"Does virtual connection actually make us crave physical connection more? Yes, without a doubt. I, for one, am very much looking forward to being able to hug people and kiss people again when the future, you know, when, when that's safe to do. So there's something about physical presence, whether it's in a place or with people that you just cannot replicate it with the very best of technology."SNP co-founder, Maureen Taylor talks to Hicham Alaoui, co-founder of Experience Morocco about the importance of co-founder relationships, wanting to be the Morococan Ambassador to the US as a kid, and growing up with Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Casey Gerald has witnessed every facet of the American dream. From his harrowing childhood in Texas to his tenure at the heights of America's elite institutions to his journey through the cities and towns of the American heartland where his spent his recent years as co-founder and CEO of MBAs Across America. Now, his work as a writer, speaker, and business leader centers on the question, “Will the American dream survive another generation?” Casey received an MBA from Harvard Business School and a B.A. in Political Science from Yale College. He began his career in Economic Policy and Government Innovation at the Center for American Progress. He has been featured on MSNBC, in The New York Times, Financial Times, The Guardian, and he's even appeared on the cover of Fast Company; which also named him one of the most creative people in business. He currently serves on the Advisory Board of NPR's, Generation Listen, and is the author of There Will Be No Miracles Here. In this episode, Casey and I discuss how we've both experienced others using our stories to validate or dismiss the suffering the others, the role God has played in both of our journeys, how he was able to share from such a vulnerable place in his memoir, why it was important for him to shift his focus from success to wellness, and so much more!   To learn more, visit the show notes.   Want to continue the love-fest?

On the surface, Casey Gerald (http://www.caseygerald.com/), was living the dream.Growing up in Oak Cliff, Texas, he broke from the binds of an addicted, imprisoned dad and mentally-ill mom to become a star athlete, scholar, then a student at Yale, where he majored in political science and played varsity football.Heading next to Harvard Business School, while pursuing his MBA, he co-founded a foundation, MBAs Across America, that landed him on MSNBC, at TED and SXSW, on the cover of Fast Company, and in The New York Times, Financial Times, and The Guardian, among others.But, when you scratch the surface, things weren't as they seemed. As he shared in this week's conversation, everyone wants to make you into a nugget, a simplified soundbite. Gerald was anything but. Struggling with everything from his sexuality and faith, to his fierce desire to carve his own unique path, to live his own life, Casey, decided to walk away from it all, begin to write, and follow a path of self-discovery and revelation. His journey is laid bare in a stirring new memoir, There Will Be No Miracles Here (https://amzn.to/2QHjyvE)Check out our offerings & partners: ThirdLove: Go to ThirdLove.com/GOODLIFE now to find your perfect fitting bra... and get 15% off your first purchase.Kopari: Go to KopariBeauty.com/GOODLIFE and save $5 off your first order.Talkspace: Go to Talkspace.com/GOODLIFE and use the code GOODLIFE to get $45 off your first month.

Today’s REWIND guest is Nailah Ellis-Brown. I first heard about Nailah from my roommates, Nydia and Stefanie at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. They supported her business as part of the MBAs Across America program that they participated in (and you’ll hear more about this in the episode). I’ve been fascinated by Nailah every since. A Black Woman from Detroit with Jamaican roots, Ellis-Brown has made a name for herself as part of the Detroit manufacturing renaissance. Her distinctive hibiscus Ellis Island Tea, based on a family recipe and bottled in an urban 4,000 square foot plant, has expanded sales into six airports and locations across 12 Midwestern states along with shelf space in regional retailer Meijer, Whole Foods and most recently Sam Club stores. She’s been named one of the Forbes 30 Under 30, has been featured on MSNBC for a small business makeover, and she’s only getting started. Her plan was to go to school, work on wall street then quit and be an entrepreneur. But when she realized the student loan hustle, she wanted no parts of it. On today’s episode, Nailah gets into: How she’s been able to brew and bottle a recipe steeped in family tradition How she went from selling out of her trunk to selling in Sam’s clb Learning the science behind her How she took a leap of faith and started over from scratch How investing in herself and her business led to big rewards in major brand partnership Plus how she’s continuing to grow her brand Listen on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher and Google Play Links mentioned on this episode Ellis Island Tea Michigan State Product Center Think & Grow Rich Book Click here to subscribe via RSS feed (non-iTunes feed): http://sidehustlepro.libsyn.com/rss Announcements If you’re looking for a community of supportive side hustlers who are all working to take our businesses to the next level, join us here: http://sidehustlepro.co/facebook Social Media Info Connect on Instagram: Ellis Island Tea – @EllisIslandTea Side Hustle Pro – @sidehustlepro #SideHustlePro
