    Securing The Bag While Working Full Time, The Fantasy of Entrepreneurship, and Getting Paid To Speak

    Securing The Bag While Working Full Time, The Fantasy of Entrepreneurship, and Getting Paid To Speak

    Does job security still exist? Are the wonders of entrepreneurship just a fantasy?
    Evolve Benton is a speaking coach who got into the entrepreneurial game to teach others how to communicate what they know and profit from it.
    Their take on the challenges of entrepreneurship is rooted in real expectations vs the fantasy of overnight success stories So I asked Evolve to join me for a conversation about the complexities of being an entrepreneur who is also looking for a job, what it means to be financially free in 2024, how 9-5ers can make extra money while working full time, and more.

    Why Companies Can't Be Inclusive, the 8000 Ways to Be Black, and Can Anxiety Be Wisdom?

    Why Companies Can't Be Inclusive, the 8000 Ways to Be Black, and Can Anxiety Be Wisdom?

    How does capitalism impact our sense of belonging at work?
    Having grown up as a military brat and living everywhere from Germany to Atlanta, Georgia; our guest, Drisana McDaniel, developed a unique perspective on societal norms and expectations. This perspective led her to become a sociology graduate as well as a Sr. Researcher & Instructor at the Acosta Institute.
    Her views on the topic of "Working While Black" are greatly influenced by her experiences of not fitting into pre-determined societal expectations of blackness and identity. She joined me during a live show I did for LinkedIn’s Creator Program and we talked about everything the 8000 Ways To Be Black, learning to look at anxiety as wisdom, and the side effects of calling out your organization for being toxic.
