What do you do when life gives you a 10-year sentence? If you're Kenny Donnell, you turn it into a masterclass in resilience, hustle, and building your own damn seat at the table. In this episode, Kenny opens up about how being denied a job post-prison led to an unexpected but powerful entry into entrepreneurship—and how his “accidental” business launch turned into a lifelong calling.We go deep into Kenny's remarkable story: from being rejected by fast food joints to flipping his first house for a massive profit and eventually launching companies in construction, transportation, and now coaching. But it wasn't all smooth rides and six-figure flips. Kenny shares hilarious and humbling lessons, like how his first limo business cost more in suits than it made in sales (spoiler: Emmitt Smith was their one client—no big deal).Now, Kenny is on a mission to help others shift from employee to boss—whether they're launching a business or transforming their mindset within corporate. His book From Employee to Boss isn't just for aspiring founders; it's for anyone ready to solve problems, own their value, and bet big on themselves. If you've ever felt stuck, sidelined, or unsure where to begin, this episode will fire you up to take that first step—and keep walking even when the road gets rough. Takeaways:Necessity breeds entrepreneurship: Kenny's journey started when no one would hire him post-incarceration. So he created his own opportunities—and never looked back.Mindset is everything: Whether you're in corporate or self-employed, thinking like a boss means solving problems and bringing solutions to the table.Fail fast, learn faster: From a limo biz that flopped to getting his dream truck repossessed, Kenny shares why failures can be your best business school.The power of one big win: His first house flip changed everything—it gave him the confidence (and cash) to go all in.Get operationally sound: Having a great idea isn't enough. You need systems, financial awareness, and clarity to succeed long-term.Bet on yourself: You may not have all the answers now—but if you keep showing up, learning, and building, your future is limitless.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jotaka Eaddy. An award-winning strategist and advocate, founder of Win With Black Women (WWBW)—a collective of over 200,000 Black women leaders. Key Highlights from the Interview:
In this episode of The Creative Genius Podcast (the finale for Season 4!) Kate sits down with Albert Bramante — talent agent, psychologist, and author — to explore why so many creatives hold themselves back, how to reframe rejection, why fear isn't the enemy, and how to trust yourself enough to rewrite your own script.From Kate: Today I'm bringing you a conversation that feels especially alive and needed right now. I sat down with Albert Bramante — a rare soul who bridges the world of psychology and the performing arts. For over two decades he's walked alongside actors, dancers, and other artists as both a talent agent and a guide through the invisible terrain of mindset, fear, self-doubt, and that sneaky self-sabotage we all bump up against when we dare to put our true selves out in the world.In this conversation, Albert opens up about how rejection isn't really rejection, how fear can be a strange protector, and how staying open to the unknown — in our art, our work, our relationships — can free us to live bigger, truer lives.I hope as you listen you feel a soft invitation to loosen your own grip a little, to see where you might be clinging too tightly to other people's scripts for you — and maybe, just maybe, to let yourself play again.Highlights:Why rejection is rarely personalHow our childhood shapes creative courageWhat fear of success really meansThe power of playing instead of performingReal stories about people pleasing, burnout, and letting go

Watch this episode to hear our conversation as we explain what it means in detail.

It's easy to feel confident when everything is going well, but what happens when the tide turns? Can you maintain belief in yourself during the stormy times?

True self-belief is about developing resilience, so no matter the conditions, you can stand firm. In this episode, I'll show you how to strengthen your belief in yourself, even when life feels unpredictable or challenging.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Have you ever asked yourself: How do I balance teaching my kids to be tough with also being emotionally available for them? Am I open with my children about my own fears or vulnerabilities, or do I try to hide them? Have I ever allowed my pride to get in the way of seeking help for my kids? Today, Larry Hagner sits down with Super Bowl champion Ricky Watters to explore a legacy that transcends the football field. Ricky—a five-time Pro Bowler and one of the NFL's most dynamic running backs of the 90s—opens up about his journey from being adopted as a baby in Harrisburg's inner city to building his own family's legacy as a father, mentor, and now, author. Ricky shares how his parents, especially his father—a tough yet deeply loving Korean War veteran—shaped him with wisdom, resilience, and unwavering belief. Even though his father's injuries kept him from running drills, he made sure Ricky was always supported, teaching him critical lessons in confidence, leadership, and reading people. Larry and Ricky dive deep into stories about overcoming adversity, finishing what you start, and stepping out of comfort zones. Beyond football, Ricky reveals the heartwarming story of adopting his youngest son, Shane, from Korea, and the deep impact that decision had on their entire family. Whether you're leading a team, raising kids, or simply striving to become a better man, this conversation is filled with wisdom and practical tools to help you live with intention and purpose. Get ready for a powerful, unforgettable episode that will inspire you to lead with love, leave a legacy, and—most importantly—never quit. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: The Power of Example: Ricky shares the profound influence his adoptive father had on him—an injured Korean War vet who, despite physical limitations, found ways to teach essential life lessons through other men in the community. The takeaway? You don't need to be perfect to be present. “He taught me how to fight, how to lead, and how to read a room, and most of all, how to believe in myself.” Breaking the Mold of Fatherhood: While many men were taught to mask their fears, Ricky's dad encouraged open conversations—even about being scared. The result? A relationship built on trust, honesty, and emotional strength. “If I was scared, I could talk to my dad. I could be real with him.” The Legacy Continues: Ricky opens up about adopting his youngest son, Shane, from Korea—a full-circle moment born from his own adoption story. He and his wife's journey shows the beauty and challenge of choosing family, and how nurturing love can transform lives. Life Lessons from Sports (And Beyond): From backyard football to the Super Bowl, Ricky reveals that greatness is about more than athletic talent—it's about grit, finishing what you start, and lifting up others along the way. This episode goes far beyond football, exploring the valuable lessons passed on from Ricky's father, the challenges of growing up and raising resilient children, and the importance of finishing what you start. Here's what research and observation highlight about: Evidence suggests that 82% of adults believe their parenting style was influenced by the way they were raised. Studies show that roughly 95% of adopted children develop secure attachments with their adoptive families. Research estimates that 80% of internationally adopted children benefit from open conversations about their adoption story. www.thedadedge.com/535 www.thedadedge.com/alliance https://thedadedge.com/bark catwatters.com rickywatters.com @rickywatters @officialrickywatters @rickywatters https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickywatters/

Steve and I talk about a recent experience where I was activated by something in the media. A majorly messed up story that stirred old wounds and brought up big emotion.It wasn't easy. I felt tender, raw, and flat. And it would've been so easy for Steve to pull away or take it personally but instead he stayed close, even when it wasn't comfortable. He loved me through it by holding space for me to be exactly where I was.We speak openly about what that looked like for both of us and how being in different headspaces doesn't have to mean disconnection, if we're willing to communicate from truth and not reactivity.I also share how I told my family: “I'm not okay right now, but I will be. This isn't about you. I'm just in something.” Because I've learned that shutting down or punishing the people I love because I'm in pain only adds more layers to work through.And Steve reflects on how much that honest communication helped him stay connected to me, instead of trying to guess what was wrong or getting defensive. We talk about how far we've come from those reactive “What's up your ass?” kind of moments and how we now use well-framed conversations to navigate tough emotional terrain with love and respect.If you're in a relationship or in a family where one person's heaviness can easily pull the whole ship off course, this episode is for you.It's about holding space, taking responsibility and learning how to stay connected even when you're not in the same headspace.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USAJoin Authentic The Program - registrations open nowCoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowFree Wheel of Life Assessment - take the test nowWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

This book is one that I know I will be recommending to many people. As I continue to read Jon Gordon's latest book, “The 7 Commitments of a Great Team”, the lessons that are available for all of us remind me that I need to simply just work on getting better every single day. I hope, since you are listening to this podcast and probably others, that you want to keep improving too. In this final part 5 of 5 Ways to Stay Positive, this one is titled “Talk to yourself. Don't listen to yourself.” Remember there is the acronym of LIGHT for these 5 steps and this is the final one, the “T”. This is one of my favorites because I need this reminder every single day! Instead of letting my own negative & self-defeating voice direct my day, I need to talk to myself and be my own biggest encourager & cheerleader!! Since we are the thoughts that we think & believe, we might as well be thinking and believing our best!! I can't believe the negative ones, I need to connect with & live out the positive ones. Nobody is going to do this for me, I need to speak these into existence into my own life. Love these reminders of these 5 lessons. Thanks for listening.

Debbie, by her own admission, is an outlier, but that's not the point - what I took from this episode is the power of belief, the confidence in doing things on your own, being honest with yourself about the level of support + help you need and the power of starting.
