Samtal við samfélagið, hlaðvarp félagsfræðinnar, snýr aftur eftir langt hlé. Við kynnum David Reimer, prófessor í félagsfræði og menntavísindum, en hann er gengin til liðs við hlaðvarpið. Í þessum þætti spjallar hann við Michelle Jackson, dósent í félagsfræði við Stanford háskólann í Bandaríkjunum. Hún er í ráðgjafanefnd stórs evrópsks rannsóknarverkefnis sem David leiðir og var í heimsókn hér á landi í september síðastliðnum, en þá var viðtalið tekið. Í rannóknum sínum beinir Michelle sjónum að menntun og ójöfnuði. Þau David og Michelle fara yfir víðan völl í samtali sínu, þar sem þau ræða meðal annars um nýja bók hennar sem skoðar breytingar í verkaskiptingu síðastliðin 150 ár með áherslu á kennaragreinar, en koma líka inn á stjórnmálaástandið í Bandaríkjunum í aðdraganda forsetakosninganna í nóvember.

In this episode of the Workforce Connections Podcast, Michelle Jackson, President and CEO of Junior Achievement (JA) of Southern Nevada, shares her inspiring journey and the transformative work she leads through JA programs. From moving around the U.S. during her early years to her current leadership role, Michelle reflects on her background in nonprofits and passion for youth development. She explains how JA's mission centers on equipping young people with skills in financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship, helping them confidently shape their futures.Michelle elaborates on the vision and impact of the new JA Inspiration Center, a game-changing initiative for Southern Nevada. This innovative center offers programs like JA BizTown and JA Finance Park, reaching 84% of fifth graders and thousands of high school students annually. The Inspiration Center, alongside JA's traditional classroom programs, will impact over 60,000 students each year when operating at total capacity. In BizTown, students manage a miniature city, interacting with real-world companies like PNC Bank, Google, Lexicon Bank, and UNLV. Finance Park offers student budgeting experience, with categories like transportation sponsored by partners such as the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA). Michelle highlights that there are still opportunities for businesses to get involved, sponsor spaces, and provide authentic business experiences to students.Michelle also discusses ways the community can engage with JA, including sponsoring or adopting spaces within BizTown or Finance Park and securing naming rights at the JA Inspiration Center. This versatile facility accommodates up to 400 attendees and is available for events ranging from board meetings to luncheons and conferences. She highlights the JA Inspire Career Expo, held four times a year at UNLV, which brings together 4,000 middle and high school students eager to explore various careers. Businesses can participate for just $99, offering direct access to a motivated student audience. Michelle also shares details about the grand opening of the JA Inspiration Center on October 10, 2024, from 10 AM to 12 PM, an event featuring dignitaries, community leaders, and hundreds of attendees. JA plans to introduce summer programs in 2025, allowing children to experience BizTown and Finance Park during the school break.Michelle enjoys quality time with her husband and son outside of work, embracing nature through hiking and camping trips in Southern Utah. In the winter, she and her son often go skiing while her husband, who isn't fond of the cold, stays cozy at home. Michelle also loves attending concerts, especially poolside shows during the summer and cherishes her time at church. Her family leans towards traditional camping rather than glamping, using a basic pop-up camper without the luxuries of running water or a toilet, which allows them to connect with nature fully.For young adults, Michelle emphasizes the importance of self-discovery and pursuing a career that aligns with one's passions rather than letting others dictate their path. She encourages taking calculated risks between 18 and 28 when individuals often have fewer long-term commitments and more freedom to explore. She suggests focusing on business and financial studies for those interested in nonprofit leadership. While this path may not lead to extreme wealth, Michelle explains it provides the invaluable fulfillment of positively impacting thousands of lives.Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada:JA of Southern Nevada | Junior Achievement of Southern NevadaJA Inspire Nevada:JA Inspire Nevada | Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada

A Prisoner's Pardon Michelle Jackson pt 2 As we witness the continuous degradation of our society, one thing that continues to catch news headlines is the rampant violent crime happening all over America right now. Mainly in our inner cities, but it is not exclusive to those cities. Teenagers taking guns to school. Elementary kids taking guns to school. Kids killing kids over things that used to result in fist fights. Now, they settle it with guns. Add to that, the ever increasing alure of “money and fame” by so called, music icons whose lyrics does nothing but promote violence and things like that. “Well, Brother Bob, that's just the culture. The music reflects what's happening in the streets.” My response, “Why is happening to begin with?”  What has caused us to accept it as normal? Why have we accepted this as normal? What can be done about it? What are some of the personal ramifications that others experience, besides the victims and the perpetrators? Our guest today is Michelle Jackson. I've known Michelle for several years now. She is an author and podcast host. She is releasing her long awaited book, “A Prisoner's Pardon” at about the time you are listening to this episode. I did an interview with her recently, which you can find on the KCR Podcast as episodes 1294 and 1295, where we discussed her companion book, “Pharaoh's Butler & Baker, The Unknown Power of Forgiveness.” Today though, we are focusing on “A Prisoner's Pardon.” This is part two of a great, two part interview with Michelle. I seen in your book you discussed the fact that churches are failing to address sin. Explain that for us. One guest I had on a few years back, I can't remember the name right now, he said the church leadership, especially in the African-American communities, has sided up with the politicians for political favors and even monetary favors. This has led to a watering down of the Gospel and actual care for the members. All of this, coupled with the social programs aimed at destroying the family unit in favor of “Government is your provider” type mentality, has actually worked to the opposite effect of their intentions. How do you see this issue? Back on the topic of your book, “A Prisoner's Pardon,” I read in one instance, you asked your brother “Why” he kept doing these things. His response was because he “thought he could get away with it.”  How true that statement is. Not just for criminals, but for US as well. Whenever we do something that we KNOW is wrong in God's eyes, it's because: A. We want to, and B. We think we can get away with it. Often it is just because we tell ourselves, “I'll ask forgiveness later.” Can you shed some light on that area for us? In your book, you present a very compelling example of what happens when a person “represents themselves” in a court of law. I have to admit, I had never looked at our Salvation from that perspective. As believers, we have our “advocate,” Jesus represent us. But could you go over that part of your book for us? I love...

The music reflects what's happening in the streets.” My response, “Why is happening to begin with?”  What has caused us to accept it as normal? Take just one city in America.  Chicago. There have been more murders there over the last ten years than the military experienced over ten years in Afghanistan. Think about that. But yet, it's just “normal.” Here in Baltimore, whenever this is a brazen, daylight shooting, inevitably, during a news interview, someone will say something to the effect of, “Well, that's just living in Baltimore.” Why have we accepted this as normal? What can be done about it? What are some of the personal ramifications that others experience, besides the victims and the perpetrators? Our guest today is Michelle Jackson.

For those that may have missed our previous interview, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Michelle Jackson?” Ok, let's get into this.  Your twin brother has been in and out of prison his whole life. But, as I just said in the opening, his incarceration does not only affect him – but everyone around him as well, correct? Can you share a little bit about why that is? Your book, “A Prisoner's Pardon” is basically a reflection of your journal entries. Why did you choose that format to write this book? There has been numerous “prison reform” programs passed by various legislative measures over the years. In your opinion, why don't these programs work? You've done a lot of research for your book in the area of “the decline of family” in the black community. Can you share some of things you've discovered? You broke your book down, basically into three sections. Can explain that for us? I was listening to a radio interview several days ago, and...

The Power of Forgiveness Michelle Jackson pt 1 We all have heard about the problem with recidivism in the prison population. More than 80% of prisoners released end up right back in the system again. Why? But the story does not just affect the person doing the time. Often, the family is not even mentioned in the discussion. But far too often, the family is suffering as well. Again, the question is “Why?” Well, Michelle Jackson is someone who is trying to make a difference in this area. Michelle is the twin sister of someone who has suffered because of her brother's repeated incarcerations. She finally decided to try and find a cure for this condition that she discovered was affecting her as well as her brother. She is the author of a book titled, “A Prisoners Pardon.” She is also the author of a children's book titled, “Pharaoh's Butler & Baker, The Unknown Power of Forgiveness.” Michelle is also the host of the “Prisoner's Pardon Podcast” – a weekly podcast where she dives deeper in these issues, focusing on how everyone needs to have a firm, noncompromising, fundamental value system in order to avoid the mental, spiritual or physical prison. Her podcast handle is “Michi J” (for Michelle Jackson) and the books are written under her pen name, “C.C. Skye” (to signify the “sky's the limit”). This is part two of a great two part interview, with my good friend, "Michi J!" I know, from what you've shared with me before, that you learned a lot during the writing of “A Prisoner's Pardon.” Can you share a little of what you discovered concerning the decline of family and family values in the black community because of issues with recidivism? You share a lot about the family offering forgiveness. Is that the only way to repair the damage done to the family when a loved one is locked up for a crime? How does all of this affect the children?  Let me break that question down a little bit more… How does it affect them at the time of the arrest, trial and initial lock up?  And how does it affect their future? How is the children's book being received so far? Let's talk about your podcast these last few minutes we have left… You have 39 published episodes, at the time of this recording.  I remember – and you will have to share this with our listeners – you were so skeptical of launching and publishing your podcast. But I knew you had a story to share and kept telling you to do one thing and you'd see success. Can you share with our listeners what I kept telling you over and over? PUSH THE BUTTON! Just DO IT and adjust later!   It is so important not to over think things that matter. Nike says, “Just Do It!”  Pastor Bob says, just “Push the Button!”  Launch that baby and let the world know what you are doing. Amen! So, having said all that, “how's the podcast going?” When will the book,“A Prisoner's Pardon,” be published? Michelle, this has been so interesting. Your books, “A Prisoner's Pardon” and “Pharaoh's Butler & Baker,...

Help me welcome to the program, “Michi J!” Michelle, it is so good to talk to you again. We haven't had a chat like this in a little over a year!  I know you've had a lot going on during all that time. Welcome back! Michelle, I'm so proud of you and your podcast!  You are up through episode #39!  Praise God! I'm very familiar with your background and all that you've had going on. But for our listeners who are not, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Michelle Jackson?” You have been working on the “Prisoner's Pardon” book for a long time. Can you give us some insight into what led you to write this book? Your children's book is, “Pharaoh's Butler & Baker, The Unknown Power of Forgiveness.” Why did you decide to write a children's book? This book looks at the same situation as “A Prisoner's Pardon,” but from a child's perspective? I know, from what you've shared with me before, that you learned a lot during the writing of “A Prisoner's Pardon.” Can you share a little of what you discovered concerning the decline of family and family values in the black community because of issues with recidivism? Folks, I've known “Michi J” for several years now. She is a straight shooter who is passionate about her topic. She's lived it. Everything she has shared with us today is straight from the heart. I encourage you drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Michelle, right now, while you are thinking about it. Amen! And don't forget to click the links to her book, “The Pharaoh's Butler & Baker: The Unknown Power of Forgiveness!” You need to order this right NOW!  Amen!  Buy a couple for your church. Give one to your pastor – I can almost guarantee he will appreciate them. I know he knows someone that can...

Today Jan is joined yet again by author, speaker, poet, voiceover artist Michelle Jackson so we can take a deeper dive into what her healing looks like. Not only has she had to deal with lapses in her mental fortitude, she also had a daughter to raise without passing on the trauma and dysfunction that she was raised in.

This episode is end-of-year inspiration – and it offers a bold new model for increasing investments in America's nonprofit workforce. In this episode, you'll learn how a group of nonprofits showed elected leaders the essential value of the nonprofit human services workforce, and broke through malaise and noise to secure historic state and local government investments in nonprofit workers! Host Rusty Stahl speaks with Michelle Jackson, Executive Director of Human Services Council of New York to get the story, the struggles, and important lessons-learned for funders, nonprofits, and associations. We'll hear the story of the #JustPay Campaign, which was initiated by the Human Services Council. Through this ongoing campaign, social workers and others have built solidarity with one another and flexed their collective power! It has gotten results. Successes include Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) increases in government contracts and other major financial investments in the nonprofit human services workforce. The HSC has also been part of improving the way New York City government contracts with nonprofits to deliver social services, and how the City pays for “indirect” costs in these contracts. The effort to pay for “indirect” costs was also discussed from the NYC government perspective in Season 2 Episode 12 with Jennifer Geiling. This final interview of Season 3 explores Talent-Investing Principle #3, “Address the Problem, Not Just the Symptoms.” The historic successes discussed in this episode cut to the heart of how nonprofits can work together to end the starvation cycle and begin a healthy new cycle of talent-investing. And we invite you to learn from all the amazing past guests of Fund the People - A Podcast with Rusty Stahl.

Interviewing Co-author- Michelle Jackson BrownMy Sister Helped Me Heal Vol. 4Host: Chavon Anettewww.chavonanette.com

What happens when residents are empowered to decide together how to spend public money in their own communities? This is the foundational premise of "participatory budgeting." It aims to deepen democracy, build stronger communities, and make public budgets more equitable and effective. The first participatory budgeting efforts began in 1989, in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Today, there are over 3,000 participatory budgeting processes around the world, most at the municipal level--including here in Cleveland.rnrnIn the wake of major federal legislation, public investments are finding their way to state and local municipalities. For example, in September, nearly $12 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds were approved by Cuyahoga County Council. Here in Cleveland, Participatory Budgeting Cleveland (PB CLE) is a grassroots effort and coalition which hopes to make budgeting moments like these a more democratic and transparent process.rnrnErika Anthony, Executive Director of Cleveland VOTES will lead a conversation at the Happy Dog in Cleveland's Gordon Square District on new ways to deepen residents' civic engagement. Joining the conversation is Councilwoman Stephanie Howse; Michelle Jackson of PB CLE; and Kenny Medrano, the Former Director of Participatory Budgeting (District 26, NYC).

We can build courses and do webinars, but these actions don't guarantee success. Adrienne Taylor-Wells speaks with Michelle Jackson about the need to be authentic and vulnerable with our audiences and the importance of seeing people and not just sales. https://plutusfoundation.org/2022/adrienne-taylor-wells-purposelessness/ Notes and summary from this episode Adrienne-I'm the founder of Tailored Wealth Saver and our goal is to help Millennials live a life on their terms. I help people figure out their financial intentions while reaching your financial goals. Michelle-How did you get into this space? Adrienne-When I was in college I was a chemistry major. I transferred schools at the end of freshman year in 2009 during the Great Recession and was an interesting time to be in finances. Personal finance has always been pretty interesting to me. Michelle-How did you grow your brand and what your intention was behind the type of work you were looking to do? Adrienne-Every week I recorded on YouTube. I cringe at those videos now. Right before COVID started I moved to Houston and I noticed that Instagram Reels was starting to pick up. I started making Instagram posts and stayed consistent with that. I would do fun money reels. “How to fly first class without paying” went viral Michelle-How did you translate that traction into paying clients. We've heard the stories of folks unable to convert their followers to purchases. Adrienne-I actually had a failure like that. I launched the Wealth Saver Planner. A lot of people booked consultations with me (10 minute free consultations) out of the free consultations I may have converted 20% of those people who became clients (I didn't have clear intentions behind it) when I launched the planner I actually didn't have a lot of sales. What I realized was that the audience wanted to learn about flying first class, I didn't have the intention to convert them into understanding the financial content (and the “why”) behind what you're talking about. The importance of finances. I had to get a marketing team for the planner because it wasn't selling. Michelle-Why do you think your audience didn't understand what you were trying to do. How do you share what you're doing without being disingenuous? Adrienne-I still struggle with this because I don't like selling. I realized that everything we do we're being sold to. One of the greatest things we can do is have authentic conversations. Sometimes we forget that people are people. Let people know that you actually care for them. When we first talked about intent I thought about compassion. Michelle-How did you know that your product was a product your audience wanted? There's intention, purpose and service. Sometimes a content creator designs a product with purpose but it may need to be repositioned. Adrienne-The planners at first were a failure. I thought I would sell thousands of units of this planner. I laughed at myself. What I did was I realized that the planner could be used as a supplement and offered it to my clients. You can buy them separately but I focus on the planners being a supplement to what I'm working with clients on. Once I stop working with clients after 3 months they still have a tool to use for their goals. I was one of the winners of the Plutus Grant and because of that I was able to reposition the planner. Michelle-What are some tips that you would share with other content creators building out their brands in relation to intent. This is a BROAD question Adrienne-Be intentional about your purpose with your audience, be vulnerable. I had emergency surgery in May. Be vulnerable about some of the things you normally wouldn't share. Your audience will connect with your authenticity. Also, do market research. Ask your audience-What do you want from me.

It is hard to know what areas to focus on when building your brand. One thing is clear, you can not do everything! Felicia Gopaul shares with Michelle Jackson how trying to do everything hurt her brand and what focuses allowed her business began to thrive. https://plutusfoundation.org/2022/felicia-gopaul-misalignment/ Felicia-It's funny, we talked about how we make mistakes when building out our online brand. In the beginning I was everything. That was the biggest mistake I made and not taking the time to understand who I was online.    Michelle-If someone was to ask you what your online brand is could you share how you began positioning yourself online?   Felicia-I like to talk and to educate. I'm not ok with clients just taking what I say, I want to understand why we're doing what we're doing. I've always spoken, done workshops, etc. When I say I'm an economic catalyst because I'll educate you so you understand exactly why you should do what you're being educated to do.    Michelle-We're talking about the sins that content creators can make as they're building out their brands. One of the things that I realized was that these sins don't exist separate from each other. Could you share how inconsistency showed up in your brand and what you did to change that?   Felicia-When I first got online I had a hard time articulating who I was. I would invest with various different mentors. I would invest with Facebook, etc. and was an early adopter and can't articulate who you were and what you do so I wasn't able to get the traction that I was hoping for with those investments.    Michelle-The journey of trying different things isn't that you're inconsistent, you were testing things out. How did you recognize what worked for your audience?    Felicia-I took time off to take care of my father for 7 years and when I returned I realized that what I was doing before wasn't working. What I would say to other entrepreneurs is there is a common theme or thread throughout your business that you're comfortable doing within your business.   Michelle-Once you figured out that speaking was in alignment with your business how did you create products how did you build in consistency?     Felicia-I had to find a company that was in alignment with what I was trying to do. Recently, though, I found a company to work with that is consistent with the type of education/resources that create a synergy with my customers as well. I had a focus on creative affective content   Michelle-I want to know more. What's a day in your life look like for you? How are you getting enough people to connect with who you are and your message?   Felicia-I have a team. When I'm doing quarterly events with the company I'm partnered with I direct them to their events. I'm constantly talking to people about what I'm working on.    Michelle-You're doing ongoing messaging?   Felicia-Not an affiliate though. It's an ongoing education company. I look at what's coming up and then invite folks to those upcoming events. I know in general up to a year in advance the different events that are coming up on an annual basis. I also take the months of July and December off. I build into my schedule these breaks.    Michelle-What has the impact been scheduling those breaks? Sean DeSouza “The three month vacation” Podcast    Felicia-I started with working 4 days a week. But, that's not enough of a break. I realized that I needed a longer break and I'm married to a gentleman who gets 6 weeks off a year. If he gets six weeks off I need to take 6 weeks off too.  I also didn't want to work too much in December and want to play and relax at the end of the year.    Michelle-What was the impact for your business (taking those breaks)    Felicia-I was very worried when I first did it and I didn't announce it-I just did it. I wasn't going to ask permission to do this. I was unwilling to do that. In terms of the revenue it means that I have to get the revenue within 10 months versus 12 months. I'm willing to do that because I get 8 weeks off during there.   Michelle-What's your number one piece of advice for a content creator in this space?    Felicia-I admire that the younger entrepreneurs are open to trying stuff vs. worrying about reputation. They'll just strike out and try stuff and it may not work but there's a learning that comes from that. Know who you are and move forward.  Follow Felicia   Felicia Gopaul (everywhere)

Our community is filled with hundreds of stories from creators and entrepreneurs just like you. And through this show we share these stories of challenges and successes from bloggers to podcasters, from writers, speakers, and more. In this season we talk about a somewhat taboo topic — the deadly sins that personal finance (and other content creators) can make. We share lessons learned, how to avoid these mistakes, and the fact that we're all human, putting our creative work out there into the world. This season's conversation is about the inherent risks we're taking in developing online brands, our own hubris, and the impact that how other people perceive us can make us or break our online brand. Today's guest is Rahkim Sabree and in this episode we talk about hubris. Just because we built something doesn't mean that our audience wants it. Learn the lessons learned from the mistake of building out a product without talking to your audience. We've all done it before and how Rahkim is avoiding making that mistake in the future. Rahkim Sabree – The Sin of Hubris: How to Use Insight From Your Audience Notes and summary from this episode Rahkim-I'm Rahkim Sabree, I'm an author, columnist, speaker and financial coach. Got into financial education about 10 years ago. I talk about financial empowerment, financial trauma and financial mindset. Michelle-How would you describe what your business is to other online entrepreneurs? Rahkim-It evolves part of me feels like I act like a consultant and stepping into an influencer role. My business model is definitely digital media. Michelle-This season of the Plutus Awards Podcast we're talking about the 7 deadly sins that creators need to be aware of making in their businesses. We're definitely talking about this with a lot of empathy. How did you even get into this space? Rahkim-I fell in by accident. A happy accident. I spent 10 years in the banking industry. And one of the things I realized was that there was a lot that I didn't know about money. In my banking career I had to learn about the products in order to sell them. I realized what I wasn't exposed to growing up. For example-the idea of homeownership. It didn't occur to me that homeownership was available to me. I shared my knowledge with my friends and family because they also didn't know. Michelle-What's interesting around your brand and mission is that it's positioned around firing your boss. Rahkim-The best decision I've ever made and the hardest decision I've ever made. I had to figure out how I was going to move forward and figuring out how I was going to survive. It's been a liberating experience, but the biggest takeaway for me is that my mental health has improved significantly. The idea of “I fired my boss” is to take back your power. Michelle-What are some of the ways your building out your brand and components of your business? Rahkim-I like this question. When I first started I didn't know what to do. A lot of the growth I've experienced is based on a combination of things. Being active on Twitter, reels, etc. But, what solidified my credibility was contributing to publications and being featured. People look at you as a thought leader. Michelle-You're talking about building up your authority. What about building out how you're making money? Let's deep dive into the product's conversation and the deadly sin related to product. Rahkim-Most of my money comes from solidifying that credibility. I do a lot of writing and the writing brings in income. I wouldn't have gotten paid for my writing if I was writing for free first. I also do some social media management, get paid to speak and one-on-one financial coaching. Going into products I was approached by a coach to build out a course. I was like “oh, ok.” I'd never thought about creating a course and this should be easy. I was convinced to do it and paid the coach to help me with it. I drank the kool aid. I thought I was going to pay a high ticket price, etc. Then, I would invest in Facebook ads. I spent 4 figures in Facebook advertising no sales, 4 figures in retaining the ad agency, 4 figures for the coach. And the thing that I learned in hindsight I didn't ask my audience is this what they actually wanted (from me). The difference between my content and the course is that it's not sexy. It's not “I'm going to bring your credit score to 850 in 30 days” I was advised to market it differently and I knew that I couldn't because the content was about abstract topics and the psychology of money. Not sexy. I really didn't test the market and I assumed that I knew best and that they would buy. Michelle-That's a hard lesson especially because you developed a course and you have to factor in the time that you took to do that. I think a lot of content creators make this mistake. It's hard to hear from people to pre-sell a product. It feels weird to make sales on a product that doesn't feel real. Rahkim-The coach did give me the advice to run a pre-sell and it didn't really work. The coach and I even worked out what the revenue would like for pre-sells vs. post sales. The coach and I were friends prior to this and I trusted that their expertise was aligned with what they were articulating based on our friendship. This did have a negative impact on our friendship. There was very minimal involvement with the coach; they were theoretical versus on-hand. In hindsight I should have asked for a case study showing their results with other clients. Michelle-You're in the process of developing new products and how does this experience influence that process? Rahkim-There's definitely trauma associated with it. I haven't abandoned the course and it lives in two places and rebranded the content and repriced it. As far as moving forward, I have a better pulse on what my audience resonates with. My favorite platform to test content on is Twitter and then Instagram is a close second. And then launching a pre-sell around these products to see the pace of buy in versus engagement. Because someone likes an idea on a post doesn't mean that they're going to buy something. There's so much momentum with the Great Resignation and Work From Home because of the Pandemic. It doesn't just mean quit your job. Michelle-What types of products are you looking at and why? Rahkim-I am working on a book. That's the biggest product that has gained a lot of momentum. I've started some pre-sells around that. The process of emptying my mind of all of those experiences and the real, raw things about being in corporate America (has been hard) Michelle-I know that a lot of people in the PF space write books as a way to get in front of other people and launch your brand. Are you prepared for some of the energy around the book and the reception of the book? What are you doing to get the book out there?Are you worried about missing out on this wave of interest? Rahkim-That's a good question. But, I got burnt out. I got to a point where I felt like I was done and then I looked at the word count and it wasn't enough. I took a pause and in taking a pause to take the time to decompress and heal. I've been able to reflect and let those experiences marinate. I've asked my audience for some grace. I just continue telling my story. My audience has grown during this time due to viral posts and national television coverage. Michelle-It's an evergreen topic. I think that you've tapped into a feeling and sentiment that had really good timing with millions of people (in the U.S.) quitting. Rahkim-When I hit a one year mark having made that decision and people congratulated me. Michelle-What's your goal for next year? Rahkim-To continue to be free. Continue the momentum, continue to find ways to make income as an entrepreneur. It's a little scary. Making smart choices financially to allow me to sustain this lifestyle.

Welcome to season 2 of the Plutus Awards Podcast hosted by Michelle Jackson. Our community is filled with hundreds of stories from creators and entrepreneurs just like you. And through this show we share these stories of challenges  and successes from bloggers to podcasters from writers, speakers and more.    In this season we talk about a somewhat taboo topic-the deadly sins that personal finance (and other content creators) can make. We share lessons learned, how to avoid these mistakes and the fact that we're all human putting our creative work out there into the world. This season's conversation is about the inherent risks we're taking in developing online brands, our own hubris and the impact that how other people perceive us can make us or break our online brand.   In proposing this series I wanted to touch on our shared vulnerability and humanity. We're not perfect and sometimes I'm frustrated by the narratives shared online that content creators never make mistakes. Because a lot of what we do is failing forward. The other part of the conversation related to the 7 deadly sins to avoid making in the content creation space as personal finance creatives is figuring what's the fine line between making a mistake (and resolving it) or committing an actual sin with no understanding of why it's a sin and no intention to resolve it.   The goal with this season is not to shame anyone because of the mistakes that they've made, Instead, it's to have authentic, empathetic conversations around what can go wrong when running an online brand, share how people address different situations so that you have ideas of what to do if you find yourself dealing with the same issue and try to answer the question “Are some mistakes unforgivable?” And what role does the greater personal finance space play in a creator's redemption?   I'm about to share some of the Deadly Sins and one that I committed as well    Omission-Are there aspects about building an online brand and business that you could be more transparent about? In the next episode my guest Natasha and I talk about this at length.    Reputation-This refers to how the greater community perceives you positively or negatively. Interestingly, you may be perceived negatively and still be a pretty influential content creator.   Consistency-Life happens and sometimes you may end up disappearing for a moment. How consistent do you really have to be before hurting your brand?   Money-There are so many different angles that we can talk about from the money angle. There's an endless number of possibilities where actions around money can impact your brand.   Products-Developing unique to you products is a great way to earn money. But, what if something goes wrong? People hate your product, you don't deliver on the premise of the product or maybe YOU hate YOUR product.    Lack of Connection-This one is tricky, lack of connection could relate to the greater personal finance community or how your circumstances change and how those changes impact how the community you serve views you. I've noticed this in 3 different situations: When personal finance content creators earn more When their interests change and they fail to realize how this change impacts their community When a personal finance content creator seems to be out of touch with what their community actually wants from them   Pricing-Developing and creating products and services is a scary and exhilarating process. But the pricing process can go bad very quickly. How? By under or overcharging what you're selling and how your clientele perceives your pricing.   Intentions-Sometimes your community doesn't understand what your intentions are and things can go badly pretty quickly if this type of miscommunication isn't addressed fast.   Michelle's Mistake-Related to Money and Reputation   This mistake happened several years ago and I'm still a little embarrassed by this even though the issue I'm about to discuss has been resolved for many years. When I first got into course creation, I loved it and I had the opportunity to share my course in some communities. In one, the sales went well and the creator received affiliate commissions. Now, I had been paying affiliate commissions as they were trickling in and then my income dropped. It dropped to the point where I couldn't afford to pay the last pending affiliate commission that ended up being a fairly significant one to me at the time. And, instead of speaking to this content creator about what was going on.   I avoided it.  Similar to some of the financial behavior and financial anxiety that had gotten me into the financial mess that I was digging myself out of at the time. This creator has done VERY well for themselves. And, they weren't chasing after me for the money. In fact, it took quite a while before their team member reached out to me about it.    It would take another 1 year before I took care of it. Again, they never bothered me about the commission. This person is a 7 figure earner but my delaying and avoiding this payment because of the stuff my head had the following consequences:   Paranoia-I was wondering if people were talking about me behind my back and discussing the situation.    Impacted my course sales-I just couldn't put myself out there to sell the course even though a relatively small number of courses would have taken care of the problem.   Negatively impacted how I felt about myself and the work I was doing in the personal finance space. While I never give financial advice and I'm fairly candid about the financial mistakes that I made, I felt horrible that I was unable to address this faster on an emotional level.   It took up a lot of head space-I spent a lot of time thinking about this problem versus taking care of the problem.   And it was this issue that made it clear to me that there were underlying issues with money that I needed to address and maybe it would be a good thing for me to work with a financial therapist. By the way, it was just $600 dollars.    You'll notice that with my business now-I don't use affiliates and if I were to ever do it again, I would have someone designated to manage that aspect of my business.    The other sin that I avoided had nothing to do with me or my actions. Instead, it was related to another content creator in an adjacent space (not personal finance) who I know as an acquaintance. This person lives in Colorado, had started a Meetup group and seemed like a nice, ethical person.  Then, one day, I was randomly on Twitter and saw entire threads about this person and people's very legitimate concerns about how they were running their business. In fact, legitimate publications in the state had written articles about this person. I would have NEVER known about this if I hadn't seen those threads.    What was concerning was that they said that every 6 months this type of thread comes up and it's not a big deal. Now, I never let on that I had seen these threads. Instead, I stopped attending the Meetup group and am no longer in contact with this person which wasn't difficult to do given that we were acquaintances. Part of why I made that choice was that it didn't seem like this person was addressing the issues that people were bringing up. Maybe, I would have made a different choice if that had been the case.    But, being in the personal finance space even though I never give financial advice. And I don't call myself an expert, reputation takes a long-time to build and a few minutes to kill. And while it's possible to rebuild your reputation, you'll forever have issues. Proximity to questionable people with questionable business practices would reflect badly on me.  You're often judged by the company that you keep. Remember, people have receipts on what you're doing and who you're connected to.    I hope that you enjoy this season and the conversations that we'll be having. Again, the goal isn't to shame anyone. It's to show that we're human and make mistakes and also to shine a light on the actions that can irreparably  harm your brand and hurt the good work that you're doing as a content creator in the personal finance space.
