LET'S GET TO WORK.

  • Why I Changed Careers . People ask me all the time about my switch from corporate engineer to college business professor. On the outside, it may seem like a random move, but business has always been at the forefront of my mind. During all my engineering internships, I was way more interested in learning about corporate/product strategy, competitive dynamics and industry phenomena. In addition, since my childhood, I spent a great deal of time in my family’s various entrepreneurial efforts. Learning about business has always been a passion of mine.

  • Knowing When To Quit . This weekend I ran into two of my former business students, @cb_thegent and @thedapperwoman, founders of @lmv_clothing. They were selling their products at the @vanguardarts.us Art Show. I remember when they first talked about this idea in class and now here they are! One of the statements in their branding is “Watch Me Persevere.” It caught my attention and I had to support them with a purchase of a statement t-shirt. . Perseverance is something I’ve prided my self as having a lot of. I’ve made it through some “rough stuff” as they say, only because of perseverance. But what about the opposite of that? Specifically, quitting, or the perceived lack of perseverance. See bio link to read more in my latest newsletter. #motivationmonday
  • Extremely tough workout, but we had a lot of fun. #healthiswealth
  • MANAGING UNPRODUCTIVE GUILT . This image really captured my attention the other day. As a self-proclaimed “busy” person, I tend to be hyper-focused on getting things done. So much so that I used to feel guilty about my moments (hours, days, and sometimes even weeks) of non-productivity. But, I now realize that being unproductive is essential to my ability to be productive.

  • SHOOT YOUR SHOT!!! . Lately, I’ve been coming across quite a bit of content related to self-doubt and wasted potential. It has been resonating with me because I often go through periods where I doubt myself. I think we all do to some degree. I believe it is a part of being human. The trick is how to overcome that feeling when it arises. See bio link to read more on my experience with this in my latest newsletter. #MambaMentality

Let me introduce you to two women that I admire and respect, Charlane Oliver and Tequila Johnson, president and vice president of The Equity Alliance (TEA). Since 2017, I've had the distinct pleasure of supporting their efforts as a board member of TEA. During that time I've watched them labor to transform the landscape of voter engagement in Middle Tennessee.
