Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Tiffany Bussey. Director of the Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (MIEC). Here are some key highlights and themes from the conversation:
PREVIEW: Augustine the African: St. Augustine's Profound Identification with Dido Guest: Professor Catherine Conybeare Catherine Conybeare, a classicist and author of Augustine the African, emphasizes St. Augustine as a man who lived his entire life in what was then the Roman province of Africa, now Algeria—the breadbasket of Rome—except for three or four years spent in Rome and Milan. The Aeneid, the story of Aeneas founding Rome, was absolutely fundamental to Augustine's education and was intended to acculturate him to admire Rome and the Roman legacy. However, Augustine, instead of admiring Aeneas, fell in love with Dido. He refers to the great wanderer and founder Aeneas dismissively as "just some Inas or other," yet he emphasizes that he weeps again and again over Dido's death. Dido was the mythical founder of Carthage, which Augustine knew as the greatest and most glamorous city while growing up. Conybeare suggests that this passionate identification with Dido is importantly part of how Augustine self-identified as an African in a Roman world. 1915 AENEID
Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Vitaliy Gnezdilov is the co-founder of Raise Ready Systems, a capital-raising platform helping real estate operators attract six- and seven-figure checks through paid social campaigns. With a background in user experience design, Vitaliy blends creative branding with performance marketing to help sponsors scale beyond friends and family capital. He has raised over $40M alongside strategic partners and formerly worked at CrowdStreet to streamline investor acquisition and conversion at an enterprise level. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Social media can drive serious capital—but only if you build trust, credibility, and speed into your funnel. "Speed to lead" is the difference between a committed investor and a missed opportunity. Avoid pitching too early—use the first call to understand investor goals and qualify the fit. Human touchpoints (real calls, manual follow-up) outperform automation when raising large checks. Sophisticated investors do respond to ads—if you tailor your messaging and sales process to their needs. Topics From UX Design to Real Estate Capital Vitaliy began his career in software and UX before partnering with a high school friend in advertising. Together, they leveraged design and paid traffic to raise capital in exchange for GP equity. Worked with sponsors across multifamily, mobile home parks, and ATMs—raising $40M+. Building Raise Ready Systems Created a framework to generate investor conversations using paid ads and optimized funnels. Emphasizes "speed to lead" and relationship-building, not just lead generation. Most clients aim to raise $1M/month per investor relations rep using his system. What Actually Works in Paid Campaigns 15–20 ad hooks are tested at launch; funnel must earn attention seconds at a time. Webinar funnels often fail due to lack of contextual awareness—must match platform behavior. Content and UX must be laser-targeted; the platform algorithm does the rest. Human Touch vs. Over-Automation Raise Ready added an appointment-setting team that calls leads within 5 minutes. Human contact builds credibility before handing leads to IR teams. Created diligence packets and follow-up sequences to support investor conversion. Common Mistakes Operators Make Lack of sales process is the biggest bottleneck—not lead volume. Founders often pitch too early; better to listen, qualify, and align investment opportunity. Raising from strangers is a different game than friends and family—adjust your approach.

Indigenous tribes in what is now the northeastern U.S. and Canada have played lacrosse for millennia. Similar stick-and-ball games were played by tribes across the Southeast and Great Lakes region. But according to NCAA data, less than 1% of college lacrosse players are American Indian or Alaskan Native, and more than 80% are white. Pacific Northwest Native Lacrosse is trying to change that. As reported in Willamette Week, the organization recruits Indigenous lacrosse players from across the PNW to participate in tournaments, youth camps and clinics. We listen back to a conversation we first aired in March 2025 with JD Elquist, the founder of PNWNL. We also spoke with Bilįį Blackhorn, who was then a senior at South Eugene High School and who has played lacrosse for 10 years, including with PNWNL. They joined us to talk about the importance of emphasizing the sport’s Indigenous roots.
Guest: Tom Dee Guest Bio: Tom began his sales management career over eight years ago, and he is passionate about turning underperforming teams into high-performing, revenue-generating ones. Tom loves using tools like AI-driven sales insights to stay sharp and ahead of the game. His approach to leadership is all about mentorship, making smart decisions, and keeping the focus on the customer, building relationships that last. Key Points: Career Journey Started in sales by accident. Studied TV and radio production at the University of Dayton, but couldn't find work in that field. While waiting tables, he met the president of a copier company who was impressed by his "sales pitch" and hired him. Learned cold calling and sales fundamentals in copier sales. Connected through the Chamber of Commerce to Ryden, where he started as a sales account representative. After two successful years, he was promoted to sales manager despite having no prior management experience. His boss recognized his leadership potential and sales acumen. Has been with Ryden for nine years, discovering his true calling in leadership, mentorship, and sales management. Music and Sales Tom is also a musician and band singer. Believes music and sales share core similarities: both require creativity, persistence, and appreciation of the process, not just the outcome. Says the best salespeople, like musicians, hone their craft over time — success isn't innate; it's developed through discipline and practice. Comparing recording music ("you don't see how many takes it took") to the sales process, the journey matters as much as the final result. Sales Philosophy Rejects the myth of the "born salesperson." Emphasizes that sales success comes from process, practice, and consistency, not innate talent. Says the best reps "get out what they put in". Hard work and repetition pay off. Values creativity, resilience, and self-belief in sales performance. Leadership & Coaching Approach Focuses on individualized coaching to help each rep become "the best version of themselves." Builds on strengths and raises the floor on weaknesses, progress can mean moving from a D to a B, not perfection. Believes in incremental improvement - small, consistent gains lead to big results. Encourages trust-based coaching by explaining the "why" behind feedback. Promotes two team types: · Business Development Reps: Need direction, creativity, and fresh energy. · Account Reps: Need structure, process optimization, and focus on managing existing clients. Overcoming Sales Call Fear Recognizes fear of cold calling as common, "there's no magic wand." The only real solution is repetition and desensitization: pick up the phone, make calls, and learn from experience. Sales managers often act like psychologists, helping reps shift their mindset from "I'm bothering people" to "I'm helping people." Acknowledges that sales isn't for everyone, and that's okay. The Power of Process Process brings structure and rhythm to an unpredictable job. Encourages reps to block time and eliminate distractions during call sessions. Teaches that routine builds confidence and consistency, helping overcome discomfort. Note the moment of breakthrough when reps see results from their effort; that's when confidence clicks. Use of Scripts Provides scripts to new reps, especially since Ryden is in the print industry with its own terminology. Scripts help reps learn the "language" of their customers. Encourages reps to act as if, use scripts as training wheels until they internalize the message and make it their own. "Fake it till you make it… But eventually, you have to make it." Management Philosophy Believes in meeting people where they are, not forcing everyone into one mold. Success comes from helping each rep develop in their own authentic way. Leadership is about guidance, empathy, and helping others grow, not control.

What does it mean to live with true integrity before God? This powerful exploration of Proverbs 11 uses a fascinating visual of an ancient scale to unlock a profound spiritual truth: God delights in transparency and abhors deception. The passage opens with the striking image of false balances being an abomination to the Lord, while just weights bring Him delight. This isn't merely about honest business dealings—it's a metaphor for how we live our entire lives. Through the clever illustration of M&Ms that look identical but weigh differently, we're confronted with our own tendency to present one thing while hiding another. The text walks us through contrast after contrast: pride versus humility, integrity versus crookedness, kindness versus cruelty. Each pairing reveals that our character isn't just about external actions but about the condition of our hearts. The crooked heart is an abomination, while blameless ways delight God. What makes this message so relevant is its unflinching honesty about how we position ourselves—toward our neighbors, in our business dealings, with our secrets, and especially in our witness. We're challenged to ask: Are we being authentic, or are we like gold jewelry on a pig—beautiful on the outside but fundamentally unclean? The call is clear: transparency, integrity, and genuine vulnerability are what allow others to see Christ in us and ultimately lead to capturing souls for the kingdom.### Sermon Notes**Introduction**- Series: Book of Proverbs- Transition from first nine chapters to the one-liners of Proverbs, emphasizing wisdom in everyday life.- Focus on Proverbs 11, particularly on themes of integrity, honesty, and righteousness.**Key Verses**- Proverbs 11:1: "A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight."- Proverbs 11:20: "Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the Lord, but those of blameless ways are his delight."**Illustration: M&Ms and Balances**- Demonstration using M&Ms to illustrate unequal weights and measures.- Emphasizes honesty and integrity in dealings — showing the difference between a false balance and a just weight.**Understanding the Context**- Historical use of weights and measures to ensure fairness and integrity.- The biblical mandate for truthful representation in dealings with others.**Themes and Exposition**1. **Integrity and Honesty** - Importance of being transparent and honest in daily interactions. - Proverbs 11:3: "The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them."2. **Riches vs. Righteousness** - Proverbs 11:4: Riches are futile in the end; righteousness delivers. - Wealth should not be ultimate pursuit; leads to false security.3. **Pride and Humility** - Proverbs 11:2: Pride leads to disgrace, humility to wisdom. - Importance of maintaining humility in relationships and business.4. **Words and Relationships** - Proverbs 11:9, 12-13: The impact of words on neighbors and communities. - Encouragement to be silent and prudent in speech, preserving trust.5. **Guidance and Counsel** - Proverbs 11:14: Value of wise counsel and collective decision-making. - The role of community and elders in guiding individual and corporate decisions.6. **Generosity and Kindness** - Proverbs 11:24-25: Generosity leads to blessings; holding back leads to want. - Being open-handed with resources creates a culture of abundance and support.7. **Spiritual Pursuits** - Proverbs 11:30: "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and whoever captures souls is wise." - Parallel to the Great Commission: our role in sharing the Gospel.**Practical Applications**1. **Practice Integrity:** Regularly assess how you conduct business and personal relationships.

Kolaiah “Fuzzy” Jardine is a real estate developer, author, and co-founder of Hui Mastermind, a Hawaii-based community focused on empowering Native Hawaiians to build generational wealth.
