How can we use technology to build generational wealth?William A Adams is the Founder of WAAV Studios LLC. As the Technical Advisor to the CTO at Microsoft, he considered himself to have had a strange job. Instead of working full-time on technical initiatives, he worked mostly on people's problems. A number of years ago, he went through a personal transformation that gave him new clarity and intention. As a Black leader, he is on a mission not just to find technical talent of color but to grow them. Pursuing that purpose inside and outside of the company has led me to co-found Microsoft’s LEAP apprentice program designed to help Blacks, women, and other underrepresented communities get technical jobs. (They have graduated 26 cohorts around the world now, and 98% of graduates get jobs in high tech.). He also decided that Microsoft needed to grow talent in primarily Blacks areas like Kenya, Nigeria, and the U.S. Virgin Islands and make it happen.As a philanthropist, Williams has personally donated $200,000 to the U.S. Virgin Islands to kickstart technology initiatives. He found and funded The EV3NT, which is a collaborative, community-based hackathon that will use technology to solve critical real-world problems. His believes in not striving for a seat at the table, but to own the table in order to own the wealth. He coined the term #tequity, meaning building prosperity for Blacks through an equity stake in technology. He believes an ownership stake in technology is the fastest, surest way to create generational wealth for any underserved group. William's company WAAV Studio LLC is a tech company, founded by the brilliant patent inventor in order to bring technology of the future to the present. WAAV Studio will find tech talent and provide them with seed financing in order to develop new companies and technologies. Its ultimate plan is to create and grow companies owned by minorities, people of color, and women.Enter #tequity - the goal of empowering Blacks and underrepresented groups to build wealth and agency by owning a stake in technology development. Williams believes that this is part of democratizing generational wealth for communities who have been systematically excluded from means of sustained financial empowerment. On this episode, William explains how ownership is a necessary step towards creating generational wealth for Black Americans. Listen to this episode as he discusses:- how to participate in Microsoft's apprenticeship program- how the apprenticeship program is transforming lives- how to invest in tech for long-term wealth- why licensing is better than selling- how kids can start early in tech- his philanthropy through funding tech initiatives- how companies who implement DE&I are more profitable- how business and society can collaborate and make an impact- how to pass on more than money to future generations...and so much more!Connect with William:Website: https://www.william-a-adams.comAdditional Resources:"How To Become A Software Engineer" with Bobby DorlusKindly subscribe to our podcast for notifications on future episodes.Leave a rating and a review on iTunes and Spotify:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-generational-wealth-using-tech-w-william-a-adams/id1614151066?i=1000621957472Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5M7pdcQCUKn9fcLQ5XZ6UUYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c502PynIqe4

Do you suffer from people pleasing?Meet Stefanie Gerke!Stefanie Gerke, Ph.D., a German native, is a former Art History Professor and used to run an agency for art and architecture tours. She turned into coaching after she herself enlisted the help of a coach. She had suffered from burnout after saying "Yes" to everything and everyone, all in the quest to appear "nice". When she reached boiling point and was cured of this addiction, she decided to help others who suffer from it.Maybe you can relate. Maybe you're also one of those people who are so aware of the needs of others that you find it hard to say no to them?

Until she hit rock bottom in 2017 and realized she could not go on like that anymore. She was burnt out, unhappy and frustrated. She then enlisted the help of a coach.

He helps entrepreneurs make money by using the power of storytelling.As a kid, Jude remembers his dad loved watching shows like NYPD Blue and Nash Bridges. Years later, Jude realized that these shows taught him about the craft of storytelling. He learned how to search for clues, how to be relentless in solving the puzzle, how to look beneath the surface. They also taught him how powerful the right kind of evidence can be. Nowadays he uses these lessons to help you grow your personal brand.In 2006, while Jude was in high school, a teacher recognized his talent and encouraged him to launch a video production company.

None of that deterred him on his determination to succeed in creating a visual storytelling business and help entrepreneurs share their stories in order to scale their businesses. Jude has been in business now for 15 years. He digs deep to find the compelling story that no one else knows and then leverage storytelling to strategically scale their business. He has been blessed to produce stories for Google, Coldwell Banker, and Steve Harvey (just to name a few).

Do you have the power to heal your life and create your dream life?Dr. Vic Manzo is a Business Success Coach, Host of The Mindful Experiment Podcast, 3X Author and Chiropractor. He teaches business owners how to end burnout, work less, make more without the grind/hustle and sacrifice. Dr. Vic busts the myth that you need to grind and hustle while sacrificing your time with loved ones in order to be successful. Hard work = more success. If this was true, the majority of business owners would be massively successful, working less and enjoying more time with their family, traveling around the world and much more.Forbes.com stated that 60% of leaders are burned out. Burnout doesn't just affect your bottom line but it affects your health, relationships, mental health, spiritual well-being, emotional well-being, and basically, every fabric of life. Dr. Vic experienced this feeling in the first 5 years of his career. He would hit burnout every 4-6 months and it started to demoralize him because he couldn't understand how he could be so passionate and love everything he did in business to still experience burnout.Through his own 12-year journey through business and 15 years of studying quantum physics, universal laws, neuroscience, neurolinguistic programming, limiting beliefs, subconscious mind, behavioral neurology, and much more, Dr. Vic has come up with a basic formula to help business owners learn the process of how to create Quantum Success in their life through the Billionaire's Success Formula. This Formula is a proprietary framework and curriculum derived from my own research and experiences. What he teaches his clients is a new way of thinking that aligns with quantum physics. It is like upgrading the software on your computer. In his book, Decoding the Matrix Dr. Vic explores the forces around you that conspire to hold you back from achieving your dreams, becoming successful, and finding happiness.Listen as Dr Vic shares:- easy breathing techniques that you can practice at home- the different nervous systems and how to regulate them- the benefits of understanding quantum physics and making it work for you- understanding the main cause of burnout- understanding the power of the mind- how the mind dictates your level of success- how to create Effortless Success- how to create the life your desire without the 'hard work = success' formulaConnect with Dr Vic:Website: https://www.empoweryourreality.com (access FREE resources)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EmpowerYourReality/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmanzo/Listen to Speaking and Communications Podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0nPxZKeCGcXIBGpZ2tbfZJApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-heal-yourself-w-dr-victor-manzo/id1614151066?i=1000570696089Buzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1870713/11004636Feel free to reach out on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/roberta.ndlelaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachandspeaker/Email: [email protected] Resources:"A Walk In The Dark" by Dr. Victor Manzo"Decoding the Matrix" by Dr. Victor Manzo

How do you find common ground in hostage situations?Do you have the tools to negotiate into a win-win outcome? How do you reach common ground when you come from polar opposite sides of an issue?Terry Tucker is a sought after speaker, former SWAT Team hostage negotiator who believes in the power of a story to motivate, inspire, and help others lead their uncommon and extraordinary lives.

You can succumb to the debilitating distress and misery, or you can learn to embrace it and use it to make you a stronger and more resilient human being. He chose the latter.In his book, "Sustainable Excellence", Terry answers the three basic questions that will lead you to your best life.
