Corporate or Entrepreneur? We've all asked ourselves this question at some point in our lives, but have we ever considered that it was possible to do both and to do them well?
In this episode, your host Kimberly speaks with Shalaya Shipman, a multi-faceted hustler who leads multicultural marketing efforts for Black and Latinx CEOs through Salesforce technology, while also running a successful real estate business.
Tune in as Shalaya shares her journey of becoming her family's first college graduate with a Rhetoric degree, and eventually exploring the technological space after her traditional corporate life experience, all the while building a successful career in real estate. How did she do it all, and how did she not only adapt but thrive in these seemingly contrasting environments? Join in on the conversation and uncover Shalaya's insights on making such pivots, and how she structures her multifaceted career by leading with intention and purpose!
KEY POINTS:
- How the art of persuasive speech helped Shalaya create her own unique roles
- The importance of adaptability in your career and/or business
- Biggest pivots & lessons learned from the recession and COVID-19 pandemic
- Entrepreneurship vs intrapreneurship and how Shalaya did both
- Why systems and accountability are vital for sustainable success
- What is Shalaya's next move?
QUOTABLES:
"Technology has been an incredible vehicle for us to just show up in a new version of ourselves a new version for companies, we also have a responsibility as people and as companies to do the right thing. We can do that while still ensuring that we're driving the business forward." – Shalaya Shipman
"I teach my professionals that we really need to think two years at a time. What can I do? What is my two-year plan? What skill am I getting? What environment do I want to be in? What do I want my next move to look like?" – Kimberly Brown
"It really starts with loving the work that you're doing and having the accountability systems in place to help you be the most efficient with your time." – Shalaya Shipman

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
