Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney Felita Cornog. An adoption attorney and foster care advocate. Felita Cornog shares her personal journey from a traumatic childhood—losing her mother to domestic violence and her father to incarceration—to becoming a passionate advocate for children in foster care. She discusses the differences between adoption and foster care, the emotional toll of her work, and how others can support children in the system even if they don’t become foster parents themselves. 🧭 Interview Outline 1. Introduction Felita shares that her passion for law began in her teens but she pursued it in her 30s after becoming a mother and homemaker. 2. Personal Backstory Felicia’s mother died from domestic violence; her father went to prison. She and her brother were raised by extended family, avoiding the foster system. This inspired her to help children who aren’t as fortunate. Quote: “I wanted to turn that story of pain into my passion.” 3. Understanding Foster Care vs. Adoption Foster Care: Temporary placement with the goal of reunification. Adoption: Permanent legal relationship. Children may be placed in foster homes or group homes. Quote: “The goal of foster care is always reunification first.” 4. Stereotypes and Realities Many children in foster care are not abused but neglected or orphaned. Misconceptions about emotional instability are common. Quote: “That’s one of the biggest myths—that all children in foster care have emotional problems.” 5. Emotional Impact of the Work Finalizing adoptions is joyful but bittersweet, especially when siblings are separated. Felita handles all types of adoptions except international. Quote: “Adoptions are one of the few times people leave a law office happy.” 6. Support for Foster Parents Foster parents receive stipends and Medicaid support. Services include mental health, respite care, and caseworker assistance. 7. How to Help Without Fostering Volunteer with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). Donate to private foster care agencies. Use platforms to raise awareness. 8. Adoption Process & Requirements Must be 21+ years old. Can be single or married. Must pass background checks, home evaluations, and physicals. Quote: “We’re not just going to give a child to anyone who raises their hand.” 9. National Adoption Month Celebrated in November, inspired by Dave Thomas (Wendy’s founder). Aims to raise awareness for children in foster care needing adoption. 10. Closing Felita shares her contact info: 📞 Phone: (404) 298-7373 🌐 Website: www.cornoglaw.com Quote: “Keep leading with your gifts.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Dr. Farah Laurent.  A former emergency room nurse turned entrepreneur and career coach, shares her journey from bedside care to building a six-figure business helping new nurses land high-paying jobs and launch their own ventures. The conversation explores nursing as a lucrative and flexible career path, the importance of mindset, and the power of personal branding. 🔑 Key Points 💼 Career Journey & Motivation Dr. Laurent was inspired by the TV show Trauma: Life in the E.R. to become an emergency nurse. She worked 13 years in ER nursing, including at a Level 1 trauma center in Detroit. Transitioned into education and leadership before launching her coaching business. 💰 Nursing as a High-Income Career New nurses in cities like NYC and Northern California can earn $100K–$175K starting salaries. National average is around $70K, but opportunities vary by region and specialization. Nurse anesthetists can earn $200K–$300K+. “New graduate nurses today… are making baseline at least $100,000, up to $175K.” 🧠 Mindset & Coaching Emphasizes abundance mindset over scarcity. Coaches nurses on resume writing, interview prep, and personal branding. Encourages nurses to invest in themselves through coaching and professional development. “If I can do it, you can do it too. It all starts with an idea and the mindset.” 📈 Entrepreneurship for Nurses Nurses are increasingly turning to consulting, coaching, and telehealth for flexibility. Dr. Laurent founded the Nurses Making Money Moves conference and authored a workbook by the same name. Organized her first conference in just 10 weeks, attracting 70 nurses from 20 states. “You’re using your intellectual property—what you already know—to monetize.” 🌍 Diversity & Representation Advocates for racial, gender, and linguistic diversity in nursing and leadership. Notes that patient outcomes improve when care providers reflect the communities they serve. “We need more diversity in nursing and nursing leadership to close the gaps in healthcare inequalities.” 💡 Advice for New Nurses Get clear on your goals and ideal work environment. Prepare thoroughly for interviews—don’t wing it. Build a strong LinkedIn presence—95% of recruiters check it. Negotiate: Know your worth, research salaries, and pitch your value. “Don’t just settle. Go after what you want.” 🚩 Red Flags in Job Offers Disorganized interview process Unwelcoming management High turnover Rushed job offers without clarity on responsibilities 📣 Closing Quote “Nurses are big problem solvers. Find the problem you want to solve and go for it.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Charelle Lans. A six-time award-winning author, motivational speaker, and business strategist known as the “business therapist.” Here's a detailed summary of the key insights and takeaways: 🎙️ Guest Overview: Charelle Lans Title: Business Strategist, Vision Strategist, and Founder of Vision Strategy Management (VSM) Background: Industrial engineering degree; former Fortune 500 employee (e.g., Johnson & Johnson) Mission: Helps individuals and businesses diagnose issues, define strategies, and drive performance. 💼 Core Concepts & Insights 🔍 What She Does Acts as a “business doctor” for small to mid-sized businesses. Helps clients uncover blind spots, streamline operations, and align personal purpose with business goals. 🧠 Key Philosophies “Profit is in the patterns, not in the panic”: Sustainable success comes from consistent systems, not reactive hustle. “You deserve to be paid, not just passionate”: Passion is important, but structured pricing and value delivery are essential for sustainability. “Rest is a revenue strategy”: Rest improves clarity, leadership, and long-term business health. 🛠️ Business Strategy Tips 1. Pricing & Value Research your market and understand the problem you solve. Avoid underpricing due to emotional ties or overpricing without value. Develop a pricing strategy that reflects your experience and the value you deliver. 2. Scaling Smartly Avoid “scaling chaos” — building a brand without infrastructure leads to burnout. Build systems, processes, and the right team before scaling. A platform (not just a brand) is sustainable and scalable. 3. Vision Execution A vision without a strategy and management is just a wish. Use metrics to track progress and ensure your vision is in motion. Surround yourself with: Mentor Sponsor Coach Network 🧩 Common Entrepreneurial Pitfalls Wearing “hustle” as a badge of honor can lead to burnout. Trying to do everything alone without a blueprint or support system. Fear of sharing ideas due to intellectual property concerns — instead, stay ahead by always working on the next idea. 📲 Connect with Charelle Lans Website: visionstrategymanagement.com Social Media: @CharelleLans on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Moniek Garside. A licensed clinical social worker and founder of Fit Life Wellness. Here's a comprehensive summary of the episode: 🎙️ Guest: Moniek Garside Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia, Colorado, Illinois, South Carolina, and Minnesota. Founder of Fit Life Wellness, a private mental health and wellness practice. Author of the guided journal I Can, I Will. 🧠 Key Topics Discussed 🧘‍♀️ What Therapy Really Is Therapy is not just “talking on a couch”—it’s a safe space for vulnerability, healing, and personal growth. It involves unpacking emotional challenges, not just surface-level advice. 🔄 Life Transitions Includes shifts like: Moving from corporate to entrepreneurship Divorce or children leaving home Personal reinvention Therapy helps individuals navigate uncertainty and redefine stability. 🧑‍💼 Mental Health for Entrepreneurs Entrepreneurs often neglect self-care in pursuit of success. Therapy helps them prioritize balance, manage burnout, and maintain mental clarity. Moniek emphasizes the importance of processing emotions and having a support system. 📘 About the Book: I Can, I Will A 30-day guided journal with weekly themes and daily prompts. Designed to help individuals: Reflect on their emotions Reset their mindset Overcome depression, anxiety, and life transitions Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and MoniekGarside.com 🧩 Common Mental Health Misconceptions Mental health is often oversimplified or trivialized on social media. Terms like “anxiety” and “boundaries” are used without understanding. Real healing requires professional guidance, not just affirmations or apps. 🧍‍♀️ Moniek’s Personal Journey Originally a nursing major, she transitioned to social work after realizing her passion was emotional care. She created Fit Life Wellness to have autonomy in how she supports clients. She is both a therapist and a therapy client—emphasizing the importance of self-work. 🧠 Mental Health Red Flags Depression: Irritability, isolation, loss of interest, low motivation. Anxiety: Racing thoughts, physical symptoms (e.g., heart palpitations), constant worry. 🧰 Therapy vs. Technology Apps and AI tools can supplement mental health care (e.g., affirmations, breathing exercises). But they cannot replace the human connection and insight of a trained therapist. 🌐 Connect with Moniek Garside Website: MoniekGarside.com Practice: Fit Life Wellness Services: Virtual therapy, clinical supervision, mental health resources #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Gregory Richardson. A cybersecurity expert and AI consultant. The conversation explores cybersecurity best practices, the rise of AI, and how Gregory is helping churches and nonprofits leverage technology to spread the gospel. 🔐 Cybersecurity Insights 🔹 Gregory’s Background Based in Dallas, Texas. Works full-time as an ethical hacker and cybersecurity consultant for major corporations and governments. Also a serial entrepreneur with ventures in real estate, consulting, and software. 🔹 Key Cybersecurity Takeaways Multitasking Myth: Gregory argues that humans are not wired for multitasking—focus leads to better outcomes. Password: Avoid using simple passwords like “1234.” Don’t reuse passwords across platforms. Use passphrases (e.g., Bible verses) for stronger security. Change passwords regularly. Password Vaults: Recommends using reputable services like Google or Microsoft. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Strongly encourages using 2FA to protect accounts. Phishing Scams: Be wary of urgent or fear-based emails. Always verify suspicious messages by contacting the company directly. Scammers often mimic trusted brands (e.g., Facebook, Bank of America). 🔹 The Bigger Picture Cybercrime now generates more revenue than global drug trafficking. Criminal organizations are well-funded and recruit tech talent to build sophisticated scams. 🤖 Artificial Intelligence & Opportunity 🔹 AI as a Tool for Good Compares AI to the Gutenberg printing press—initially misused, but ultimately transformative. Believes AI’s potential far outweighs its risks. 🔹 AI in Business Helps businesses identify “million-dollar problems” and solve them with AI. Example: Built a toll-tracking app for a car rental company that became more profitable than the rental business itself. Encourages entrepreneurs to use AI tools to build apps without needing coding skills. 🔹 AI in Education Created a custom math quiz app for his daughter using her course materials and AI. 🙏 AI for Churches & Nonprofits Gregory focuses on helping churches and nonprofits use AI to: Spread the gospel. Operate more efficiently. Compete with limited budgets. Offers consulting and resources through his website: GregoryRichardson.ai 📚 Book Mentioned Gregory has authored a book on using AI to solve business problems and create scalable solutions. 🎙️ Closing Notes Rashawn praises Gregory’s passion, clarity, and practical advice. Plans to bring him back for a deeper dive into AI’s role in faith-based and nonprofit work.   #STRAW #BEST #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
