Speaker 2: Car Let James, excuse me, doctor car lect James, how
Speaker 2: you doing, doctor James?
Speaker 3: I am awesome, Thank you, Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2: Now you down in Las Vegas, Nevada, I am hell loo.
Speaker 2: Are he born and raised there or you moved there?
Speaker 3: I was raised here. I was born in San Francisco,
Speaker 3: but I grew up here. Left many times and winded.
Speaker 2: About Okay, cool off air you was talking about AI.
Speaker 2: AI is a dominant form of conversation. In fact, I
Speaker 2: was in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago and
Speaker 2: I actually got in a car with no driver and
Speaker 2: felt comfortable with that car driving me around the city.
Speaker 1: In fact, I was a lot more comfortable. I didn't
Speaker 1: have to tip.
Speaker 2: I didn't even have to tip, driver didn't ask for
Speaker 2: a timp, just let me out and I would all
Speaker 2: buy my business. So for me to have that experience
Speaker 2: was unique because technology is in front of us and
Speaker 2: is not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: Talk about why you value AI so much.
Speaker 3: Because it makes life simplified. I am of an age
Speaker 3: group that finds it a little intimidating and scary, and
Speaker 3: so my dedication is to help them navigate through it
Speaker 3: and not be afraid of it. It is simply a tool.
Speaker 3: It's going to be a good tool in a good
Speaker 3: person's hand, it'll be a bad tool in a bad
Speaker 3: person's hand, but it is something that will definitely simplify
Speaker 3: your life.
Speaker 2: You know, I am old enough to have went through
Speaker 2: dial telephones.
Speaker 1: Then you know remote remote was a big deal. Got
Speaker 1: a remote TV the house. You know, I got the
Speaker 1: little cell phone.
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden when the era of
Speaker 2: the iPad and now you know you can talk to
Speaker 2: somebody around the world and visually see them. That's what
Speaker 2: technology is to us today. Now when you talk about
Speaker 2: your lying, that's effect which is a business model. Now,
Speaker 2: how does it help women move from purpose to profit
Speaker 2: with our co comprimising their values, Doctor James.
Speaker 3: It first teaches them their identity. Once they know who
Speaker 3: they are and they can embrace their uniqueness, then they
Speaker 3: can utilize that as their superpower. So once that happens,
Speaker 3: then you can start to step out in your true,
Speaker 3: authentic self, build business, be authentic to your clients or
Speaker 3: your customers because of who you are. But it starts
Speaker 3: with knowing who you are and identifying that, not trying
Speaker 3: to be anybody else, not trying to walk in anybody
Speaker 3: else's lane. So your authenticity is your empowerment. I call
Speaker 3: it your superpower.
Speaker 2: Use that word a lot, superpower. Why do you use
Speaker 2: the word superpower so much? And why is it important
Speaker 2: that you educate people to purpose as to why you're
Speaker 2: using it.
Speaker 3: Superpower means that for me, I'm a woman of faith,
Speaker 3: So for me, superpower means that you've taken the super
Speaker 3: of God, put it on your own natural and you've
Speaker 3: been in powers buy it. So that's why superpower is
Speaker 3: very very important to me.
Speaker 2: You know, women, I grew up with six sisters, I
Speaker 2: have two brothers that come from a big family, and
Speaker 2: there are so many challenges that women have to deal with,
Speaker 2: you know, you know, the looks become a part of it,
Speaker 2: how they dress become a part of how they talk,
Speaker 2: to have kids or not to have kids. So there's
Speaker 2: so many variables that are put in front of a woman.
Speaker 2: How do you motivate women to still seek out their
Speaker 2: dreams despite all these stereotypes of what they should look like,
Speaker 2: what they should do, and how they should educate themselves.
Speaker 3: Again, it goes back to your identity. If you are
Speaker 3: trying to be what culture you said that you are,
Speaker 3: then you're going to miss who you are authentically. We
Speaker 3: are on television, women being portrayed as a certain way.
Speaker 3: So I'm like you, I've grown up through all the
Speaker 3: different I can remember back in the day when there
Speaker 3: was model tweeting Twiggy and we're told you need to
Speaker 3: be twitting as an African American woman, just say.
Speaker 1: Right, right, right, right right.
Speaker 3: And so we needed to be able to love who
Speaker 3: we are, love our own skin, love how we were
Speaker 3: created to be so, and not try and emulate what
Speaker 3: culture has said. Even in the business community as we transition,
Speaker 3: we've gotten much better now see on boards when our
Speaker 3: CEOs and CEOs. But there was a time when the
Speaker 3: only thing you were good enough to do is be
Speaker 3: a secretary and other people right, Okay, you know your potential,
Speaker 3: but nobody else wanted to give you that chance. So
Speaker 3: you have to be comfortable enough to go forward and
Speaker 3: who you are without trying to be that bull in
Speaker 3: the China cabinet. I'm not trying to make waves. I
Speaker 3: am just trying to make room for who I am.
Speaker 1: Preach girl, Preach doctor Jay. You know you kind of
Speaker 1: got close to the camera on that one.
Speaker 2: Okay, but this is good because you don't people were
Speaker 2: passionate would drive success. But let's talk about some of
Speaker 2: the questions, you submit it because they were really good. Now,
Speaker 2: one of the questions was one of the biggest mindset
Speaker 2: and structural mistakes women make that prevent them from monetizing
Speaker 2: their expertise.
Speaker 3: That they're not good enough, that they are not enough
Speaker 3: just in who they are, and they based out on
Speaker 3: something that somebody said to them back in the day
Speaker 3: or something that they said to themselves. We can be
Speaker 3: our biggest limitter if we are not in the proper mindset.
Speaker 3: You'll hear me go back to ideay. I need to
Speaker 3: know who I am authentically so that I can appreciate
Speaker 3: that and not doubt it. Our uniqueness pushes us forward
Speaker 3: if you let what somebody told you so, maybe a
Speaker 3: teacher told you you weren't smart enough, right, Maybe a
Speaker 3: parent didn't allow you to express yourself now respectfully, but
Speaker 3: to express your conversations that no, a child needs to
Speaker 3: just be seen and not heard. You remember that back
Speaker 3: your day, and so you limited that because you didn't
Speaker 3: think your voice was valuable enough to be heard. And
Speaker 3: so you have to come up from that place and understand, no,
Speaker 3: you are enough. You are enough in who you were
Speaker 3: created to be. I am a firm believer that we
Speaker 3: were created on purpose for purpose. We are not a mistake,
Speaker 3: and we are not just here because Mama and Daddy
Speaker 3: decided to have some fun one night. We are here
Speaker 3: at this point of time because we have something to accomplish.
Speaker 1: Cool. I'm speaking doctor Corlette James. She's based in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: Her Faith Faith nonprofit organization is dedicated to empower women
Speaker 2: to heal lead. Let's talk about the first part, empower
Speaker 2: women to heal.
Speaker 1: Heal from what heal.
Speaker 3: From past traumas and abuses. Some of it comes from
Speaker 3: childhood abuse, some could be sexual abuse, some could be
Speaker 3: domestic abuse. Maybe you are in an abusive relationship. Others
Speaker 3: could be societal abuse because society would have put you
Speaker 3: in a box that you have to break out of.
Speaker 3: But in order to really realize your dreams and understand
Speaker 3: that your dreams are important, you have to heal from
Speaker 3: the various different abuses that caused you to limit your
Speaker 3: belief in yourself. So we help you just heal from
Speaker 3: that point.
Speaker 1: Now by healing, how does that allow you to lead?
Speaker 1: Doctor James.
Speaker 3: A hurt leader will hurt people.
Speaker 4: Okay, if you're still walking in that pain, you're not
Speaker 4: free to properly lead others to where you have been
Speaker 4: orchestrated to take them.
Speaker 3: Remember, leadership means you go out front, right, So if
Speaker 3: you haven't healed, then how are you going to help
Speaker 3: somebody else heal? If you're outfront leading, I can't take
Speaker 3: you to where I haven't been. I need to go
Speaker 3: out front, make the way and let you understand that
Speaker 3: if I can do it, you can do it. So
Speaker 3: that's why healing is so important in leadership.
Speaker 2: Now, when you look at you know yourself. You know
Speaker 2: you are a nonprofit business. Why did you decide to
Speaker 2: be an entrepreneur? Even though we were a nonprofit? You're
Speaker 2: an entrepreneur, you're a small business owner. Why was that
Speaker 2: important versus just nine to five forty hours a week,
Speaker 2: a little overtime here and there, got insurance, maybe a
Speaker 2: four to one k easy way out? Doctor James? What
Speaker 2: motivates you to walk a different path?
Speaker 3: I grew up in an entrepreneurial home. Okay, my parents
Speaker 3: were entrepreneurs and and please understand that I I.
Speaker 2: Was Okay, Okay, we're gonna get back to that question.
Speaker 2: Because you were in that world and now you're empowering
Speaker 2: people to not really basically have a voice, because in
Speaker 2: that world of a corporate structure, let's be honest, you
Speaker 2: don't have a voice.
Speaker 1: You don't have a voice, do you manage?
Speaker 2: You're doing business for what that company wants, and they
Speaker 2: have a brand they want you to maintain. So your
Speaker 2: voice is that brand. I don't care who you work for,
Speaker 2: what corporation you work for. Just like my company, I'm
Speaker 2: allowing you to work for me as long as you
Speaker 2: exercise the brand. I want you to project a distributor
Speaker 2: for me. Now, with that being said, you were fifty
Speaker 2: seven years at this company, but on the side you
Speaker 2: had this this superpower organization for women.
Speaker 1: How did you balance that?
Speaker 3: Because the Lioness war your kingdom is my passion.
Speaker 1: Okay, who I am? Okay, I am the Lionness.
Speaker 3: Okay, that is who I am. And you said something
Speaker 3: very very important. You your voice is the brand of
Speaker 3: who you're working for. If you're working for yourself, then
Speaker 3: your voice is your brand.
Speaker 2: You have a website, your social media because I want
Speaker 2: the people to become engaged and do research to find
Speaker 2: out about you and just don't go to Vegas to
Speaker 2: gamble this This superpower queen is waiting on you to
Speaker 2: change your life dot to call. Let James talk about
Speaker 2: your website and your social media.
Speaker 3: Mianus waryokingdom dot com.

Speaker 2: back to Money Making Conversations master Class with me Rashaun McDonald.
Speaker 1: Cool.
Speaker 2: You know faith based as a lot of people start
Speaker 2: their profits, but they tend to struggle, you know, like
Speaker 2: our business.
Speaker 1: Let's going to be real.
Speaker 2: All businesses start to struggle in the beginning unless you
Speaker 2: have a plan that people want to become engaged with
Speaker 2: or want to buy your products. But faith based businesses
Speaker 2: tend to struggle even more. Talk to us about that
Speaker 2: and how have you been able to over coming But
Speaker 2: you were smart, you're a full time job and you're
Speaker 2: developing your brand part time, but not everybody does that.
Speaker 1: Talk to us.
Speaker 3: So part of my My strategy is incorporating the Kingdom
Speaker 3: into your business. Okay, the minus affect business model does
Speaker 3: not separate your faith from your business. All right. It's
Speaker 3: not that you're out there preaking to your customers or
Speaker 3: your clients, but you're being authentic to your faith and
Speaker 3: your core value as you're out there. And so it's
Speaker 3: it's combined. And because of my my over thirty forty years.
Speaker 1: Come speak to you. I'm gonna change something.
Speaker 3: I'm changing.
Speaker 2: You don't want to make conversations with Rashan Mcdonald'm tell
Speaker 2: you them, Doctor James.
Speaker 1: I don't allow age to be an excuse.
Speaker 2: And I'm looking you guys might be listening on your podcast.
Speaker 2: You might be Oh, Year's ex Sam or something like that.
Speaker 1: This woman's fantastic.
Speaker 2: I don't know what she's been doing for fifty years,
Speaker 2: but she got about another fifty years the way she's
Speaker 2: looking working for herself. So please, if you have anything
Speaker 2: to take away from Rashan McDonald, project your greatness, because
Speaker 2: you can't accomplish what you're trying to accomplish unless you
Speaker 2: have lived a life. You cannot talk to a potential
Speaker 2: lyingness if you don't have examples of how you can
Speaker 2: live your life through your example. Long jeredy means something,
Speaker 2: doctor James. So it's back to you now let me.
Speaker 3: Say this, and because I'm proud of it, I'll be
Speaker 3: seventy this year.
Speaker 1: There you go, come on now, so you.
Speaker 3: Know, and it's something that I put out there because
Speaker 3: I want women to understand. You can dream at any age.
Speaker 3: It's pivot at any age. You can walk out there
Speaker 3: and start something totally brand new at any age. And
Speaker 3: so it's important to know, like I was trying.
Speaker 1: To it on it. I know you money maken sessions since.
Speaker 3: I was thirteen years old, so I was out in
Speaker 3: the workforce over fifty years. But as as an executive,
Speaker 3: I bring that that business acronym into what I teach
Speaker 3: with the lioness effects. So I combine the business aspect
Speaker 3: along with the Kingdom morals and values to teach absolutely.
Speaker 2: Let that be out here. How can women stop overserving
Speaker 2: and under earning while still leading with integrity and purpose?
Speaker 2: Talk to me about that, because they they choices. Okay,
Speaker 2: it's just choices about the way they look, the way
Speaker 2: they act. What are those choices?
Speaker 3: There's choices about your whole person, right, all right? Because again,
Speaker 3: even if you're on the job, you're still your brand.
Speaker 3: You're still who you are, all right, So don't don't
Speaker 3: be hesitant to speak up. You know, don't don't tell
Speaker 3: me your light. You were created to shine, So don't
Speaker 3: tell your light whether you're on the job or your business.
Speaker 3: Be authentically youth and speak and dress the part. Dress
Speaker 3: where you where you, not just where you are, because
Speaker 3: sometimes you may not be where you want to be,
Speaker 3: but dress the part where you want to be. Carry
Speaker 3: yourself in a manner that represents your bread. It's yours,
Speaker 3: whether you're on somebody else's job or not.
Speaker 1: You know, as you as you started your journey. And
Speaker 1: you're smart.
Speaker 2: I say smart because she didn't jump out there on
Speaker 2: faith with the Lioness.
Speaker 1: She had a full time job.
Speaker 2: So she was able to, I like to believe, build
Speaker 2: a better path to success because you didn't walk away
Speaker 2: from revenues.
Speaker 1: A lot of people they walk away from that revenue.
Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden they make it just rush
Speaker 2: decisions or impulsive decisions, or don't want to see it
Speaker 2: through because frustration can say then like bills are do
Speaker 2: and things of that nature. Talking to my listeners, being
Speaker 2: the fact that you decided to do to do two
Speaker 2: things at the same time and still give one hundred
Speaker 2: percent effort. How were you able to accomplish that? Doctor James,
Speaker 2: I use.
Speaker 3: Wisdom, seriously. I use wisdom to navigate what it is
Speaker 3: that I needed to do, and I had to prioritize
Speaker 3: my time. It's what I know that during a certain
Speaker 3: time of the day, my time is allocated to that
Speaker 3: job because they're paying me to do a job. They're
Speaker 3: not paying me to do my nonprofit. So I dealt
Speaker 3: with that now being an executive out there in the
Speaker 3: business world, my time was very valuable. And the fact
Speaker 3: that it wasn't a nine to five. You know, when
Speaker 3: you're in that c swee area, it's not a nine
Speaker 3: to five. But I still allocated time to pursue what
Speaker 3: I was passionate about. And even all the job, there
Speaker 3: were women that I mentioned on the job, so I
Speaker 3: was still to who I was women, that's what we're
Speaker 3: all to do and using wisdom and how you do
Speaker 3: it so that you don't get fired.
Speaker 2: She has a business model called the Lioness Effect. It
Speaker 2: helps women move from purpose to profit with our compromising
Speaker 2: their values. I want to go back to that line
Speaker 2: right there, move from purpose to profit with our compromising
Speaker 2: their values?
Speaker 1: What are you saying there? And when you.
Speaker 2: See it happening, how do you help someone correct what
Speaker 2: you deem as a problem.
Speaker 3: Going from purpose to profit is taking your your passion
Speaker 3: to a place of monetization. And that was something that
Speaker 3: I had to learn to do because I have a
Speaker 3: heart to serve and to give, and so it had
Speaker 3: to I had to stop and put a value on
Speaker 3: what I was giving. And a lot of times, when
Speaker 3: you're just giving everything away, it is not valued by
Speaker 3: that other person as much as if they put value
Speaker 3: on it, and that'll come from their pockets sometimes, So
Speaker 3: you have to learn and navigate the waters. I've been
Speaker 3: in ministry since nineteen ninety two, so giving was part
Speaker 3: of who I was. However, I'm still in business as well,
Speaker 3: and so there is a value on what I give
Speaker 3: you and what I offer you. My time is valuable
Speaker 3: and I have to learn that. So what I try
Speaker 3: to teach people to correct what they're doing is to
Speaker 3: value what they're serving. What is it that you're giving
Speaker 3: your customers, What is it that you're giving your clients
Speaker 3: and put value on that.
Speaker 2: Now that's important that you're saying that because of the
Speaker 2: fact that when you start doing actionable plan as the
Speaker 2: actionable items you know, you know, how do you give
Speaker 2: advice to clarify their value, their position, their expertise, and
Speaker 2: increase revenue because that's the bottom line, you want to
Speaker 2: make more money. So what actionable steps can listeners take
Speaker 2: immediately to clarify their value from you? From the model?
Speaker 2: Did you be we're really talking to women? The line's effect,
Speaker 2: that's your business model. Talk to us?
Speaker 3: What would you pay for I paid no question.
Speaker 1: You came out so strong to me.
Speaker 2: I got to start answered, well, I pay for value,
Speaker 2: doctor James. I went to you had me in class mode. Okay,
Speaker 2: doctor James, I pay for value?
Speaker 3: What you pay for what you're offering somebody else?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: Would it be valuable to you? And how much would
Speaker 3: you pay for it? What would it be worth to
Speaker 3: you to receive it? That's the first place that you
Speaker 3: have to start. If you wouldn't buy what you're trying
Speaker 3: to sell to somebody else, then why are you trying
Speaker 3: to sell it to somebody else? What is the quality?
Speaker 3: Not the quantity, but what is the quality in what
Speaker 3: you're offering? Have you brought it up to with a
Speaker 3: level of excellence. So the quality speaks to the price
Speaker 3: tame because if it doesn't, then you're spinning your wheels
Speaker 3: and you're not aligning yourself with who you should authentically be.
Speaker 3: As again, as a person of faith, you should be
Speaker 3: going over and above what the natural would be, because
Speaker 3: that's what God does for you. He goes over and
Speaker 3: above what He gives unto you, and you should follow
Speaker 3: that model. So what would you buy from you?
Speaker 1: Right, that's a beautiful question. I live on that motto.
Speaker 2: I said, people pay you on how they value you.
Speaker 1: You know, people call you if they see value to
Speaker 1: call you.
Speaker 2: Now if you don't position yourself, if you if you're
Speaker 2: a person at parties all the time, where they only
Speaker 2: want to call you when they want to go.
Speaker 1: To a party.
Speaker 2: If you're a person they seek strong mentorship where they
Speaker 2: gonna call you when they need advice. You get raised
Speaker 2: at you will get a raised at your job if
Speaker 2: people that person sees value in the work that you're
Speaker 2: consistently doing. But in the end, there are different layers
Speaker 2: about freedom and how to build wealth, and that's what
Speaker 2: we're talking about on money making conversations wealth building, and
Speaker 2: a lot of people want to win the lottery, which
Speaker 2: is a process over there, and if you spend enough
Speaker 2: time playing a lottery, you're gonna win something.
Speaker 1: How do you build wealth under the model that you
Speaker 1: call the Lioness.
Speaker 3: I look at wealth from various different avenues. I look
Speaker 3: at wealth first and foremost by the wisdom's walking there, okay,
Speaker 3: because wealth is not always monetary. Wealth can carry a
Speaker 3: whole lot of different things. My biggest wealth marget is
Speaker 3: the legacy that I'm leaving. What am I leaving behind?
Speaker 3: Because that's wealth, that's wealth, And then we start to
Speaker 3: build on the monetary. But first and foremost, what is
Speaker 3: it that you're leaving behind in the lives of the
Speaker 3: people that you're serving, your clients and your customers. Again,
Speaker 3: quality first, excellence. These things will build wealth for you
Speaker 3: because people will pay for quality. People think that, you know,
Speaker 3: you have to have to serve things that are cheap
Speaker 3: to make money because if I get something from you
Speaker 3: and it doesn't last, I'm not coming back to you, right.
Speaker 3: But if I get something that imparts something within me
Speaker 3: and it lasts, that's what the real of the old
Speaker 3: commercial with ZENI the quality to go here before the
Speaker 3: name goes on. Right, that's how you build wealth. Make
Speaker 3: sure you put the quality in before your brand your
Speaker 3: name goes on.
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about talent then, you know, you know,
Speaker 2: because a lot of people are talented out there, but
Speaker 2: talent is never a guarantee or is not a guarantee
Speaker 2: to build wealth. How do we menture people to understand
Speaker 2: that talent is only one of the values that you
Speaker 2: can have.
Speaker 1: If you got it, you.
Speaker 2: Win it, okay, But there also have to be some
Speaker 2: other steps that you need to put in place for
Speaker 2: long term success.
Speaker 1: Because you're talking about the word legacy.
Speaker 3: Know you're Lane. If you're talented and you're a creator,
Speaker 3: you may not be a business person. You may have
Speaker 3: to bring somebody alongside you to build your business. You're
Speaker 3: the talent, You've got the vision, you're the creative person.
Speaker 3: Know you're Lane. If you're not good at business, bring
Speaker 3: somebody alongside you to help me with business. If you're
Speaker 3: not good at marketing, what somebody alongside you to help
Speaker 3: you with marketing?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: No, you're lean and operate in it and that also
Speaker 3: will help you build wealth.
Speaker 2: That's important to say. I'm talking Todude, the one and only,
Speaker 2: Doctor Corlett James. You know, she made sure you know
Speaker 2: her daddy's name was caught, so they just added let
Speaker 2: on to it. She's West Coast girl now living in
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, changing lives, work for a job, fifty fifty
Speaker 2: years You one of these people, doctor James.
Speaker 1: You know you say, I'm about turn seventy.
Speaker 2: You know, in public, you see people you go, I know,
Speaker 2: I don't look like that, don't you do?
Speaker 1: I know I don't lie, am cause I do it
Speaker 1: all the time. I go, I don't walk like that,
Speaker 1: I don't dress like that.
Speaker 2: Because to live a good life, doctor James, as we
Speaker 2: close out this interview, there has to be a plan.
Speaker 2: You've been planning to look like this, to talk like this,
Speaker 2: talk about that, because a lot of people don't understand that.
Speaker 2: I've been thinking this way since I was eighteen years old.
Speaker 2: I met a gentleman. He was like thirty years old,
Speaker 2: and we were playing basketball in the park, and I
Speaker 2: thought he was like my age, and he struck me
Speaker 2: so much. He said, he said, don't live your age,
Speaker 2: live your life.
Speaker 1: And that stayed with me.
Speaker 2: And so the way I walk, the way I talk,
Speaker 2: the way I present myself is because that is the life.
Speaker 1: I want to have. How are you doing it, doctor James.
Speaker 3: I have made a declaration that I will never get old.
Speaker 3: I will get older. Therefore, I'm gonna keep going. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna keep going as long as I got breath in
Speaker 3: my body to keep going. I agree with you. I
Speaker 3: see some of my friends and they don't look like
Speaker 3: I love. But I made a decision and a choice
Speaker 3: at thirty two years old, a coup up out of
