Election Day is fast approaching and so much is at stake for the nation. We must take a seat at the table whether it is running for office, casting our vote, supporting candidates, or being an advocate on issues that matter.

Joining me is Mike Bland, the National Director of Leaders of Color (LOC). LOC is a program that prepares black and brown leaders across the country for public office with extensive training and support. Its vision is of a nation where Black and Latino communities are represented by elected officials who not only look like them but are tireless advocates for quality education.

Mike shares his experiences growing up around politics, working on historic campaigns, running for city council in New Jersey at the age of 22, and drops gems on what’s going in these political streets.

To close out Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Carolyn Hardy joins me to share how she beat breast cancer, along with pearls of wisdom about life and business. As President/CEO of Chism Hardy Investments and Henderson Worldwide Investments, she is an author, serial entrepreneur and a woman of many firsts. 

She broke into the all-boys club at J.M. Smucker, moving up the ranks to become the first African-American woman plant manager and later was the first African-American female Vice President at Coors. She took it to the next level when she purchased Hardy Bottling, making her the first African-American woman to own a major brewery. In this episode, I find out what drives her, where her strength and courage comes from, and how she broke through in male-dominated industries.
