In this episode, Jacqueline Schuler sits down with current Membership Engagement chair Meg Anacker to discuss the Junior League of Cincinnati's support platform, Jody's Network. The network was created in memory of Jody Kuempel, a dedicated league Sustainer who passed away on September 19, 1985. League members remembered her as fun, vivacious, and always willing to lend support to others. This inspired our league to create a group that embodied her spirit that same year. Awareness of the initiative waned over the years and was relaunched in February 2019. This network is an opportunity for members to reach out a helping hand to fellow members.

Durell and Maunda begin the episode talking about how they got connected at an entrepreneur conference called S.I.S. (Support Influences Success). Durell shares how inspired he was after hearing Maunda share about being a serial entrepreneur and her passion for helping others achieve financial freedom. Durell shares that he is driven by passion and he's very particular about the things he chooses to get personally involved in. Durell says the reason why being driven by passion matters is because when embarking on the entrepreneurial journey there will be very difficult days along the journey. Durell and Maunda talk about how difficult it is to get someone to pay you for a service and all the different points of that must be touched before getting a sale or client to hire you. Maunda shares that she has been an executive for an organization as well as an entrepreneur in which she says that she works more hours for herself in that role because of the fact that as an entrepreneur if you don't produce there's no one that will do it for you. Maunda shares that most people want the millions of dollars but are unwilling to do that type of work because it truly takes a special kind of person and hustle to achieve that kind of success. Maunda shares that believes everyone deserves financial freedom. She shares that there's freedom in taking side hustles that revolve around our passions.Maunda shares that she was an executive for an organization and was offered the opportunity to learn how to trade foreign currency. She then joined a MLM that taught people about the power of trading foreign currency which at first was as a customer and then decided to build a team to earn passive income. She shares that one day she came across a gentlemen within that program that was speaking about crypto currency and how to go about buying it and what all that entailed. Maunda talks about having the knowledge about crypto currency, and eventually starting an online summer camp to teach young kids about it. She also shares about connecting with Hill Harper and Naja Roberts who created a Black Wall Street App to allow African Americans the ability to purchase crypto from other African Americans. She talks about having the opportunity to work with Naja Roberts as a consultant due to her non-profit background and how that presented an opportunity to work and teach kids at a physical summer camp teaching about crypto currency. Maunda says because she took action and said yes to learn how to trade, she was able to take advantage of these amazing opportunities that have been afforded to her. Durell shares that one of his mentors, Karen Marie Mason, always shares that when it comes to opportunities to just say yes and let the universe work it out. Maunda talks about originally being from Michigan and meeting her husband and after 15 years years deciding to move to Orlando Florida. She talks about meeting over 150 people during her first few weeks living there. She shares about attending the Mayor's Inauguration and landing a job as an executive at a global association. Maunda says that gave her the opportunity to build contacts and travel all over the world. Durell talks about the importance of being able to see other parts of the world because of the perspective of how other people around the world live. Maunda and Durell talk about going to college and getting a degree and if a degree is the only way to be successful specifically for black people of color. Maunda shares that success isn't measured by a degree but more about what you're put on this earth to do. She shares that for her it's truly about helping others achieve financial freedom. Durell shares that by no means is he saying that people shouldn't go to school, it's a question of does whatever you want to do require a post secondary education. Maunda talks about not getting yourself into a lot of debt especially when it comes to achieving financial freedom.

When she got her certification at the time, her association had well over 150 meetings per year. She also is a CAE (Certified Association Executive). Maunda shares that the benefits of having these different certifications not only provide the ability for additional compensation, but also opens doors and opportunities within the meeting industry.Durell asks Maunda about what it means to be in the non-profit sector. Maunda shares that the purpose is to give back and be mission driven. She talks about the differences between association management and traditional non-profit organizations.

At the 2019 IBSC Annual Conference in Montréal, Hal Hannaford emphasized the vital importance of connecting with other boys' educators. Now he shares his vision of why all boys' schools need to create welcoming spaces that focus on wellness. One of the most important roles of boys' schools is to foster meaningful connections in our communities. The engaging Sonia Lupien builds on the conversation by explaining on the scientific impact of stress on children and teenagers. She highlights ways schools and teachers can ameliorate the impact of stress in boys' lives. Lupien speaks about the power of meaningful relationships, recognition of individual talents, the signs of stress responses in students, stress response and gender, and losing mobilized energy. Ned Hallowell, an expert in treating ADHD and dyslexia, describes what he means when he says, “I don't treat disabilities, I help unwrap gifts.” The Harvard-trained psychiatrist offers his advice for teacher of boys as they engage with boys who face challenges. He details how to recognize and deal with students who might be struggling with so-called learning disabilities, including navigating prejudicial responses to these. Hallowell also speaks about the power of connectedness to create safe spaces for the boys we teach. IBSC Exploring Boys' Education music composed and performed by Tom DiGiovanni.
