Whether you've been told you're too smart, or too ambitious, you're just getting started.We Also Talk About…How Alexis built a luxury brand while navigating the pressures of maintaining a full-time corporate careerThe realities of burnout when you're balancing multiple careers and passionsThe impact of hate comments and the challenges of staying confident as a woman in businessRedefining what “relatable” really means in a world that expects women to shrinkWhy being unapologetically ambitious is necessary—and how to own itResources:Follow Alexis on Instagram @alexisbarberFollow Too Collective on Instagram @toocollectiveListen to Alexis' podcast Too Smart for ThisCheck out Too Smart for This: A Journal to Build Self-Trust and Stop Settling for Less Than You Deserve by Alexis BarberSubscribe to Too Collective on SubstackCheck out my new brand Spacious Rituals and get your virtual planner for 2025!Keep in touch:Follow on IG: @shessoluckypod @lesalfredFollow on TikTok @shessoluckypod @lesalfredVisit our website at balancedblackgirl.comSponsors:LMNT | LMNT is a zero sugar electrolyte drink mix with a research-backed ratio of electrolytes.

The link I mentioned today is: https://emailmarketingheroes.com/28Email marketing is about to change forever—and you need to know how. Imagine staying one step ahead of everyone else, crafting emails that dominate inboxes, and using cutting-edge tools to skyrocket sales. That's exactly what this guide will do for you. From AI breakthroughs to the sneaky trends that could tank your business, we've got it all. Grab your coffee and buckle up because this is the email marketing ride of the year!The AI Revolution: How Smart is Too Smart?Artificial intelligence isn't coming—it's already here, and it's only getting better. In 2025, AI tools are smarter than ever. The trick? Train one of those powerful large language models (LLMs) to write just like YOU.Picture this: you feed the AI transcripts of your podcasts, interviews, or videos. It learns your tone, your style, even your quirks. Want to send an email about a funny moment at the movies? AI can help you turn that story into a polished email, complete with a call-to-action to boost sales.The result? You save hours of work while still sounding 100% authentic. Sure, it's not perfect—it'll never replace your best writing on a good day. But on those uninspired mornings? It's a lifesaver.Focus, Focus, Focus: Why Sales Are Everything Under $1 MillionIf your business is making less than $1 million a year, here's your mantra: sales. Forget chasing shiny objects. Forget overcomplicating things. It's all about getting more customers, converting them faster, and increasing their value.Here's the breakdown:Advertising: Make sure people even know you exist.List Building: Get them onto your email list where the magic happens.Messaging: Nail the words that make your audience say, “This is for me.”30-Day Value: Know how much a customer is worth in their first month.The secret sauce? Use credit cards (responsibly!) to fund ads. With 30 days to break even, your email strategy has to work fast—and we'll show you how.The Commoditization of Information: Why Your Course Might Be DOAThis might be the scariest trend of all. AI is making information ridiculously easy to get. Need a fitness plan? A chatbot can whip one up in seconds. Want a college study guide? Boom, it's done. The result? People are less willing to pay for “just information.”To survive, you need to do three things:Create a True Unique Mechanism: A fancy name isn't enough. Your method has to truly deliver results in a way nobody else can.Develop Unique Products: Think beyond courses. One marketer created a massive swipe file of rare direct mail pieces—thousands of pages nobody else could replicate. What can you offer that's truly one-of-a-kind?Offer Services: People want more than info. They want help implementing it. Teach your audience everything for free, then sell the “done-for-you” service to those who want it.This is how you stand out in a world drowning in generic courses and copycat tools.Why “Sticky” Subject Lines Win Every TimeLet's talk subject lines. Over the holidays, one stood out: “Why is this so sticky?” Here's why it worked like magic:It's a Question: Questions spark curiosity. People want answers.What's “This”?: It could mean anything! You have to open the email to find out.Sticky” Is Loaded: It's positive, negative, mysterious—and irresistible.Use this formula to boost your open rates and keep your audience hooked. Don't just write emails; write emails they can't wait to read.The Future of Mobile: Are Your Emails...

Too Smart for Our Own Good 2 Chronicles 16 Pastor Brian Green

In this episode of Boardroom Beauty, we collaborated with Too Smart for This Podcast by Alexis Barber, the founder of TOO Collective, a wellness brand. Because August is Black Business Month, we decided to have a chat with two of our favorite black beauty founders to give us the real on their current state of being in a world where DEI is under attack and access to capital is very limited. Desiree Verdejo is the founder of Hyper Skin, a vegan, clean, and cruelty free skincare line focused on melanated skin by treating hyperpigmentation. The lawyer-turned-beauty entrepreneur launched her brand and has had tremendous success via international retailer, Sephora.Karen Young is the founder of Oui the People, a body care line striving to elevate the standards and experiences of the body care category with the mission to have everyone feel seen within their self care routine.She has bee very vocal in recent months and gone viral for her video stating that "many of your favorite black beauty brands may close down this year" due to lack of capital. In a recent press article in Entrepreneur magazine, Karen said, "There's a marked recession within a recession that Black women founders in particular are facing," says Young. "The clawback of the capital has been visible and painful for many of us." For part 2 of this episode, head over to the Too Smart for This Podcast!

As we continue this “Reality Check” series diving into the archives. Venture into the depths of Ecclesiastes as we navigate Solomon's quest for life's true meaning, beginning from chapter 1, verse 12. In this episode, "Too Smart for Your Own Good," we delve into the introspective reflections of Solomon, a king endowed with unparalleled wisdom, who grapples with the profound realization of life's inherent futility. Solomon's piercing insights reveal the stark reality that human endeavors, no matter how grand, may ultimately be meaningless—mere chases after the wind. His contemplations on the human condition and the limitations of wisdom serve as a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of existential despair. Engage with us as we dissect the delicate interplay between despair and hope, and examine how Solomon's profound reflections juxtapose with the enduring optimism of divine perspective. This episode promises to challenge your philosophical understanding and inspire deeper contemplation of one of the Bible's most existential texts.

As of 2023, it's estimated that nearly 1 million people in the United States struggle with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). And globally? That figure rises to more than 2.8 million.

Let's face it. I was more than scared to take the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), I was terrified. Fear, crippled me with doubt, anxiety and insecurity, placing me in a God-allowed crisis. Was I going to give up? Or let God manifest His glory in ways yet unseen by me allowing Him to become more real to me? It wasn't a straight or easy road. There were to be many sacrifices, a season of isolation, and several deep dives into the insecurities of my past and present. These are all the many factors that would lend to my success.
