everything, and we're looking for specialists to come in.” – Adam Moore Do you know why you did not get that call back? There are many topics and attitudes we believe are good to share during sales meetings, because we think it adds value. However, most corporations know what they specifically want, and if you send the wrong message, they will find someone else who is more aligned with their needs. It's time to prepare, make a plan, and specialize.  In today's episode, we share our top 5 things to avoid when connecting with corporates. We talk about how being unprepared for meetings is much more obvious than you think. We also talk about why it's better to make a plan when going to tradeshows instead of seeing how things go. We emphasize the importance of being a keen listener and why promising everything doesn't always look as impressive as you think.

“A succession plan is critical for small, medium, and diverse businesses—it is how your business lives beyond you.” – Adam Moore A business succession plan is something not commonly discussed among small and diverse businesses. After all, it's especially difficult for any founder—especially those who think of their business as their child—to think of themselves as replaceable. However, in a rapidly changing, post-COVID market, succession planning has become more important than ever—having plans for leadership transitions is vital to maintaining the long-term health of any organization. In this episode, we discuss what succession planning is, why it's important for your businesses, and how it's different from a business continuity plan. We share examples of successful companies with succession plans. We outline the key elements every succession plan needs and describe why a time element is crucial.

Engage with podcasts like "20 Minute VC" by Harry Stebbing and "Starting Greatness" by Mike Maples, Jr., which interview various investors and provide insights into their investment journeys. Identify Strengths and Weaknesses: Know your strengths and weaknesses as an investor. If you have expertise in a specific sector, follow newsletters, LinkedIn profiles, and Twitter accounts of venture funds and partners who invest in that sector to stay updated on their investments and insights. Scout Programs: Some venture funds offer Scout programs, where individuals with specialized networks or industry expertise can become scouts. You can introduce potential founders to the fund, and if an investment is made, you could receive compensation and potential future profit from the company. Networking: Networking is a crucial aspect of being a successful venture capitalist investor. Attend industry events like startup tech weeks or tech events in your city to build connections and make yourself known within the startup and investing community. Pay It Forward: Always be willing to help others in the industry. If someone is kind and helpful to you, offer assistance in return. Building a reputation for being helpful and collaborative can benefit your network and reputation as an investor.

For first-time founders, it's easy to fall in love with your idea and build a company that places you as the hero of the story. Jim Collins, renowned business author and famous for his books, Good To Great and Built To Last, believes that in order to build an enduring company, you have to be willing to do the hard work of building a company that doesn't solely rely on you. Additionally, you can't just fall in love with your idea, you need to fall in love with the process of coming up with multiple ones. Collins refers to this concept as “Clock Building,” which I discuss on today's show. Apply for the next cohort of Breaking Barriers in Entrepreneurship here: https://bunkerlabs.org/breaking-barriers/Order my book, “Black Veteran Entrepreneur” here: https://amzn.to/3gme7kg

“A business continuity plan sounds scary, but it allows you to do much more than just run a business—you have to come out of being the ‘Chief Everything Officer' and truly become the CEO.” – Adam Moore An emergency is bound to happen in any organization, whether it's a Fortune 500 company or a small, diverse business. For any business, preparation is better than cure. That's where the business continuity plan comes in; it's a wonderful document that helps you and your people navigate times of uncertainty.

Jessica shares her journey of overcoming obstacles and her passion for empowering women. She also shares why she wanted to become an actress. We also talk about the relentless nature of the market, and we draw parallels between entrepreneurship and parenthood. This is a super fun conversation and incredibly empowering.
