Starr Blackshere is a powerhouse in the beauty industry, a visionary artist whose journey from childhood fascination to professional mastery is nothing short of inspiring. With an innate eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Starr has transformed her passion for beauty into a thriving career that spans hair, makeup, and the intricate art of brow design. Born and raised in San Diego, California, Starr's journey into beauty began at an early age, influenced by the dazzling world of pageantry. Her curiosity and natural talent led her to refine her skills in hair styling and makeup artistry long before she stepped into the professional space. By her teenage years, she was already styling hair for friends and adult clients alike, demonstrating an unparalleled dedication to her craft. Her career took a transformative turn when she joined MAC Cosmetics - a brand that not only shaped her technical expertise but also introduced her to the world of high fashion, editorial artistry, and corporate professionalism. She became a key figure in the industry, opening MAC's first Harlem store and later working in the elite Flatiron District showroom, where she collaborated with some of the most influential names in beauty and fashion. Working alongside legends such as Charlotte Tilbury and Pat McGrath at New York Fashion Week refined her artistry and deepened her passion for creating beauty that transcends trends. While her expertise spans multiple disciplines, Starr found her true calling in brow artistry. Her innovative approach to eyebrows goes beyond shaping - she sees brows as an expression of identity, confidence, and self-assurance. Through years of refining her technique, she has mastered nano artistry, a cutting-edge approach to permanent makeup that enhances natural beauty with precision and elegance. Her philosophy is simple yet profound: beauty should complement, not overpower. Her work is celebrated for its ability to bring out the best in each individual, seamlessly blending artistry with authenticity. In 2021, Starr took a bold step in her journey and founded Blackshere Beauty, a premier beauty studio dedicated to offering top-tier services in makeup, lashes, and brows.   She believes that creativity thrives in an environment of passion and fulfillment, and she instills this philosophy into every aspect of her work. For Starr, success isn't measured solely by accolades or financial milestones - it's found in the joy of creating, the confidence of her clients, and the lasting impact of her artistry. Through her journey, she has proven that with dedication, adaptability, and a fearless pursuit of passion, the possibilities are limitless.    Key Takeaways 1. Find Your Niche and Own It – Starr explored multiple areas of beauty before discovering her true passion for brow artistry. Your journey may take different paths, but once you find your calling, commit to mastering it. 2. Stay Open to Learning and Evolving – From hair to makeup to brows, Starr constantly refined her skills by seeking new knowledge. Growth comes from embracing change and staying curious about your craft. 3. Step Outside Your Comfort Zone – Moving from San Diego to New York City and stepping into high-profile roles wasn't easy, but Star took the leap. If you want to elevate your career, be willing to take bold steps. 4. Persistence Opens Doors – Starr's journey to MAC wasn't guaranteed, but she prepared, strategized, and positioned herself for success. Keep showing up, refining your skills, and opportunities will follow. 5. Attention to Detail Sets You Apart – Whether it's shaping brows or enhancing a face with makeup, Starr's precision and artistry have made her stand out. The little details can make a big impact in your work. 6. Confidence and Professionalism Are Key – Breaking into new spaces requires more than just talent. Starr's ability to present herself professionally and articulate her expertise helped her grow in the industry. 7. Protect Your Joy and Passion – Success isn't just about money or accolades; it's about finding joy in your work. Starr believes that happiness fuels creativity, and staying passionate is the ultimate key to long-term success.    Quotes 1. “Success as a creative isn't about how much money you make or how many jobs you have - it's about protecting your joy. When you find joy in your craft, creativity flows effortlessly.” 2. “Your journey will have twists and turns, but every experience, good or bad, teaches you something valuable. Stay open, stay learning, and keep evolving.” 3. “Confidence comes from preparation. If you want an opportunity, do the work, sharpen your skills, and show up ready. When the door opens, you'll be prepared to walk through it.” 4. “Excellence is in the details. Whether it's brows, makeup, or business. Refining the small things sets you apart and turns good work into great work.” Connect with Starr Website -  www.Blacksherebeauty.com Instagram -  Instagram.com/Blacksherebeauty Facebook -   Facebook.Com/Blacksherebeautyllc Email - Starr.blackshere@gmail.Com

I have a background in music–classically trained in violin and viola–and that informs the way I go about some of the more technical things I do. It opens me up to endless possibilities.Sustainable living shouldn't be a luxury—it should be the standard. That's the driving philosophy behind Corey Johnson's innovative real estate development project, NEIGHBR. Corey, the founder and CEO of NEIGHBR, is pioneering a bold new approach to housing that integrates sustainability, affordability, and a resort-style community experience."We like to build spaces that positively impact our community and really serve as a prototype for the future of sustainable living," Corey told me in this episode. His development firm isn't just creating housing—it's showcasing what's possible when cutting-edge technology, biophilic design, and eco-conscious infrastructure come together.At the heart of NEIGHBR's vision is an eco-village concept that fuses sustainability with affordability. The project features tiny homes, geodomes, on-site farming, and commercial spaces, all built with renewable energy sources and water conservation systems. “We're using solar, geothermal, rainwater harvesting, on-site composting, and a farmhouse that fosters a circular economy,” Corey explained.What makes NEIGHBR truly unique is its reimagining of financial accessibility in housing. By leveraging investment crowdfunding, Corey is inviting everyday people to be part of the journey from the very beginning. “What I love about this approach is that it allows people to feel like they've been along for the journey,” he said. “I like to believe that those early investors will really be some of our earliest residents.”NEIGHBR is currently raising capital through Funding Hope, an investment platform aligned with the United Nations' sustainable development goals. For Corey, choosing Funding Hope was intentional: “We're after positively impacting the climate. We're about making people better. And Funding Hope shares that mission.”The first NEIGHBR eco-village will take root in Atlanta, Georgia, with plans for rapid expansion nationwide. With a vision to scale sustainable communities across the country, Corey and his team are laying the foundation for a new model of housing—one that isn't just environmentally responsible but also socially transformative.To learn more about NEIGHBR and explore investment opportunities, visit s4g.biz/neighbr.tl;dr:* Corey Johnson's NEIGHBR project is reimagining sustainable housing with eco-friendly, affordable, and community-focused designs.* NEIGHBR integrates renewable energy, biophilic architecture, and financial accessibility to create resort-style eco-villages.* Corey leverages investment crowdfunding through Funding Hope, inviting the public to participate in the project's growth.* Corey's superpower, "artistic engineering," blends technical precision with creative vision to build transformative spaces.* Through innovation and community engagement, NEIGHBR aims to scale sustainable living across the nation, redefining housing for future generations.How to Develop Artistic Engineering As a SuperpowerCorey describes his superpower as "artistic engineering." Rooted in both his background in civil engineering and his classical training in violin and viola, Corey fuses technical precision with creative vision. "I almost feel like I'm Dr. Strange, who can just grab all types of different ideas and actually pull them into reality," he explained. By balancing analytical problem-solving with artistic expression, Corey designs spaces that are not only functional but also deeply engaging and transformative.Corey exemplified his superpower when designing and building a wellness facility in Atlanta. While ensuring the structure met technical and regulatory standards, he infused the space with biophilic elements, including a koi pond, to foster a sense of tranquility. "We can solve real-world problems, but if something doesn't feel good to the human soul when they interact with it, that can be a challenge," he said. His ability to merge aesthetics with engineering created a space that left visitors in awe, proving that artistic engineering can elevate both form and function.Tips for Developing Artistic Engineering:* Embrace Both Logic and Creativity: Don't limit yourself to one way of thinking—tap into both analytical and imaginative processes.* Immerse Yourself in Music: Corey believes listening to classical compositions enhances problem-solving and fosters a deeper understanding of complexity.* Stay Open to Possibilities: Approach challenges with a mindset that solutions can come from unexpected places.* Prioritize Humanity in Design: Consider the emotional and sensory experience of the spaces and products you create.* Observe Nature's Balance: Nature seamlessly integrates structure and beauty—use it as inspiration for your own projects.By following Corey Johnson's example and advice, you can make artistic engineering a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileCorey Johnson (he/him):CEO, Founder, NEIGHBRAbout NEIGHBR: NEIGHBR is a world-building organization dedicated to creating spaces that enhance the human experience at scale.

One of the key pieces of being successful in marketing is having an open mind.Now, I know a lot of us think we have an open mind, but when we're presented with a new idea, a new challenge, just something new that's in our business, our natural tendency is to say wait, stop, I don't know, that's not going to work for me.All these different things, all these beliefs that we have about our business and why it won't work or why that strategy is not the best for us without even really looking at it from an open mind and open perspective.You know, the best marketers in the world and the best people in business are adaptable.They adapt to changes that happen in their business. They have an open mind, they try things out, they test things out, they give it a really good go and then make the determination there if it's best for their business.So when you're approaching your business and anything new that you encounter in your marketing comes up, I want you just to stop and listen and have that open mind. Listen first before you make any judgment, before you put the hands up and say, this won't work for me. Listen with an open mind first and then from there, try it out, put yourself out there, take those steps, you know, find a mentor that's going to help you along the way to really give it a good try before you make that determination. But have that open mind first, that's the first key step because an open mind can lead to so many opportunities in your business, but you have to be open to listen. So keep that open mind.

Today's episode focuses on how the Holy Spirit guides us in the often complex decision-making process of giving. Drawing wisdom from Galatians 5:25, we will explore the Spirit's role in our financial and resource stewardship, ensuring that our giving is not only generous but also wise and divinely directed.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Galatians 5:25: "Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit." This verse calls us to align every aspect of our lives, including our generosity, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.Giving is more than a mechanical act; it's a spiritual discipline influenced by the Holy Spirit. Today, we'll uncover how the Spirit can influence when, where, and how much we give, making our generosity a powerful tool for kingdom impact.The Holy Spirit's Guidance in Giving:* Prompting Generosity: The Holy Spirit often prompts us to give, sometimes unexpectedly, guiding us to opportunities where our resources can make a significant difference.* Discerning the Amount: Just as the Spirit led the early church in Acts to meet specific needs, He gives us discernment about how much to give to effectively support God's work without compromising our stewardship.Role of the Spirit in Guiding Our Generosity:* Wisdom in Allocation: The Holy Spirit provides wisdom on how to allocate our resources, helping us make decisions that reflect God's priorities and kingdom values.* Discernment in Timing: Timing can be crucial in giving. The Spirit guides us to act swiftly or wait, depending on God's timing, maximizing the impact of our gifts.Tips for Allowing the Holy Spirit to Direct Your Giving:* Pray Before Giving: Before making a commitment to give, take time to pray and seek the Holy Spirit's guidance to ensure your giving is Spirit-led.* Stay Open and Responsive: Maintain a posture of openness to the Holy Spirit's prompting, even when it challenges your preconceived plans or comfort.* Seek Confirmation: When unsure, seek confirmation through God's Word, the counsel of godly mentors, and the peace that comes from a Spirit-aligned decision.ConclusionThe act of giving, guided by the Holy Spirit, is a profound expression of faith and obedience. It reflects a heart aligned with God's desires and a trust in His provision and timing. By relying on the Holy Spirit, our giving becomes an act of worship and a testament to our commitment to God's kingdom.A Question of the Day: In what area of your giving do you need more of the Holy Spirit's guidance, and how can you seek His direction this week?Growth Challenge: Commit to a period of prayer and fasting over your finances. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any areas where your giving can be more aligned with God's will and to show you any opportunities where you might be called to make a difference.Let's Pray: Father, thank You for giving us the Holy Spirit as our guide in all things, including our finances. Help us to be sensitive to His leading, generous in our giving, and wise in our decisions. May our resources be used for Your glory and the extension of Your kingdom. Amen.As we continue to navigate our financial stewardship, let's commit to being led by the Spirit, ensuring that our generosity is not just frequent but also thoughtful and impactful.

Many people struggle to find their purpose, but with the right mindset and approach, you can uncover your true calling and live a more fulfilling life. Here are some tips to help you discover your purpose with a positive mindset.   1. Cultivate Self-Awareness Start by reflecting on your values, interests, and strengths. What activities bring you joy and fulfillment? What are you passionate about? By understanding yourself better, you can align your life with your core values and passions, leading to a more purposeful existence.   2.

Break them down into smaller, achievable steps, and celebrate your progress along the way. This will help you stay motivated and focused on your purpose.   3. Embrace Challenges as Opportunities Challenges are a natural part of life, but they can also be opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Instead of viewing challenges as setbacks, see them as opportunities to learn and grow stronger. A positive mindset can help you navigate challenges with resilience and determination.   4. Surround Yourself with Positive Influences Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you on your journey. Positive influences can help you stay motivated and focused on your purpose. Seek out mentors, friends, and colleagues who inspire you and share your values.   5. Practice Gratitude Cultivate a sense of gratitude for the blessings in your life, no matter how small. Gratitude can shift your perspective and help you focus on the positive aspects of your life. This can lead to a more positive mindset and a greater sense of purpose.   6. Stay Open to New Experiences Be open to new experiences and opportunities that come your way. Trying new things can help you discover new passions and interests that you may not have considered before. Stay curious and adventurous, and you may find your true calling in unexpected places.   Discovering your purpose is a journey that requires self-reflection, openness, and a positive mindset. By cultivating self-awareness, setting meaningful goals, embracing challenges, surrounding yourself with positive influences, practicing gratitude, and staying open to new experiences, you can uncover your true calling and live a life filled with purpose and meaning.

In this episode of "Flourish or Fold," I am very excited to share my profound discussion with bestselling author and keynote speaker Davin Salvagno on themes that are near and dear to me, resilience and life purpose. This episode delves deep into the challenges people face and how these challenges can serve as invitations to discover and embrace their purpose. We discuss how life's challenges can serve as invitations to discover and embrace one's purpose. Davin shares personal experiences, including his recent move to Charlotte, North Carolina, highlighting that purpose is a continuous journey shaped by various moments. Davin emphasizes that resilience involves reframing challenges as growth opportunities. Below, we break down the key insights and actionable advice shared during this enlightening discussion.Understanding Purpose as a Continuous JourneyWe began by challenging the common notion that discovering one's purpose is a singular, life-defining moment. We reference a quote from Mark Twain, which states that the two most important days in a person's life are the day they are born and the day they discover their purpose. However, we both agree that this idea can be misleading.Key Takeaways:Purpose is Multifaceted: Purpose often manifests in multiple ways throughout our lives. It is not a single event but a series of moments and experiences that shape our understanding of who we are and what we are meant to do.Invitations and Signposts: Davin introduces the concept of "invitations" or "signposts" that guide individuals toward their purpose. These can be significant life events, challenges, or even subtle nudges that steer us in a particular direction.Actionable Advice:Reflect on Past Experiences: Take time to reflect on significant moments in your life. Identify patterns or recurring themes that may point toward your purpose.Stay Open to New Opportunities: Be open to new experiences and challenges, as they can serve as invitations to explore different aspects of your purpose.Reframing ChallengesDavin suggests a shift in mindset: challenges often happen for us, not to us. While some tragedies in life are inexplicable, most challenges can be reframed as opportunities for growth and learning.Key Takeaways:Growth Through Adversity: Challenges can serve as significant catalysts for uncovering our purpose. They often evoke deep emotions and lead us to want to help others facing similar struggles.No Pain is Wasted: Taryn resonates with this perspective, noting that every experience contributes to personal growth and character development.Actionable Advice:Reframe Your Challenges: When faced with a challenge, ask yourself what you can learn from the experience and how it can contribute to your growth.Seek Support: Surround yourself with supportive individuals who can help you navigate difficult times and provide perspective.Building ResilienceResilience is not just about enduring hardships but also about transforming those experiences into opportunities for growth and connection with others.Key Takeaways:Resilience as a Skill: Resilience can be cultivated through understanding that every experience contributes to our growth and understanding of who we are meant to be.Purpose Points: Davin introduces the concept of "purpose points," pivotal moments in life that shape one's character and understanding of purpose.Actionable Advice:Develop a Resilience Toolkit: Equip yourself with tools and strategies to build resilience, such as mindfulness practices, journaling, and seeking mentorship.Embrace the Journey: Understand that discovering your purpose is a continuous process. Embrace each moment and experience as part of your journey.Personal Challenges and SacrificesDavin shares his personal experience of moving to Charlotte, North Carolina, which he describes as one of the most challenging experiences of his life. This transition required significant sacrifices and brought about emotional struggles for his family.Key Takeaways:Prioritizing What Matters: Davin emphasizes the importance of being present for his family during this challenging time, allowing space for their emotions and struggles.Trust Over Clarity: He shares a quote from Mother Teresa, stating that she never had clarity, only trust, which resonates deeply with him during this season of uncertainty.Actionable Advice:Be Present: During times of transition, prioritize what is most important in each moment. Be present for yourself and your loved ones.Trust the Process: Even when the future is unclear, trust that your journey will reveal its purpose in time.Identifying and Combating Negative ThoughtsDavin discusses the concept of "thieves of purpose," which are thoughts that can rob individuals of their purpose and potential, such as comparison, fear, doubt, and the pursuit of success.Key Takeaways:Awareness of Negative Thoughts: Recognize and combat negative thoughts that undermine your sense of purpose.Success vs. Significance: While success can be fulfilling, it can also distract from the deeper significance of life, which lies in making a meaningful impact on others.Actionable Advice:Practice Self-Awareness: Regularly check in with yourself to identify any negative thoughts or beliefs that may be holding you back.Focus on Impact: Shift your focus from pursuing success to making a meaningful impact on others.This episode of "Flourish or Fold" serves as a powerful reminder that resilience and purpose are intricately connected.
