    E112. UNpacking The Startup Journey. 9.12.20

    Yesterday I submitted an application to the Venture Lab at Wharton “Venture Initiation Program-Xcelerate (VIP-X)” for startups. The application required a pitch deck, filling out a VIP-X questionnaire, and a two-minute video. This was my video (https://youtu.be/HmVqKjXQL6Q). I guess it wasn’t too bad since I found out last night that I’ve made it to the interview review round next week! VIP-X provides participants: one-on-one advising, seed funding, advanced entrepreneurship workshops, and individualized attention to get participants ready to launch their venture. Fingers crossed I have more good news to share later this month.

    E111. Daily Prayer.

    On the morning of Memorial Day 5/25/20, Steven Jackson (Co-Founder at ALLin Lifestyle: https://bit.ly/2GdpQiT) interviewed me about my return to Philly, my work with Bridges 2 Wealth, and what’s next for UNderdogstuff. It was an overall conversation on unpacking the journey. One of the questions Steven asked me was about my morning routine. I shared that my mornings include time for prayer and meditation. He then asked if I would share what I say in the mornings… The audio is my daily prayer and the video (by ALLin Lifestyle and originally aired here: https://youtu.be/O_eHxBPY1qA) is what has been happening daily since Memorial Day. *NEW FALL 2020!* The Weekend Word w/ Gregory Nesmith, powered by UNderdogstuff.

    Steven Jackson and Ricardo Calderón, Co-Founders of ALLin Lifestyle LLC, stop by the studio (virtually) to rap about the joy and pain of making their new short film “You Are Not Alone,” how to pick the right co-founder, tips on powerful storytelling, and how we can all work together in the future. Plus, you, our guests, and I answer this question: What would be the name of the short film, book, or mixtape made about you and your life in 2020?
