This episode is a special preview from my upcoming book, Rewrite Your Rules, dropping April 1st. I'm reading a raw, honest excerpt from Chapter Nine: “Be the Rough Draft: A Better Relationship With Fear.” In it, I share what it really looked like behind the scenes during one of the most pivotal—and fear-inducing—moments of my career: acquiring Travel Noire. We're talking investor calls, operational landmines, war rooms, and leading through uncertainty while keeping the bigger vision alive. This isn't just a story about business—this is about choosing courage over comfort, strategy over panic, and innovation over fear. Thank you to everyone who's already pre-ordered. You're not just supporting me—you're helping signal to the marketplace that this is a book that matters. And if you haven't yet, head to wherever you buy books—Amazon, Barnes & Noble, your local indie—and get your copy in. This episode is for the entrepreneurs, the career pivoters, the side-hustlers, and the everyday leaders navigating uncertainty. Remember: success favors those who rewrite the rules.

I'm not a financial advisor; nothing I write in Superpowers for Good should be considered investment advice. You should seek appropriate counsel before making investment decisions.Remember, you can watch the Superpowers for Good show on e360tv. To watch the episode, download the #e360tv channel app to your streaming device–Roku, AppleTV or AmazonFireTV–or your mobile device. You can even watch it on the web.Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Kenyatta: My superpower is my grit and my persistence.Chef Kenyatta Ashford is so talented he won the Food Network's Chopped. He's primarily been working as a caterer for the past seven years, but his success is leading him to pursue his vision for a restaurant that serves food from his roots, combining African and Creole flavors.When I look at investment crowdfunding, I focus on three flavors of impact: local or community-based businesses, social entrepreneurs and diverse founders. I love opportunities to consider investments in one business that represents all three. I think of these as impact trifectas.Obviously, a local restaurant is the epitome of a community-oriented investment. As an African American, he is also a diverse founder. Kenyatta explained his social mission:I want to be able to lift as I climb. It's really important to me to do that for anybody, but in particular underserved communities. One of those is local high school culinary arts programs that I try to support through my four-courses initiative, where we have celebrity chefs of color come to Chattanooga.We put on a four-course meal for people to dine with us and to also just talk about different subject matter and bring awareness to culinary arts and also allow the young people from those programs to come and rub elbows and participate in the event so they can see the options and opportunities that might present themselves that they may not have thought about.With that social mission, he brings the third part of that impact trifecta.Kenyatta shared his request for support for his Wefunder campaign:Restaurants are expensive, and capital is very hard to raise. Any business venture is expensive to begin, because you're starting from nothing most times. We have a goal of raising $450,000 as capital to help us open our own brick-and-mortar restaurant. trying to be wise and looking for places to open our brick-and-mortar, but also want to bring attention to what we're doing with our campaign and make people aware that our business is worthy of the investment that we're asking you to put into it.We're more than just a restaurant. We want to be a really integral part of the community and not just reap the benefit of doing business with the community but also to pour back into the community.Pouring back into the community is the thesis for local investing. Having Kenyatta open a restaurant that keeps profits in the community rather than having a national chain open one where profits are pulled out of the local economy is a big difference.In his past successes, Kenyatta has demonstrated his superpower: grit.AI Episode Summary* Chef Kenyatta Ashford is launching his first brick-and-mortar restaurant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, called Neutral Ground.* The restaurant concept was born during the pandemic as Chef Kenyatta was furloughed from his previous job and used the opportunity to pursue his dream of owning his own restaurant.* The restaurant is influenced by Chef Kenyatta's upbringing in New Orleans and his African and Creole culture.* Neutral Ground recently collaborated with a local family-run farm called Sequatchie Cove to host a dinner event showcasing their high-quality products, like grass-fed ribeye and lamb meat lollipops.* Chef Kenyatta's vision for the restaurant goes beyond just serving food and aims to become an integral part of the community, supporting local culinary arts programs and offering opportunities for underserved youth.* Neutral Ground is currently raising $450,000 through a crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder to open their own brick-and-mortar restaurant.* This investment represents a trifecta opportunity for impact investors as it supports a local business, social mission, and a diverse founder.* Chef Kenyatta's superpower is his grit and persistence, which has helped him overcome challenges and reach his current level of success.* He advises others to live in the present, stay focused, and take one step at a time to strengthen their mental resilience.* To learn more about Neutral Ground and Chef Kenyatta Ashford, visit their Instagram and Facebook pages, and consider investing in their Wefunder campaign to support their vision and mission.How to Develop Grit As a SuperpowerKenyatta says, “My dad told me a long time ago that, ‘You know, son, you got to learn how to curve with life.' I believe I've taken that to heart”He credits his wife and kids with supporting him and enabling his grit. As he's made the transition from being a full-time teacher to a chef, his family has had his back. That includes the stretches when he was working as a line cook for just $9 per hour. With their help and support, he muscled through the most challenging times to build a thriving business.He says the key to building grit is to live in the present. That helps you build your mental strength. Focusing on the past or the future tends to create anxiety that can be self-defeating. “Put one foot in front of the other to continue the path because it will get better,” he says.By following Kenyatta's example and advice, you can strengthen your grit. With practice, you can make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Guest ProfileKenyatta Ashford (he/him):Chef/Owner, Neutral Ground ChattanoogaAbout Neutral Ground Chattanooga: Neutral Ground ChattanoogaWebsite: www.neutralgroundchatt.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/neutralgroundchattOther URL: wefunder.com/neutralgroundBiographical Information: Raised in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans as one of seven siblings, Kenyatta Ashford found his love for food at a young age over lingering family meals hosted by his mother, Sharon, and Uncle Walter. Never one to follow a typical path, Ashford became a high school teacher after playing basketball at Lee University. After building a robust teaching and coaching career, Kenyatta's summer sessions spent helping in a catering kitchen awoke his childhood passion for the tastes of home. Lead by the memories and the tastes of his childhood. With a constant commitment to excellence, Ashford happily accepted his admission into the Culinary Institute of America, where he built technical expertise and interests in the foodways of his ancestry. After continued study in top-tier culinary institutions in New York, Rhode Island, and Louisiana, he went on to study scaled preparation techniques in the hospitality industry through the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Like much of the hospitality industry, Kenyatta's role was furloughed early during the pandemic, leaving him with a sound set of skills and a family to help feed. Within weeks, he created the concept for Neutral Ground and set up a shop in Chattanooga's Proof Incubator. The name Neutral Ground is an homage to the strip of land between neighborhoods in New Orleans that originates as the trade and gathering area across identities. Ashford carries this spirit into creating common spaces where people can come together across backgrounds and beliefs. The menu at Neutral Ground is a product of Ashford's “afro-creole” identity and vision, where he's constantly reflecting on and reimagining cuisine that reaches back to his ancestors who were enslaved in West Africa and brought to the Americas and journeys through the rich and often over-simplified culinary traditions of his hometown New Orleans. Dishes on the menu range from bean and rice dishes with African influences to interpretations of working-class staples from New Orleans, like po'boys and yakamein, which reflect his understanding of Afro-Creole cuisine.Kenyatta recently won Food Network's Chopped, and he and Neutral Ground have been featured in Conde Nast, Eater, Travel Noire, the New York Times, and more.

For those of you who've been rocking with (A)Broad in Education for a while, you vividly remember Episode 43, A Romance Scam from Abroad. It was such a pivotal life experience that I shared the story publicly, even in an article with Travel Noire. Part of that experience was connecting with other women about their relationships abroad and I mentioned before that the previous episodes were recorded in 2021. Well, it's been three years post-scam, and two years post-recording, so I decided to reach out to Nichole @thesoulfulexpat for a semi-quick check in to discuss how things have changed about relationships abroad, how they've remained the same, and even evolved. Her idea about showing up for ourselves and learning to become our own relationship gurus is golden and you'll definitely appreciate it listening about it in this conversation.  Connect with Nicole on Instagram: @thesoulfulexpatWant to continue this conversation? Subscribe to the (A)Broad in Education newsletter. SUPPORT US: Want to Contribute to (A)Broad in Education?1.

A reckoning that most media companies contend with, Blavity Inc has started the revenue diversification efforts of moving from a display advertising-first business model to include more reader revenue options, like commerce. To help with the transition, Melody Brown was hired as Blavity Inc's new associate vp of consumer media in Sept. 2022 from Travel + Leisure to help with the construction of this revenue stream, including launching a new home interior brand “Home & Texture.” But the push into commerce doesn't stop there. Brown said on the latest episode of the Digiday Podcast that the company's lifestyle brand 21Ninety and travel title Travel Noire were both also pivoting to a commerce-first business model to both bring in a new revenue stream, but also to give readers more assistance from the content they're already reading. “We're shifting from display first advertising, because we've seen that the effectiveness of that form has really dropped. Readers and audiences are focused more on the content that they desire. The focus here is commerce-first, not display ad-first,” said Brown.

Adventurer and author Zim Flores went from living on a shoestring budget to building multiple successful niche businesses. In her conversation with Ashley, Zim confesses that even as children, she and her brother were like “little grown adult kids.” She kept cultivating an independent spirit as she explored many career paths. From the university biology lab where she cloned a gene, to her experience living full-time in India, Zim discovered a talent for diving into adventure which evolved through travel and entrepreneurship. The savvy business mind launched a boutique travel agency, Travel Noire, cultivated from her observation that “people who look like me are often the ones that are traveled to, but we're not the travelers.” She has since stepped away from Travel Noire to expand her business ventures elsewhere, and learned that becoming financially free meant “being able to own your time.” Now Zim shares her experiences to advise others on creating generational wealth for themselves and their families.

Niqua of @travelingwithniqua is a travel blogger originally from the Virgin Islands. Her travel platform is focused on helping individuals travel more, by sharing budget travel tips, travel tricks and strategies! She has been featured on Travel Noire and has traveled to over 20 countries and 27 states and is currently on a journey to travel to all 50 states. In this episode, Niqua and I discuss how to visit the Virgin Islands on points, the best airline routes, points hotels, excursions, and more! I had the chance to visit the British Virgin Islands myself during a press trip with Bilt last year, and the islands are absolutely incredible! In case you haven't heard of Bilt, I'm a senior advisor for them and their product makes it easy to earn points on rent without having to pay any fees. They can wire your landlord an ACH payment or mail a physical check, and the points you earn can be transferred to partners like American Airlines, United, Hyatt, and more! Also, while having the Bilt card can help you earn points much faster, you can also earn a lot of free points by completing different challenges in the Bilt app even if you don't have the card!

Travel Noire travel writer Rafael is this week's guest, he writes for a travel site that focuses on the experiences of Black travelers who travel the world. Travel Noire founder Zim Ugochukwu, created the site in 2013. Travel Noire has become a go-to resource for Black travelers seeking honest and relatable travel content. In addition to featuring travel stories and destination guides, Travel Noire offers a travel directory and travel deals. Its mission is to inspire people of color to travel more and to see the world as a source of opportunity.I read an article Rafael wrote in Travel Noire, about almost being deported from Argentina. The article was very interesting and I wanted to speak with him about the way he had moved abroad, wherein he lived like a local, which made his experience more enjoyable. Travel Noire travel writer Rafael has moved back to America to be near family and plan his future with his fiancée, specifically he moved to Atlanta, a city that has plenty of food options and good people. The city has a balance of city life and suburban life, making it the perfect place to settle down. With its many cultural attractions and its diverse population, Atlanta is a city that has something for everyone. And although it's wonderful that Rafael is happy to be there, for a while, in America he felt like he was existing, working in corporate America, instead of living and he had an overwhelming desire to travel. So Rafael decided to move abroad for a short while and travel. He and his fiancée planned for months, they had both dreamed of seeing the world and knew they didn't want to do it under the confines of a traditional 9-5. So they took the leap, handed in their resignations, and set off on the adventure of a lifetime. They've seen more of the world than they imagined and are excited to continue seeing it together in years to come. February 2019 marked a turning point in their life, they decided to take a leap of faith and travel to Bangkok, Thailand. It was a decision that would change everything. In Bangkok, they started their lives over, exploring new careers and lifestyles. Rafael became a travel writer contributing to Travel Noire, documenting their experiences for the Travel Noire site. His partner became a teacher, helping Thai students learn English. They embraced Bangkok and found a new sense of freedom. They were no longer constrained by the expectations of society; instead, They were able to forge our path. And that is what moving abroad is all about. It is about breaking down barriers and embracing the unknown. The countries Rafael visited in his 3 years while living abroad were : Thailand, Italy, Indonesia, Sicily, Greece, Portugal, and Argentina.

Its mission is to inspire people of color to travel more and to see the world as a source of opportunity.I read an article Rafael wrote in Travel Noire, about almost being deported from Argentina. The article was very interesting and I wanted to speak with him about the way he had moved abroad, wherein he lived like a local, which made his experience more enjoyable. Travel Noire travel writer Rafael has moved back to America to be near family and plan his future with his fiancée, specifically he moved to Atlanta, a city that has plenty of food options and good people. The city has a balance of city life and suburban life, making it the perfect place to settle down. With its many cultural attractions and its diverse population, Atlanta is a city that has something for everyone. And although it's wonderful that Rafael is happy to be there, for a while, in America he felt like he was existing, working in corporate America, instead of living and he had an overwhelming desire to travel. So Rafael decided to move abroad for a short while and travel. He and his fiancée planned for months, they had both dreamed of seeing the world and knew they didn't want to do it under the confines of a traditional 9-5. So they took the leap, handed in their resignations, and set off on the adventure of a lifetime. They've seen more of the world than they imagined and are excited to continue seeing it together in years to come. February 2019 marked a turning point in their life, they decided to take a leap of faith and travel to Bangkok, Thailand. It was a decision that would change everything. In Bangkok, they started their lives over, exploring new careers and lifestyles. Rafael became a travel writer contributing to Travel Noire, documenting their experiences for the Travel Noire site. His partner became a teacher, helping Thai students learn English. They embraced Bangkok and found a new sense of freedom. They were no longer constrained by the expectations of society; instead, They were able to forge our path. And that is what moving abroad is all about. It is about breaking down barriers and embracing the unknown.  The countries Rafael visited in his 3 years while living abroad were : Thailand, Italy, Indonesia, Sicily, Greece, Portugal, and Argentina.

The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the racial wealth gap. Merriam-Webster defines a Griot as a West African historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet, or musician. The griot is a repository of oral tradition and is often seen as a leader due to their position as an advisor to royal personages. As a result of the former of these two functions, they are sometimes called a bard.As such, we tell the stories that others don't. Stories that we should share for growth, opportunity and understanding. Beyond that we talk about Finances. Specifically, how to become Financially literate, incorporating actionable steps and ultimately building generational wealth. So there you have it, The Financial Griot or TFG for short. You will be in for a treat. The hosts were able to amass over $2 Million in wealth in about 8 years and are on track to retire early. If you want the secrets; we will gladly share them since opportunity is abundant and Win-Win. Connect with TFG Crew: Alainta Alcin - Blogger, Travel and Money Enthusiast @its_alaintaLovely Merdelus - Entrepreneur and Small Business Growth Specialist @lovelymerdelusLawrence Delva-Gonzalez - Federal Auditor, Blogger and Tax Specialist @theneighborhoodfinanceguy
