We communicate with each other and not for each other by inviting special guests from all walks of life to share their knowledge. Professionals are encouraged to respond to this episode with their networking strategies by commenting on our social media pages @mrnathanpowell on all major platforms, including Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.When building a network, it's important to quantify what you've gained from investing your time, energy, and money into making new connections. You'll need to do a self-evaluation and ask yourself some tough questions.Have your efforts been fruitful? Does your network support you in a way that contributes to your success? Are your new links just dead-end leads, or are they evolving into genuine long-term relationships? Is your networking strategy getting you noticeably closer to your ultimate goal?No one person has all the answers, but many solutions to our problems exist through the knowledge shared by other experienced professionals and mentors. Noticing the red flags and discerning what qualifies as quality advice can be difficult at first. Many false prophets in the business world promote the idea of easy step-by-step systems that are guaranteed to produce incredible results within a short period.If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. There are still people who believe in the idea of faking it until you make it. Some influencers promote lavish lifestyles that are not a true reflection of their reality. What you see on social media is a lot of smoke and mirrors. Actions speak louder than words, and results speak even louder.Even if a system works for one person, don't assume it's a sure bet that will work in your favour. Other factors like personal skillsets, money invested, location, product knowledge, and communication skills can impact how well a borrowed strategy will work for you. Entrepreneurs need to also take into account negative environmental factors like low consumer demand and market oversaturation.Business strategies should only act as a guideline or reference. It's best to test every process or system and make the necessary adjustments based on your results. See the outcomes for yourself before choosing to invest in restructuring or scaling an existing operation. Some markets move quicker than others. Strategies that won't scale, adapt or evolve run the risk of becoming outdated.Professional networking is a great learning experience that gives you on-the-go practice answering tough questions about your business. It allows you to perfect the art of selling yourself to strangers in real-time. Strangers can be unpredictable. People who aren't under any influence or obligation to say what they want to hear are more likely to give an honest opinion.Sound judgement or professional analysis when it comes to the quality of your collected data is still required. Ask the right questions to identify a need and create new opportunities. You'll need excellent listening skills while probing. Probing is necessary to put the feedback you've gained into proper context. It's the easiest way to determine the root of a problem.There are many helpful etiquette tips for sensitive business environments online.

Our Message:

In this podcast episode, we address the unique issues that impact youth through the lens of an eleven-year-old black girl from Toronto, Canada. We communicate with each other and not for each other by inviting special guests from all walks of life to share their perspectives. Youth and parents are encouraged to share their thoughts on this episode by commenting on our social media pages @mrnathanpowell on all major platforms, including Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Adults work hard to fulfill their obligations and build stable homes. Splitting time between spouse, children, family, friends and employer keeps parents busy. Even scheduling personal time can be challenging. If work-life balance is not a priority, the people who matter will suffer the most. Personal relationships are just as meaningful as our professional relationships.

Being an excellent provider isn't only about bringing large amounts of money to your household. It's also necessary to spend quality time, provide moral support, and guide the next generation of youth into adulthood. It would be unwise and selfish to ignore the needs of the people we care for in our pursuit of happiness. Parents have one shot at raising their children right. When children grow into adults, it's too late to undo parenting mistakes and harmful childhood trauma.

Father's Day recently passed, and it is evident that some of the same qualities required to be a successful father or parent are also necessary to succeed in business. Qualities like leadership, displaying great character, being an active listener, having accountability and keeping promises are all great qualities and characteristics to possess.

The Internet has given children unlimited access to information, and the laws for protecting them are disappointing. It takes a village to raise a child. Leaving the education of our children solely to outside influences like our schools, the Internet and caretakers is very dangerous. We must work together as a community to educate and put strategies in place to protect our youth.

Assuming adults are the only ones who can suggest solutions while devaluing the contributions of our youth is not the right direction. To develop practical solutions, we must listen to the input and feedback from the same group we intend on helping. The opinions of our youth matter, and as adults, we need to provide a safe platform for them to express their unique positions.

This segment provides a safe platform for sharing black perspectives, talking about the black family and addressing other issues in the black community. We communicate with each other and not for each other by inviting special guests from all walks of life to share their perspectives. In addition, we encourage other members of the black community to share their experiences by leaving a comment on our social media pages @mrnathanpowell on all major platforms, including Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

To have a successful partnership as an entrepreneur, we first require great partnerships with those closest to us. These are the people who live in our homes and that we interact with daily in our community. This episode addresses some of the unique challenges we face with our counterparts. There are many different types of relationships, but in this episode, we specifically highlight the relationship between black men and women, addressing how men can better support women in their lives.

The first step to finding a solution requires us to listen, acknowledge and openly discuss our perspectives in a healthy environment. Regardless of our difference in opinions, we should always support deeper conversation and encourage healthy communication.

Anti-black content that further perpetuates stereotypes of the black community and promotes toxic lifestyles is a source of profit for major social media platforms and corporations. Platform policies make it impossible to mention a wrong fact about COVID-19, but possible for non-blacks to openly use the n-word as long as they use an "a" instead of "er." Racism makes it easy to exploit blacks and use false narratives as an incentive to implement harmful anti-black policies in the real world.

When mainstream media criminalizes black men, oversexualizes black women, or paints our community as dangerous and angry, the result is little empathy from other communities when witnessing the violation of our human rights. In addition, the breakdown in communication between black men and women prevents us from being on-code and having a united front when defending our community from harm.

With all the barriers we face, it can be challenging to take the time to invest in self-healing. Despite the traumatic conditions that many of us face, mental health has not been a priority. A lack of black-focused resources forces us to depend on other communities that don't share our experiences. Despite directly benefiting from our contributions, many communities aim to belittle, mock, and ignore our everyday reality living in a world of white supremacy. People who say they "don't see colour" or believe that "racism doesn't exist."

Communication between black men and women allows us to support each other in ways outside communities cannot. There is no denying our experience because they are shared. Furthermore, the solutions provided work in our best interest when they come from people belonging to our community with knowledge and expertise.

It is a black man's priority to ensure black women feel respected and appreciated for their contributions. Black men also need to provide an environment where black women have the power to ...
