Send us a textThe journey from frontline nurse to respected healthcare leader rarely follows a straight path. Nicole Dieudonne's story—spanning 37 years in nursing with 30+ years in leadership positions—proves that sometimes the most powerful leadership emerges from unexpected beginnings.As a Bahamian American of Haitian and Cuban descent who became a teenage mother, Nicole's multicultural perspective infuses her approach to healthcare leadership. What began as simply "choosing something" blossomed into a passionate career where she discovered her gift for compassionate leadership. Her framework, aptly named "The Compassionate Leadership Circle," centers on creating psychological safety, practicing empathy, and—perhaps most revolutionary—prioritizing leader wellbeing.Nicole identifies the healthcare industry's critical blind spot: while organizations invest heavily in patient experience metrics, they often neglect investing in their leaders' development and resilience. This oversight creates a troubling disconnect, as these same leaders manage multimillion-dollar budgets, oversee thousands of staff members, and directly impact patient care quality through their leadership decisions. Her insight that "when we take care of ourselves better as leaders, we're more compassionate with employees, which translates to better patient care" reveals the powerful ripple effect of leadership wellbeing.Now pivoting toward consulting after decades in operational leadership, Nicole offers transformative advice for healthcare leaders feeling stuck: "Push the pause button. Ask yourself: Why am I stuck? What do I need to learn? How do I show up differently?" This reflective practice ensures that when you return, "the better version of you shows up"—a simple yet profound reframing that empowers leaders to reconsider their purpose and impact.Nicole's definition of legacy transcends titles or achievements, focusing instead on showing up with intention, honesty, and trust. Her commitment to practicing unconditional love in the workplace—separating people from their actions when addressing challenges—creates the psychological safety necessary for innovation and growth in today's complex healthcare environment.Connect with Nicole on LinkedIn to follow her journey in nursing leadership and learn how nurturing difference and exuding change can transform healthcare from the inside out.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Send us a textWhat if your most valuable asset isn't listed anywhere on your balance sheet? As businesses struggle with burnout, retention, and ever-increasing demands, well-being strategist Anita Barbero offers a compelling vision for transforming workplace cultures through mindful, strategic wellness integration.Drawing from her extensive experience with iconic brands including ESPN, Disney, and Chewy, Barbero dismantles the misconception that well-being is merely a nice-to-have perk. "It needs to be embedded into the very fabric of the organization," she explains, presenting a business case that's impossible to ignore: companies investing in mental health initiatives see up to four times return through reduced absenteeism, increased productivity, and lower healthcare costs.The magic happens when wellness isn't treated as a disconnected event but woven seamlessly into the corporate rhythm. Rather than disruptive hour-long sessions, Barbero advocates for "mindful minutes" before meetings, short guided breaks, and accessible resources that employees can engage with on their own terms. These micro-interventions, when practiced consistently, create measurable momentum.The pandemic marked a turning point, revealing what's possible when leaders show up with vulnerability and humanity. "Record numbers attended virtual well-being sessions," Barbero shares, "and executives appeared from their living rooms—not polished, but real." This crisis taught us that resilience isn't about pushing through; it's about pausing, connecting, and creating space for what's authentic.By blending science (evidence-based tools), spirit (purpose and connection), and strategy (sustainable practices), Barbero offers a holistic approach to workplace wellness that transcends trendy programs. In a workforce that's "tired, burned out, and craving something real," these practices aren't luxuries—they're necessities for organizations that want to thrive.Looking for practical strategies to transform your workplace culture? Connect with Anita Barbero at anitabarbero.com or find Renew Your Health on social media to discover how mindful moments can create measurable momentum in your organization.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Send us a textSolving the $10,000 Problem: Your Path from Personal Brand to Investment-Ready BusinessWhat separates thriving businesses from struggling ones? According to Grant McGaugh, CEO of Five Star BDM, it's the ability to solve high-value problems while building a multi-dimensional business strategy. In this illuminating session, Grant shares his journey from corporate IT professional to business advisor, revealing how a layoff in 2019 became the catalyst for creating a comprehensive business framework that now serves entrepreneurs worldwide.The cornerstone of Grant's approach is what he calls "the $10,000 problem" - identifying and addressing challenges that represent significant financial value to potential clients. This threshold matters because it's where prospects stop scrolling and start engaging. As Grant explains, "If what you're doing is not solving at least a $10,000 problem, most people will just keep scrolling past you." This insight forms the foundation of the BRAVE Blueprint - a methodology encompassing Brand identity, Research, Assets, Visibility, and Execution.Grant reveals how his business operates across three interconnected dimensions. Personal branding serves as the entry point, creating the know-like-trust factor essential for attracting clients. Business development transforms individual expertise into scalable frameworks, recurring revenue models, and operational efficiencies. Finally, investment banking strategies position businesses for capital raises, strategic partnerships, or eventual exits - requiring demonstrable competitive advantages, protected intellectual property, and reliable financial forecasts.For entrepreneurs feeling stuck, Grant offers a refreshing perspective on business growth: "Senior leaders typically aren't operating in the present, they're operating in the future. They're creating the future that we're going to experience." This forward-thinking approach includes developing specific milestones, building financial reserves, and sometimes considering acquisition rather than organic growth when time-to-market is critical.Ready to transform your business from personality-dependent to investment-ready?

Send us a textWhat happens when compassion meets operational excellence in healthcare leadership? Alexander Fernandez's journey from frontline nursing to Corporate Director at Jackson Health System reveals the transformative power of people-centered leadership in high-pressure healthcare environments.Known affectionately as "The Mayor," Fernandez brings a rare ability to unite clinical and administrative teams while driving measurable results. His leadership philosophy—"the heart behind the hustle"—perfectly captures how he balances human connection with strategic execution. Born into a family where his grandmother modeled compassionate service and his father rose from being a Cuban orphan to becoming the first Hispanic police officer in Metro Dade and eventually a U.S. diplomat, Fernandez inherited both compassion and a powerful work ethic that defines his approach to healthcare operations.While many leaders focus exclusively on metrics, Fernandez builds cultures that sustain performance by reducing turnover and fostering loyalty across diverse teams. "I build trust and structure at the same time," he explains, ensuring operational support recognizes that people are not just numbers. This approach has proven particularly effective when leading complex initiatives spanning patient access, stroke care, workforce staffing, and system-wide technology implementations.Mentorship stands as a cornerstone of Fernandez's leadership strategy. Having benefited from the guidance of a CEO who recognized his potential early in his career, he now pays this forward by nurturing others' growth. His advice to aspiring healthcare leaders? Find a mentor and don't let fear stop you from moving forward. "Confidence comes through experience," he shares, emphasizing that stepping into challenging roles builds the expertise needed to navigate healthcare's complex landscape.Connect with Alexander on LinkedIn under Alexander A Fernandez or email at afernandez3@jhsmiami.org to learn more about his approach to transformational healthcare leadership.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Send us a textWhat does authentic leadership look like in high-stress healthcare environments? Dr. Devita Price, Director of Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital, reveals the powerful intersection of personal resilience and professional excellence in this candid conversation.Few healthcare leaders bring the unique perspective Dr. Price offers. With experience spanning maternal health, child hospice, and behavioral health, she's developed a leadership philosophy grounded in compassion and cultural humility. But what truly sets her apart is how she's transformed personal challenges into leadership strengths. As a mother of eight, foster parent, domestic violence survivor, and healthcare executive, Dr. Price embodies the resilience she cultivates in her teams.Throughout our discussion, Dr. Price shares practical wisdom on creating psychological safety in high-stress environments through open communication and modeling vulnerability. She addresses critical equity gaps in mental healthcare, particularly in maternal mental health, and emphasizes the importance of listening to underserved communities. Her insights on the evolving skill set needed for Chief Nursing Officers—from strategic agility to emotional intelligence—offer valuable guidance for healthcare leaders navigating today's complex landscape.Perhaps most inspiring is Dr. Price's commitment to authenticity. Currently writing a book about her journey, she views sharing her story as both personal therapy and a way to destigmatize struggles others face. Her message to fellow healthcare leaders resonates deeply: lead with purpose, stay humble, and remember that your impact extends beyond clinical outcomes to building a legacy rooted in compassion, equity, and resilience.Connect with Dr. Devita Price on LinkedIn or email her at Davida.Price@JHSMiami.org, and discover more episodes of the Follow Brand Podcast at 5StarBDM.com.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Send us a textWhat happens when your work no longer feels true to who you are? In this eye-opening conversation with Professor Richard Thompson, we explore the challenging yet rewarding journey from corporate success to educational impact – a transition that reveals profound lessons about purpose, authenticity, and personal reinvention.After 25 years in telecommunications with companies like AT&T, Thompson reached a critical crossroads when he could no longer deliver the customer satisfaction that had once energized him. Rather than continuing down a path that conflicted with his values, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery that ultimately revealed his true purpose: helping people grow. This realization led him to education, where he now empowers students to find their own path by understanding their passions, strengths, and interests.Thompson shares a practical framework for anyone contemplating career transitions: identify what you're passionate about (what you'd do without payment), what you're good at (as validated by others), and what genuinely interests you. By exploring careers connected to these elements, you can uncover dozens of potential paths aligned with your authentic self. The critical insight? You don't start over when transitioning – you repackage the valuable skills you've accumulated throughout your professional life.For professionals feeling stuck or unfulfilled, Thompson offers reassurance that your experience is never wasted. The key lies in networking extensively, researching thoroughly before making changes, and understanding that modern careers require adaptability. As he wisely observes, three things are always in motion: social norms, technology, and time. Don't waste precious time in work that doesn't align with your true self. Instead, focus on who you want to BE rather than what you want to HAVE, and everything else will naturally follow.Ready to discover your purpose and make a meaningful career transition? Listen now and learn how to turn professional expertise into personal fulfillment. Then share your own transition story with us – we'd love to hear how you're redefining success on your terms.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Join us and be inspired in this replay episode from Women Acquiring Assets, featuring Rachel Fowler's journey—one of reinvention, resilience, and purpose. From her early days working at major magazines in New York to managing finances for high-profile entertainment clients in Los Angeles, she carved a path that merged career excellence with personal growth. As a single mother, she navigated the challenges of work-life balance with determination, especially during the pandemic, when remote work collided with remote learning. Her transition into financial planning began with a simple budget spreadsheet—proof that powerful transformations often start with small, intentional steps. Now in her mid-40s, Rachel radiates a deeper confidence and clarity of purpose. She champions mentorship, not just as a tool for career development, but as a lifeline for women navigating complex personal and professional lives. She encourages others to embrace grace over perfection and to see midlife as a time of awakening, not limitation. Her story is a testament to what's possible when women are given space to lead, support one another, and rewrite the narratives that once confined them. If Rachel's journey resonates with you, consider how you can take one step toward your own empowerment—whether it's seeking financial clarity, becoming a mentor, or simply offering grace to yourself during a difficult season. Share her story with someone who needs encouragement, or reflect on how you can help create more inclusive, supportive environments for women and working parents. The path to empowerment starts with connection—and that path is open to all of us. We're happy you're here!

Send us a textWhat does it really take to scale a business from six figures to seven figures and beyond? Ron Reich, business growth and marketing strategist with nearly two decades of experience, breaks down the journey that took him from stuffing flyers in law school cubbies to becoming the strategic mind behind multiple seven-figure brands.Ron's story begins with an entrepreneurial spark during his third year of law school when he discovered what was then called "information marketing." While waiting for bar exam results, he created his first digital product—a $397 course on law school success—marketing it through guerrilla tactics and early Google AdWords. This initial venture allowed him to leave his legal career behind and develop expertise across multiple niches, eventually leading to the creation of his Genius Profit System.The conversation dives deep into the psychology behind business growth, with Ron revealing that the path to major success often isn't flashy or exciting. As his mentor Richard Cousins says, "Making money is boring. Making a lot of money is really boring." This counterintuitive wisdom highlights why many entrepreneurs struggle—they abandon what works to chase shiny objects instead of doubling down on proven strategies.Through his work with major brands like Hay House and Ryan Levesque, Ron has refined a diagnostic approach that identifies the highest leverage points in each business. For some, it's creating premium offers to monetize their most loyal followers (the top 1-3% who will pay ten times more). For others, it's expanding reach to attract new leads. The key is customizing the approach based on existing strengths rather than following cookie-cutter formulas.Perhaps the most powerful insight Ron shares is disarmingly simple: entrepreneurs either win or they learn. This win-win proposition, coupled with his belief that "all growth happens outside the comfort zone," forms the philosophical foundation that has guided countless business owners through the challenging journey to seven figures and beyond.Connect with Ron at ronreich.com, where you can download his free 60-second profit checklist and transform the way you approach business growth.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Kris doesn't just scratch the surface; she opens up about her personal experience and tackles the complex relationship many women have with money. Kris argues for seeing money as an entity we have a relationship with, rather than just a tool. How does your money view its relationship with you?

Whether it's discussing investment fears or the need to learn the ins and outs of selling a business, Kris underscores the importance of knowledge and empowerment.

This revelation not only transformed her own well-being but sparked the creation of Routine, a company developing science-backed supplements for sleep, stress, and focus.The former investment banker brings a refreshingly practical perspective to wellness. Rather than promoting elaborate self-care rituals impossible for busy people to maintain, Sanders offers simple, effective solutions that seamlessly integrate into chaotic schedules. Her approach resonates deeply with her audience—particularly women in their 30s to 50s experiencing unexplained symptoms like brain fog, irritability, stubborn weight gain, and chronic fatigue.What makes Sanders' story particularly compelling is her transparency about the entrepreneurial journey.

From constant digital stimulation to artificial lighting and processed foods, our bodies remain in chronic fight-or-flight mode. Sanders explains how this manifests in numerous symptoms affecting quality of life, productivity, and relationships—symptoms many dismiss as normal aging or parenting stress.Whether you're struggling with unexplained health issues, building a personal brand, or navigating entrepreneurship while maintaining wellness, this episode delivers actionable insights from someone who's successfully walking that path. Discover how understanding cortisol might be the missing piece in your health puzzle and how small, consistent changes can create remarkable improvements in how you feel and function daily.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Send us a textWhat does it take to rise from hourly employee to respected corporate analyst at a retail giant like Best Buy? Paul Young's remarkable 24-year journey reveals powerful leadership lessons that transcend retail and apply to any organization navigating today's complex business landscape.Born in Jamaica and immigrating to the United States to attend the University of North Carolina, Paul's path to leadership began with a simple but profound observation from an early mentor who recognized that Paul's integrity in personal relationships would translate beautifully to business leadership. This moment of recognition changed everything, setting Paul on a trajectory that would eventually position him as a trusted guide during Best Buy's most challenging periods.When the pandemic devastated supply chains and disrupted retail operations, Paul brought something invaluable to his analytics role – actual store experience and a deep appreciation for human relationships in business. While data-focused colleagues exhausted digital contact methods, Paul understood the powerful connections between salespeople and long-term customers. His approach revealed a cornerstone of his leadership philosophy: complete transparency. "Just tell the truth," he emphasizes. "I don't care how bad things are."The conversation takes fascinating turns as Paul reveals his methodology for training new employees and implementing organizational change. Rather than using cookie-cutter approaches, he treats each person as unique, studying what motivates them individually. "You have to be a pseudo-psychologist," he notes, explaining how he gets people talking and then listens actively to understand their perspectives and concerns.Perhaps most powerfully, Paul reflects on the value of occasionally pausing to evaluate one's professional journey. After decades of "tunnel vision" moving from project to project, his recent self-reflection allowed him to see the path he created and recognize the value of his accumulated wisdom. For anyone feeling stuck in day-to-day work without seeing their broader trajectory, this conversation offers a compelling reason to step back and take inventory of your journey.Ready to transform your approach to leadership? Listen now and discover why human connection remains the ultimate competitive advantage in business.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!
