If we haven't been there ourselves, we have no idea what it's like. When Anna Meade Harris's husband went to be with Christ back in 2010, she suddenly found herself navigating the new and difficult world of being a widow and single -parent to three young boys. In many ways, she lost her place in the local church. Now desiring to help families, churches, and youth ministries navigate the unique realities of single parent families, Anna has written a book that will help all of us understand and respond to the unique needs of single parent families. I chat with her about that book, God's Grace For Every Family, on this episode of Youth Culture Matters.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Michael Woodward. Mr. Woodward began his interest in real estate renovations as a youth, working with his grandfather, father, and great-uncle doing handyman and maintenance services. He also studied architectural design in high school, taking first place at county and state-level housing design competitions. After graduation, he enrolled in the architectural design program at Miami-Dade Community college. He also purchased his first property and renovated it himself at just 20 years old. He then took his aspiration to become an architect to Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Fl where he majored in Architecture and minored in African American Studies.

He also has a Masters Degree in Applied Social Science with a concentration in African American History and an Add-on in Educational Leadership.

Today we're excited to bring back Brian Anderson, a seasoned executive and entrepreneur who has worked in all parts of the HALO sector. Brian shares his unique journey from running successful companies to becoming a fractional CEO, mentor, board member, and advisor across industries including fitness, wellness, female sexual health, and even the THC-infused beverage space. Brian provides insights into his approach to transforming businesses, focusing on shareholder value, and shares stories of his roles with companies like Pvolve and Your Reformer.  Known for his ability to transform and enhance business value, he consistently led companies valued between $50 million and $150 million. Brian specialized in working with private equity firms, successfully navigating these companies through growth phases and lucrative exits. His career has been defined by long-term commitments, where he devoted four to five years to each project, driving significant growth and benefiting shareholders. When it comes to the shift from 'fitness' to 'wellness' Brian states, "The term wellness is thrown around a lot. But the shift from fitness to something much broader is gigantic, and it's happening in every corner of the industry. So that's part of where my focus is. Fitness used to be 'go hard or go home,' have a 12 pack, look as good as you can, etcetera. Now fitness has moved from cardio to strength because we all realize that having good strength and muscle mass helps us as we get older, and it helps burn calories." Key themes discussed Corporate leadership journey Single Dad prioritizes family over career Temporary change agent mindset Defining effective business platforms Pursuing growth in larger ventures Wellness Shift: Fitness to holistic Alcohol decline driven by fitness movement Private equity strategy insights A few key takeaways:  1. Brian's Career Pivot: Over the years, Anderson transitioned from being your "standard W-2" CEO to becoming a fractional executive and adviser. This allowed him to balance his personal life, particularly after becoming a single dad with three girls, while still maintaining an impactful career helping multiple companies grow and operate efficiently. 2. Role as a Fractional Executive: Brian focuses on identifying what a company needs to improve and then targets those areas. His approach involves partnering with founders or boards to enhance company operations, whether that means improving operational efficiency, addressing cultural issues, or enhancing revenue strategies. 3. Success Stories and Approach: Brian shared success stories like his work with Pvolve, where he helped reduce product sourcing costs significantly. His approach is not to prolong his engagement indefinitely, but to drive change and value quickly, and then exit when his input is no longer needed. 4. Investment Criteria for Growth: Anderson will be an empty nester shortly and in 2025, perhaps envisions working with companies in his "sweet spot" ($10 to $50 million), with the potential to scale further. He emphasizes that growth potential and availability of working capital are crucial factors in him selecting the right platform to be a part of. 5. Sector Trends and Opportunities: Brian highlighted several industry trends that excite him, such as the shift from fitness to broader wellness, the rise of non-alcoholic and THC-infused beverages, and the increasing focus on women's wellness and sexual wellness. He sees these as key areas with potential for significant growth and investment.
