So tell us a little bit aboutyou, about your family, your
background, dr Ellison.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Well, I was raised with my grandparents.
My grandfather died when I wasmostly with my grandmother,
aunts and uncles and got to knowthe Lord at a very young age
really back in 1967, through aseries of supernatural things
that took place visitations thatI got from Him and then growing
(04:39):
up in high school carrying thatwith me so I didn't get in some
of the ordeals that sometimespeople in the high school get
into.
And then, 1982, married mygirlfriend Now 42 years later,
and it seemed like one.
It's like what happened.
Three or four years have goneby and here it is, now 42 years,
(05:01):
and so I had the opportunity,as you read there in the bio, to
work as a statewide coordinatorwith the Office of Minority
Health and Community Collegesand so forth, and just love
empowering people.
That's part of what my passionis, right there In the area of
manhood, health and marriage,three major areas that I focus
(05:23):
on.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Dang it.
Wow, that's amazing andactually it's funny because my
husband and I, Dennis, weactually got married in 81.
So we have 43 years and 44August 29th.
So, there is hope.
There is hope, guys, to bemarried for a long time.
Like you said, it just passedby so fast.
So, yeah, dennis always says,you know, I can't believe that
(05:45):
if you're having fun, you know,I mean yeah, but there's
something he says like thattoday Gotcha, yeah, so no,
that's awesome and I'm so happythat you shared that, because
you know what you do.
As far as the men helping themen out too let's see you
marriage counseling, magnifyingmanhood movement.
(06:05):
I love that and I want to getDennis into that.
So let's talk to him about that.
So that'd be great.
Oh, okay, all right, so that'sgreat.
So let me ask you something.
Let's talk about health andwellness.
Can you share your personaljourney with health and wellness
and what inspired you to makeit a priority in your life?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Oh, wow.
Well, I used to work in theprison.
I worked in there from like 82,83 to 95.
Okay, while working in there Imet a gentleman right when we
were being hired and we've beenfriends now for 47 years.
He gave me a book entitled whyChristians Get Sick by George
(06:48):
Maltmus.
That book was my burning bushexperience.
It literally set my soul aflame, to the degree that I went out
and bought about $400 worth ofbooks seeking more information
about health and wellness.
Well, after I did that,consumed all of those books and
(07:11):
it was nothing but God's leading.
I ended up in a health foodstore and I asked the lady about
the degree on her wall.
What is that Naturopathicdoctorate degree?
I'm like, what is that?
I'd never heard of it.
She told me about it.
Told me the school to get intois that?
I'd never heard of it.
She told me about it, told methe school to get into.
(07:32):
I got involved in the school,got the doctoral degree and
guess what happened?
My hunger intensified.
So I went back and got acertified nutritional consultant
certification and after Ifinished that, guess what
happened?
My hunger intensified.
I mean, what is going on here?
I'm chasing that rabbit,finding out information from
(07:53):
food politics, finding outinformation from, I mean, things
that are prematurely killingpeople to you know just
lifestyles Ended up studyingdifferent groups like the Hunzas
of northern Pakistan.
I had the opportunity, I wasinvited over several times to
(08:14):
South Africa and I had theopportunity to train the
employees of a multi-billiondollar mining company.
Their lowest degrees weremaster's degrees and up.
So I had the opportunity to gothere and while I was sharing
about the Hunzas, lo and behold,there was a medical director
(08:34):
sitting in the back of the roomthat after I finished, he said I
know that that gentleman fromAmerica is telling you the truth
because I lived among theHunzas, he said, for 11 years.
He said I'll watch those men goup into the mountain on a
20-mile venture and come backthe same day, men that were in
(08:57):
their 80s and their 90s, and hewould say that women would start
having children in their 50sand their 60s in that culture,
wow.
So over the years I've justbeen inflamed, still study it
right to this day health andwellness and just determined to
(09:17):
share all the information that Ican so that people can protect
their number one wealth andpromote it at the same time.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Wow, that is awesome, I tell you, and the hunger that
you have for that, that you,you know that you wanted to
learn.
That's what's amazing, becausea lot of people give up, you
know, I mean I got my bachelor'sdegree and I'll say, okay, I'm
done.
But I went to IBM school.
So that was 36 years of IBMschool.
But what you're doing is amazingto share and to coach people on
(09:49):
their health.
Now I am so happy that you knowthat you learn this and being
able to share.
So what are some of thepractical tips that you
recommend for maintainingbalance between physical, mental
and emotional health?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Well, I think it starts with developing a
consciousness.
We've got to start there.
The scriptures tell us that weare destroyed for the lack of
knowledge.
Knowledge brings awarenessabout these different areas,
from the physical to the mental,to the emotional.
So I've got to become aware,and I forgot who it was that I
(10:25):
read this statement Observe allmen yourself.
Most Meaning for me.
I need to study myself.
I need to study how I respondin given situations, mentally,
emotionally, and then beconscious of what my emotions
and my thoughts do to myphysical body.
(10:48):
This is very important.
When I was there in South Africa, a gentleman talked about
psychoneuroimmunology.
All right,psychoneuroimmunology, talking
about how our thoughts affectour immune system.
Psychoneuro, how our thoughtsaffect our nervous system.
That affects our immune system.
Psychoneural, how our thoughtsaffect our nervous system.
(11:10):
That affects our immune system.
And I coined it this way.
I said back to him okay, I getwhere you're coming from,
because I learned that everycell in our bodies goes to the
attention or comes to theattention of our thoughts.
(11:31):
So I've got to make sure that mythoughts are good thoughts,
because they affect my nervoussystem, that affects my immune
system, that affects myrelationships.
So I believe it starts withconsciousness and, of course,
spilling over into what we dophysically making sure that
we're eating the healthiest dietthat we can.
All right, making sure we'reputting the good stuff in there.
(11:54):
And another tip would be we'vegot to have self-care time To
what we break away from it allthis is going to be a Calvin
Ellison half an hour, 15 minutesor whatever.
We've got to practice self-careand practice boundaries and
disciplines so that the boatdoesn't become overrun with all
(12:18):
the waters of the cares, of thedealings of life.
I got to have some time towhere I pull away.
Back away, even Calvin Ellison,which is hard for me, back away
, even Calvin Ellis, which ishard for me.
Put your cell phone down at acertain time, you know, back
(12:39):
away from it, go out and sit innature and let the psychology of
nature help you relax.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
That's awesome.
So self-care is very important.
I love that.
I love that.
So let me ask you somethingabout the community.
What inspires you to become soinvolved in community engagement
and why do you believe it'simportant?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Well, it began with my passion, as I began to grow
in life, to want to contribute,and the more that passion grew,
and then opportunities to getinvolved in this and get
involved in that, and then,while doing so, getting a
snapshot of what community lookslike, I'm like, oh my God, we
(13:20):
need to be built in thisparticular area of community or
that particular area ofcommunity, and while at the same
time seeking to better myself,it just dawned on me that when
you go into a certainenvironment and you've been
gifted, you've been prepared,you know, through your own
evolution, then, calvin Ellison,you should seek to make or to
(13:45):
help that community be better.
And I live like this.
Now, wanda, if it didn't getbetter as a result of me having
been there X amount of time,calvin Ellison, did you deliver
the goods of what has beendeveloped in you over a period
of time?
Did you deliver the goods?
Did you go into that team, thatcommunity, with the intent,
(14:10):
with what you have, to make itbetter?
So that's my determination nowI live with it that wherever I'm
placed at, you've got to makeit better.
Because if you didn't, what wasthe use of your presence being?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
there.
Wow, that was a powerfulnuggets that you just shared
there.
I mean, that's awesome.
So have you faced any kind ofchallenges that you face
engaging with the communitiesand how did you overcome them?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Well, definitely, the challenges are there.
Anytime you step on the fieldof play or the court of play in
life, when you're looking at thesports analogy, you're going to
have the opposition, you'regoing to have the challenges.
And part of my challenge isbecause I like, or I have become
developed to a point, Wanda, towhere I like to drive 90 in a
(14:59):
15.
So part of my challenge is,first of all, with myself.
You got to slow it down becausethe ones that you're going to
they're not driving that fastinitially, they're not moving at
the speed that you're moving at, and so the challenge is with
me personally.
Ok, I got to slow it down, I'vegot to.
(15:21):
I got to work with them at thespeed that they're at in hopes
that they'll come somewhereclose to the speed of my
operation.
So the challenge has beenhelping people step up and
embrace the urgency of now, inlight of the conditions that
(15:41):
exist, that we don't haveforever, when we look at the
state of where our families are,where our men are, where our
men are, where our young boysand young girls are, and so I
hit the scene with y'all we'vegot to move right now.
And they're like what are youtalking about.
We've become so normal in whatis happening where it's normal
(16:03):
and I'm like, no, it's notnormal, this is urgency, yeah.
But when we hear statistics likeI think it's the East Indians—
they are at the top.
Their medium household incomeis like somewhere between
$115,000, $120,000, right, buttheir family togetherness is at
(16:26):
a high of 94%.
Their medium household incomeis like $110,000, and their
family them keeping their familytogether is somewhere in that
80%, I believe.
And then after that are theCaucasians, the whites, where
(16:48):
their medium household income isaround $88,000, and their
family being together is like70%.
And then the Hispanics beingsomewhere like 68, 70,000, and
their family them keeping theirfamily together is ranging
somewhere at the 60%.
But then we in the Blackcommunity, somewhere around
(17:11):
55,000.
But our family the statisticsshow that we're at 34%.
The statistics show that we'reat 34% and unless we do
something different in the next20 years, it's projected that
we'll be down in the teens.
So when I look at and studyconditions like that, I'm
(17:32):
parking in the driveway at 90 inmy mind and I'm having to
engage with people who are at 35or 40.
So the challenge is to helppeople see that we have got to
step to the table that you'vegot to put aside your personal
agenda to a degree to plug intosomething that's larger than
(17:54):
your reality, that when you do,your reality gets better as a
result of you helping thecommunity to get better.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Wow, that you, you laid it down there, I tell you,
you know, and it's really aboutand you can see the different
nationality it's abouttogetherness.
You know how you can worktogether and build yourself up,
build your family up, and thatreally makes a difference.
But you are, you are so rightwith those statistics.
We try to help.
You know our families andfriends to be up there, and I
(18:23):
hear you about the night.
Dennis talks about me all thetime I'm driving at 90.
And he said can you slow down?
I'm trying to get down to this.
You're going to have to catchup.
You're going to have to catchup.
So you know.
But that is so true, that is.
I love how you put that inperspective.
So let's talk about yourpersonal and professional growth
.
What key moments in your lifecontributed to your personal and
(18:45):
professional growth?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Well, it goes back to early in life, you know, living
out in the country we wereliving in these two-story houses
, old two-story houses.
I was mentally embarrassed whenthe school bus would come by to
our house because it was likeyou were at the monster's house,
you know.
(19:09):
And then when we would go tosomebody else's house and pick
them up nice house, neighborhoodI'm like wait a minute,
something's got to be better.
Life has got to be better thanthis.
So this thing went off on theinside of me.
I guess God stirred it to whereI wanted to better myself.
I want to keep getting better.
I want to maximize the lifethat I have in whatever stage or
(19:34):
opportunity that I come to.
I don't want to be scoring fiveor 10 points.
I don't want to be scoring 20points in 2025 when that's what
I did in 24.
So I'm like come on, ellison,you got to get better.
So that drive to get better,wanting to better myself, has
been with me now for a number ofyears and I'm more determined
(19:56):
now than what I've ever been toput points on the board, to
score for humanity, for mycommunity or whatever or whoever
I'm connected to.
So that drive continues nowmore than ever before.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Wow, wow.
You put it there, so I'mtelling you.
I got to have you back on myshow.
So let's talk about health andwellness real quick.
What inspired your focus onhealth and wellness?
And I know you do CMOS, so tellus about what your focus.
What inspired you to actuallyget into that?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Well, again too, wanda, looking at conditions of
people in my own family you knowwhen they would get to a
certain age I'm like wait aminute, I don't want to be like
that.
I don't want to be like that.
I don't want to when I'm in my60s and I'm having to walk with
(20:48):
a cane and in and out of thehospital.
Just looking at humanconditions, I guess it's like
somewhat like when Nehemiahchecked out what was going on
among his people and went backto the king and the king was
like wait a minute, are you okay?
Because Nehemiah had theresponsibility of tasting the
back to the king, and the kingwas like wait a minute, are you
okay?
Because Nehemiah had theresponsibility of tasting the
food for the king.
So when the king saw thatNehemiah's face was dropped, he
was like wait a minute, is foodthat you're eating making you
(21:10):
sad looking or what?
And Nehemiah's response was no,it's the condition of my people
.
So just looking at people'scondition and knowing that we
can have it better and wantingto find a way to get it better
has driven my passion to causepeople starting with myself
(21:30):
first, and here's my tagline topromote our health versus
fighting disease.
Our health versus fightingdisease.
Awesome, say that again.
Yeah, my focus is helpingpeople promote their health,
giving ideas and concepts andinformation that will promote
rebuild our health versus havingto spend the time fighting
(21:54):
disease.
We've been like this for years,and hours of prevention is
worth more than a pound of cure.
So I want to be on thatpromoting versus fighting.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Okay, that's, that's, that's all right.
I love that.
I love how you said that, so,so what legacy do you want you
hope to leave in these areas ofwhat you're doing now?
Wow?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
I want to leave the legacy of stirring people so
passionately, stirring up what'sin them, to where we're
thinking about making thingshappen, not just accepting
things as they are.
I want to stir in a generationof people look, let's get off of
(22:40):
where we're sitting at.
Make things happen so that wecan create new realities.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That's a great way to put that.
I love it.
So, and I was going to ask youabout the most passionate about
the stages of your life now, andyou really kind of pretty much
told us what you wanted to do,right as far as your medicine.
So let's talk about your booksNow.
How many books you got outthere and tell us about your
books?
What people can get in touchwith you and get your books?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Gotcha Got, I think it's 11 that's out there, from
dealing with health to marriage,to men, to motivational books.
We've got, I think, three bookson men, magnifying manhood and
marriage.
I've got two books on health,the Seven-Day Meal Plan and then
(23:30):
the other book, vibrantInsights for Health and Wellness
.
And then, of course, we've gota book out there, where God
Wants to Meet you Next, oh wow,which goes right along with my
book Beyond your Comfort Zones,you know, and so yeah.
(23:51):
So we touch on againmotivational stuff men, marriage
and health in particular.
Those are our focuses andpeople can get copies of the
book.
They'll go to my website atellisonconsultingcom.
Ellison's E-L-L-I-S-O-N-Sconsultingcom.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Okay, you're going to send because I'm going to have
that in my show notes as well,so to get your website.
So you're going to send that tome so I can make sure, when
your podcast come out, all ofthat's in there and also how
they can get in touch with youas well.
So that to you already.
Yeah, yeah, you probably did,I'm sorry.
Yeah, it's been kind of one ofthose weeks here and it's didn't
it just started.
Trust me, I understand.
(24:32):
So what business are you stillin and how does it benefit
society?
So what business are you stillin and how does it benefit
society?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Well, I'm really into developing like never before my
podcast.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Yes, tell us about your podcast.
Is it NextUp podcast?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yes, NextUp N-X-T, NextUp podcast.
It's all about getting peopleto think about what's next.
People to think about what'snext, you know, and as I like to
say, it's a podcast where webring encouragement,
enlightenment, edutainment andempowerment.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Okay, I love it.
We're going to be on yourpodcast.
I'm excited to be on yourpodcast.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
I'm excited about it Next week, I believe it is so
yeah forward to it.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yes, me and my husband Dennis, so we're both
going to be on there.
He's kind of shy, so be gentleon him, be gentle with me.
Okay, okay, I'm used to it.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I'm used to it, I'll get him, I'll pull him out of it
but cool.
So into that Wanda as far asthe Next Up podcast and also
(25:45):
work with an entity where it'sgiven me the opportunity to help
get resources to nations, andthat entity is that company, is
Supernova, to where I'm working,dear God.
Like today we had Uganda at thetable, Tomorrow we're
havingania at the table to helpget resources, electricity,
homes, clean water and gettingnations the opportunity, getting
(26:06):
them to the table ofopportunity.
So those are my major focusesright now being a gateway to
getting resources into nationsto where, like in Nigeria,
there's only 4,000 megawatts ofelectricity in 150 million
(26:27):
country population, only 4,000.
To put it in perspective, let'ssay South Africa has only 60
million people with over 50,000watts.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
So you can see the drastic difference there to
where people go for days and nolights.
Yeah, you know, it's funnybecause my virtual assistant,
she's in South Africa and a lotof times we have to cancel
because her electricity is notout of her, her Internet is not
up.
So I think it's about is it allunderground?
Is that what it is?
So I'm not sure on that.
Yeah, yeah, but, yeah, but,yeah, her, her, yeah, she goes
to that as well.

supplement and the CMOS isloaded with 92 minerals and
vitamins that help witheverything from inflammation to

he'll share some with me,because he did not share much

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Gotcha, gotcha, yeah, when he got that small jar that
night'm like he'll be callingback he just said you sure you
don't want that.

But we're going to be on myshow again because there's a lot
to talk about here, but we'regoing to just dive into some
more, some of the ones that'sreally catching it to you now.
So tell us a little bit aboutyou, about your family, your
background, dr Ellison.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Well, I was raised with my grandparents.
My grandfather died when I wasmostly with my grandmother,
aunts and uncles and got to knowthe Lord at a very young age
really back in 1967, through aseries of supernatural things
that took place visitations thatI got from Him and then growing
(04:39):
up in high school carrying thatwith me so I didn't get in some
of the ordeals that sometimespeople in the high school get
into.
And then, 1982, married mygirlfriend Now 42 years later,
and it seemed like one.
It's like what happened.
Three or four years have goneby and here it is, now 42 years,
(05:01):
and so I had the opportunity,as you read there in the bio, to
work as a statewide coordinatorwith the Office of Minority
Health and Community Collegesand so forth, and just love
empowering people.
That's part of what my passionis, right there In the area of
manhood, health and marriage,three major areas that I focus
(05:23):
on.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Dang it.
Wow, that's amazing andactually it's funny because my
husband and I, Dennis, weactually got married in 81.
So we have 43 years and 44August 29th.
So, there is hope.
There is hope, guys, to bemarried for a long time.
Like you said, it just passedby so fast.
So, yeah, dennis always says,you know, I can't believe that
(05:45):
if you're having fun, you know,I mean yeah, but there's
something he says like thattoday Gotcha, yeah, so no,
that's awesome and I'm so happythat you shared that, because
you know what you do.
As far as the men helping themen out too let's see you
marriage counseling, magnifyingmanhood movement.
(06:05):
I love that and I want to getDennis into that.
So let's talk to him about that.
So that'd be great.
Oh, okay, all right, so that'sgreat.
So let me ask you something.
Let's talk about health andwellness.
Can you share your personaljourney with health and wellness
and what inspired you to makeit a priority in your life?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Oh, wow.
Well, I used to work in theprison.
I worked in there from like 82,83 to 95.
Okay, while working in there Imet a gentleman right when we
were being hired and we've beenfriends now for 47 years.
He gave me a book entitled whyChristians Get Sick by George
(06:48):
Maltmus.
That book was my burning bushexperience.
It literally set my soul aflame, to the degree that I went out
and bought about $400 worth ofbooks seeking more information
about health and wellness.
Well, after I did that,consumed all of those books and
(07:11):
it was nothing but God's leading.
I ended up in a health foodstore and I asked the lady about
the degree on her wall.
What is that Naturopathicdoctorate degree?
I'm like, what is that?
I'd never heard of it.
She told me about it.
Told me the school to get intois that?
I'd never heard of it.
She told me about it, told methe school to get into.
(07:32):
I got involved in the school,got the doctoral degree and
guess what happened?
My hunger intensified.
So I went back and got acertified nutritional consultant
certification and after Ifinished that, guess what
happened?
My hunger intensified.
I mean, what is going on here?
I'm chasing that rabbit,finding out information from
(07:53):
food politics, finding outinformation from, I mean, things
that are prematurely killingpeople to you know just
lifestyles Ended up studyingdifferent groups like the Hunzas
of northern Pakistan.
I had the opportunity, I wasinvited over several times to
(08:14):
South Africa and I had theopportunity to train the
employees of a multi-billiondollar mining company.
Their lowest degrees weremaster's degrees and up.
So I had the opportunity to gothere and while I was sharing
about the Hunzas, lo and behold,there was a medical director
(08:34):
sitting in the back of the roomthat after I finished, he said I
know that that gentleman fromAmerica is telling you the truth
because I lived among theHunzas, he said, for 11 years.
He said I'll watch those men goup into the mountain on a
20-mile venture and come backthe same day, men that were in
(08:57):
their 80s and their 90s, and hewould say that women would start
having children in their 50sand their 60s in that culture,
wow.
So over the years I've justbeen inflamed, still study it
right to this day health andwellness and just determined to
(09:17):
share all the information that Ican so that people can protect
their number one wealth andpromote it at the same time.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Wow, that is awesome, I tell you, and the hunger that
you have for that, that you,you know that you wanted to
learn.
That's what's amazing, becausea lot of people give up, you
know, I mean I got my bachelor'sdegree and I'll say, okay, I'm
done.
But I went to IBM school.
So that was 36 years of IBMschool.
But what you're doing is amazingto share and to coach people on
(09:49):
their health.
Now I am so happy that you knowthat you learn this and being
able to share.
So what are some of thepractical tips that you
recommend for maintainingbalance between physical, mental
and emotional health?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Well, I think it starts with developing a
consciousness.
We've got to start there.
The scriptures tell us that weare destroyed for the lack of
knowledge.
Knowledge brings awarenessabout these different areas,
from the physical to the mental,to the emotional.
So I've got to become aware,and I forgot who it was that I
(10:25):
read this statement Observe allmen yourself.
Most Meaning for me.
I need to study myself.
I need to study how I respondin given situations, mentally,
emotionally, and then beconscious of what my emotions
and my thoughts do to myphysical body.
(10:48):
This is very important.
When I was there in South Africa, a gentleman talked about
psychoneuroimmunology.
All right,psychoneuroimmunology, talking
about how our thoughts affectour immune system.
Psychoneuro, how our thoughtsaffect our nervous system.
That affects our immune system.
Psychoneural, how our thoughtsaffect our nervous system.
(11:10):
That affects our immune system.
And I coined it this way.
I said back to him okay, I getwhere you're coming from,
because I learned that everycell in our bodies goes to the
attention or comes to theattention of our thoughts.
(11:31):
So I've got to make sure that mythoughts are good thoughts,
because they affect my nervoussystem, that affects my immune
system, that affects myrelationships.
So I believe it starts withconsciousness and, of course,
spilling over into what we dophysically making sure that
we're eating the healthiest dietthat we can.
All right, making sure we'reputting the good stuff in there.
(11:54):
And another tip would be we'vegot to have self-care time To
what we break away from it allthis is going to be a Calvin
Ellison half an hour, 15 minutesor whatever.
We've got to practice self-careand practice boundaries and
disciplines so that the boatdoesn't become overrun with all
(12:18):
the waters of the cares, of thedealings of life.
I got to have some time towhere I pull away.
Back away, even Calvin Ellison,which is hard for me, back away
, even Calvin Ellis, which ishard for me.
Put your cell phone down at acertain time, you know, back
(12:39):
away from it, go out and sit innature and let the psychology of
nature help you relax.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
That's awesome.
So self-care is very important.
I love that.
I love that.
So let me ask you somethingabout the community.
What inspires you to become soinvolved in community engagement
and why do you believe it'simportant?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Well, it began with my passion, as I began to grow
in life, to want to contribute,and the more that passion grew,
and then opportunities to getinvolved in this and get
involved in that, and then,while doing so, getting a
snapshot of what community lookslike, I'm like, oh my God, we
(13:20):
need to be built in thisparticular area of community or
that particular area ofcommunity, and while at the same
time seeking to better myself,it just dawned on me that when
you go into a certainenvironment and you've been
gifted, you've been prepared,you know, through your own
evolution, then, calvin Ellison,you should seek to make or to
(13:45):
help that community be better.
And I live like this.
Now, wanda, if it didn't getbetter as a result of me having
been there X amount of time,calvin Ellison, did you deliver
the goods of what has beendeveloped in you over a period
of time?
Did you deliver the goods?
Did you go into that team, thatcommunity, with the intent,
(14:10):
with what you have, to make itbetter?
So that's my determination nowI live with it that wherever I'm
placed at, you've got to makeit better.
Because if you didn't, what wasthe use of your presence being?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
there.
Wow, that was a powerfulnuggets that you just shared
there.
I mean, that's awesome.
So have you faced any kind ofchallenges that you face
engaging with the communitiesand how did you overcome them?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Well, definitely, the challenges are there.
Anytime you step on the fieldof play or the court of play in
life, when you're looking at thesports analogy, you're going to
have the opposition, you'regoing to have the challenges.
And part of my challenge isbecause I like, or I have become
developed to a point, Wanda, towhere I like to drive 90 in a
(14:59):
15.
So part of my challenge is,first of all, with myself.
You got to slow it down becausethe ones that you're going to
they're not driving that fastinitially, they're not moving at
the speed that you're moving at, and so the challenge is with
me personally.
Ok, I got to slow it down, I'vegot to.
(15:21):
I got to work with them at thespeed that they're at in hopes
that they'll come somewhereclose to the speed of my
operation.
So the challenge has beenhelping people step up and
embrace the urgency of now, inlight of the conditions that
(15:41):
exist, that we don't haveforever, when we look at the
state of where our families are,where our men are, where our
men are, where our young boysand young girls are, and so I
hit the scene with y'all we'vegot to move right now.
And they're like what are youtalking about.
We've become so normal in whatis happening where it's normal
(16:03):
and I'm like, no, it's notnormal, this is urgency, yeah.
But when we hear statistics likeI think it's the East Indians—
they are at the top.
Their medium household incomeis like somewhere between
$115,000, $120,000, right, buttheir family togetherness is at
(16:26):
a high of 94%.
Their medium household incomeis like $110,000, and their
family them keeping their familytogether is somewhere in that
80%, I believe.
And then after that are theCaucasians, the whites, where
(16:48):
their medium household income isaround $88,000, and their
family being together is like70%.
And then the Hispanics beingsomewhere like 68, 70,000, and
their family them keeping theirfamily together is ranging
somewhere at the 60%.
But then we in the Blackcommunity, somewhere around
(17:11):
55,000.
But our family the statisticsshow that we're at 34%.
The statistics show that we'reat 34% and unless we do
something different in the next20 years, it's projected that
we'll be down in the teens.
So when I look at and studyconditions like that, I'm
(17:32):
parking in the driveway at 90 inmy mind and I'm having to
engage with people who are at 35or 40.
So the challenge is to helppeople see that we have got to
step to the table that you'vegot to put aside your personal
agenda to a degree to plug intosomething that's larger than
(17:54):
your reality, that when you do,your reality gets better as a
result of you helping thecommunity to get better.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Wow, that you, you laid it down there, I tell you,
you know, and it's really aboutand you can see the different
nationality it's abouttogetherness.
You know how you can worktogether and build yourself up,
build your family up, and thatreally makes a difference.
But you are, you are so rightwith those statistics.
We try to help.
You know our families andfriends to be up there, and I
(18:23):
hear you about the night.
Dennis talks about me all thetime I'm driving at 90.
And he said can you slow down?
I'm trying to get down to this.
You're going to have to catchup.
You're going to have to catchup.
So you know.
But that is so true, that is.
I love how you put that inperspective.
So let's talk about yourpersonal and professional growth
.
What key moments in your lifecontributed to your personal and
(18:45):
professional growth?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Well, it goes back to early in life, you know, living
out in the country we wereliving in these two-story houses
, old two-story houses.
I was mentally embarrassed whenthe school bus would come by to
our house because it was likeyou were at the monster's house,
you know.
(19:09):
And then when we would go tosomebody else's house and pick
them up nice house, neighborhoodI'm like wait a minute,
something's got to be better.
Life has got to be better thanthis.
So this thing went off on theinside of me.
I guess God stirred it to whereI wanted to better myself.
I want to keep getting better.
I want to maximize the lifethat I have in whatever stage or
(19:34):
opportunity that I come to.
I don't want to be scoring fiveor 10 points.
I don't want to be scoring 20points in 2025 when that's what
I did in 24.
So I'm like come on, ellison,you got to get better.
So that drive to get better,wanting to better myself, has
been with me now for a number ofyears and I'm more determined
(19:56):
now than what I've ever been toput points on the board, to
score for humanity, for mycommunity or whatever or whoever
I'm connected to.
So that drive continues nowmore than ever before.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Wow, wow.
You put it there, so I'mtelling you.
I got to have you back on myshow.
So let's talk about health andwellness real quick.
What inspired your focus onhealth and wellness?
And I know you do CMOS, so tellus about what your focus.
What inspired you to actuallyget into that?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Well, again too, wanda, looking at conditions of
people in my own family you knowwhen they would get to a
certain age I'm like wait aminute, I don't want to be like
that.
I don't want to be like that.
I don't want to when I'm in my60s and I'm having to walk with
(20:48):
a cane and in and out of thehospital.
Just looking at humanconditions, I guess it's like
somewhat like when Nehemiahchecked out what was going on
among his people and went backto the king and the king was
like wait a minute, are you okay?
Because Nehemiah had theresponsibility of tasting the
back to the king, and the kingwas like wait a minute, are you
okay?
Because Nehemiah had theresponsibility of tasting the
food for the king.
So when the king saw thatNehemiah's face was dropped, he
was like wait a minute, is foodthat you're eating making you
(21:10):
sad looking or what?
And Nehemiah's response was no,it's the condition of my people
.
So just looking at people'scondition and knowing that we
can have it better and wantingto find a way to get it better
has driven my passion to causepeople starting with myself
(21:30):
first, and here's my tagline topromote our health versus
fighting disease.
Our health versus fightingdisease.
Awesome, say that again.
Yeah, my focus is helpingpeople promote their health,
giving ideas and concepts andinformation that will promote
rebuild our health versus havingto spend the time fighting
(21:54):
disease.
We've been like this for years,and hours of prevention is
worth more than a pound of cure.
So I want to be on thatpromoting versus fighting.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Okay, that's, that's, that's all right.
I love that.
I love how you said that, so,so what legacy do you want you
hope to leave in these areas ofwhat you're doing now?
Wow?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
I want to leave the legacy of stirring people so
passionately, stirring up what'sin them, to where we're
thinking about making thingshappen, not just accepting
things as they are.
I want to stir in a generationof people look, let's get off of
(22:40):
where we're sitting at.
Make things happen so that wecan create new realities.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That's a great way to put that.
I love it.
So, and I was going to ask youabout the most passionate about
the stages of your life now, andyou really kind of pretty much
told us what you wanted to do,right as far as your medicine.
So let's talk about your booksNow.
How many books you got outthere and tell us about your
books?
What people can get in touchwith you and get your books?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Gotcha Got, I think it's 11 that's out there, from
dealing with health to marriage,to men, to motivational books.
We've got, I think, three bookson men, magnifying manhood and
marriage.
I've got two books on health,the Seven-Day Meal Plan and then
(23:30):
the other book, vibrantInsights for Health and Wellness
.
And then, of course, we've gota book out there, where God
Wants to Meet you Next, oh wow,which goes right along with my
book Beyond your Comfort Zones,you know, and so yeah.
(23:51):
So we touch on againmotivational stuff men, marriage
and health in particular.
Those are our focuses andpeople can get copies of the
book.
They'll go to my website atellisonconsultingcom.
Ellison's E-L-L-I-S-O-N-Sconsultingcom.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Okay, you're going to send because I'm going to have
that in my show notes as well,so to get your website.
So you're going to send that tome so I can make sure, when
your podcast come out, all ofthat's in there and also how
they can get in touch with youas well.
So that to you already.
Yeah, yeah, you probably did,I'm sorry.
Yeah, it's been kind of one ofthose weeks here and it's didn't
it just started.
Trust me, I understand.
(24:32):
So what business are you stillin and how does it benefit
society?
So what business are you stillin and how does it benefit
society?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Well, I'm really into developing like never before my
podcast.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Yes, tell us about your podcast.
Is it NextUp podcast?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yes, NextUp N-X-T, NextUp podcast.
It's all about getting peopleto think about what's next.
People to think about what'snext, you know, and as I like to
say, it's a podcast where webring encouragement,
enlightenment, edutainment andempowerment.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Okay, I love it.
We're going to be on yourpodcast.
I'm excited to be on yourpodcast.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
I'm excited about it Next week, I believe it is so
yeah forward to it.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yes, me and my husband Dennis, so we're both
going to be on there.
He's kind of shy, so be gentleon him, be gentle with me.
Okay, okay, I'm used to it.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I'm used to it, I'll get him, I'll pull him out of it
but cool.
So into that Wanda as far asthe Next Up podcast and also
(25:45):
work with an entity where it'sgiven me the opportunity to help
get resources to nations, andthat entity is that company, is
Supernova, to where I'm working,dear God.
Like today we had Uganda at thetable, Tomorrow we're
havingania at the table to helpget resources, electricity,
homes, clean water and gettingnations the opportunity, getting
(26:06):
them to the table ofopportunity.
So those are my major focusesright now being a gateway to
getting resources into nationsto where, like in Nigeria,
there's only 4,000 megawatts ofelectricity in 150 million
(26:27):
country population, only 4,000.
To put it in perspective, let'ssay South Africa has only 60
million people with over 50,000watts.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
So you can see the drastic difference there to
