I sat down with Glenn Sandifer, who went from being a self-proclaimed "introverted only child" to a corporate leader with some fascinating stops along the way – including a stint at Samsung back when they were the "Dynex of their day" (his words, and if you're too young to get that reference, count yourself lucky). We dove into how growing up ping-ponging between family members and entertaining himself with video games and comics inadvertently prepared him for leadership. Glenn had me chuckling with his story of becoming a tech expert by practically living in libraries, learning the difference between plasma and LCD displays when most of us were just hoping our TVs would turn on. But what really got me was his take on modern masculinity and leadership – turns out there's a world of difference between being a manager who just keeps the ship afloat and a leader who actually steers it somewhere worthwhile. His insights on male friendship and community hit especially hard in our age of LinkedIn connections but real-world disconnection. Between his corporate wisdom and spiritual groundedness, Glenn makes a compelling case for measuring success not by the size of your PowerPoint deck (he's down to two slides now), but by how many people you help climb the ladder with you.About Glenn: Founder Glenn Sandifer has the current privilege of leading the world class Inside Sales and Client Sucess group at the second largest Global Security provider.  His strategic leadership and client-centric approach, lead to consistent conversion of inbound and outbound contacts, envied by the competition.  Glenn provides strategic support within the Global Marketing Team with a heavy focus on North American Markets. Whether it is supporting the Sales Operations components of the business or providing support to the Operations group, Glenn ensures value for the organization stays top of mind.  In 2018, Glenn Founded Glenn Sandifer Consulting with the aim of supporting SME and Local Enterprise Organizations in their efforts around Demand Generation, Lead Qualification, Lead Nurture and Client Success practices. Most clients were in the Home Service Verticals and enjoyed unprecedented growth during this time.  He is currenlty a member of Emblaze (formerly AA-ISP)  Wilson County and Nashville Black Chambers of Commerce. Glenn is also a proud member of the Gamma Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Glenn is from Indiana, but currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife and two children. WebsiteLinkedInFaceBookInstagram

The pursuit of your dream job is often considered Plan A, but life's responsibilities may cause you to consider a side job or what many consider Plan B. So, what if Plan B aligned with Plan A? Would the dream still be worth the pursuit? In this week's episode of Our 4th Annual Divine 9 Series, we are joined by Caleb Armstrong, Gamma Epsilon Chapter member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. During COVID, Caleb decided to participate in a theatrical Zoom production of ‘The Colored Museum' at the suggestion of his advisor. He did not know what to expect, but he thoroughly enjoyed the experience and is now in pursuit of a Theatre Arts degree at Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. Find out how he maintains his desire for a career in Acting while he waits for his dream job to come along, and why he believes Generation Z will be the most important voice in this year's upcoming election. ⁠ Caleb is currently completing his major in Theatre Performance and his minor in Leadership Studies at Hampton University. He has thrived by taking part in several productions that have included both musicals and dramatic plays. In Spring 2024, he also became the Phi Mu Chapter member of the Alpha Psi Omega National Theatre Honor Society.

But in business just do.”  - Donte Jones “ Step one is do and then as you're doing, learn.

This episode was by far one of the most surprising! T.H. Moore is a Southwest Philadelphia native who relocated to Camden, New Jersey at the age of ten. He's an active member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Morgan State University. His career as an Information Technology Consultant and Real-Estate investor has afforded him the opportunity to travel to many countries all over the world as well as most of the United States. Blending experience with imagination helped formulate the basis of, and inspired him to write his first novel, “The End Justifies the Means”. His second novel, “The Devil's Whisper”, is uniquely creative fiction that ventures away from the inspiration of his own life experiences. In The Devil's Whisper, he dives into a darker set of dual protagonists whose sole objective is to survive the circumstances of the world they live in. In his third novel “I AM…” T.H. Moore plays clairvoyant and without apology release the wrath of American citizens targeted by police brutality. T.H. Moore is the proud father of one son, Jason, and currently resides in Baltimore where he is completing his first nonfiction work titled “Ghetto B*****d: A memoir”. In this book he takes an honest audit and chronicling of his life traumas and the decisions resulting from them and how they shaped his life both good and bad. He shares how acknowledging his flawed behavior ultimately led to resolving them with the help of therapy. Now, emotionally free and at peace, he shares his journey for the first time with readers.

The Decatur chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity will sponsor Protecting Our Women At All Costs, a health fair and discussion focused on combating domestic violence. Bodae Vogt joins me to discuss their efforts in DeKalb this weekend. The event will take place at Greenforest McCalep Christian Academy, 3250 Rainbow Dr., Decatur, GA., on Saturday, April 27th. Speakers will include Dekalb County Sheriff Melody Maddox, April Ross, executive director of Georgia Commission on Family Violence and Georgia State Rep. Omari Crawford.

In the fall of 1994, Nathaniel Turner learned he would become a father. Given the tumult of his childhood, Nathaniel was terrified that he would be a chip off the wrong block. Determined not to sentence his child to the same adverse childhood experiences Nate suffered, Nate did something novel. He studied backward design and how he might apply it to parenting. The backward design approach worked phenomenally for his son. In addition to raising a multilingual child accepted to 27 of America's best universities, receiving a fellowship to earn his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and full-ride to NYU's Stern School of Business, to name a few highlights, Nate discovered that the tools, techniques, and strategies used to aid him on his educational and life journey were applicable for Nate's own life. Nowadays, Nate enjoys sharing what he knows about raising children and helping students get in and graduate from their dream schools with little to no debt. Equally important is that he gets to share with others how to design your life backward so that you can live your life just as you always imagined. In episode 437 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out how Nate was able to rise above 8 adverse childhood experiences, what made him choose Butler University, what made him want to join Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., what is a life template and how does it work, how do we raise dreamers who embrace the responsibility to change the world, why do other generations like to attack generation Z, how universities can improve their retention and graduation rates, how fitness watches can help you, and what are some diet and nutrition tips for college students. Enjoy!

In this episode, host 12Kyle introduces a new segment on The 12Kyle Podcast featuring interviews with HBCU alumni. The first guest is Steve Beatty, a South Carolina State University alum. Steve shares his reasons for choosing South Carolina State, including family tradition and the influence of Aggie Fest. He reflects on his academic performance and the importance of networking and communication skills learned at the university. Steve also discusses the party scene at South Carolina State and the lessons he gained from joining Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.  He expresses optimism about the direction of the university and the need for alumni to advocate for funding and support. The conversation highlights the importance of higher education for intellectual development and the acquisition of essential skills. South Carolina State University is praised as a great institution for personal and academic growth. The dedication of the university community to student success is emphasized, particularly the support provided to students who put in effort. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are recognized as nurturing environments that foster the development of young scholars and professionals. Takeaways South Carolina State University holds a special place in the hearts of its alumni, who value the family tradition and lifelong friendships formed at the university. Choosing a college is a personal decision, influenced by factors such as family connections, social experiences, and personal interests. Attending an HBCU provides unique opportunities for personal and professional growth, including developing networking and communication skills. While social activities and parties are an important part of the college experience, it's essential to find a balance between socializing and academic responsibilities. HBCUs like South Carolina State face challenges in terms of underfunding, but alumni can play a crucial role in advocating for their alma mater and ensuring its continued success. Higher education is not just about vocational training but also about intellectual development. South Carolina State University offers a nurturing environment for personal, social, and academic growth. The entire university community at South Carolina State is invested in student success. HBCUs provide a supportive and nurturing environment for young scholars and professionals.

THE KELLY CARDENAS PODCAST PRESENTS Eddie George was announced as the 22nd head football coach at Tennessee State University on April 13, 2021.  "I am excited about being named head coach at Tennessee State University," said George. “All I have done has prepared me for this moment, whether that's my football career, my entrepreneurial endeavors, my acting career. Coaching is a full commitment, a duty of service. I take that seriously. I've done a lot of soul searching and due diligence. The more I thought about it, I got more and more excited about it. It was like picking up an old guitar or getting back on a bike, it's familiar but in a different capacity. It's exciting. I'm going to be innovative, creative and fun."  George played college football for Ohio State University and won the Heisman in 1995. That season, George rushed for a school record 1,927 yards and 24 touchdowns, an average of 148.23 yards per game, while also catching 47 passes for 417 yards and another score.

He made the Pro Bowl four consecutive years (1997–2000), and assisted the Titans to a championship appearance in Super Bowl XXXIV.  George is only the second NFL running back to rush for 10,000 yards while never missing a start, joining Jim Brown.

“When I talk about family history, I tell people to look at the people in their family. See what it is that bothers them. Why is that important? You contain somewhere between 40 to 70% of the genetic material of each of your parents. And it'll be in a different mixture based on the way the good Lord wanted it to come out. But if both of your parents have high blood pressure, and both of your parents have high cholesterol, and both of your parents have had strokes at an early age, and you do the same things that they did, such as eat lots of cholesterol, fried foods, smoke cigarettes, you're probably going to have a stroke as well,” explains Dr. David Chatman. Dr. David Chatman is currently the Medical Director of Focused Claims Review in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at Optum Health Care following a successful career as vascular surgeon. He talks with host D-Rich about the importance of communicating and understanding your family medical history. They are joined by Dr. Allison Matthews, Executive Director and Research Fellow in Faith and Health, to discuss the stigma surrounding HIV in the Black community.    Historically, the Black community and Black churches have not been very accepting of the LGBTQ community and as such there is a large stigma surrounding HIV. People prefer to act like HIV does not exist and to stay silent. This leads to HIV-positive Black and Brown individuals being uncomfortable with seeking care or even just speaking with their families about their experiences. Talking about HIV status is not the only medical issue that the Black community struggles with. Many adults prefer not to talk about any of their health concerns or medical history with others, even their own children. It is vital that we normalize having these discussions in an understanding and compassionate way because knowing your family medical history could be the difference between life and death in many cases.   It can be difficult to have conversations about medical concerns. Many people delay going to the doctor because they would rather not know something is wrong. By working to remove the stigma surrounding medical conditions, we can make it easier for people to choose to seek out care.    Quotes • “Nationally we don't really have a lot of faith based initiatives around HIV, because of the stigma. A lot of people don't agree with homosexuality in the Black community and in Black churches in particular. Unfortunately, churches have been one of the main sources of stigma around HIV. We were founded in 2021 to coordinate efforts to put money into faith based organizations that are committed to addressing HIV stigma in a responsible and compassionate way.” (5:21-6:02 | Dr. Allison) • “The common thread through faith communities and our families is silence. I think a big reason why HIV has so much stigma is because we like to sweep things under the rug and act like things never happen. But our silence is what's killing us.” (18:44-19:08 | Dr. Allison)  • “The thing that I like to share with the community and people who tend to be in what I call pockets of ignorance is information that's readily available to people who are in higher socioeconomic status, etc. And I like to say that these are situations that we need to talk to each other about. We need to educate each other about in order to fill these gaps.” (37:05-37:39 | Dr. David) • “When I talk about family history, I tell people, look at the people in your family. See what it is that bothers them. Why is that important? You contain somewhere between 40 to 70% of the genetic material of each of your parents. And it'll be in a different mixture based on the way the good Lord wanted it to come out. But if both of your parents have high blood pressure, and both of your parents have high cholesterol, and both of your parents have had strokes at an early age, and you do the same things that they did, such as eat lots of cholesterol, fried foods, smoke cigarettes, you're probably going to have a stroke as well.” (43:16-43:59 | Dr. David)   Links   Community Health Activation - Enabling Preventative and Restorative Health with Dr. Allison Mathews    Connect with Dr. Allison Mathews: Website: https://drallisonmathews.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisonmathews/   Dr. Allison Mathews serves as Executive Director and Research Fellow in Faith and Health.

Today, it's another in our series of Conversations with the Candidates: 2022.  Tom's guest is Bowie Mayor Tim Adams.  He's running in the Democratic primary for Maryland Comptroller. His opponent in that race is Del. Brooke Lierman, who represents Baltimore in the General Assembly. Barry Glassman, the Harford County Executive, is running unopposed in the Republican Comptroller primary. The Maryland Comptroller is an office that doesn't change hands very frequently. Louis Goldstein had the job for nearly 40 years. The current Comptroller, Peter Franchot, was first elected to that office in 2007. He is running in the Democratic primary for Governor. Tim Adams was elected Mayor of Bowie in November, 2019, the first African American to hold that position in the city's history. He also serves as President and CEO of Systems Application & Technologies, Inc., or SATECH, a firm he founded in 1989. It serves the national security sector. It's headquartered in Upper Marlborough. Mr. Adams holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Xavier University, a Master's Degree in Business Administration from the University of New Orleans, and an honorary Doctorate from Bowie State University. He is also a lifetime member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. If elected Comptroller, Mr. Adams would be the first Black comptroller and the first paraplegic to hold statewide office in Maryland. Tim Adams is 62 years old. He lives in Bowie, Maryland. He is married to the Honorable Sheila R. Tillerson Adams. They are the parents of twins, Timothy and Kayla. An older daughter, Tiara, passed away in 2020. They have a young grandson, Nehemiyah. Tim Adams joins us on our digital line from Bowie.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
