Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Coylette James
Here is a clear, polished summary and outline of the Dr. Coylette James interview with Rushion McDonald, based entirely on the transcript you provided.
Summary of the Interview with Dr. Coylette James on Money Making Conversations Master Class
Ffounder of a faith‑based nonprofit and creator of The Lioness Effect—discusses her mission to empower women to heal, lead, and monetize their purpose without compromising their values. She and host Rushion McDonald explore themes such as identity, healing from trauma, walking in authenticity, entrepreneurship, integrating faith into business, and redefining wealth.
Dr. James emphasizes that women must first understand their identity and unique “superpower" before they can build meaningful businesses or confidently step into leadership. Drawing from her decades in corporate executive leadership and ministry, she explains how healing from past traumas, rejecting societal stereotypes, and valuing one’s own expertise are necessary steps toward long‑term success.
She also breaks down practical strategies for clarifying value, avoiding under‑earning, building integrity‑driven wealth, and developing a legacy. Her life philosophy—“Don’t live your age, live your life”—shows up in her mindset, style, and discipline, as she approaches age 70 with energy, purpose, and intention.
Purpose of the Interview
The interview aims to:
- Introduce Dr. Coylette James' work and her framework, The Lioness Effect, which helps women transform purpose into profit.
- Share practical guidance on identity, leadership, faith‑based entrepreneurship, and building wealth with integrity.
- Encourage women to overcome limiting beliefs, value their expertise, and break free from societal or personal constraints.
- Inspire listeners with Dr. James’s personal philosophy on aging, growth, and living boldly.
Key Takeaways 1. Identity Is the Foundation
- Women must first understand who they are to build authentic businesses.
- Uniqueness is a “superpower” and should not be traded for cultural expectations.
2. Healing Precedes Leadership
- Trauma—whether personal, societal, or generational—can limit confidence.
- “Hurt leaders will hurt people.” Women must heal to lead with clarity and compassion.
3. Authenticity Builds Trust and Value
- You are your greatest asset; your voice is your brand.
- Don’t shrink or dim your identity to fit an image or corporate mold.
4. Faith and Business Are Not Separate
- Dr. James teaches that faith should inform, not divide from, business practices.
- Integrity and values should guide branding, service, and pricing.
5. Stop Over‑Serving and Under‑Earning
- People often undervalue what they give because they haven’t valued it themselves.
- Women must attach a price to their expertise, time, and transformation they provide.
6. Quality Creates Wealth
- Wealth isn’t only money; it includes wisdom and legacy.
- Quality and excellence build strong brands and repeat customers.
7. Know Your Lane
- Talent alone doesn’t build wealth—business skills matter.
- Bring in help for areas outside your s

(01:01):
Please welcome to the Money Making Conversations in Manster Class.
Car Let James, excuse me, doctor car lect James, how
you doing, doctor James?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I am awesome, Thank you, Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Now you down in Las Vegas, Nevada, I am hell loo.
Are he born and raised there or you moved there?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I was raised here. I was born in San Francisco,
but I grew up here. Left many times and winded.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
About Okay, cool off air you was talking about AI.
AI is a dominant form of conversation. In fact, I
was in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago and
I actually got in a car with no driver and
felt comfortable with that car driving me around the city.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
In fact, I was a lot more comfortable. I didn't
have to tip.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I didn't even have to tip, driver didn't ask for
a timp, just let me out and I would all
buy my business. So for me to have that experience
was unique because technology is in front of us and
is not going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Talk about why you value AI so much.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Because it makes life simplified. I am of an age
group that finds it a little intimidating and scary, and
so my dedication is to help them navigate through it
and not be afraid of it. It is simply a tool.
It's going to be a good tool in a good
person's hand, it'll be a bad tool in a bad
(02:21):
person's hand, but it is something that will definitely simplify
your life.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You know, I am old enough to have went through
dial telephones.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Then you know remote remote was a big deal. Got
a remote TV the house. You know, I got the
little cell phone.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And then all of a sudden when the era of
the iPad and now you know you can talk to
somebody around the world and visually see them. That's what
technology is to us today. Now when you talk about
your lying, that's effect which is a business model. Now,
how does it help women move from purpose to profit
with our co comprimising their values, Doctor James.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It first teaches them their identity. Once they know who
they are and they can embrace their uniqueness, then they
can utilize that as their superpower. So once that happens,
then you can start to step out in your true,
authentic self, build business, be authentic to your clients or
(03:23):
your customers because of who you are. But it starts
with knowing who you are and identifying that, not trying
to be anybody else, not trying to walk in anybody
else's lane. So your authenticity is your empowerment. I call
it your superpower.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Use that word a lot, superpower. Why do you use
the word superpower so much? And why is it important
that you educate people to purpose as to why you're
using it.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Superpower means that for me, I'm a woman of faith,
So for me, superpower means that you've taken the super
of God, put it on your own natural and you've
been in powers buy it. So that's why superpower is
very very important to me.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
You know, women, I grew up with six sisters, I
have two brothers that come from a big family, and
there are so many challenges that women have to deal with,
you know, you know, the looks become a part of it,
how they dress become a part of how they talk,
to have kids or not to have kids. So there's
(04:25):
so many variables that are put in front of a woman.
How do you motivate women to still seek out their
dreams despite all these stereotypes of what they should look like,
what they should do, and how they should educate themselves.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Again, it goes back to your identity. If you are
trying to be what culture you said that you are,
then you're going to miss who you are authentically. We
are on television, women being portrayed as a certain way.
So I'm like you, I've grown up through all the
(05:00):
different I can remember back in the day when there
was model tweeting Twiggy and we're told you need to
be twitting as an African American woman, just say.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Right, right, right, right right.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
And so we needed to be able to love who
we are, love our own skin, love how we were
created to be so, and not try and emulate what
culture has said. Even in the business community as we transition,
we've gotten much better now see on boards when our
(05:39):
CEOs and CEOs. But there was a time when the
only thing you were good enough to do is be
a secretary and other people right, Okay, you know your potential,
but nobody else wanted to give you that chance. So
you have to be comfortable enough to go forward and
(06:00):
who you are without trying to be that bull in
the China cabinet. I'm not trying to make waves. I
am just trying to make room for who I am.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Preach girl, Preach doctor Jay. You know you kind of
got close to the camera on that one.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Okay, but this is good because you don't people were
passionate would drive success. But let's talk about some of
the questions, you submit it because they were really good. Now,
one of the questions was one of the biggest mindset
and structural mistakes women make that prevent them from monetizing
their expertise.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
That they're not good enough, that they are not enough
just in who they are, and they based out on
something that somebody said to them back in the day
or something that they said to themselves. We can be
our biggest limitter if we are not in the proper mindset.
(06:58):
You'll hear me go back to ideay. I need to
know who I am authentically so that I can appreciate
that and not doubt it. Our uniqueness pushes us forward
if you let what somebody told you so, maybe a
teacher told you you weren't smart enough, right, Maybe a
(07:19):
parent didn't allow you to express yourself now respectfully, but
to express your conversations that no, a child needs to
just be seen and not heard. You remember that back
your day, and so you limited that because you didn't
think your voice was valuable enough to be heard. And
(07:39):
so you have to come up from that place and understand, no,
you are enough. You are enough in who you were
created to be. I am a firm believer that we
were created on purpose for purpose. We are not a mistake,
and we are not just here because Mama and Daddy
decided to have some fun one night. We are here
at this point of time because we have something to accomplish.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Cool. I'm speaking doctor Corlette James. She's based in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Her Faith Faith nonprofit organization is dedicated to empower women
to heal lead. Let's talk about the first part, empower
women to heal.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Heal from what heal.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
From past traumas and abuses. Some of it comes from
childhood abuse, some could be sexual abuse, some could be
domestic abuse. Maybe you are in an abusive relationship. Others
could be societal abuse because society would have put you
in a box that you have to break out of.
(08:42):
But in order to really realize your dreams and understand
that your dreams are important, you have to heal from
the various different abuses that caused you to limit your
belief in yourself. So we help you just heal from
that point.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Now by healing, how does that allow you to lead?
Doctor James.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
A hurt leader will hurt people.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Okay, if you're still walking in that pain, you're not
free to properly lead others to where you have been
orchestrated to take them.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Remember, leadership means you go out front, right, So if
you haven't healed, then how are you going to help
somebody else heal? If you're outfront leading, I can't take
you to where I haven't been. I need to go
out front, make the way and let you understand that
if I can do it, you can do it. So
that's why healing is so important in leadership.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Now, when you look at you know yourself. You know
you are a nonprofit business. Why did you decide to
be an entrepreneur? Even though we were a nonprofit? You're
an entrepreneur, you're a small business owner. Why was that
important versus just nine to five forty hours a week,
a little overtime here and there, got insurance, maybe a
(10:01):
four to one k easy way out? Doctor James? What
motivates you to walk a different path?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I grew up in an entrepreneurial home. Okay, my parents
were entrepreneurs and and please understand that I I.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Was Okay, Okay, we're gonna get back to that question.
Because you were in that world and now you're empowering
people to not really basically have a voice, because in
that world of a corporate structure, let's be honest, you
don't have a voice.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You don't have a voice, do you manage?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
You're doing business for what that company wants, and they
have a brand they want you to maintain. So your
voice is that brand. I don't care who you work for,
what corporation you work for. Just like my company, I'm
allowing you to work for me as long as you
exercise the brand. I want you to project a distributor
(11:07):
for me. Now, with that being said, you were fifty
seven years at this company, but on the side you
had this this superpower organization for women.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
How did you balance that?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Because the Lioness war your kingdom is my passion.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Okay, who I am? Okay, I am the Lionness.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Okay, that is who I am. And you said something
very very important. You your voice is the brand of
who you're working for. If you're working for yourself, then
your voice is your brand.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You have a website, your social media because I want
the people to become engaged and do research to find
out about you and just don't go to Vegas to
gamble this This superpower queen is waiting on you to
change your life dot to call. Let James talk about
your website and your social media.
Speaker 3 (12:02):

(12:32):
back to Money Making Conversations master Class with me Rashaun McDonald.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
You know faith based as a lot of people start
their profits, but they tend to struggle, you know, like
our business.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Let's going to be real.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
All businesses start to struggle in the beginning unless you
have a plan that people want to become engaged with
or want to buy your products. But faith based businesses
tend to struggle even more. Talk to us about that
and how have you been able to over coming But
you were smart, you're a full time job and you're
developing your brand part time, but not everybody does that.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Talk to us.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
So part of my My strategy is incorporating the Kingdom
into your business. Okay, the minus affect business model does
not separate your faith from your business. All right. It's
not that you're out there preaking to your customers or
your clients, but you're being authentic to your faith and
your core value as you're out there. And so it's
(13:32):
it's combined. And because of my my over thirty forty years.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Come speak to you. I'm gonna change something.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I'm changing.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
You don't want to make conversations with Rashan Mcdonald'm tell
you them, Doctor James.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I don't allow age to be an excuse.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
And I'm looking you guys might be listening on your podcast.
You might be Oh, Year's ex Sam or something like that.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
This woman's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I don't know what she's been doing for fifty years,
but she got about another fifty years the way she's
looking working for herself. So please, if you have anything
to take away from Rashan McDonald, project your greatness, because
you can't accomplish what you're trying to accomplish unless you
have lived a life. You cannot talk to a potential
(14:23):
lyingness if you don't have examples of how you can
live your life through your example. Long jeredy means something,
doctor James. So it's back to you now let me.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Say this, and because I'm proud of it, I'll be
seventy this year.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
There you go, come on now, so you.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Know, and it's something that I put out there because
I want women to understand. You can dream at any age.
It's pivot at any age. You can walk out there
and start something totally brand new at any age. And
so it's important to know, like I was trying.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
To it on it. I know you money maken sessions since.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I was thirteen years old, so I was out in
the workforce over fifty years. But as as an executive,
I bring that that business acronym into what I teach
with the lioness effects. So I combine the business aspect
along with the Kingdom morals and values to teach absolutely.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Let that be out here. How can women stop overserving
and under earning while still leading with integrity and purpose?
Talk to me about that, because they they choices. Okay,
it's just choices about the way they look, the way
they act. What are those choices?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
There's choices about your whole person, right, all right? Because again,
even if you're on the job, you're still your brand.
You're still who you are, all right, So don't don't
be hesitant to speak up. You know, don't don't tell
me your light. You were created to shine, So don't
(16:05):
tell your light whether you're on the job or your business.
Be authentically youth and speak and dress the part. Dress
where you where you, not just where you are, because
sometimes you may not be where you want to be,
but dress the part where you want to be. Carry
yourself in a manner that represents your bread. It's yours,
(16:28):
whether you're on somebody else's job or not.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You know, as you as you started your journey. And
you're smart.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I say smart because she didn't jump out there on
faith with the Lioness.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
She had a full time job.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
So she was able to, I like to believe, build
a better path to success because you didn't walk away
from revenues.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
A lot of people they walk away from that revenue.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Then all of a sudden they make it just rush
decisions or impulsive decisions, or don't want to see it
through because frustration can say then like bills are do
and things of that nature. Talking to my listeners, being
the fact that you decided to do to do two
things at the same time and still give one hundred
(17:14):
percent effort. How were you able to accomplish that? Doctor James,
I use.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Wisdom, seriously. I use wisdom to navigate what it is
that I needed to do, and I had to prioritize
my time. It's what I know that during a certain
time of the day, my time is allocated to that
job because they're paying me to do a job. They're
not paying me to do my nonprofit. So I dealt
(17:40):
with that now being an executive out there in the
business world, my time was very valuable. And the fact
that it wasn't a nine to five. You know, when
you're in that c swee area, it's not a nine
to five. But I still allocated time to pursue what
I was passionate about. And even all the job, there
(18:00):
were women that I mentioned on the job, so I
was still to who I was women, that's what we're
all to do and using wisdom and how you do
it so that you don't get fired.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
She has a business model called the Lioness Effect. It
helps women move from purpose to profit with our compromising
their values. I want to go back to that line
right there, move from purpose to profit with our compromising
their values?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
What are you saying there? And when you.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
See it happening, how do you help someone correct what
you deem as a problem.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Going from purpose to profit is taking your your passion
to a place of monetization. And that was something that
I had to learn to do because I have a
heart to serve and to give, and so it had
to I had to stop and put a value on
what I was giving. And a lot of times, when
(19:03):
you're just giving everything away, it is not valued by
that other person as much as if they put value
on it, and that'll come from their pockets sometimes, So
you have to learn and navigate the waters. I've been
in ministry since nineteen ninety two, so giving was part
(19:24):
of who I was. However, I'm still in business as well,
and so there is a value on what I give
you and what I offer you. My time is valuable
and I have to learn that. So what I try
to teach people to correct what they're doing is to
value what they're serving. What is it that you're giving
(19:46):
your customers, What is it that you're giving your clients
and put value on that.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Now that's important that you're saying that because of the
fact that when you start doing actionable plan as the
actionable items you know, you know, how do you give
advice to clarify their value, their position, their expertise, and
increase revenue because that's the bottom line, you want to
make more money. So what actionable steps can listeners take
(20:13):
immediately to clarify their value from you? From the model?
Did you be we're really talking to women? The line's effect,
that's your business model. Talk to us?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
What would you pay for I paid no question.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
You came out so strong to me.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I got to start answered, well, I pay for value,
doctor James. I went to you had me in class mode. Okay,
doctor James, I pay for value?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
What you pay for what you're offering somebody else?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Would it be valuable to you? And how much would
you pay for it? What would it be worth to
you to receive it? That's the first place that you
have to start. If you wouldn't buy what you're trying
to sell to somebody else, then why are you trying
to sell it to somebody else? What is the quality?
Not the quantity, but what is the quality in what
(21:14):
you're offering? Have you brought it up to with a
level of excellence. So the quality speaks to the price
tame because if it doesn't, then you're spinning your wheels
and you're not aligning yourself with who you should authentically be.
As again, as a person of faith, you should be
(21:35):
going over and above what the natural would be, because
that's what God does for you. He goes over and
above what He gives unto you, and you should follow
that model. So what would you buy from you?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Right, that's a beautiful question. I live on that motto.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I said, people pay you on how they value you.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You know, people call you if they see value to
call you.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Now if you don't position yourself, if you if you're
a person at parties all the time, where they only
want to call you when they want to go.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
To a party.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
If you're a person they seek strong mentorship where they
gonna call you when they need advice. You get raised
at you will get a raised at your job if
people that person sees value in the work that you're
consistently doing. But in the end, there are different layers
about freedom and how to build wealth, and that's what
(22:30):
we're talking about on money making conversations wealth building, and
a lot of people want to win the lottery, which
is a process over there, and if you spend enough
time playing a lottery, you're gonna win something.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
How do you build wealth under the model that you
call the Lioness.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I look at wealth from various different avenues. I look
at wealth first and foremost by the wisdom's walking there, okay,
because wealth is not always monetary. Wealth can carry a
whole lot of different things. My biggest wealth marget is
the legacy that I'm leaving. What am I leaving behind?
(23:14):
Because that's wealth, that's wealth, And then we start to
build on the monetary. But first and foremost, what is
it that you're leaving behind in the lives of the
people that you're serving, your clients and your customers. Again,
quality first, excellence. These things will build wealth for you
(23:38):
because people will pay for quality. People think that, you know,
you have to have to serve things that are cheap
to make money because if I get something from you
and it doesn't last, I'm not coming back to you, right.
But if I get something that imparts something within me
and it lasts, that's what the real of the old
commercial with ZENI the quality to go here before the
(24:01):
name goes on. Right, that's how you build wealth. Make
sure you put the quality in before your brand your
name goes on.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Well, let's talk about talent then, you know, you know,
because a lot of people are talented out there, but
talent is never a guarantee or is not a guarantee
to build wealth. How do we menture people to understand
that talent is only one of the values that you
can have.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
If you got it, you.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Win it, okay, But there also have to be some
other steps that you need to put in place for
long term success.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Because you're talking about the word legacy.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Know you're Lane. If you're talented and you're a creator,
you may not be a business person. You may have
to bring somebody alongside you to build your business. You're
the talent, You've got the vision, you're the creative person.
Know you're Lane. If you're not good at business, bring
somebody alongside you to help me with business. If you're
(25:02):
not good at marketing, what somebody alongside you to help
you with marketing?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Right?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
No, you're lean and operate in it and that also
will help you build wealth.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
That's important to say. I'm talking Todude, the one and only,
Doctor Corlett James. You know, she made sure you know
her daddy's name was caught, so they just added let
on to it. She's West Coast girl now living in
Las Vegas, changing lives, work for a job, fifty fifty
years You one of these people, doctor James.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
You know you say, I'm about turn seventy.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You know, in public, you see people you go, I know,
I don't look like that, don't you do?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I know I don't lie, am cause I do it
all the time. I go, I don't walk like that,
I don't dress like that.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Because to live a good life, doctor James, as we
close out this interview, there has to be a plan.
You've been planning to look like this, to talk like this,
talk about that, because a lot of people don't understand that.
I've been thinking this way since I was eighteen years old.
I met a gentleman. He was like thirty years old,
and we were playing basketball in the park, and I
(26:07):
thought he was like my age, and he struck me
so much. He said, he said, don't live your age,
live your life.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
And that stayed with me.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
And so the way I walk, the way I talk,
the way I present myself is because that is the life.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I want to have. How are you doing it, doctor James.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I have made a declaration that I will never get old.
I will get older. Therefore, I'm gonna keep going. I'm
gonna keep going as long as I got breath in
my body to keep going. I agree with you. I
see some of my friends and they don't look like
I love. But I made a decision and a choice
at thirty two years old, a coup up out of
the street and take better care of myself, and that
(26:50):
made it different in how I am today at almost seventy.
It's like you have to make decisions about how important
are you right and then carry yourself accordingly.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That's right. She made me respond to her. I thought
she was talking to me. I thought she was out.
Thought I was in high school responding to it. But
she's a brilliant person who's living in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Doctor. Call that, James again, the line. That's effect. That's
her business model.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
It helps women move from purpose to profit with are
compromising their values. Thank you for coming to on Money

(01:01):
Please welcome to the Money Making Conversations in Manster Class.
Car Let James, excuse me, doctor car lect James, how
you doing, doctor James?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I am awesome, Thank you, Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Now you down in Las Vegas, Nevada, I am hell loo.
Are he born and raised there or you moved there?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I was raised here. I was born in San Francisco,
but I grew up here. Left many times and winded.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
About Okay, cool off air you was talking about AI.
AI is a dominant form of conversation. In fact, I
was in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago and
I actually got in a car with no driver and
felt comfortable with that car driving me around the city.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
In fact, I was a lot more comfortable. I didn't
have to tip.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I didn't even have to tip, driver didn't ask for
a timp, just let me out and I would all
buy my business. So for me to have that experience
was unique because technology is in front of us and
is not going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Talk about why you value AI so much.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Because it makes life simplified. I am of an age
group that finds it a little intimidating and scary, and
so my dedication is to help them navigate through it
and not be afraid of it. It is simply a tool.
It's going to be a good tool in a good
person's hand, it'll be a bad tool in a bad
(02:21):
person's hand, but it is something that will definitely simplify
your life.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You know, I am old enough to have went through
dial telephones.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Then you know remote remote was a big deal. Got
a remote TV the house. You know, I got the
little cell phone.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And then all of a sudden when the era of
the iPad and now you know you can talk to
somebody around the world and visually see them. That's what
technology is to us today. Now when you talk about
your lying, that's effect which is a business model. Now,
how does it help women move from purpose to profit
with our co comprimising their values, Doctor James.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It first teaches them their identity. Once they know who
they are and they can embrace their uniqueness, then they
can utilize that as their superpower. So once that happens,
then you can start to step out in your true,
authentic self, build business, be authentic to your clients or
(03:23):
your customers because of who you are. But it starts
with knowing who you are and identifying that, not trying
to be anybody else, not trying to walk in anybody
else's lane. So your authenticity is your empowerment. I call
it your superpower.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Use that word a lot, superpower. Why do you use
the word superpower so much? And why is it important
that you educate people to purpose as to why you're
using it.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Superpower means that for me, I'm a woman of faith,
So for me, superpower means that you've taken the super
of God, put it on your own natural and you've
been in powers buy it. So that's why superpower is
very very important to me.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
You know, women, I grew up with six sisters, I
have two brothers that come from a big family, and
there are so many challenges that women have to deal with,
you know, you know, the looks become a part of it,
how they dress become a part of how they talk,
to have kids or not to have kids. So there's
(04:25):
so many variables that are put in front of a woman.
How do you motivate women to still seek out their
dreams despite all these stereotypes of what they should look like,
what they should do, and how they should educate themselves.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Again, it goes back to your identity. If you are
trying to be what culture you said that you are,
then you're going to miss who you are authentically. We
are on television, women being portrayed as a certain way.
So I'm like you, I've grown up through all the
(05:00):
different I can remember back in the day when there
was model tweeting Twiggy and we're told you need to
be twitting as an African American woman, just say.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Right, right, right, right right.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
And so we needed to be able to love who
we are, love our own skin, love how we were
created to be so, and not try and emulate what
culture has said. Even in the business community as we transition,
we've gotten much better now see on boards when our
(05:39):
CEOs and CEOs. But there was a time when the
only thing you were good enough to do is be
a secretary and other people right, Okay, you know your potential,
but nobody else wanted to give you that chance. So
you have to be comfortable enough to go forward and
(06:00):
who you are without trying to be that bull in
the China cabinet. I'm not trying to make waves. I
am just trying to make room for who I am.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Preach girl, Preach doctor Jay. You know you kind of
got close to the camera on that one.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Okay, but this is good because you don't people were
passionate would drive success. But let's talk about some of
the questions, you submit it because they were really good. Now,
one of the questions was one of the biggest mindset
and structural mistakes women make that prevent them from monetizing
their expertise.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
That they're not good enough, that they are not enough
just in who they are, and they based out on
something that somebody said to them back in the day
or something that they said to themselves. We can be
our biggest limitter if we are not in the proper mindset.
(06:58):
You'll hear me go back to ideay. I need to
know who I am authentically so that I can appreciate
that and not doubt it. Our uniqueness pushes us forward
if you let what somebody told you so, maybe a
teacher told you you weren't smart enough, right, Maybe a
(07:19):
parent didn't allow you to express yourself now respectfully, but
to express your conversations that no, a child needs to
just be seen and not heard. You remember that back
your day, and so you limited that because you didn't
think your voice was valuable enough to be heard. And
(07:39):
so you have to come up from that place and understand, no,
you are enough. You are enough in who you were
created to be. I am a firm believer that we
were created on purpose for purpose. We are not a mistake,
and we are not just here because Mama and Daddy
decided to have some fun one night. We are here
at this point of time because we have something to accomplish.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Cool. I'm speaking doctor Corlette James. She's based in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Her Faith Faith nonprofit organization is dedicated to empower women
to heal lead. Let's talk about the first part, empower
women to heal.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Heal from what heal.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
From past traumas and abuses. Some of it comes from
childhood abuse, some could be sexual abuse, some could be
domestic abuse. Maybe you are in an abusive relationship. Others
could be societal abuse because society would have put you
in a box that you have to break out of.
(08:42):
But in order to really realize your dreams and understand
that your dreams are important, you have to heal from
the various different abuses that caused you to limit your
belief in yourself. So we help you just heal from
that point.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Now by healing, how does that allow you to lead?
Doctor James.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
A hurt leader will hurt people.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Okay, if you're still walking in that pain, you're not
free to properly lead others to where you have been
orchestrated to take them.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Remember, leadership means you go out front, right, So if
you haven't healed, then how are you going to help
somebody else heal? If you're outfront leading, I can't take
you to where I haven't been. I need to go
out front, make the way and let you understand that
if I can do it, you can do it. So
that's why healing is so important in leadership.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Now, when you look at you know yourself. You know
you are a nonprofit business. Why did you decide to
be an entrepreneur? Even though we were a nonprofit? You're
an entrepreneur, you're a small business owner. Why was that
important versus just nine to five forty hours a week,
a little overtime here and there, got insurance, maybe a
(10:01):
four to one k easy way out? Doctor James? What
motivates you to walk a different path?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I grew up in an entrepreneurial home. Okay, my parents
were entrepreneurs and and please understand that I I.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Was Okay, Okay, we're gonna get back to that question.
Because you were in that world and now you're empowering
people to not really basically have a voice, because in
that world of a corporate structure, let's be honest, you
don't have a voice.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You don't have a voice, do you manage?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
You're doing business for what that company wants, and they
have a brand they want you to maintain. So your
voice is that brand. I don't care who you work for,
what corporation you work for. Just like my company, I'm
allowing you to work for me as long as you
exercise the brand. I want you to project a distributor
(11:07):
for me. Now, with that being said, you were fifty
seven years at this company, but on the side you
had this this superpower organization for women.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
How did you balance that?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Because the Lioness war your kingdom is my passion.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Okay, who I am? Okay, I am the Lionness.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Okay, that is who I am. And you said something
very very important. You your voice is the brand of
who you're working for. If you're working for yourself, then
your voice is your brand.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You have a website, your social media because I want
the people to become engaged and do research to find
out about you and just don't go to Vegas to
gamble this This superpower queen is waiting on you to
change your life dot to call. Let James talk about
your website and your social media.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Mianus waryokingdom dot com.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Please don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
We'll be right back with more money Making Conversations Masterclass.
No need for you to do me a favor right
now to follow our subscribe to Money Making Conversation. It's

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Please do
me that favor, follow or subscribe money Making Conversations. Welcome
(12:32):
back to Money Making Conversations master Class with me Rashaun McDonald.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
You know faith based as a lot of people start
their profits, but they tend to struggle, you know, like
our business.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Let's going to be real.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
All businesses start to struggle in the beginning unless you
have a plan that people want to become engaged with
or want to buy your products. But faith based businesses
tend to struggle even more. Talk to us about that
and how have you been able to over coming But
you were smart, you're a full time job and you're
developing your brand part time, but not everybody does that.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Talk to us.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
So part of my My strategy is incorporating the Kingdom
into your business. Okay, the minus affect business model does
not separate your faith from your business. All right. It's
not that you're out there preaking to your customers or
your clients, but you're being authentic to your faith and
your core value as you're out there. And so it's
(13:32):
it's combined. And because of my my over thirty forty years.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Come speak to you. I'm gonna change something.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I'm changing.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
You don't want to make conversations with Rashan Mcdonald'm tell
you them, Doctor James.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I don't allow age to be an excuse.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
And I'm looking you guys might be listening on your podcast.
You might be Oh, Year's ex Sam or something like that.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
This woman's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I don't know what she's been doing for fifty years,
but she got about another fifty years the way she's
looking working for herself. So please, if you have anything
to take away from Rashan McDonald, project your greatness, because
you can't accomplish what you're trying to accomplish unless you
have lived a life. You cannot talk to a potential
(14:23):
lyingness if you don't have examples of how you can
live your life through your example. Long jeredy means something,
doctor James. So it's back to you now let me.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Say this, and because I'm proud of it, I'll be
seventy this year.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
There you go, come on now, so you.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Know, and it's something that I put out there because
I want women to understand. You can dream at any age.
It's pivot at any age. You can walk out there
and start something totally brand new at any age. And
so it's important to know, like I was trying.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
To it on it. I know you money maken sessions since.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I was thirteen years old, so I was out in
the workforce over fifty years. But as as an executive,
I bring that that business acronym into what I teach
with the lioness effects. So I combine the business aspect
along with the Kingdom morals and values to teach absolutely.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Let that be out here. How can women stop overserving
and under earning while still leading with integrity and purpose?
Talk to me about that, because they they choices. Okay,
it's just choices about the way they look, the way
they act. What are those choices?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
There's choices about your whole person, right, all right? Because again,
even if you're on the job, you're still your brand.
You're still who you are, all right, So don't don't
be hesitant to speak up. You know, don't don't tell
me your light. You were created to shine, So don't
(16:05):
tell your light whether you're on the job or your business.
Be authentically youth and speak and dress the part. Dress
where you where you, not just where you are, because
sometimes you may not be where you want to be,
but dress the part where you want to be. Carry
yourself in a manner that represents your bread. It's yours,
(16:28):
whether you're on somebody else's job or not.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You know, as you as you started your journey. And
you're smart.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I say smart because she didn't jump out there on
faith with the Lioness.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
She had a full time job.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
So she was able to, I like to believe, build
a better path to success because you didn't walk away
from revenues.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
A lot of people they walk away from that revenue.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Then all of a sudden they make it just rush
decisions or impulsive decisions, or don't want to see it
through because frustration can say then like bills are do
and things of that nature. Talking to my listeners, being
the fact that you decided to do to do two
things at the same time and still give one hundred
(17:14):
percent effort. How were you able to accomplish that? Doctor James,
I use.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Wisdom, seriously. I use wisdom to navigate what it is
that I needed to do, and I had to prioritize
my time. It's what I know that during a certain
time of the day, my time is allocated to that
job because they're paying me to do a job. They're
not paying me to do my nonprofit. So I dealt
(17:40):
with that now being an executive out there in the
business world, my time was very valuable. And the fact
that it wasn't a nine to five. You know, when
you're in that c swee area, it's not a nine
to five. But I still allocated time to pursue what
I was passionate about. And even all the job, there
(18:00):
were women that I mentioned on the job, so I
was still to who I was women, that's what we're
all to do and using wisdom and how you do
it so that you don't get fired.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
She has a business model called the Lioness Effect. It
helps women move from purpose to profit with our compromising
their values. I want to go back to that line
right there, move from purpose to profit with our compromising
their values?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
What are you saying there? And when you.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
See it happening, how do you help someone correct what
you deem as a problem.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Going from purpose to profit is taking your your passion
to a place of monetization. And that was something that
I had to learn to do because I have a
heart to serve and to give, and so it had
to I had to stop and put a value on
what I was giving. And a lot of times, when
(19:03):
you're just giving everything away, it is not valued by
that other person as much as if they put value
on it, and that'll come from their pockets sometimes, So
you have to learn and navigate the waters. I've been
in ministry since nineteen ninety two, so giving was part
(19:24):
of who I was. However, I'm still in business as well,
and so there is a value on what I give
you and what I offer you. My time is valuable
and I have to learn that. So what I try
to teach people to correct what they're doing is to
value what they're serving. What is it that you're giving
(19:46):
your customers, What is it that you're giving your clients
and put value on that.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Now that's important that you're saying that because of the
fact that when you start doing actionable plan as the
actionable items you know, you know, how do you give
advice to clarify their value, their position, their expertise, and
increase revenue because that's the bottom line, you want to
make more money. So what actionable steps can listeners take
(20:13):
immediately to clarify their value from you? From the model?
Did you be we're really talking to women? The line's effect,
that's your business model. Talk to us?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
What would you pay for I paid no question.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
You came out so strong to me.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I got to start answered, well, I pay for value,
doctor James. I went to you had me in class mode. Okay,
doctor James, I pay for value?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
What you pay for what you're offering somebody else?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Would it be valuable to you? And how much would
you pay for it? What would it be worth to
you to receive it? That's the first place that you
have to start. If you wouldn't buy what you're trying
to sell to somebody else, then why are you trying
to sell it to somebody else? What is the quality?
Not the quantity, but what is the quality in what
(21:14):
you're offering? Have you brought it up to with a
level of excellence. So the quality speaks to the price
tame because if it doesn't, then you're spinning your wheels
and you're not aligning yourself with who you should authentically be.
As again, as a person of faith, you should be
(21:35):
going over and above what the natural would be, because
that's what God does for you. He goes over and
above what He gives unto you, and you should follow
that model. So what would you buy from you?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Right, that's a beautiful question. I live on that motto.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I said, people pay you on how they value you.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You know, people call you if they see value to
call you.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Now if you don't position yourself, if you if you're
a person at parties all the time, where they only
want to call you when they want to go.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
To a party.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
If you're a person they seek strong mentorship where they
gonna call you when they need advice. You get raised
at you will get a raised at your job if
people that person sees value in the work that you're
consistently doing. But in the end, there are different layers
about freedom and how to build wealth, and that's what
(22:30):
we're talking about on money making conversations wealth building, and
a lot of people want to win the lottery, which
is a process over there, and if you spend enough
time playing a lottery, you're gonna win something.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
How do you build wealth under the model that you
call the Lioness.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I look at wealth from various different avenues. I look
at wealth first and foremost by the wisdom's walking there, okay,
because wealth is not always monetary. Wealth can carry a
whole lot of different things. My biggest wealth marget is
the legacy that I'm leaving. What am I leaving behind?
(23:14):
Because that's wealth, that's wealth, And then we start to
build on the monetary. But first and foremost, what is
it that you're leaving behind in the lives of the
people that you're serving, your clients and your customers. Again,
quality first, excellence. These things will build wealth for you
(23:38):
because people will pay for quality. People think that, you know,
you have to have to serve things that are cheap
to make money because if I get something from you
and it doesn't last, I'm not coming back to you, right.
But if I get something that imparts something within me
and it lasts, that's what the real of the old
commercial with ZENI the quality to go here before the
(24:01):
name goes on. Right, that's how you build wealth. Make
sure you put the quality in before your brand your
name goes on.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Well, let's talk about talent then, you know, you know,
because a lot of people are talented out there, but
talent is never a guarantee or is not a guarantee
to build wealth. How do we menture people to understand
that talent is only one of the values that you
can have.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
If you got it, you.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Win it, okay, But there also have to be some
other steps that you need to put in place for
long term success.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Because you're talking about the word legacy.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Know you're Lane. If you're talented and you're a creator,
you may not be a business person. You may have
to bring somebody alongside you to build your business. You're
the talent, You've got the vision, you're the creative person.
Know you're Lane. If you're not good at business, bring
somebody alongside you to help me with business. If you're
(25:02):
not good at marketing, what somebody alongside you to help
you with marketing?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Right?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
No, you're lean and operate in it and that also
will help you build wealth.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
That's important to say. I'm talking Todude, the one and only,
Doctor Corlett James. You know, she made sure you know
her daddy's name was caught, so they just added let
on to it. She's West Coast girl now living in
Las Vegas, changing lives, work for a job, fifty fifty
years You one of these people, doctor James.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
You know you say, I'm about turn seventy.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You know, in public, you see people you go, I know,
I don't look like that, don't you do?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I know I don't lie, am cause I do it
all the time. I go, I don't walk like that,
I don't dress like that.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Because to live a good life, doctor James, as we
close out this interview, there has to be a plan.
You've been planning to look like this, to talk like this,
talk about that, because a lot of people don't understand that.
I've been thinking this way since I was eighteen years old.
I met a gentleman. He was like thirty years old,
and we were playing basketball in the park, and I
(26:07):
thought he was like my age, and he struck me
so much. He said, he said, don't live your age,
live your life.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
And that stayed with me.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
And so the way I walk, the way I talk,
the way I present myself is because that is the life.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I want to have. How are you doing it, doctor James.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I have made a declaration that I will never get old.
I will get older. Therefore, I'm gonna keep going. I'm
gonna keep going as long as I got breath in
my body to keep going. I agree with you. I
see some of my friends and they don't look like
I love. But I made a decision and a choice
at thirty two years old, a coup up out of
the street and take better care of myself, and that
(26:50):
made it different in how I am today at almost seventy.
It's like you have to make decisions about how important
are you right and then carry yourself accordingly.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That's right. She made me respond to her. I thought
she was talking to me. I thought she was out.
Thought I was in high school responding to it. But
she's a brilliant person who's living in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Doctor. Call that, James again, the line. That's effect. That's
her business model.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
It helps women move from purpose to profit with are
compromising their values. Thank you for coming to on Money
