In this electrifying episode of Espresso Talk Today, host Ama-Robin demands Black liberation and discusses dismantling the existing white supremacist structures that force us to "make a way out of no way." We explore the true cost of resilience and the necessity of envisioning a world where Black people thrive, not just survive. Drawing on the powerful words of Audre Lorde and the transformative work of Angela Davis, Kali Akuno, and Bryan Stevenson, Ama-Robin calls for the dismantling of oppressive systems and the creation of new ones founded on justice, equity, and liberation. Through radical rest, cultural healing, and community empowerment, we reimagine a society where Black lives truly matter. Tune in for an inspiring journey of collective action, solidarity, and an unwavering commitment to a liberated future. Bonus Content: 6 Steps Toward Achieving Black Liberation Educate Ourselves: Take the time to learn about the history and mechanisms of oppression, including systemic racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of discrimination. Understanding the roots of these systems is essential for challenging them effectively. Imagine Alternatives: Engage in speculative thinking and imagine alternative futures where oppressive systems have been dismantled. Afro-futurist literature and art can provide valuable inspiration for envisioning new possibilities beyond the constraints of the present. Challenge Assumptions: Question the assumptions and norms that underpin existing systems of oppression. Challenge stereotypes, biases, and hierarchies that perpetuate inequality and limit individual potential. Build Solidarity: Foster connections and build alliances with individuals and communities that share a commitment to social justice and liberation. Collective action is essential for challenging entrenched power structures and effecting meaningful change. Take Action: Take concrete steps to challenge oppression and advocate for justice in your community and beyond. This can include participating in protests, supporting grassroots organizations, advocating for policy changes, and engaging in acts of solidarity and resistance. Practice Self-Reflection: Reflect on your privileges and biases, and commit to ongoing self-education and personal growth. Recognize how you may unknowingly perpetuate systems of oppression, and strive to be an ally and accomplice in the fight for liberation.

"Just be the best version" is a powerful mantra that encourages continuous self-improvement and personal growth. It implies striving for excellence and becoming the best possible version of yourself in all aspects of life. Here are some key points to consider when striving to be the best version of yourself: Self-Reflection: Take time for self-reflection to assess your strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Self-awareness is the first step toward personal growth. Set Goals: Define clear and achievable goals that align with your values and aspirations. Setting specific targets can provide direction and motivation for self-improvement. Continuous Learning: Embrace a mindset of continuous learning and development.

Healthy Habits: Adopt healthy habits that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Prioritize activities such as exercise, proper nutrition, mindfulness, and adequate rest. Positive Mindset: Cultivate a positive mindset and focus on opportunities for growth and improvement. Emphasize optimism, gratitude, and resilience in the face of challenges. Embrace Challenges: View challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. Embrace discomfort and adversity as catalysts for personal development and learning. Seek Feedback: Request feedback from trusted mentors, peers, or friends. Constructive feedback can provide valuable insights and help you identify areas for self-improvement. Take Action: Take proactive steps toward achieving your goals and aspirations. Be persistent and determined in your efforts to overcome obstacles and reach your full potential. Practice Empathy: Cultivate empathy and understanding toward others. Building meaningful connections and relationships can contribute to your personal growth and overall well-being. Celebrate Progress: Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small. Recognize the progress you've made and use it as motivation to continue striving for personal excellence. By incorporating these principles into your daily life, you can actively work toward becoming the best version of yourself. Remember that personal growth is a continuous journey that requires dedication, self-awareness, and a commitment to lifelong learning and development.

This week, in continuation of our Sales / Marketing series, John interviews Jack Daly, a leading speaker, author, and trainer of sales, sales management and culture with over 30 years of sales and executive experience. According to Jack, more than 90% of companies don't have a sales playbook and the cornerstone of highly successful salespeople (less than 15% of sellers) is practice and sacrifice. It is imperative as a business owner to focus on what you have control over and be laser focused on adding value – not just selling. Calling on the right prospects (fewer and better), engaging in high payoff activities and practicing before meeting with the client (not practicing on the client) are all ways to ensure value for your client and it's never been easier than now. Goals and focus proceed success so take action and take some risks.

#148: Why should you consider investing in mortgage notes? How can investing in mortgage notes, specifically notes where the borrower is not making all of their payments, can be profitable? Our guest, Jamie Bateman, explains how he began investing in mortgage notes and created significant returns by buying notes at 50-60% discounts. He tells our listeners how he finds notes online, which notes are the best to purchase, and how to flip the properties to maximize his returns.  He also shows the reason purchasing notes pairs well with IBC and how both investments offer an incredible amount of control when compared to traditional IRAs or 401Ks. Since 2018, he has grown his portfolio to includes over 20 notes in 10+ states and now works to help others discover how they can earn income through note investing.  This is an episode that shows how unconventional methods of investing in real estate and IBC pair together perfectly, so you won’t want to miss this conversation with Jamie Bateman.

Often as ministry leaders, business owners, or in our regular work or home life, we have big goals. We can see the vision of where we want to go. But we sometimes get sidetracked and end up spending a lot of time on things that aren’t actually moving us closer to that goal. In this first episode of our Simplify Series, Holly and I are discussing the idea of simplifying with strategy. Specifically, we are sharing some basic steps to creating a strategic plan for your business or ministry.  “When you create a plan for doing something, it actually helps you to simplify your life, your business, and your time.” - Esther Note: Holly and I are not experts in strategic planning, but we do have some experience in this area. We are keeping this episode simple because we want it to be actionable for anyone, even if you have no project management or strategic planning experience.   Why do we need a strategic plan? There are 4 benefits to creating a strategic plan for your business or ministry:   Time savings: When you have a strategy and a plan, you’re less likely to waste time on things that don’t matter.  Focus: You’re more likely to focus on the things that have the highest return on investment, as Tembi Secrist shared in episode 83. Clarity: It makes it easier for everyone to know what you are doing, where you are going, and how they should spend their time. Stewardship: we can be better stewards of the resources God has given us when we implement a strategic plan.    A Simple Framework to Create a Strategic Plan: I’m going way back to my years as a social worker to help us through this concept of creating a strategic plan.    That might seem strange, because social work is not usually associated with strategic planning. But as a caseworker working with kids in foster care as well as kids with behavioral challenges, I had to write treatment plans. These plans were essentially the guide that we used to show what we were providing for services with the kids and how we were supporting them towards making improvements in their situations.   The framework below is based on the plans that I used to write as a social worker. We’re keeping it basic, but you can do some research and find lots more resources to get into more details on strategic planning if you wish.   We will walk through the basic steps of creating a strategic plan, and during this process, Holly will share from a specific example of a project we worked on at our church. Step 1: Identify the overall vision In episode 26, we talked about the idea of creating a vision for the future. It’s important to get down on paper what the vision or end goal for your ministry or business is. This step may also include creating a summary of what the strengths and weaknesses are within the organization.   Step 2: Identify 2-3 goals that will help move you towards the vision In this step, you’ll want to ask: What are the projects or goals that are going to help that vision actually come to fruition? Ideally these are things that will be more specific than the general vision.   “Most of the time, whether individually or as a business or ministry, we are more effective when we focus on less things and focus on finishing them.” - Esther Step 3: For each goal, identify 2-3 objectives needed to accomplish each goal You can see we are getting more granular as we go through the process. These could be the daily habits that you need to put into place in order to accomplish a goal. Or they could be smaller mini-goals.  Step 4: Determine who is responsible for each of the items on your plan Without this, your plan is doomed! If there is not clarity around who is doing what, then there’s no way the plan will be accomplished. Or, it is very likely that things will be missed or time will be wasted.   “If there is not clarity around who is doing what, then there’s no way the plan will be accomplished.”   Part of determining who will do what is knowing where each person’s greatest contribution lies, as we discussed earlier. Another piece of this is making sure that you are open to delegating and getting team participation as discussed in episode 42.    Step 5: Identify the timeframe Make sure you know the timeframe for the project or plan you are working towards. You may also want to create smaller time frames for the objectives or smaller goals from step 3.    It’s also possible that you decide to do your project or goal in phases, so this can be outlined within the strategic plan. If your project has 3 phases, you may end up creating a plan for each phase.   90 days is typically a good timeframe for plans, but you can choose the amount of time that works well for your particular situation. Step 6: Evaluate and update the plan You may not hit your targets or unexpected changes may have come up during the plan. It’s important to evaluate where you are at before your target date arrives, and then update the plan as needed.   Questions to ask for this step: Did you accomplish the goals and/or objectives you set out to do? If so, yay! If not, you may want to add them back into the new plan. Are there new goals you want to accomplish? Great, get them down onto paper for the next plan you are creating. A few caveats to creating a strategic plan: Sometimes there is pushback and resistance to creating a plan. This is normal. Keep in mind that a creative person or visionary may want or needs some flexibility to make adaptations or changes along the way. For someone who is more structured, you may need to realize not everything is going to work exactly according to your plan, and you still need to allow for changes or pivots. Remember that capacity is an important factor in your strategic plan.   “It’s important to remember that things are going to pop up that you weren’t expecting… pushback from others, resistance, and getting yourself on task is difficult at times.” - Holly   We hope this conversation has helped you to see that creating a strategic plan does not have to be complicated. And having a plan can actually help simplify your ministry or business life. Take Action: Take the time to sit down and create your plan!

In Episode 61, Working With Influencer Communities to Build Your Brand, we talked about how you can leverage the audience of an influencer to build your brand. Be sure to listen to that episode as well to make the most of the connections with influencers that you make using these four methods. Method 1: Join Influencer Community Many influencers have Facebook groups, both public and private. The private groups are a better way to get on the radar with influencers because there are fewer people and they are easier to approach in these groups. Interact within the group to let influencers know that you're there and you care, especially during live video streams. Be front and center so you stand out and when you approach them, they'll be more familiar. You're more likely to get seen, be heard and have an opportunity to approach the influencer. If you have value to add to the conversation, speak up. It helps the influencer, but also helps the others in your community and makes you look like a leader within the community. Method 2: Connect with Influencers and Be Helpful Check and see if you are connected through mutual friends on Facebook or LinkedIn. Do you see anyone you know connecting with the influencer you are interested? When approaching an influencer, come from a place of helpfulness. Volunteering and helping is the smartest tactic to get in front of people because it's appreciated and people will remember you. Method 3: Reach Out to Influencers Through Social Media Use Twitter to reach out to influencers. Madalyn shares how she reached influencers for her #TwitterSmarter podcast when it first launched in 2015. Right now, Instagram is a great way to reach out to influencers through comments on stories or direct messages. Many influencers have said they are still personally checking these, even if they have a team handle other channels. Method 4: Ask Friends for Recommendations Ask friends which influencers they follow and listen to and then start showing up, using the steps above. Take Action Take the dream list of ten people who you would love to collaborate with and use the techniques above to start reaching out to one or more of them. Come visit us in the Facebook group and share how it goes.

With social media today, it’s so easy to get lost in the noise. Many people ask me how to build a personal brand. It’s a lot of work, it takes dedication and it requires providing value. However, here are 7 tips for you to get yourself started down the path of a personal brand. 1. GET TO KNOW YOURSELF! This takes reflection and understand of WHO you are and accepting that person fully. 2. KNOW HOW YOU WANT TO PRESENT YOURSELF Decide where you’re going to ‘play’ and how you are going to do it. 3. ADD YOUR OWN FLAIR What are your passions or hobbies? Favorite sports team? Be sure to show that off. Don’t be afraid to show that flair! 4. BE CONSISTENT WITH YOUR MESSAGING Your words and actions, everywhere, must match. Consistency = Integrity. 5. TAKE ACTION Take action! Go out there and get it done. It starts with YOU and ends with ACTION. 6. BE YOUR BRAND! You are your biggest advocate. 7. Surround yourself with a good team  Andiamo! About Vincenzo Landino: Vincenzo Landino is a brand correspondent, speaker, and live streaming strategist. He has worked with brands such as Applebee’s, Barilla Pasta, DC United, Homes.com, SAP, Tinder and more!          

"Don't think. FEEEEEEEEL! It's like a finger pointing away to the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all of the heavenly glory!" In this scene from Enter the Dragon, Bruce is teaching his student about the importance of staying fully present in the moment. If you just concentrate on the finger, you’ll miss the glorious experience of the moon. We often take ourselves out of a moment we are experiencing for many reasons—to analyze it, to think about it, or document it. Even when we pause to take a picture of a beautiful sunset, we have to leave the moment of experiencing that sunset to take the picture. When we do this, we lose the feeling of the moment. “There’s too much tendency to look inward at one’s moods and to try and evaluate them, to stand on the outside and try to look inside is futile. It’s like turning on a light to look at darkness. Analyze it and it’s gone.” “Feeling exists here and now when not interrupted and dissected by ideas or concepts. The moment we stop analyzing and let go we can start really seeing, feeling as one whole." An important part of the lesson Bruce is giving in this scene is about the process of relating, being in relationship with the whole thing, not isolated. “To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person, relationship is a process of self-revelation, relationship is the mirror in which you discover yourself. To be is to be related.” “To live is a constant process of relating, so come out of that shell of isolation and conclusion, and relate directly to what is being said." So many of us are hungering for a connection, even if we don’t know to articulate it. What’s driving a lot of the pain in the world is viewing people or the planet as separate from us or as the “other.” “The primary reality is not what I think, but what I live.” “I do not experience, I am experience, I am awareness.” Bruce Lee was living in the present moment all the time. Take Action: Take note when you pull away from an experience to analyze it or try to hold onto it. When you feel the connectedness or excitement of the moment, instead of pulling away just be with it. Compare this feeling to when you pull away and document or think about the moment. Another practice is to have a moment of silence when you feel that connected experience to stay in the moment. #AAHA This week our #AAHA shout-out goes to Sammy Lee, the first Asian American man to win Olympic gold and the first American man to win two consecutive golds in platform diving. Sammy Lee was named to US Olympic Hall of Fame in 1990. Lee was also a physician and served in the US Army Medical Corps in South Korea and coached several Olympian divers. He learned to dive at a public pool in Pasadena, but was only allowed to go on Wednesdays, the only day Latinos, Asians, and African Americans were allowed to use the pool. Then the pool was drained and refilled with clean water. Even after becoming an Olympian, Lee continued to face discrimination, including being told he could not buy a house in a certain neighborhood. Sammy Lee Square is named after him in Koreatown, he has a spot on the Anaheim Walk of Stars, and an elementary school named after him. Sammy Lee, we honor you and think you’re awesome! #BruceLeeMoment This week our #BruceLeeMoment comes from Kristy, read more at brucelee.com/podcast: “Being keen to journal, I previously wrote down my bigger 'why' or purpose and steps to achieving what I most desired. However, I noticed, there it was again…that striver giving me plans, actions, strategies to be better - to become perfect! So, instead after your podcast I decided to revisit my why, and come up with my own affirmations and anchors back to stillness when my mind becomes noisy, not to become perfect, but instead to simply acknowledge and celebrate who I am.” Share your #AAHA and #BruceLeeMoment recommendations or your #ActionItem progress with us via social media @BruceLee or email us at hello@brucelee.com
