Why do the innovation & creativity "experts" make it seem like being in "flow" or achieving "peak performance" is a magical accident that only a few ever access? Because it makes them feel special and worth their overly priced fees. But they aren't worth it and flow isn't a magical accident. In fact it's something you can activate any time you need it. In this episode I talk about how you can get into flow: that place of peak performance, all engines firing, you lose track of time.  Mentioned In This Episode:  IQE Assessment FocusAtWill

What does good conversation look like? How do you create a safe space for vulnerability? What does it mean to really connect? Continuing our series on cultivating community, creating meaningful connections and building lasting friendships, Brandy Wallner joins me from Southern California to chat about A Good Conversation Dinner, a table ministry designed to help women connect across all perceived boundaries and as fellow image bearers of God. Brandy has a love for eliciting deep conversation, and to get the depth you need vulnerability, but that doesn’t happen automatically. She says we can create a “safe-to-be-vulnerable environment” by going first. Brandy also shares some of her guidelines for a good conversation. Brandy and I talk about how important listening can be. She encourages listening without interruption as to not side-track the conversation. Her dinners give everyone a chance to share so there’s no pressure to jump in to make your voice heard. Brandy tells us that connection happens when we listen for our commonalities and our differences. For anyone who might be apprehensive to host, Brandy says it doesn’t need to be fancy. Ordering in or potluck are just fine! We also talk about being introverts and how that impacts our conversation. Brandy tells us that having intentional questions helps move us past draining small talk and produces life-giving conversations. Brandy Wallner is a freelance content writer, ghost writer, and current Community Writer on the hope*writer team. She is passionate about writing words and questions that help people connect with God, themselves, and their people. She is the founder of A Good Conversation Dinner, a table ministry designed to help women connect across all perceived boundaries and as fellow image bearers of God.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE hope*writers A Good Conversation Dinner For 30% off card sets through March 1st, use code: GTL   BRANDY’S FAVORITE 5 Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Pistachio Toffee Squares Novex Collagen Infusion Leave-in Conditioner A Great Cup of Coffee The Bachelor/The Bachelorette Maverick City Worship   CONNECT WITH BRANDY Instagram | Facebook | Website   CONNECT WITH GIRLS TALKING LIFE Show Notes | Instagram | Facebook   REVIEW THE SHOW  

Last week Stefan Jordev, my colleague from Bobsled Marketing and co-author of the book Instacart for CMOs, and I talked about advertising on Instacart and what type of ad campaigns are available on Instacart, how to choose the most important for your brand and we shared some tips for advertising.  Where does Instacart fit in my company’s P&L? is the second topic in the series we would like to cover before our book Instacart for CMOs is available for readers. In our book Instacart for CMOS, we dig into performance, advertising, demand generation, leaders, available brands on Instacart, and many other topics. P&L (Profit and Loss) responsibility is one of the most important responsibilities of any executive position. Having P&L responsibility involves monitoring the net income after expenses for a department or entire organization, with direct influence on how company resources are allocated. Instacart is a pretty awkward place in a brand’s P&L. This is the issue we discovered and discussed in our book. Stefan interviewed dozens of e-commerce digital leaders from different brands to understand how these companies are organizing themselves, where does the marketing aspects of Instacart fit on the team and how do they think about P&L. Make sure to tune in!

In talking with new and seasoned podcasters I often hear questions that lead me to believe that people think they can "break" their podcast.  Today I talk about a few questions I've heard and how 99% of the time you're not going to break your show.  We also have a question of the month The Separate Track Challenge I have recommended Squadcast for years. The ease of use and the ability to have separate tracks of you and your guest makes it my go-to choice for remote recordings. then later I got a Rodcaster Pro which ( Along with the Zoom P4, and the Zoom P8) allow you to record separate tracks. I can be on track one, and my guest can be on a separate track. The question then is: Does the separate track recorded locally on the guest's computer (and uploaded to Squadcast) sound that much better than the same track that has traveled over the internet? I also had my guest join me on Zoom as I know a lot of people are using Zoom to record interviews. Nuts and Bolts of Remote Recording The zoom recording is sampled at 32 kHz where Squadcast records at 48 khz. (This is how many times per second a picture is taken of your audio - the higher the number the better the sound). For me, the zoom recording while listenable sounds "fuzzy" compared to the Squadcastrecording (which makes sense as it has a higher sample rate. Also, Squdcast provides a WAV file that is better than the m4a (variable bit rate - another "no-no" for podcasting) from Zoom. If you're going to use the m4a from Zoom, be sure to edit it, and export as an mp3 with a contact bit rate. When I compared the original Squadcast file to the one I recorded (after coming across the Internet) and there again was a slight degradation of the file (not quite as crisp). Another Benefit of Squadcast In my test, as my guest was talking the Internet slightly broke up the audio is it made its way to me. If I had been using the recording on the Rodecaster this "Glitch" would be in the recording. With the original Squdcast fie, the glitch is not there (as that recording goes from their microphone to their hard drive, and then uploaded to Squadcast. Always Have a Backup Recording Of Your Interview The other advantage of using a tool like Squadcast is in the event the recording has an issue with the Rodecaster I have Squadcast as a backup. If there is a glitch with Squadcast, I've got my hardware option as a backup. No matter what you are using to record your remote interviews, always have two systems recording. It's not a matter of if one will fail, but when. For me, Squadcast is the most reliable. School of Podcasting Moving to a New Platform Thinkific is charging me per student (and I'm not a fan of that) so I've looked at Kajabi, Teachable, and Podia . Currently, I feel Kajabi is cool, but I'm not a fan of their limits to the number of products, and I'm learning more about Podia as they allow you to sell digital products, membership sites, and courses. They also have an affiliate program. With Teachable if I use their affiliate program, I have to pay them 2%, and with Podia you pay your monthly fee, and that is it. No extra fees. Free Coaching Calls? I'm pondering trying something new. This would be to offer coaching calls at a deep discount that would then be used in episodes (which is why they are discounted).

In This Episode: STIWANISM addresses the conditions and needs of the continental African woman on the African continent. I am passionate about advocating for the modern African woman who is strong, smart, and resilient to wake up to the options she has. She should no longer be satisfied with the options created for her even before she was born. I believe that we should pay more attention to the African woman's experiences and the need to redefine who we truly are and our positions in society. Mentioned In This Episode: 1.

Today I am moving into what I'm calling "My new old house." While I'm seating and hoping the movers don't break my standing desk, I thought I would take a trip down memory lane and dig out some of the first episodes of "Ask the Podcast Coach." The Early Episodes Sounded Bad, and I Was Awful There is a ton of hiss in the first "School of Podcasting Live" was awful and this was in 2011. Later I wanted to test Blog Talk Radio and Spreaker for "The Podcast Coach" show and treated it like nobody was listening (because nobody was listening). Then on August 10, 2013, Jim Collison joined us. You can also listen to what might have been the seed for the "Podcast Rodeo Show." Why Am I Subjecting You To Bad Content?

Do You Need A Personal Stylist? In this slightly different episode of Business Lunch With Roland Frasier, two high-performance stylists discuss how to look and feel the part. Brent Lob and Dawn Melon have client lists that read like a “who’s who,” and there’s a reason for that. Their clients understand that you can buy Confidence. If you really need to look the part, or feel the part, to succeed in your business, it might be time to consider a Personal Stylist. Our guests talk with Roland about your image’s role in how you’re perceived and, ultimately, in your success. If this (or any of our episodes) helps you, head to our homepage, https://businesslunchpodcast.com/, and sign-up for our weekly memos. It would also really help us get the word out if you would subscribe and write a review on ApplePodcasts. “Your body, your mind, has a psychological, physical response to what you’re wearing. And when you look like you’re supposed to be in charge and be knowledgeable and be credible then than you are. Scrap the sweat pants (even if you’re on a zoom call) and put on something that makes you feel good and projects the image that you want.” Dawn Melon Listen For • When is it right for someone to consider a personal stylist? “Anybody who needs to really look the part is really somebody who needs a stylist.” Dawn Melon. The strategies they each use to build trust with her clients. “We find out their wants and needs. And at that point, we fulfill them”. Brent Lob “I built trust with them by taking what they have that’s good and building on it and then making minor changes.” Dawn Melon. The value of a long-term approach with every customer. Lessons In Confidence The role of Confidence in sales and perception. “If you cannot take and show these individuals the confidence that you know exactly what you’re doing, you’re going to lose.” Brent Lob Brents Top Tip  “It takes time. You have to have the talent. You’re like an artist. Take it in. And master what you’re doing, and the rewards will be phenomenal.” Brent Lob Dawns Top Tip  “Confidence is the most important thing that a woman can wear. And when you take those things that I’ve just described, when you help a woman or a man wear appropriate clothes that are flattering, that portray the image that that person wants to portray, inherently that Confidence comes through.” Dawn Melon.

I had the pleasure to speak to Jennifer Harvey Sallin. She is the founding director of InterGifted, an oasis for gifted adults in the neuronorm desert. She shares her incredible story of being an identified gifted child who grew up in an enriched classroom environment but who was never told that giftedness and all its attributes will be part of her identity for the rest of her life. Only once she suffered through gifted related struggles in her mid-twenties, she started exploring what it means to be a gifted adult. She founded InterGifted out of necessity to provide attuned service and support for people like her. She shares with us how InterGifted started out and what it has become over the last five years. This month marks the 5 years anniversary of her amazing platform and community and I am wishing her and her team all the best for what is yet to come!TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:If there are gifted children, there are also gifted adults.There are 6 basic areas of intelligence: intellectual, emotional, creative, sensual, physical and existential. (www.intergifted.com/what-is-giftedness)Giftedness is a spectrum from mildly to profoundly gifted: (intergifted.com/high-exceptional-profound)You don’t need to do an IQ test to know if you are gifted. The evaluation is done in a verbal assessment based on your experiences. No need to be scared of the “test”!If you find out you are gifted, please learn and understand what this means for you. Otherwise you bring gifted baggage into your relationships with friends and family but also with co-workers and other social interactions. We live in a complex world and we need all hands on deck! Do your research about giftedness now so that you can show up as your authentic self and with all your potential!MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:www.InterGifted.comJennifer’s Gifted Trauma Podcast: www.intergifted.com/conversations-gifted-traumaJennifer on the Embracing Intensity Podcast: https://www.auroraremember.com/episode-00/10-the-experience-of-giftedness-with-jennifer-harvey-sallinJennifer shares her story why she started InterGifted: www.intergifted.com/growing-gifted-community www.rediscovering-yourself.comDabrowski's overexcitabilities: www.intergifted.com/living-with-intensityDifference between overexcitabilites and giftedness (also linked in the above article): (drdevon.com/giftedness-and-overexcitabilities-part-8-of-myth-busters-alternative-therapies-for-2e-learners)

Thank you!IN THIS EPISODE: Have you heard the latest controversy about COVID-19? Apparently the vaccination is of the devil, it’s the “mark of the beast”. Well, it all started with Kanye West – the famous rapper (and current husband to Kim Kardashian) who recently found Jesus. A large number of Christians around the world were excited upon hearing this, as it would be an opportunity for so many to hear about Jesus through a celebrity. But Kanye (and the rest of us, actually) might do well to head the words of Proverbs 12:15: “The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.”

This week, we are happy to welcome Carmeon Hamilton, a Memphis based designer who is also behind Nubi Interiors. Carmeon talks to us about the positive effects great design can have on our mood, how her background in retail merchandising and working around construction gave her a solid foundation, and her book that teaches us to all be better plant parents. Carmeon also shares some great plant purchasing and plant care tips, and affordable ways to spruce up our home and add extra space as we continue to work remotely. What You’ll Hear on This Episode: Trials and Triumphs about ways to make your space better at no cost, a drop ceiling replacement, new cabinetry, and paint jar organization. How Carmeon went from having the best designed dorm room in college to switching from physical therapy to design as her focus in college. The ways that working with construction and architecture gave Carmeon an understanding of what a project needed before interior design can even begin. Carmeon’s work in healthcare showed her how important a well designed space is for our mood, and a large part of that is having plants and beautiful greenery to care for! Some great tips for picking plants and keeping them alive, for even the most newbie plant parents. How to balance working from home and comprise your vision when you are co-workers with your husband and even children. A few of the great ways Carmeon utilizes double use furniture in her living room and kitchen, creating more space for guests and entertaining. How to use accent walls in a way that is not cheesy, and if you are going to go for it, really go for it. The most genius idea for more counter space in the bathroom so those toothbrushes aren’t always on display. Tips and tricks on picking the right container or planter for your plant for the best growth and drainage. How she shops for plants, and yes you can get amazing plants and flowers at your neighborhood grocery stores, and also support local businesses as well. Mentioned In This Episode: 11 Zero-Cost Room-Changing Ideas Carmeon Hamilton Nubi’s Guide to Plant Parenting @carmeon.hamilton Ballard Beds, Daybeds & Headboards Decorating Dilemma We would paint the cabinetry, walls, and wet bar area all one color, and you can continue to use it for office space if you are like the rest of us working from home! We also would find a different location for the TV, possibly mounting it on the wall. The windows are challenging, but we definitely would think about a scenario where you build in a day bed with some sconces on the wall and some good funky shades. You have a lot of options, and we look forward to hearing which direction you go!   Find all of the Show Notes at Howtodecorate.com/podcast

Tish Mills is known for creating peaceful yet livable spaces that reflect the homeowners personality. She joins us this week to talk about her love of construction, how a great design team makes the whole thing seem effortless, and ways we can create peace and harmony in our busy homes and lives. We also reminisce about the showroom we worked on together in 2014, and draw from that how to take pieces and customize them in a beautiful way that is meaningful to you. What You’ll Hear On This Episode: Trials and triumphs on good neighbor relations when it comes to painting, a fun pastel door color, the wrong sized curtains (take two), and a few of the best options for good ergonomics when working from home until who knows when. The difference between console and desks in terms of height and surface working area. Why Tish used the word “peaceful” when it comes to her design, and examples of projects that fit this description perfectly, including a home with fluted kitchen cabinets. How a great team in design can make a project seem effortless. More about Tish’s love of construction, and how it’s like a mix to go through labor and to therapy when doing a major remodel. Tish’s dad was one of the four major developers of Hilton Head, so construction is in her blood. Why planning ahead and knowing our traffic patterns can help make the best decisions in every aspect of design, as early as we can. How Tish works with her clients to use pieces that are personal and meaningful that they collect over time, rather than feeling like they need to furnish and decorate in a hurry. How we can use earth tones correctly. More about the Not Your Average Downsize project which boasted a 30,000 square foot incredible home. Using metals as the base for your interiors, and options that you may not have otherwise thought about. More about the showhouse we did together in 2014 at the Atlanta Symphony Showhouse, and what we can learn about taking objects and customizing them to make them feel like your own. Mentioned In This Episode: @tishmills Tish Mills Carin Console Rachel Cannon - Ep #44 Forward Thinking with Ballard Designs Decorating Dilemma: We love this question, and love that you are up for a change. Tish agrees 100% that the bed facing the fireplace is too expected, and doesn’t feel that you need to move the chandelier. Do some floor to ceiling panels, and weight the treatments slightly more to equalize the windows. Do complimentary tables on the side, and they do not have to match. The part of the door to the right of the fireplace that you don’t use, the mirror feels a little out of place, so you could find another place for it. You can also put a nice comfy chair there and create a seating area or cozy reading nook. Art is important in this space, and Tish would float a piece of art over the headboard. There are also some “lazy” options that we suggest, and we won’t tell anyone if you decide to go for them! Find all of the Show Notes at Ballarddesigns.com/podcast

“If you try to build intimacy with another person before you've done the difficult work of getting whole on your own, all your relationships become an attempt to complete yourself.” – Dr. Les Parrott Your relationships with other people are only as strong as you are. In this episode, Brian talks to best-selling author and relationship expert Dr. Les Parrott about his new book, “Healthy Me, Healthy Us,” and discovers why the single most important thing you can do to improve your relationships is to become a whole and healthy individual yourself. Topics discussed include how Les and his wife Leslie have worked together for decades to help improve people’s relationships, including cofounding the dating website eharmony.com; the importance of humility and getting feedback from others; and the value of conflict and fighting fair.   YOU WILL LEARN: Why profound significance is so vital. How you can lean into unswerving authenticity. Why you must nurture self-giving love.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: www.lesandleslie.com “Healthy Me, Healthy Us,” by Drs.

This week we give a warm welcome to Julie Massucco Kleiner and Melissa Warner, founding designers of the West Coast-based firm Massucco Warner. Their portfolio is a joy to look at, so we couldn’t wait to catch up with them to talk about using color, texture, and unexpected details in an approachable way. We also talk with Julie and Melissa about patterns, their great lamp game, making the most of the space in a double-height room, the importance of using samples, and color threading from room to room. What You’ll Hear On This Episode: Why Julie and Melissa love working with color so much, and how they pull it off in such a fun and approachable way. Neutral doesn’t always have to mean beige or white, it can be navy blue or any other solid color when done correctly. Ways we can color thread throughout our home so colors complement rather than compete with one another. Using samples are important and leave them out long enough to decide if it really is a fit for your everyday life long term. Ways that Julie and Melissa create beautiful and chic looks in high traffic areas using textures such as faux leather. How to use a colors you may be unsure of, like mustard yellow in a kitchen. Recommendations for tying in our outdoor furniture with indoor colors so they seamlessly flow. A few rules of thumb for using patterns and how adding another color can help break up and tone down the pattern. Ways to create a focal point from scratch. Lamps can be a great source of color and flair to a room without making a huge commitment. How to treat a double-height room without over-engineering it. Mentioned In This Episode: @massuccowarner Massucco Warner Decorating Dilemma: The table and the chairs totally fit the room, but we think you can tweak the size of the rug and beef it up to cover more space! You want to be able to pull your chairs out and still have them on the rug.

If you took a polled your staff with the question, "Do you think next year will be easy?" . . . I would be willing to bet the resounding answer would be 'No'. The reasons would vary. From current economic status of the families, virtual learning, kids getting sick to the uncertainty of what the next week or month holds. Then if you asked the question, "Do you think we can still create a world-class teaching environment, regardless of the circumstances?". . . well, those answers may not all be the same. The goal of a leader is to prepare, inspire and support your team to weather any storm - even COVID-19. We all realize the uncertain times we are about to embark on, but how do you create a team that is confident, excited and prepared for any adversity that comes their way? That is what we explore in today's podcast.

In This Episode: Over time, I have come to realize that there has been some mind conditioning of Africans in the diaspora that needs to be resolved swiftly. For a long time, we have allowed ourselves to be used to push the agenda of oppressing our African American sisters and brother. It is time for us to HEAL THE DIVIDE.

“Making sure we’re really intentional about who we give our energy to and who we don’t is key.” – Molly Fletcher   In this fast-paced and pressured world, it can be difficult to know how to achieve your best and feel energized and focused. In this episode, Brian interviews trailblazing former sports agent Molly Fletcher, hailed as the female Jerry Maguire, about her innovative new book, “The Energy Clock.” Molly describes why the best athletes in the world are intentional about where they put their energy and outlines practical tools for you to properly prioritize time, give more of yourself to what’s most important and waste less of your time and resources on what’s not.   YOU WILL LEARN: How to audit your energy. How to seek the important. How to set your energy clock.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: https://mollyfletcher.com “The Energy Clock,” by Molly Fletcher “The Power of Full Engagement,” by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz   INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: “I thought – what if I could take some of the mindset, behaviors and even a methodology that I saw great athletes and coaches use and lift it up and apply it into the world of business for business people to use so that they could not use time really as their central indicator, but rather energy, and could that, in fact, increase performance?” – Molly Fletcher “I find, for myself, I cannot handle the volume of demand if I just manage time. It just doesn’t work. It’s all about managing energy.” – Brian Buffini “I believe whatever you chase chases you back.” – Brian Buffini “You better be better than your problems.” – Tom Izzo, basketball coach at Michigan State “Relationships are integral to our business success. It’s everything. Are you putting energy in and investing in the right relationships?” – Molly Fletcher “Relationships don’t do well without energy.” – Brian Buffini “We can’t lead, we can’t serve, we can’t solve problems if we don’t have enough energy.” – Molly Fletcher “If we can get really, really clear on what matters most, then what we have to have is really the discipline and the courage, at times, to say no to the things that don’t align with what matters most.” – Molly Fletcher “Along the way, just be gentle on yourself. We have a lot of people that pull on us and we won’t get it right all the time but, the more we get it right, the more we show up as our best selves.” – Molly Fletcher   https://www.TheBrianBuffiniShow.com http://www.brianbuffini.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brian_buffini Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brianbuffini

In This Episode: I will address the unspoken division between Africans and African Americans. It is time for us to unite and rid ourselves of the ideologies and lies that have been fed to us, to keep us divided. One's accent does not deter RACISM. Whether you are African, Jamaican, Haitian, etc., before they hear you speak, they see the color of your skin, and that's all that matters to them. BLACK LIVES MATTER!

In This Episode: Yesterday was Menstrual Hygiene Day, and people all over the world joined their voices through social media, to raise awareness and bring period education to all. However, there is still a group of women who do not have access to the internet and social media. To this day, these women cannot get staple menstrual hygiene products, and even when they are made available, they can't afford it. Some of their religions and cultures also set dreadful rules that stifle these women during their period. How can we join forces and end period poverty? I believe that someday soon, we can live in a world where no woman or girl is held back because of her period.

Today Jamey Seely joins the show to talk about being a Chief Legal Officer — which most people refer to as being your own counsel — the two usual legal career paths, being an executive and LGBTQ in blue-collar industries and working in nuclear.   ABOUT OUR GUEST Jamey was named by Denver Business Journal as one of 2020’s Top 25 Most Powerful and Influential Women in Business; she is a Trailblazer in Business honoree by Aspioneer for 2019, an Outstanding Women in Business Award winner in 2017 and a 2018 Out and Proud Corporate Counsel Award winner by the national LGBTQ bar association — and that’s just since she’s arrived in Denver.   GET IN TOUCH WITH JAMEY ON LINKEDIN   THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS Podfly Productions: Podfly.net Veterans of Foreign Wars: VFWpost1.org OC Executive Search: OCExecutiveSearch.com   KEY TAKEAWAYS [1:52] Michael introduces Jamey and asks her to share an interesting tidbit about herself — marathoning and cycling worldwide as well as racing cars are just one of the few things this adrenaline junkie likes to do!   [4:44] Jamey explains what Gates is and what they do — they’re everywhere and they have vulcanizers!   CLO OR GENERAL COUNSEL [8:17] What does a CLO do in terms of helping a company be healthy? And Jamey shares the really awesome thing about being on the legal side of a corporation.   BECOMING GC/CLO [13:00] Jamey knew from high school that she wanted to be a CLO — even not fully knowing what that meant. She also speaks to paying her dues and the importance of mentorship.   [17:14] GC used to require corporate securities and M&A, if not, you could be a number two. Jamey touches on the trends today.   [19:19] Jamey speaks to the most common reasons people aim for that role, as well as what makes a good GC.   PEER AND BOARD INTERACTIONS [20:54] A GC serves multiple roles; Jamey shares a professional story that explains the breadth of interactions a GC needs to maintain. She touches on how a board should behave.   WHY JAMEY GOT THE JOB [25:22] She explains why she joined Gates and what her job was from the get-go — make the company public. She talks about how she did it, as well as getting to the big day and ringing the bell at the New York Stock Exchange.   LGBTQ [30:52] Jamey touches on being LGBTQ in business. She shares some advice and talks about how she got a feeling for the culture of diversity at Gates — and how you can get a good feeling for this in any company. Ask if they have a diversity and inclusion initiative both internally and externally!   NUCLEAR [40:28] Jamey talks about working with the brightest minds and running huge fun projects from a legal perspective. She shares her experience of Fukushima which happens right as she had landed an enormous nuclear project.   ADVICE FOR ASPIRING GC/CLO [45:01] Be prepared for the breadth and for being the trusted advisor for the C suite. Jamey breaks down some key experience you should work at getting. Also, keep an open mind!   WHEN JAMEY SET HER SIGHTS [47:54] Jamey speaks to when she decided she was going for the C suite in earnest — after having left law, which became a career asset.   BEST WORST JOB JAMEY EVER HAD [49:46] Litigation was never a match for Jamey — also, waiting tables, it’s brutal. Michael shares his own horrible job!   [53:29] Michael thanks Jamey for coming on the podcast to share his insight and closes out the podcast with his favorite takeaways.   We hope you learned something today and enjoyed the conversation. Please give us 5 stars on iTunes and share your comments so we can improve and ask the questions you want to hear.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE   SPECIAL THANKS TO Jalan Crossland for the music Angela Johnson at OC Executive Search Joseph Batty at Podfly Corey Coates at Podfly   ABOUT YOUR HOST For the past 20 years, Michael Mitchel, B.A., has been interviewing leaders in their fields.

In This Episode: I used to be one of those people who would complain about foreigners coming to Africa to steal our resources and rip us off, but I watched a documentary recently that really shocked me and got me thinking. Are they stealing our resources, or are some greedy leaders selling our continent to them and embezzling the money, while the masses continue to suffer. Mentioned In This Episode: 1.
