Deborah, with her 30 years of being an ultrapraneur and creating over 7 companies, knows exactly what it means to ACCEPT THE MISSION !! The #Mission Accepted Podcast is an incredible show that interviews and showcases Ultrapreneurs, Entrepreneurs, Creatives and people in Media. When you make that decision, when you accept the mission to become a solopreneur, to take your self and your talents to market, then you embrace a life of not only unlimited possibilities but also the unknown.
It’s an elixir of fear and bravery that only someone who’s taken this leap of faith really understands. On our show, Deb digs deep with her guests and we highlight what YOU the listener wants to know, the stories, the whys and the hows to navigate the journey to the heights of success. Get ready to hear from some of the most incredible Mission Takers from Generation Z to Boomers. So sit up, perk up and get ready to take notes! We invite you to feel like you're sitting on the couch with us in our own private conversation about life, hilarious stories, and self propelled success where nothing gets held back between friends. Our show is all about having a good time, having you have fun, hopefully you’ll have a laugh or two, and leave the show being inspired and motivated.
We are so unique in our show in that we dedicate one week strictly to this incredibly innovative Gen Z generation. It’s an amazing show that lends to the realization that, whatever age you decide to take on your mission, we all have to make that decision and the lessons in solopreneurship no matter what they look like may seem different but in essence they truly are not. It takes guts, stamina, creativity, and a deep desire to create long term success, no matter what generation you are! A big thanks and heart felt appreciation for joining us today, and here is your Host, Deborah Drummond!

EP 252: Imposter Syndrome with UN Leadership Mentor Cathy Holt
Did you know …? Men will apply for a job if they feel they know 40-50% of requirements, Women will wait until they know 90%, and they feel more pressure to show up. Education does not necessarily make a great leader/employee, but ALL experience teaches us how to be better. Women need to know that they have what it takes. The calling inside can override the circumstances and make a way. Be a continuous learner, communicate effectively, and structure your message as a win-win. Create alliances and a strong sense of community. Volunteer! A paid position has limitations (not in my job description) but being a leader in a volunteer position is exceptionally valuable, both for yourself and your community. Learn strong communication skills, value & respect humanity, be appreciative & generous in and out of corporate structure. Trust yourself and know that you have what it takes to lead, follow, be supportive … whatever your choice, or whatever necessary action is required from you.

values/passions. This is foundational, and will be discovered upon self reflection, calming your
mind, and awakening to your inner leader. See a need that resonates/connects. Who can help

EP 250: UN Leadership Mentor Cathy Holt shares Why Women Make Great Leaders
The belief that to be a leader, whether male or female, you must be born with innate traits is not true. If you are passionate and see a need for Change, you can be the Agent to make it happen. We all have leadership qualities and can also learn to be more effective. Women often are empathetic, collaborative, strong communicators, wear different hats, and consider different points of view. They are adaptable, resilient and tend to be more humble, authentic, and not as ego driven. These qualities all support the role of servant leader – someone who prioritizes the needs and well-being of those they are leading. Scientific research has also shown that women use both hemispheres of their brain when problem solving as compared to the single hemispheric activity evident with focused, linear, rational, problem-solving men. Take the time for self-reflection. Ask yourself what you are passionate about, or good at, and then speak to your truth and have your voice heard.

EP 249: Film Director Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe shares about Being a Woman on Set
Biracial model, actress, and self-proclaimed fear chaser, Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe knows how to step out before the camera, and present in the industry of film. However, as the artistic, intelligent daughter of an English Professor, she knew she had more to say! Enter, Directing. Storytelling from behind the camera opened a whole new world of nuance, inspiration, the view from a female perspective, and the continued movement towards equality. How bad do you want it? You’re going to have to fight more than others. Death of ego is necessary to accept who you are or want to be, whether anyone acknowledges you or not. Don’t give up on yourself. Pull back and reset. Keep going. Shift Gears and do what it takes! It won’t matter who says ‘no’ now.
