Sanyika “the Firestarter” Street helps men build profitable service-based businesses. He’s also a keynote speaker and the host of Going All-In, A Podcast for Men. While he was trying to find his voice, Sanyika decided to stop speaking and start listening, and that’s when everything changed. The most powerful thing he began to hear was what was going on beneath the surface, especially the narratives and stories men tell themselves. Many people were trying to build successful businesses on the surface level, but under the surface, there was a great deal of what Sanyika refers to as the three “Uns”: feeling unlovable, unworthy, and misunderstood. Sanyika and I talk about standing firmly in the role God calls them into and what men can do to stop sending that call to voicemail. Because of the culture we live in, many of us would rather be informed than transformed. We discuss how our childhood experiences impact us, and Sanyika shares his own stories about navigating core wounds. Our conversation also includes how women can get closer to the men in their lives through vulnerability, parenting your parents, being a chain breaker, and how we can grow through discomfort. What’s Inside: Why men need to stop sending God’s call to voicemail. How to navigate core wounds and transmute the energy. How to grow through discomfort.

In this follow up conversation with author and empowerment strategist JJ Flizanes, we continue our dialogue around living out our purpose and owning our power. JJ and I start by discussing a quote from author Marianne Williamson that she included in her book. The quote speaks to our deepest fears of being powerful beyond measure. Playing small puts ourselves and others at a disadvantage because when we shine, we give permission for others to do so as well. Being who you are is exactly who you need to be, and JJ touches on how this authenticity is essential for leadership. Sometimes trauma impacts a person’s ability to live out their purpose. JJ and I discuss her perspectives on grieving, victim mentality, and lessons learned through life experiences.

Zach Hoffman is an award-winning author, transformation coach, and founder of an organization called SWALeadership. My conversation with Zach dives into servant leadership and how his life experiences lead him to make that a focus. As an American football player in Europe, Zach was looked up to by many, especially youth. He realized that sports were his platform to reach people, not his purpose. Zach believes that if you want to earn the respect of others and have them feel you as a person, you have to make it about them, not you. We also talk about emotional intelligence and why it’s a key component of leadership. Being genuine and vulnerable goes a long way in terms of inspiring others and being a good mentor. When Zach set out to write his book, he originally intended for his organization name to stand for Swiss Army Leadership, however he changed his mind while going through the publishing process. Due to copywriting issues, he was looking for another name that would fit both his core message and his journey as a former athlete. He then came up with Sensible Worldwide Adaptable Leadership. Zach learned that effective leadership requires you to embrace globalization and intercultural competence. Being able to adjust like a Swiss Army knife to your environment and an ever-changing world is critical for modern day leaders. What’s Inside: The importance of servant leadership and what it means. Why street smarts and book smarts go hand in hand in effective leadership. Why it’s important to get into the trenches with your clients as a coach. How to deal with ageism in coaching and business. The difference between real and fraudulent leadership.

In Part One of this conversation with Joy Donnell, we went deep. Joy’s perspective truly helps people think beyond the surface level, which continues here in Part Two. In her book, “Beyond Brand”, Joy discusses changing narratives with the use of media. Here, she shares the moments that led to her getting to into media. Joy is dedicated to doing things differently while honoring her lineage. Questioning the origins of stories is a big theme within Joy’s book. After hitting a physical wall of burnout from overworking, Joy was forced to take a time out and question her own journey and purpose. She realized then that she wanted to live a creative life and tap into it as part of her self-care and healing. When we begin with the end in mind, we can tap into what’s underneath so many of the stories and narratives we’re fed. If you’re a storyteller, it’s your job to uncover what’s beneath the surface. Self-compassion is the key when honoring your needs to rest and take care of yourself. Early in her career, Joy didn’t have the self-compassion she has today and didn’t honor her body and its needs. She shares her routines and how she makes sure it’s a number one priority. What’s Inside: How Joy decided to use media to make an impact. Joy’s wake up call to honoring her purpose and creativity. How Joy balances self-care and rest with hustling and working Mentioned In This Episode: Listen Then Speak Podcast Do It In Public Hey, SUPERJOY Beyond Brand Book CIME.US Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Joy Donnell is a producer, writer, and co-founder of CIME, the Center for Intersectional Media and Entertainment. CIME provides research and resources for storytelling, equity, and Hollywood. Her recent book, “Beyond Brand”, dives into how to use media to live and leave our cultural legacy. Joy has spoken heavily on Hollywood production codes, an era which lasted about 30 years where Hollywood chose to inflict morality standards. These codes essentially taught human beings how to be and included things like suppressed sexuality and not showing race mixing. It was bewildering for Joy to discover, and we discussed how it affected her. When Joy wrote her book, she wanted to talk about embodiment and disembodiment. At speaking engagements, people would always ask her how to build a brand while remaining authentic. Many people think their brand needs to mimic their authenticity, but it’s really the other way around. Focusing on your cultural legacy brings people back into their bodies, which is the only way you’re able to be human. Joy shares a transformational story from her childhood when she first discovered the dark history of racism in this country and the body she was born into. She felt a range of emotions, but also felt what she calls a divine spark of defiance that helped shape her career and worldview. Joy has a lot more to share, so don’t forget to check out Part 2 of this episode. What’s Inside: Hollywood's production codes and how they shaped an era of global entertainment. Why focusing on your legacy helps you embrace your authenticity. How Joy surrenders to the body and honors the power of rest.
