    Black Speakers Network EP18: How to Turn Your Brilliance into a Business (with Kat Dunn)

    Learning never stops. People of all races have a desire to develop, sharpen or upgrade their mental intelligence. It is for this reason that online courses and book publication has remained a multi-million-dollar industry. People are yearning for new knowledge each day. Having the right skills and mindset, you can tap into this opportunity as a business by building instructional courses. But just where can you start? Join me as I engage with Kat Dunn, “The CourseBuilder”, who has built a million-dollar business by creating online courses for over six years.

    Kat Dunn founded her full-service agency in 2015 with the goal of “helping 1 million people teach 1 million”. Kat assembled a team of industry-leading course building professionals, and we’re well on our way to reaching that goal. We’ve launched almost 17,000 courses since 2015, in 5 countries, on three continents. Kat’s team has a thorough understanding of business, marketing,
    and how a properly designed course can be a valuable, revenue-generating tool. Last year, we helped our clients to earn over $12.6 million in additional income through courses. She has been featured on ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC.

    During this episode, we will discuss what creating online courses is all about, how you can use it to create a passive income, and the benefits of creating and marketing your courses via an agency rather than starting from scratch.

    In this episode, you will learn about:

    Black Speakers Network EP16: Legal Strategies for Legacy Driven Trailblazers (with Toni Moore)

    Every human being has an inner craving and deep desire to be significant and of value to the human race. That is why most of us chase our dreams, create content, and establish business empires that will serve as a legacy for many years when they are dead. However, an entire legacy that you toiled for years can be wiped within days by the government through taxes and lawsuits. This, therefore, demands necessary legal preparations and strategies to protect your legacy for a longer time. It is for this reason that I am joined by a professional attorney; Toni Moore.

    Toni Moore, Esquire, The Wealth Building Lawyer, is one of eight girls who dreamt of living her own version of 'happily ever after.' Throughout her traumatized childhood, and tumultuous teenage years, Toni pushed herself to play a bigger game in life, later on taking the leap of faith to go from the projects to attend the University of Pennsylvania and later law school. Since graduating from Temple University Law School, Toni has been sharing her brilliance in courtrooms, boardrooms, classrooms, and in wealth empowerment workshops geared to helping first-generation business owners build wealth through entrepreneurship.

    During this episode, we will discuss about the relationship between business and law, the importance of having a financial legacy plan, and wealth protection strategies, to help CEOS and entrepreneurs build and protect wealth through entrepreneurship.

    In this episode, you will learn about:
    My journey to the law world -Toni MooreRelationship between business and lawTypes of clients that I love working withCommon gaps that clients have when they seek legal assistanceWhy you need to have a financial legacy planImportance of understanding and protecting your intellectual propertyShould you trademark your name as a speaker?How to get in contact with Toni Moore

    Black Speakers Network EP13: How To Go From Introvert To Influential (with Jacqueline Shaulis)

    Black Speakers Network EP13: How To Go From Introvert To Influential (with Jacqueline Shaulis)

    Have you ever wondered whether or not you are an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert? 



     



    Many people find themselves identifying with three of the prevalent personality types, introvert, extrovert, and those who are ambiverts. In today's episode, founder Brian Olds interviews Jacqueline Shaulis, a published author, professional speaker, and founder of Awesome Enterprises. Jacqueline shares insight into her relation to others and her experiences as an introvert as she takes us through her 30+ year career as a professional speaker. She informs listeners of the common stereotypes between the personalities. Jacqueline states that to decipher between the classifications, we must identify how we process stimulation. 



    Podcast overview: 






    Jacqueline challenges listeners to question whether or not they feel energized or depleted when accompanied by large groups. She explains introversion as reserved when processing information or being mentally stimulated. Jacqueline explains introverts as deep thinkers, as they possess a curiosity about the greater depths in life. She explains that extroverts have a more gregarious personality. Jacqueline later discusses the hindrance of being an introvert in the longevity of her career and her turning point when she finalized her decision to become who Jacqueline knew she could be. Her story is inspirational and encourages speakers who possess a message to break out of their comfort zones. Jacqueline addresses the racial stereotypes surrounding introverted black women and further supports those willing to show up for themselves and the world.
