Maybe They Will Notice My Potential, An Interview with Ken Tomita

Thu, 24 Mar 2022 05:00:00 -0400

I think a great way to introduce Ken is to read a direct quote from Grovemade‘s website.

“The seeds were planted a decade ago by pure chance when I moved my custom furniture business into a humble workshop backing up to the railroad tracks. Across the street, in a run-down home, we called the “Fight Club House” lived enthusiastic entrepreneur Joe Mansfield. He was somehow running a very successful laser engraving and digital art business out of a spare bedroom. We soon became friends and would often throw a football around in the street—endlessly tossing creative ideas back and forth dreaming up the next big thing. One hot day in the summer of 2009, Grovemade was born.”

We are more than Lipstick

We are more than Lipstick, an interview with the "larger than life" Dorothy Rhau.

Social Entrepreneur and Stand Up Comedian.
Born in Montreal and of Haitian origin, Dorothy Rhau became known as the first black female French stand-up comedian in Quebec and Canada.
In December 2016, she assembled a team and created in 2018, Audace au Féminin (Feminine Boldness) a non-profit organization that presents annually the Salon International De La Femme Noire (International Black Women's Expo), a new social entrepreneurship project. Since the first edition in 2018, the fair has continued with the vision of making Montreal the mecca for black women around the world.

Recently, she joined the DanieleHenkel.tv team as a columnist where she works on articles focused of "The Power of Diversity". Thanks to her former life as a human resources manager, Dorothy surrounds herself with an exceptional team to build this constantly evolving event that aims to highlight the Black Women shining in the shadows. Once one hears Dorothy Rhau speak, they understand better why the theme of the Salon is: «n’aie pas peur, OSE!» ("Don't be scared, DARE!")

Do I Keep Going or Pivot?

Thu, 16 Sep 2021 16:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Marshall Fox shares his inspirational journey to becoming his own boss. Beginning in door-to-door sales, to designing a logo for free, to coaching freelancers in graphics design, Marshall shows us that with a strong drive and the right mindset, you can be successful in your career and as a person.

Marshall is a graphic designer, content creator and CEO of 120 Design Studio, LLC, a boutique design firm that specializes in helping authors, speakers, coaches and solopreneurs in two areas where they consistently tend to fall short: branding and online presence. His keen sense of design and attention to detail helps his clients increase brand awareness, credibility and sales.

In just over four years, Marshall has entered the graphic design space, helped over 600 clients and has built 120 Design Studio into a six-figure agency. Marshall helps his clients ensure the quality of their visual brand matches the quality of their services, products, and other offerings. He’s recently made a shift into coaching and training other black and brown freelance graphic designers who are looking to take their businesses from side hustle to a full-time gig, or as he likes to say, from Good to GOAT. He also recently started a YouTube channel where he shares productivity, mindset and business tips, tools and tech for freelance graphic designers. When Marshall isn't sipping coffee and obsessing over color palettes, he's spending time with his wife and four children.

Heights of great "companies" reached and kept...through Innovation

Fri, 02 Jul 2021 08:00:00 -0400

An interview with Kwesi Redwood: Kwesi quotes “The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night." And how he uses this quote or "teachable lesson" on why continuous innovation is critical to strategic planning. Kwesi shares why we should credit Encylopedia Briticanaica as the original storage of information and reminds us how Sears Canada was considered the original Google and innovative for its time. Further, he lists several teachable lessons on why continuous innovation is key for even the most accomplished companies to maintain future success.

Kwesi Redwood is a founding Principal at FIT Operations Consulting Inc. Over the course of his 18-year career both with fortune 100 companies and as a business owner, Kwesi helps organizations 10x their operating maturity, so that they can deliver sustainable innovations to customers, culture, and internal productivity. He is on a mission for organizations to have the confidence and capability to drive continuous growth.

An interview with Karim Blair, the owner and operator of AB Logistics. Former IT Director in the non-profit sector who discusses his transformational journey to becoming an entrepreneur and launching his own logistic company.

Karim quotes a phrase given to him by his mother "If you can help why not" a guiding principle that leads to his entrepreneurial transformational journey. Karim also shares an analogy on how this journey is similar to diving in a pool and then learning how to swim. He illustrates the difficulty of moving from the shallow end to the deep end, keeping your head above water in "choppy" conditions. And also, offers his key decision-making factors, managing price points and avoid racing to the bottom. Listen to hear about his goals, his drive and how he is still on that journey..." and that's ok...entrepreneur is a journey and your goals are always evolving..."

Fri, 02 Apr 2021 08:00:00 -0400

What does Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Kobe Bryant have in common?

Today we’re going to answer the question from one of our commentators.

In a previous podcast, we discussed how transformation needs to be led by a champion. Then the natural question is..."What is an example of a champion?" So we asked a few individuals, on what they see as common traits of a champion. As a result of the feedback, we came up with the 5 Cs or traits that are common in champions who are responsible to lead transformational change.

And stay to the end as we have a commenter Cassandra who offers her elegant definition of a Champion.

Lastly, sorry in advance for some of the sound quality we had a few gremlins that caused some network disruptions when we were recording.
