Steereo Co-Founder Sean McKenzie is driven by music. It’s a drive that’s led him to a one-of-a-kind business solution for ride-share app drivers. The Steereo app is a music discovery platform used by drivers and compensates them for streaming music to their passengers. Find out how Sean came up with ONE solution for problems spanning across multiple industries and how that dovetailed perfectly into a win/win for everyone. Grey Interviewer: Kenny Gold

Welcome back to Tech Forward, listeners! For this week’s rebroadcast, I’m excited to share my conversation with Sean McKenzie, Co-Founder and Director of Driver Engagement at Steereo. By combining the power of music streaming with the popularity of ridesharing, Steereo is a music discovery app that gives emerging artists exposure and valuable data, while compensating rideshare drivers. Sean is an award-winning entrepreneur and a 3-time founder with a strong background in brand strategy, consumer insights, and market forecasting. He also serves as an advisory council member at Fund for Public Housing. Today on the show we’ll be discussing his career path, his approach to hiring at Steereo, and some of the ways he uses his experience to give back to his community. The idea for Steereo came from a chance meeting between Sean and his team, and a Lyft driver with excellent musical taste. Realizing that rideshare drivers often act as DJs for their clients, Sean proposed the idea for a platform where up-and-coming artists could allow drivers to stream their music. The benefits are twofold. Along with the exposure to a larger audience, artists on the Steereo platform also gain access to a wealth of data, including where, when, and even how loudly it gets played. Drivers are compensated for this airtime in turn, accumulating funds over time much like a fare meter. When it came to creating the app, Sean noted, “People of color are great at creating content that lives on these innovative platforms, but they aren’t necessarily creating those platforms where that content lives. If there’s a demand for this, why not us? Why can’t we build it?” This passionate attitude has been a common thread throughout Sean’s career trajectory. As a 3-time founder, he cites every step of the journey as an important part of where he is today. For any listeners out there considering pursuing their own ambitions of entrepreneurship, Sean has two key pieces of advice. First and foremost, don’t wait for a perfect product to launch — “When it comes to building tech products, great can be the enemy of good enough. Don’t let great slow you down. Get your core function nailed down, put it out, let your users break it and then iterate from there.” Furthermore, he recommends maintaining that lean, early-stage passion as much as possible as the business grows. “Even when you have more resources, treat your product as if you don’t.” In addition to his work at Steereo, Sean is also a member of the advisory council for New York City’s Fund for Public Housing. At a time when more people than ever are in need of affordable housing, federal funding for these programs has unfortunately dwindled. “My entire existence can be attributed to affordable public housing. I am a direct result of these programs and they just aren’t really there anymore. It’s important for me to give back in this way, because our experiences shape who we are and how we view the world. If I can shape a kid’s viewpoint and their confidence, then that is my life’s work, beyond anything else I do in the tech industry.” Sean, thank you so much for coming onto the show and sharing with us the work you’re doing both with Steereo, and with the Fund for Public Housing. Thank you as well to everyone out there listening, reviewing, and sharing the show. See you next week! Connect with us Website | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook

http://annettbone.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/powerfulimpact.png ()Alonzo King LINES Ballet embraces a spirit of inquiry and openness to change combined with a reverence for legacy and history.-Core Ideology of LINES Ballet-Session Summary:Feature Presentation: There are many ways to make a powerful impact in dance, life and business. Alonzo King LINES Ballet made a powerful impact with an exquisite balance of ease, power and grace in their recent production of Sutra at The Wallis that inspired the 5 following thoughts: 1. It's not about delighting the senses all the time but testing the mindset. Yoga is a great example where this is tested more often than not. 2. There is a balance of effort and ease in many things. Professionals like the dancers in LINES Ballet make it look easy, but we know that takes a lot of work. 3. Cutting things out that are not connecting. Combining East and West in this production showed the possibilities and importance of this. I also referenced an aspect of this in http://annettbone.com/193 (Session 193). 4. Parameters can serve a purpose. For example, the body aesthetic in this company is clear with the beautiful lines that all the dancers had. I thought all companies were looking for these, but that's not the case. You might not fit these parameters but that doesn't make you less important, or less of an artist. Establish your parameters whether it's in your daily disciplines or the types of input you ingest from food, to reading material, to other forms of media. 5. Are you looking for longevity or popularity? Is your mission to leave a legacy or simply make an impression? You can still make an impression but are you looking beyond the immediate?

Unless you've lived under a rock, you know Ben Higgins from ABC's The Bachelor.  But what you may not know is that this man has a heart for social good, faith, and leadership. He understands that purchasing power can and should be used to make an impact. This episode, I talk with Ben Higgins about life on The Bachelor, his faith, and his work creating sustainable change through his for profit organization, Generous Coffee. Life After The Bachelor When you're on The Bachelor, you all of a sudden have an audience and millions of eyes are on your life. While it's so easy to use this newfound fame and get a big head, Ben has committed to making a difference in the world. Ben remembers a time when he enjoyed having all eyes on him as the bachelor, but it didn't last. “The euphoric feeling of having your ego stroked ended- I was left to question a lot of things” Faith and Work He recognizes the partnership between faith and action.  Instead of just praying things into existence, which is important, he knows we have vital roles to play in creating a world and culture of hope and change. “I don't think we give ourselves enough credit sometimes.” “God has entrusted us with skills, intelligence, and wisdom to get to a place where we can be good stewards for the world He has created for us.” We have to deconstruct our beliefs to strengthen our why's and live with integrity. Ben often thinks back to this quote: “Live your life like you'll be written about in the Bible.” Creating Lasting Change Ben's friend Riley Fuller started a non-profit called Humanity and Hope United, which focuses on ending poverty in Honduras. Ben and Riley witnessed the poverty and saw that they were being helped, but not in a way that would create lasting change. He remembered being angry about what he saw for years after until Riley suggested they partner with these countries. They partnered with communities in Honduras to support them in reaching their goals.   Six years in he was overwhelmed with the realization that small businesses were succeeding and children were graduating school. Today's ceiling is tomorrow's floor.  Ben challenges himself and others to never get complacent, “How far have we come, and how far can we go?” Generous Coffee He recognizes that The Bachelor gave him a platform that allowed him to get funding for their project, but that it won't last forever. Two years ago, he and Riley started Generous Coffee as a for-profit business to help fund the non-profit. Now, Ben is the operating president, chief executive officer, and co-founder along with Drew Scholl and Riley Fuller. Their coffee comes from nine different countries. T-shirts are made from water bottles by women in Haiti. Beyond non-profits, there are so many for-profits that donate a portion of their profits to causes they believe in, like Newman's Own. Following in the footsteps of this, Ben is looking forward to continuing his work with Generous Coffee. “When you see a purpose, no matter how big or small, stay in your lane and pursue it and complete it and do it with vigor.” This week's episode is brought to you by Generous Coffee. It creates a community that creates sustainable change and believes in the unique power of the human being. It is a for-profit business and they're always partnering with organizations that share their values. Join the movement! Go to generousmovement.com to see their products and what they're up to.

Integrated feminine wholeness coach Morgan Day Cecil's message is that God designed you to embrace your inner sexy, and you deserve to lean into it. We are new friends, and already her femininity has inspired me. I hope she will inspire you to embrace your womanhood and sexiness as well. We talk about owning your sexuality for you, and not another person. We explore a topic I never have discussed publicly yet:  self-pleasure a.k.a. masturbation.  How to Embrace Your Sexuality When women ask how to embrace their sexuality, they are asking the permission to find freedom. “We want a feeling of authenticity and freedom and wholeness in this area of life that sometimes seems scary and shameful.” The typical definition of ‘sex' is focused on the male experience. “I want to feel alive. I want to feel desired, loved, wanted.” Often, people see sex as the answer to these needs. Morgan recalls how her relationship with sex changed before and after becoming Christian and finding a deeper understanding of her sexuality. “I started experiencing my sexuality through sensuality.” Your Sexuality Is for You One of the biggest lies I believed was that my sexuality was for another person. But then I bought myself some La Perla lingerie for me, because I am worth being connected to my sexuality whether or not a man gets to experience that. Morgan went on a retreat in Rome and distinctly remembers bringing these women to buy lingerie for themselves. “It doesn't have to be about men. When that masculine energy comes in, we feel like we are in the seat of power. Not power over, but power that belongs to us because we are inhabiting our wholeness.” Too often, female sexuality is seen as dangerous and manipulative. “It's this divine dance of intimacy that we are invited to be a part of.” Coming to a deeper understanding your own sexuality is to become closer to God. “Start intentionally making love with nature.” Heartbreak to Healing Morgan found herself pregnant with the child of a man who wanted nothing to do with it. She reflects on the moments of loneliness in this time. Fear and anxiety led her to the hospital, but she left with a clearer vision for her life. “I empowered myself to do what I could from where I was at.” She was in the Cinderella mindset: “Somebody else has the power to give me a beautiful life.” Inviting God into the Desire Masturbation is one of the number thinsg Christian women ask us about. Intentional self-pleasuring can be a very sacred practice. Most people masturbate in a fantasy that is devoid of any real emotion. We talk about the slippery slope between the experiences women can have with self-pleasure. To avoid the wrong experiences, we have to ask ourselves, “What story preceded this desire? Was it a story where the theme is fear or love?” If self-pleasure seems like a big step for you, go at the pace you feel comfortable with. Maybe that means just being present in nature. This is your journey and you make all of the decisions. I am so grateful for Morgan and for this unexpected turn in our conversation that I hope will speak to your souls. You can keep up with her at her website. She also posts videos to YouTube daily and she has a workbook available called “A New Narrative.” This episode is brought to you by Steereo.com.
