KAYLEAVES - Learn. Do. Inspire Kaleigh Davis

In this episode of Learn. Do. Inspire we pick up right where we left off in discussing how important it is for individuals in our community to KNOW themselves when addressing their profession. My mom always told me that work should never feel like a job. However, it's unfortunate to see people going into careers -- not because it's what they love doing, but because it brackets a certain level of income. We address this issue by breaking down comfortability versus being content. 
Additionally, Primo shares with us important advice on how to confidently enter a room, what he stands for, and answers a few other questions relating to what kept Primo Grounded throughout the years, and what sets him apart from others in the game.

I’m doing a little series on pursuing our passions: with the focus aimed on encouraging my audience and listeners to keep pushing forward (especially in a manner that is authentic to each of us individually). I believe there’s something beautiful about seeing people challenge themselves and produce content that they entirely make. Our passions are often born through inspiration from a thought or an external source and it’s always great to see how far it can go based on the tenacity and dedication of an individual. I also think that doing what you enjoy doing amidst your day-to-day routine is what I would totally consider self-care because you're showing up in spaces that make you Content and are not just living a life of comfort.
My guest speaker today is someone I’ve known for a long time, And I’ve always admired the fact that he never allowed anyone to dim his light or make him feel insecure about his passions and interests. I can still remember when we were in Elementary school and the love Robert had towards KISS (a famous rock band)— and his love for wrestling (more specifically WWE). And throughout the years, it’s wonderful to see how his blueprint is reflecting what I’ve noticed he’s always gravitated towards in his journey. 

I'm excited to share this conversation with you! Just to re-instate, these words of encouragement are ones you don't easily get tired of hearing... in fact, I feel as though you can't hear these words too much!
On Part 1 of this two Part Episode, Robert shares with the audience how he came to love wrestling, and what sets him apart from others in the Game!

In this episode, I've invited a very special guest: J-Quan to the show to discuss how impactful Music can be annnnd I'm excited to debut the Intro that Quá engineered for me!!
Here we discuss how Music should be a reflection of us, and capture our perspectives and outlooks as we explore & evolve more. In that, J'Quan and I touch on how music is driven by emotion through artists who play and compose Instruments, and how the story is told from doing so. 
Bless those who create music and bring people of different backgrounds together. When you really think about it -- Music breaks barriers and is able to tell a tale through creativity and rhythm. There are also many genres that aid in the mood and mentalities of its' listeners... For example, romance invokes ideas and concepts centered around sensuality and love; jazz aids and invokes creativity and liberty. Rap shares the life experiences of its narrator and can inspire its' listeners to approach different challenges alternatively... All I'm trying to say is; Music is vast and encapsulates so much that I had to bring this topic to focus.
This was such a beautiful and DEEP conversation... and with Music being such a broad topic, I love that we could talk about many of the aspects that make up Music: Like the intentions and declarations in how our expressions are channeled. 
J'Quan aka Quá Ambitions is a long-time friend who's so musically inclined and has been dropping songs since 2021 -- make sure to check out his Album Growth Over Company, and his newly released song, Background Reminders, and when I reached out to see if he could engineer the background audio for my show, I knew he'd be the perfect person to bring on because he's inspired me in so many ways!  This episode is a gem. 
Quá Ambitions' top 3 Songs to Listen to: 
1. My Bad
"That's one that I love. That's one of my best mixes to date."
2. Sidewalk Sentiments
"I love that one."
3. Basejump
"Deepest one / hardest one to listen to sometimes - not because of quality but because of content."

Thank you for coming back to another episode of Learn. Do. Inspire... Join me today as we examine what makes up RESPECT and what challenges can be expected from battling it on a day to day. Lil gems to keep your outlook strong and evolve your unique character towards one who embraces key reflective ideals. A character that is disciplined and can allow us to heal and accept what needs to happen for one to contribute to an illuminated conscious.

In a world shadowed by misguidance; my guest Speaker Dennis and I discuss the outlooks and characteristics that one must have in order to create a better space in the world we inhabit. Of which we focus on JUSTICE...Terms like fairness, equity, and advocacy involve the development of behaviors and actions that reflect having consideration for others. These attributes also shape our understanding of the situations and circumstances we see around us too because it trains us to have expanded outlooks outside of what we may have always known or are familiar with.

Please tune in to hear us discuss what Justice means to us and what characteristics (mentally and spiritually) are needed in order to instill real change in our community, nation, and the globe.



Also, listen in as Dennis tells us about his involvement as a civil rights advocate. On April 4th, 1977 Dennis took part in a peaceful protest where he amongst 100 others occupied the San Francisco Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Office for a sit-in lasting 24 days to instill provisions for individuals with disabilities relating to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; section 504.

In today's episode we delve into a lot... and judging by how long this episode is, I know you're looking at me side-eye. But please trust me when I say it was an interesting, expansive, and much-needed discussion on ways in which we can combat the climate catastrophe.
