Podcasts about we talk about

Leadership can be lonely, but it was never meant to be carried alone. In this episode, we sit down with Julia's sisters in business and life: Oglah Gatamah, Koren Bowman, Kymber Lovett-Menkiti, and Gabby Davis, a powerhouse circle of Black women leaders within Keller Williams.Together, we talk about what real collaboration looks like when it goes deeper than networking. This is about safe spaces, honest conversations, strategy, accountability, and having people who understand the exact pressure we carry as women, leaders, mothers, owners, and builders.We explore why scarcity keeps women competing, how abundance helps us say each other's names in the right rooms, and why the right circle should sharpen us, not drain us. From business growth to legacy, representation, faith, and vulnerability, this conversation is a reminder that community is not optional for sustainable success.The challenge is simple: find your circle, protect it, and be that person for someone else.We Talk About: [00:00] Meet the Sisterhood Behind the Success[04:24] Find Your Safe Space[07:54] Your Circle Creates Opportunities[09:35] Why Admiration is So Important[19:01] The Problem With The Scarcity Mindset[20:37] How to Build Your Circle[38:46] Build the Room You've Been Looking ForResources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyRead Breathless by Oglah GatamahConnect with Oglah GatamahConnect with Gabby Davis on InstagramConnect with Kymber Lovett-MenkitiConnect with Koren Bowman and KU Real Estate GroupConnect with Our HostsJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Potential does not mean much if we never activate it. In this episode, we sit down for a candid conversation about the five reasons people often fall short of what they are capable of becoming.We talk about the trap of waiting to feel ready, why over-preparing can become a form of procrastination, and how confidence is built by doing the thing before we feel fully qualified. We also explore why our environment matters, how the conversations around us shape our thinking, and why getting into bigger rooms can expand what we believe is possible.From there, we unpack the difference between motivation and discipline, why consistency can feel boring before it becomes powerful, and why the middle often feels like failure. We also talk about criticism, visibility, imposter syndrome, and the cost of caring too much about other people's opinions.At the core of this conversation is a simple reminder: talent matters, but consistency and commitment are what carry us forward.We Talk About: [00:00] Why Potential Has to Be Activated[03:04] Reason 1: Waiting to Feel Ready[09:22] Reason 2: Staying Around People Who Keep You Small[15:56] Reason 3: Confusing Motivation With Discipline[23:05] Reason 4: Being Too Concerned With Other People's Opinions[33:36] Reason 5: Never Fully Committing[39:43] Consistency Beats Talent Every TimeResources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyListen to the previous episode on discipline with Daniel Dixon and Julia LashayBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, veterinary epidemiologist, public health scientist, and co-founder of Fatty15 (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY), shares the latest science on C15:0, an odd-chain saturated fatty acid she describes as the first essential fatty acid to emerge in over 90 years. This conversation explores why C15 may be foundational for cellular resilience, metabolic health, liver health, brain development, and long-term vitality. Stephanie explains how low C15:0 levels may contribute to fragile cells, accelerated aging, and modern health issues, and why this nutrient matters not just for adults, but for pregnancy, breastfeeding, babies, and children. We also talk about food sources like full-fat dairy, cheese, butter, goat and sheep products, why grass-fed matters, how to test your C15:0 levels, and why supplement quality is becoming more important than ever.

Most people think they need more money, but what if the real issue is discipline? In this episode, we sit down for a direct conversation about spending habits, emotional decisions, social media pressure, and why higher income does not automatically create financial stability.We talk about the difference between looking successful and actually building wealth, why delayed gratification matters, and how to stop letting every dollar disappear the moment it hits the account. Daniel breaks down a practical four-step framework for building discipline: identify the goal, create an “if, then” reward system, put in the reps, and reflect honestly.We also get into burn rate, automatic transfers, investment planning, net worth tracking, and the power of moving from an income mindset to a wealth mindset. If we want a different financial future, we have to be honest about what we are doing today.We Talk About:[00:00] Are You Being Honest About Your Discipline?[09:11] How Do We Move From Earning Money to Building Wealth?[12:22] What Discipline Actually Looks Like in Real Life[16:13] Accountability Is the Missing Piece[23:10] How Can We Build Wealth Instead of Living Paycheck to Paycheck?[28:42] Do You Know What It Actually Costs to Live?[33:09] What Do You Owe Your Future Self?Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyRead The Compound Effect by Darren HardyRead The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin HardyUse the Ramsey Solutions Investment CalculatorBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Leadership is often celebrated for its rewards, influence, and visibility, but we rarely talk about what it actually costs. In this episode, we unpack the hidden weight of leadership: hard decisions, being misunderstood, carrying responsibility for other people's livelihoods, and showing up when the pressure is heavy.Bo, Emerick, and Julia reflect on a message from Kirby Smart about the cost of leadership and connect it to real estate, entrepreneurship, brokerage ownership, public perception, and personal resilience. We talk honestly about financial pressure, mental health, burnout, ego, control, and the danger of chasing the appearance of success instead of building something real.At the heart of this conversation is a bigger question: is leadership worth the cost? When it is rooted in purpose, growth, and meaningful impact, the answer can still be yes. Leadership is expensive, but when done with intention, it can leave a legacy far beyond the title.We Talk About: [00:00] The Real Cost of Leadership[06:39] The Pressure Leaders Carry Behind Closed Doors[10:48] What People Don't See About Leadership[18:12] Taking Care of Yourself While Carrying Everyone Else[28:03] Is the Cost of Leadership Actually Worth It?[36:15] What New Leaders Need to Understand Before Stepping UpResources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyWatch Kirby Smart on the cost of leadershipBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

In this episode, we sit down with Oglah Gatamah, author of Breathless, for a deeply personal conversation about burnout, purpose, leadership, and what it really means to live a significant life. We explore how easy it is to chase titles, money, metrics, and recognition while quietly losing ourselves in the process.Oglha shares her journey from Kenya to the United States, her rise through corporate leadership, and the moment she realized that outward success had left her inwardly exhausted. We talk about the difference between what we do and the impact we have, how to uncover purpose through reflection and relationships, and why high achievers must be careful not to build the wrong life.We also discuss how purpose can shape families, businesses, and communities, plus the global impact of Oglah's foundation work in Kenya.We Talk About: [00:00] From Kenya to Corporate Leadership[05:10] When Success Leaves You Empty[17:23] A Powerful Exercise for Finding Your Purpose[21:55] How Do You Build a Business Around Impact?[27:29] Turning Personal Loss Into a Foundation for ChangeResources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyRead Breathless by Oglah GatamahFollow Oglah Gatamah on Instagram: @gatamah_oglahBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

I'm finally sharing my full peptide journey: how it started after weaning Callahan, why MOTS-c was my first, and the exact stack I'm using right now for energy, skin, and longevity.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why peptides aren't supplements, why cycling matters, and how your protocol should shift across every season of womanhood. I'm also opening up about postpartum anxiety, the tools I've built inside The LongHer Life (including the HerStack Planner and motherhood room), and giving you a first look at the high-potency peptide serum I'm formulating for women's skin.

In this episode, we unpack a tough question that hits both business and life: does loyalty still matter? We explore how a culture built on convenience, quick wins, and transactional thinking has changed the way people show up in partnerships, teams, and leadership - and how that impacts all aspects of business relationships.We talk about why loyalty is not automatic, why it has to be earned through performance, and why so many business relationships break down before trust has time to form. We also dig into the realities of leading in real estate, where low barriers to entry and independent contractor mindsets can make long-term commitment harder to build.Along the way, we share real examples of investing in people during hard seasons, only to wonder whether loyalty still exists on the other side. Our biggest takeaway: loyalty is built through clear expectations, consistent presence, emotional connection, and making people's lives easier in ways that truly matter.We Talk About:[00:00] Loyalty Is Disappearing in Plain Sight[03:57] Loyalty and Performance Go Hand in Hand[06:00] Business Is Turning More Transactional by the Day[07:34] The Right People Change Everything[10:48] The Grass Looks Greener Until You Leave[17:09] Make Their Life Easier and They Stay Longer[23:18] Loyalty Is Built Long Before the Closing Table[32:26] When the Money Runs Out, Loyalty Gets TestedResources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyListen to “When Your Life Was Low” by Joe Sample & Lalah HathawayBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

In this episode, we unpack the true cost of doing it alone. We talk honestly about how independence is often celebrated in our community, especially among Black women, while partnership is sometimes overlooked as a wealth-building strategy. Using examples from dating, business, and real estate, we explore why building alone can create limits, even when it looks successful from the outside.We discuss the difference between finding someone who can do for us and finding someone we can build with. We also get into the role of vulnerability, complementary strengths, money mindset, and shared vision in both personal and professional partnerships. At the center of the conversation is a simple but challenging question: is our commitment to individual success actually helping us, or is it keeping us from greater freedom?We Talk About:[00:00] Independence Is Not the Flex We Think It Is[02:05] Love, Money, and the Danger of Building Nothing Together[05:30] The Real Financial Cost of Doing Life Alone[10:04] Looking for The Right Person[17:28] You Can't Pick the Right Partner If You Don't Know Yourself[22:42] Building Together Requires More Gaps Than Most People Want[27:51] The Right Partner Can Multiply More Than Your MoneyResources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyLearn more from John Hope BryantBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

In this episode, we dig into what it really means to stay valuable in an AI-driven world. We explore why AI may automate average, repetitive work, but it still cannot replace trust, emotional intelligence, judgment, and the ability to read the room. We talk through how professionals, especially in real estate, must evolve from lead chasers into relationship strategists, from property finders into lifestyle curators, and from data sources into data interpreters.We also unpack why asking better questions matters more than ever, both with clients and with AI itself. As more information becomes available to everyone, our edge is no longer access to data. Our edge is how we guide people through emotion, uncertainty, and decision-making with clarity and confidence.At the center of it all is one core truth: the more AI grows, the more valuable great human communication becomes.We Talk About: [00:00] How AI Is Changing the Realtor's Role[03:34] Why Powerful Questions Matter More Than Ever[07:50] Why Agents Must Become Lifestyle Curators[11:35] How to Become a Data Interpreter, Not Just a Data Source[17:32] Building Trust and Relationships [22:09] Why the Best Agents Will Be Advisors, Not Transaction Coordinators[27:25] How AI Will Change Personal Branding and Marketing?[30:54] Make Yourself Irreplaceable Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Homeownership is one of the most powerful ways to build wealth, yet many people still feel locked out. In this episode, we bring the conversation back to the fundamentals and break down what it really takes to get into your first property.We unpack the biggest misconceptions—like needing 20% down—and explore how down payment assistance programs are helping buyers get in with far less. We also dive into why income matters more than credit, and how entrepreneurs can strategically position themselves to qualify without sacrificing long-term tax benefits.From house hacking with multi-family properties to creative financing options like seller financing and subject-to-deals, we walk through practical pathways that make ownership more accessible than most people think.At the core, this conversation is about mindset. We don't need the perfect house or perfect timing—we just need to start. Because the real goal isn't the dream home today, it's building the foundation for long-term wealth.We Talk About:[00:00] Why Is Homeownership the Foundation of Wealth[02:57] Tactic 1: Down Payment Assistance[04:05] Tactic 2: Housing Counseling Resources[10:15] Tactic 3: Strategic Tax Planning[12:27] Tactic 4: Flexible Tax Return Programs[20:27] Tactic 5: House Hacking with Multi-Family[32:24] Tactic 6: Seller Financing[33:45] Tactic 7: Creative Financing OptionsResources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyThe Color of Real Estate by Julia LashayBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Building a business is one thing. Building a life that actually means something is another.In this episode, we pause to reflect on a powerful set of questions from Gary Keller that challenge us to think deeper about what we're really building and why. We share what each of us is working toward right now—from scaling brokerages and reimagining real estate team models to building investment opportunities and expanding access to capital for the next generation of developers.Along the way, we talk about leadership, the realities of running a brokerage, and the hard truth that you can't want success for someone more than they want it for themselves. We explore the shift from chasing production to creating wealth, from doing everything ourselves to building systems and environments where others can succeed.Most importantly, we wrestle with the bigger questions: Who are we becoming?

How to Respond to Threats and Aggressive Emails During Divorce: 2 Acronyms That Can Save Your SanityDivorce can make even the calmest person feel like they are about to unravel.One inflammatory text. One manipulative email. One last-minute demand from your soon-to-be ex.And suddenly your nervous system is on fire.In this episode of How Not to Suck at Divorce, Morgan Stogsdill and Andrea Rappaport share two simple acronyms designed to help you stop spiraling, regulate your nervous system, and decide whether a response is actually necessary.If you are dealing with high-conflict divorce communication, threatening messages, co-parenting drama, or an ex who knows exactly how to push your buttons, this episode will give you practical tools you can use immediately.Because when your ex is trying to bait you, your best move is not to react — it's to get strategic.In This Episode, We Talk About:how to respond to threatening emails during divorcewhat to do when your ex sends an inflammatory texthow to stop emotional spiraling during divorcewhy your nervous system reacts so strongly to conflictthe best way to pause before responding to your exhow to tell if a message actually requires a responsewhen to call your divorce attorney and when not tohow to communicate strategically in a high-conflict divorcewhy not every “urgent” message is truly urgenthow co-parenting apps like Our Family Wizard can reduce stressWhy Divorce Communication Feels So TriggeringWhen you're going through a divorce, communication with your ex is rarely neutral.Even a simple message can feel loaded. A text about travel, money, or the kids can instantly send your brain into panic mode — especially if the wording feels aggressive, manipulative, or threatening.Andrea explains that this is often a nervous system response. Your body reacts as though you are under attack, even if the threat is emotional rather than physical.That is why so many people:fire off emotional responsesregret what they wrote laterfeel hijacked by anxietyspend hours spiraling over one messageThis episode teaches listeners how to interrupt that pattern before it hurts their peace — or their case.Acronym #1: STOPThe first tool Morgan and Andrea teach is STOP, a simple framework designed to help listeners stop the immediate emotional unraveling.S — StopLiterally stop.Do not react. Do not respond. Do not keep ruminating.Say the word out loud if you have to:Stop.T — TemperatureChange your temperature to help regulate your nervous system.Andrea explains that cold temperature can help bring your system back online.Examples include:holding iceputting ice on your wristsdrinking ice-cold waterusing an ice roller on your faceO — OxygenBreathe.When people are triggered, they often hold their breath, tense up, and make the spiral worse.The key is to exhale first, then let yourself breathe back in.P — PriorityYour priority is your mental wellbeing, not firing back at your ex.Most messages do not require an immediate response.This is where listeners are reminded to give themselves at least an hour before doing anything.Why You Should Never Respond in the Same Emotional StateMorgan explains that when people respond too quickly, it is often obvious to attorneys, judges, and anyone reading the email that they got baited.That matters.Fast, emotional responses can:escalate conflictmake you look reactivestrengthen the other person's sense of controlpotentially hurt your caseWhen someone knows they can trigger you instantly, they are more likely to keep doing it.That's why creating time between the message and the response is such an important strategy in divorce communication.Acronym #2: THREATThe second acronym in the episode helps listeners figure out whether a response is warranted at all — and if so, how to respond strategically.T — TimingAsk yourself:Does this message actually need a response?If it does, do I need to respond today?The answer is often no.H — Highlight the parts that actually matterPull out the parts of the message that involve:your childrenmedical decisionsschedulingextracurricularsactual legal issuesIgnore the inflammatory filler.R — Redline the BSMorgan and Andrea encourage listeners to mentally cross out the emotional garbage.Most threatening divorce emails are full of:baitingexaggerationpersonal attacksirrelevant accusationsAndrea says it best:Most threatening emails are 80% emotional dribble-drabble garbage and only 20% actual legal issues.E — Emotionless evaluation of the factsLook at the message again without emotion and ask:Is there any actual merit here?Is anything true?Is there something that genuinely needs attention?A — Ask your attorneyIf the issue has merit or is really weighing on you, this is where your attorney comes in.Morgan reminds listeners that sometimes spending money on your lawyer is worth it for peace of mind and strategy.T — Take the strategic routeOnce you've gone through the steps above, you can decide whether:you should respondwhen you should respondhow you should respondThat is strategy. Not reactivity.High-Conflict Divorce Communication: Why Strategy MattersThis episode is especially helpful for people dealing with high-conflict divorce, difficult co-parenting communication, or an ex who weaponizes timing and urgency.Morgan gives an example of a co-parent suddenly demanding an answer about international travel for the kids and insisting that tickets need to be booked immediately.That kind of message can trigger panic fast.But the point of the THREAT framework is to help listeners separate:true urgencyparenting agreement languagelegal issuesmanipulative pressureSo they can...

Resilience in business is not just about pushing through hard seasons. It's about knowing when to stay the course and when to change direction.In this episode, we record live from Keller Williams Family Reunion in Atlanta and dive into the real question many entrepreneurs face: when does persistence become stubbornness, and when is it time to pivot? We explore how passion, purpose, and clear metrics help guide those decisions.We talk about the role of KPIs in business strategy, why leading indicators matter more than lagging ones, and how tracking the right numbers can help us pivot faster when something isn't working. We also discuss the difference between making adjustments and making a full pivot, and how sometimes the right move is simply returning to the work that energizes us most.We also highlight the importance of community. The right mentors, advisors, and relationships often provide the clarity and perspective we can't see on our own.At the end of the day, resilience isn't about grinding endlessly. It's about directing our energy toward the work that truly moves us forward.We Talk About:[00:00] Live From Family Reunion in Atlanta[01:28] Purpose, Passion and Pivoting[06:17] When to Stick It Out vs Change Direction[14:32] Embracing Failure and Learning From It[20:42] The Importance of Relationships and Community[28:12] What Advice Helps Someone Decide Whether to Pivot or Stay the Course?Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyKeller Williams Family Reunion Become a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Building wealth isn't just about buying buildings—it's about expanding our mindset, upgrading our circle, and playing the long game.In this episode, we sit down with real estate investor Rafik Moore, who built a $300M+ portfolio after immigrating to the U.S. with nothing. Rafik shares how mentorship unlocked his first million-dollar deal, why value-add investing is a formula anyone can learn, and how limiting beliefs—not lack of opportunity—hold most people back.We explore the difference between being broke and being poor, the psychology behind wealth creation, and why kindness and integrity compound faster than short-term wins. Rafik breaks down how he structures deals so his team participates in the upside, and why he created the Value Add Network to help others scale into commercial real estate.At the core of this conversation: proximity matters, mindset matters, and asking matters. If we dare to think bigger—and take action—we can build wealth while building others.We Talk About: [00:00] The Secret to Wealth Is Kindness[02:02] From Financial Survival to Purpose-Driven Wealth[07:35] What the Value Add Network Actually Teaches[11:52] Rewriting Limiting Beliefs Around Money[14:50] Why Self-Worth Drives Financial Success[17:37] Building Trust Through Integrity and Long-Term Thinking[21:37] Why You Miss Opportunities You're Not Ready For[23:32] The Million-Dollar Lesson That Changed Everything[30:59] Plugging Into an Institutional Investment Machine[38:38] Ask Relentlessly and Expand Your ProximityResources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow Rafik Moore on Instagram: @rafikmoore Learn more at Value Add NetworkBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

In this episode, Erica shares the story of how bringing a new puppy home became a lesson in rebuilding self-trust, quieting decision fatigue, and learning how to recognize the right decision without forcing it. What starts as a puppy story turns into a deeper conversation about inner guidance, emotional clarity, and the difference between chasing an answer versus calmly knowing what's true.You'll Learn: Self-trust is rebuilt by listening to your own signals. Erica walks through what it looked like to stop overriding herself and start paying attention to what felt calm, clear, and aligned.Decision fatigue is a sign to pause, not push harder. When a choice starts to feel muddy, frantic, or overcomplicated, that can be the cue to step back and go general again.The right decision often feels calm, not chaotic. Erica describes how the path toward Maize felt easy, safe, and flowing once she stopped forcing outcomes that didn't fit.Inner guidance becomes clearer when your nervous system is regulated. You can't hear your truth clearly when everything feels urgent. Regulation creates the space to discern what's fear and what's real.You have to line yourself up with the decisions you need to make. Clarity doesn't always come from thinking harder. Sometimes it comes from creating the internal alignment to recognize what is actually right for you.We Talk About: 00:05 — Meet Maize01:43 — When Decision Fatigue Hits04:05 — Knowing There Was No Capacity06:24 — Getting Clear on What Matters08:16 — The Holding Pattern Ends10:42 — Wrong Turns and Red Flags13:05 — When the Signs Got Loud15:17 — The Secret, the Deposit, the Momentum17:37 — Why Trusting Yourself Feels So Hard20:03 — The Difference Between Forcing and Knowing22:30 — Manifesting Through Your Guidance System24:54 — Rebuilding With Focus and TrustLinks Mentioned in the ShowThe New You Blueprint - Coming March 25th!Divorce doesn't just end a relationship.

Debt gets a bad reputation - but what if the issue isn't debt itself, but how we use it?In this episode, we challenge the idea that all debt is dangerous. We unpack the difference between consumer debt that drains wealth and strategic debt that accelerates it. From high-interest credit cards and lifestyle inflation to house hacking, investment properties, and business acquisitions, we explore how leverage can either trap us or propel us forward.We also discuss how credit scores really work, why wealthy people don't avoid debt (they avoid dumb debt), and how to position ourselves to access better financing terms. For communities that have historically inherited debt habits instead of wealth strategies, this mindset shift is critical.Debt is neutral. It's the strategy behind it that determines the outcome. The question isn't whether to use debt - it's how.We Talk About:[00:00] Intro[01:17] Why Most People Experience Debt as an Anchor[02:38] Lifestyle Debt vs. Wealth-Building Debt[05:49] When Debt Becomes Survival Instead of Strategy[09:23] The Hidden Cost of High-Interest Debt[11:23]  Why Access to Credit Matters More Than Using It[14:02] The Formula for Good Debt: Cash Flow Over Cost[17:25] Why House Hacking Can Accelerate Wealth[28:36] How Optionality Gives You Leverage With Lenders[36:24] Debt Is Neutral — Strategy Determines the OutcomeResources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyLearn more from Dave Ramsey: https://www.ramseysolutions.comListen to previous episodes of The Color of Money featuring Mark KingListen to previous episode of The Color of Money featuring Will RoundtreeBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Keegan Downer (Founder of mindfulMEDS) shares how he went from alcohol addiction and a near-suicidal breaking point, to recovery and to building one of Canada's most recognized microdosing education brands, and why psilocybin doesn't have to be "woo."  We also get super practical: What microdosing actually feels like day-to-day, why it can hit women differently (especially moms), how psilocybin compares to SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) when it comes to emotional processing, and why "wine o'clock" culture is quietly keeping so many women stuck in a stress-and-numb cycle.

Running a business doesn't stop when life gets heavy. In this episode, we talk openly about what it really means to lead with care and concern when everything feels unstable—emotionally, socially, and economically.Julia Lashay shares real-time insight from Minneapolis, where fear, uncertainty, and disruption reshaped how agents showed up for their families, clients, and communities. We unpack how survival mode impacts decision-making, why integrity shows up most clearly during hardship, and how leadership is tested when there's no clear playbook.We also explore the importance of communication, the power of community, and why silence from leaders speaks louder than words. From financial reserves to mission-driven leadership, this conversation reminds us that care isn't a slogan—it's a habit. When chaos hits, who we are becomes impossible to hide.We Talk About: [00:00] Introduction[02:33] How Do You Balance Running a Business When Your People Are in Survival Mode?[04:44] Is Care a Slogan—or a Habit Rooted in Integrity?[06:27] Why Does Community and “Your Tribe” Matter More During Crisis?[08:11] What Do You Say When You Want to Help but Don't Have Answers?[11:35]  Are Phone Calls Still the Gold Standard for Showing You Care?[18:53]  Are Financial Reserves the Real Difference Between Panic and Stability?[20:12] What Does It Mean to Lead With Care and Concern in Uncertain Times?[23:05] How Should Leaders Speak Up When There's an Elephant in the Room?[31:02] Can Care Be Taught—or Must It Be Lived?Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Modern longevity culture can make "the perfect protocol" feel like the answer—especially when you're a busy mom who wants more energy now and a longer healthspan. Dan Pardi from Qualia (code: BRITTANY) breaks down what's changed in longevity science over the last 25 years—and why "healthspan" (feeling strong, clear, and capable for longer) matters more than simply living longer.  We get into the real trade-offs of fasting, protein, and vitality, plus a clear explanation of what stem cells actually do, why they decline with age, and how "stem cell wellness" differs from clinic-based stem cell therapy.

Modern women are doing the most—tracking, supplementing, optimizing—yet still feel tired, inflamed, and strangely off. And sometimes the issue isn't another protocol. It's the life you're living. Queen Oluwatobiloba explores women's holistic wellness through a lens we don't talk about enough: alignment. We unpack how your environment can mirror your internal season, why "being stuck" drains your vitality, and how discomfort is often the clearest sign you're choosing something true.

Modern success can humble your nervous system fast. Especially when your life looks "perfect" on paper, but your body feels flat, restless, or quietly done. Silvia Resnik unpacks the hidden ache so many high-achieving women carry: doing everything "right" and still feeling unfulfilled.

Motherhood can humble your nervous system fast, especially when sleep is unpredictable and everyone has an opinion. Lindsey Simcik (Almost 30) opens up about what it looks like to trust your instincts as a mom, even when you're tired, unsure, or doing things differently than the moms around you.

#191 - Home for the Holidays with Dr. Gina Kupchella: The Best Of Functional Medicine, Legacy, and What Actually Heals This episode is a little different — softer, deeper, and honestly one of my favorites. I'm sitting down fireside-style with my dear friend Dr. Gina Kupchella, the physician I passed the baton to at Integrative Wellness Center. It's the day before Christmas, the coffee is hot, and the conversation goes far beyond protocols and lab markers. We talk about how functional medicine really works when it's done well, why so many people are frustrated by cookie-cutter care (even in the functional medicine world), and what happens when you finally slow down enough to treat the whole human — not just the diagnosis. This is a conversation about legacy, trust, root-cause healing, and why doing medicine differently isn't trendy — it's necessary. We cover gut health, inflammation, anti-aging, hormones, longevity, wearables, sleep, and the quiet magic that happens when a practitioner has time to actually listen. If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of appointments, protocols, and next steps that never quite lead to real change — or if you're curious what functional medicine looks like when it's practiced with integrity, evidence, and heart — this one will land. In This Episode, We Talk About: 00:02 — How Gina and I first met (and why the timing still gives us chills) 00:07 — What surprised Gina most about stepping into a functional medicine practice 00:12 — The biggest myths about functional medicine — and why they persist 00:18 — Foundational labs vs. advanced testing: where to actually start 00:25 — Gut health, inflammation, and why diet is the most underrated anti-aging tool 00:33 — Longevity buzzwords vs. what truly works (peptides, hormones, and the basics) 00:40 — Bioidentical hormones, women's health, and reclaiming quality of life midlife 00:46 — Sleep, wearables, and why your body needs deeper rest than you think 00:52 — Legacy, calling, and why this has to be the future of medicine Why This Conversation Matters This isn't about doing more. It's about doing what actually helps. Functional medicine isn't anti-conventional — it's completing the picture. It's asking better questions, spending real time, and understanding that healing isn't linear, fast, or one-size-fits-all. And maybe most importantly, it's a reminder that medicine practiced with curiosity, humility, and joy doesn't just change outcomes — it changes lives.

Lauren Berlingeri, co-CEO and co-founder of HigherDOSE (code: BRITTANY15), opens up about the hidden cost of doing "everything right" – running a fast-growing wellness brand, raising twins, optimizing fertility – and still ending up pre-diabetic and deeply burnt out. We explore what happens when you stop chasing perfect biohacking metrics and build intuitive longevity rooted in nature, nervous system care, and the season of womanhood you are in, from postpartum vaginal rejuvenation tech to trading Botox for facial acupuncture and massage.  This episode matters for women's long-term vitality because Lauren shows, in real time, how choosing environment, community, and self-compassion over hustle lets your health strategy evolve with your hormones, body, and life.

What if your "tight shoulders," stubborn belly, or tech neck are not random… but compressed fascia quietly starving your cells of oxygen and storing old trauma?

AI isn't just writing your emails anymore—it's reading your hormones and mapping your risk.

We also get real about supplements, bad actors in wellness, and what actually matters if you want to stay strong and functional at 80+.
