This week, we headed west for The SEANC View podcast, travelling to Cullowhee to interview Western Carolina University Chancellor Kelli Brown and employees. In August, Forbes Magazine named the university the third-best mid-sized workplace in the nation and the best in North Carolina. WCU was also the highest-ranked education employer in the nation. Partnering with market research firm Statista, Forbes surveyed more than 217,000 anonymous employees. Survey respondents were asked to rate their employer based on various factors, including salary, work environment, and other aspects. We wanted to hear from the employees in Cullowhee just what makes working at WCU so special. They attribute the high ranking to the sense of community, the opportunities for career advancement, and the rewards of seeing their students succeed as reasons they love working there.

In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Tom Loarie talks with Forbes Magazine publisher and author Rich Karlgaard on the power of “late bloomers.” We live in a world obsessed with early achievement, but you may be surprised and inspired by what older individuals launch and achieve. Not only is Karlgaard and expert on the intersection of business and innovation, he is also a best-selling author and an economic and market forecaster. Plus, Karlgaard considers himself to be a late bloomer! This episode is packed with Karlgaard's wisdom and examples that completely destroy the current trends of pressuring children to overachieve and assuming there is failure if someone is not “a success” by age 30. Absolutely false! And you'll learn why these notions are false in this very special interview...

We come together in our personal capacities to stand united in support of Black women, driven by a shared commitment to justice, equity, and representation. Our network has grown to over 200,000 members, and our impact spans elections, judicial appointments, and cultural shifts. From championing the nomination and confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to advocating for Black women in the Senate to supporting the first Black woman nominated by a major party for the presidency of the United States, WWBW has grown into a powerful force advancing the leadership, visibility, and policy priorities of Black women nationwide. Talking Points/Questions *1. I believe one person can create a wave of change: My mother taught me that you can be a pebble that makes a ripple, that creates a wave, that becomes a tsunami. That belief grounds everything I do—personally, professionally, and politically. 2. I’ve spent my career connecting worlds that were never meant to stay separate: Whether it’s politics, tech, or movement work—my work is about uniting people, building bridges, and turning moments into movements. 3. Win With Black Women didn’t start as a campaign—it started as a declaration: We came together in 2020 to reject a toxic narrative about Black women in power. What started as one call became a community, a coalition, and a cultural force. 4. WWBW is proof that when Black women organize, we don’t just participate—we transform: From helping confirm Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to pushing for Brittney Griner’s release—we’ve seen what’s possible when we move in unity. 5. WWBW is a force. But it’s also a family: We gather on Sundays. We raise millions. We elevate each other. What we’ve built is bigger than any election—it’s a sisterhood ready to shape the future. 6. The 2024 election changed history—again: For the first time, two Black women serve in the U.S. Senate. That matters. It’s not just symbolic. It’s strategic. It’s structural. It’s overdue. 7. This is a defining moment—not just for the country, but for us: A second Trump presidency threatens our rights, our communities, and our progress. But we’ve never waited for someone to save us. We organize. We show up. We lead. 8. The question is not ‘what now?’ The question is ‘what are we willing to do?’: This moment is asking something of all of us: to vote, to stay engaged, to hold power accountable—not just once every four years, but every day after. 9. Leadership isn’t about position—it’s about motion: Sometimes leadership looks like being out front. Other times, it looks like building space for others to shine. Either way, it’s movement. It’s momentum. It’s power. 10. Connection is my superpower: I’ve built my work—and my success—on authentic relationships. Not transactions, but real trust. That’s how we build lasting coalitions that win. #BEST #STRAW #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
