Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome to a Lot of Help with James Loginias with
two t's a lot and that's my website, a Lot
of help dot com. You're going to check out things
my blog about every day. I'm a nice blog. Every
day I put out my get my thoughts on there.
This is episode special to me because she plays my
on Mike daughter and a show called Tomorrow's a New Day.
It's an audio soap draw. We got to check it
(00:26):
out from them from it's it's it's so good. We
have a good time on it. But that's how I
met her. But she's much more than that, which I love.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Uh. She has an NBA.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Of course, she lives in Arkansas. We guess about that
a little bit too. She has self acclaimed LLC and
her as her coaching, but she also does a lot
of different things. We're gonna talk to her and get to
know her and just talk about some of her philosophies
and the things that we have in common.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Help me. Welcome ya, Hymen himiya, hi.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Thank you so much for having me today. I'm excited
to be here.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
My pleasure.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I expect big things from you. I know they're gonna happen.
They're gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Well, I definitely I don't want to disappoint.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So the thing, one of the things I want to
start out and ask you is growing up.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Did your parents encourage did they support your thoughts and dreams?
How vital or if they were, weren't How vital were
they in your upbringing in terms of where you are today?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Very great question. I grew up primarily with my mom.
My parents were together, then they separated. Then from about
what I remember me from about three to four years
old onward was like me with my mom. Mostly. My
dad was in the Air Force, so he was overseas
in Germany. They always stressed the importance of the portents
(01:59):
of education, you know, doing well in school. They expected
us to make good grades. They expected straight a's, a's
and b's. I'm the youngest of five girls. It's been
in my twin girls. Yes, five girls. My mom had
five girls and the youngest two are me and my twins,
so she got unfortunate on the fourth go round. I
(02:21):
mean I'm happy to be here, of course, of course.
So yes, my parents would always say, you know, you
can go to college as long as we don't have
to pay for it, and being the youngest of five,
we took it very serious. But so they just expected
us to do well in school and just excel, you know,
(02:41):
be doctors or engineers or lawyers, are going to politics
or just anything like that. I mean, on my mom's side,
they definitely allowed us to be a little more expressive
and creative, and they were a little more Lenian, I
don't want to say flexible, just a little more Linian
on their expectations. Of course, we have people in family
who went to college, but not just really went and excelled.
(03:05):
On my dad's side, people who would go to college,
they were a little more into their faith with their
expectations about life and different things like that. But at
the end of the day, they just wanted to excel
and be happy and just as long as we feel
like we're successful. I guess they feel like, you know,
they're happy with our success, but they've always wanted us
(03:26):
to do something in some type of way.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Now I didn't know this is this is my ignorance.
I did.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I know there are black folks in Arkansas, just some
states I don't know much about. I'm from California, folks.
So you got that night and and I've been to
Arkansas once.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Briefly.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I went into Arkansas, but I didn't know so what
was there, what was what was that kind of was
there a black community?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Was there kind of or what was that like for you?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
So I originally am not from Arkansas. I am from Guffport, Mississippi.
So I actually, yes, we got relocated to Arkansas after
Hurricane Katrina. We were celebrating twenty years.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yes, So I actually I did not know much about
Arkansas until FEMA relocated us here. That's when I actually
learned that it was a state. I mean, mind you,
I was younger, so I didn't know all of my states.
But when we moved here, so my mom they relocated
her to Cabot, Arkansas, which was primarily white than like
(04:30):
all white, super white. I want to say, we were
maybe some of the first black people there were just
kind of a sprinkle of us there. Yes, So over
the years, we've definitely seen it become a little more
urban and increased in the black population. There is an
Air Force base not too many miles away, but we've
definitely seen the culture change in cabin has grown. My
(04:52):
dad got stationed to the Air Force base in Jacksonville,
and with him we would be more in the city
and like Little Rock and things in the Central Arkansas area,
there's a good portion of African American people and minorities,
mixed crowd. My dad is from Jamaica, so there's a
nice Caribbean community around here. They do reggae festivals and things.
(05:13):
But like I went to school in southern Arkansas, which
is very rural. Like my school with the Mule Riders,
we have a rodeo arena on the campus, so if
that says anything, And so I went to I met
a lot of people where they were from small towns
in Arkansas and they're like, you're the first one of
some of the first black people that we've met, and
we're not used to being around black people. So I've
(05:37):
definitely met a mixed crowd. But we are here in Arkansas.
You know, we have the rich history of Little Rock,
nod about Central High School where they integrated, you know,
so we have that history. And then there's banging in
the Rock. We're back in the nineties. We're really really bad,
we're gangs. So there's a documentary on that. So there's
(05:57):
a lot of history in mixed culture. Sure when it
comes to Arkansas and what we have and have to offer.
But yeah, we're here, baby, we are here.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Is your twin.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Like you, we have some similar mannerisms. Personality wise, we
are different. I mean we're a great time. We're both
the who and the holler. We are both well, let's
(06:32):
say some ways we are different. Like for the last
five years she's worked from home. Oh okay, I don't
like to work from home. I'm like, I'll work from
home a little bit, but I like to be out
and about in the community. I'm a little more extroverted
than she is. She's a little more into her religion
and her faith than I am. Just different paths that
we've been on in life. I'm a little more when
(06:53):
it comes like our makeup, I'm a little more like
the glamorous chic side. She's a little more urban or
a more natural outset, Like she has locks, like dreading hair.
I don't do that. Like I wear more makeup than
she does. If we go out, I might be a
little more skim beer than she is, but that's I'm
a little more like dramatic with my makeup. I wear
(07:14):
like the boulder longer eyelashes. But we both like to
stay fit. We're both into our business. We both like
to watch movies, have fun. We have some different dietary restrictions.
She has a lot more food sensitivities than I do,
so I'm chiling down on bacon and burgers and pasta
(07:36):
and all things. And she can't eat vanilla. She can't
enjoy chicken anymore, and I love some chicken wings. There
are definitely some difference us in our love life. We
have some differences when it comes to the type of
gods that we seek. I mean, we're both I'll say
I'm single right now. She's kind of is single, more dating,
(07:56):
you know, play in the field. But I mean, if
you get to know us at first, it's hard to
tell us apart, but once you really get to know
us on our personalities, we are very different. Like at
first I might seem a little more mean and stand
offish coming off, and then I'm nicer as you get
to know me, And she's the opposite way. She's very
(08:17):
nice when you first get to know her. I'm not
just going to necessarily say meaner, but more. Her expectations
when it comes to friendship and relationships are just a
little bit higher than some other people. So either like
you meet them or you don't. You know, you're doing
what you're supposed to, but she's not going to give
you much slack. So I'll say.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
That we're talking for the show because we're getting we're
getting to know you a little bit, and we're gonna
get to the business stuff next. But I wonder what
I want to ask you though, is uh, you are
part of your soreer so you're a part of the
sorority culture. What are What are a couple of things
that you that you take away from that culture that
you just love so much. How sorority system, that whole
(09:01):
kind of village. What do you like about it?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I will say, mind you, sorties and fraternities now are
different than with they were founded. Culture, people change and stuff,
but some of the basic principles of giving back to
the community and being involved in your community. You know,
you have to help the people around you and try
to elevate the people around you as well.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
You know, Yes, and.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Sisterhood. I know I have a lot of sisters, but
they really really taught me what it's like to like you.
Even though you have those relationships, you have to nourish
them and build them and pour into them in order
to really receive something back. So just having those people
that you can really talk to and lean on in
different ways because it's hard to ask for help. I
(09:54):
mean for some people it's easier than others, but it
truly can be hard to ask for help, especially from
people closest to you, because you don't want to seem
like you're a bother. Sometimes it's hard to show the
vulnerable side. But really having people there like for no
matter what, no judgment, with the same beliefs as you,
it makes a big difference.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, what advice should you give somebody?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
So if someone says, okay, there's a young another young
African American women's in our community, could be anywhere, what
advice should you get them to they say, I want
to do something for my community.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Where should they start? In your opinion?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I mean every senterary city is different, but just like
in general, won't you tell them if they said, yeah,
which the idea? I don't know how to get started?
Like WHI should I do?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
What you say?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I will say, start with the people around you and
like your home base. If you're really involved with your church,
or you go to church a lot, see what opportunities
that your church has. There are so many things that
different churches are doing nowadays to especially build that community
and help the community around them, whether it's different jobs
or just them doing wellness programs to try to increase
(11:04):
health in their in their guests and stuff that are
coming to the church, or just trying to foster a relationship,
you know, diferent food dribs and stuff. There's little ways
like that. Just going on Facebook and seeing the different
volunteer opportunities, Like you never know the different nonprofits that
are out and about in your community, get involved about
them and see they're always looking for people to come
(11:26):
out and help. So it's easier for you to get
involved when you find something that you're actually interested in.
Like you know, if you have no idea about anything
in the medical field or does it interest you you're
like gaming in arts and crafts, Like, don't go and
try to volunteer at somewhere like you know that's like
a blood bank or anything like that. That's not that's
not going to do you any justice at all. So
(11:48):
find what you're interested in and then go and seek
opportunities that way and just sometimes just asking the people
around you. So people know a lot of things, but
they don't remember until you know, let's ask. We have
a lot of knowledge and stuff that we just sore
in our brain. So just ask and getting informed is
the number one thing.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
No, Actually, everything she said and your this is the
people out there watching, listening, and everything you just said
I agree with. I think start to start in your circle.
What are they doing? Like what I mean, just like
like what do you do for Like there's boys and
girls clubs, there's you know, big brother big sisters, there's
senior assistance centers that need people to come over and
do watching crafts or sing or like there's a music program.
(12:31):
I guess all kind of stuff. So she's you're right
about that. Like who's around you? Like ask cousin so
and so, Like what are you doing on weekends? Like
what's you know, what's going on? Because I'm telling you
in your city, I'm sure wherever you are, they're people
who need help. And I'm I'm such communited person. I'm
always like I was always taught that when I was younger.
It's like wherever you move, somewhere, James, I was told
(12:51):
you gotta find what's going on in there and see,
so now I got jumping a little too much. Sometimes Okay,
I got to time to myself. But it's but it's
but it's always rewarding. It's always kind of a rewarding thing, folks.
And you and you get to meet people and you
learn stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
And you get and they're so they're so fun these days.
There's not the boring, Oh I'm just gonna sit here
at a table and give out information. Sometimes you never
know what you're doing and you just have so much fun.
It's like you forget that you're volunteering. You're literally meeting
people and just doing things and you're just like wow,
(13:26):
like those two three hours with about really really fast.
And so yeah, like you said, start in your circle.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
There are a lot of nonprofits and not for profits,
and like I said, in terms of who sometimes they
need help in their offices. If you like office work,
if you're big, like organized, that they need people to
help them with paperwork, you know stuff, and that's our
filing or whatever. It's like there's always something out there.
So I just I like the advice. I agree with
you one thousand percent on that people should do that.
(13:54):
Let's get saying so we get see your bit. So
you graduate, you have an MBA. Where'd you graduate from?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I graduated from Southern Arkansas University located in Magnolia, Arkansas,
which is where I lived in Southern Arkansas. I received
all three of my degrees from them. So my associates,
my bachelor's and my master's degree. Go on your writers, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Go girl, Okay, I like that.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
You always know you're going to get up to your
masters you always know that.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
No, I did not. I was just one of those people.
I'm like, I'm just gonna go to college. And I
had the wildest dreams when I was younger. I was like, Oh,
I'm gonna I'm gonna own a boarding school, and I'm
gonna own a water park, and at one point I
wanted to be a model. It would all shift and change,
(14:45):
but at the end of the day, I knew I
always wanted to do something with like school more specifically
now higher education. I think I want to go into
that once I like officially retire from whatever I'm like
doing now within the next twenty to thirty years. AnyWho,
another story. So the main reason I received my master's
degree is to go into higher education and to kind
(15:08):
of set myself on that course to be able to
teach and get back into probably student affairs one day.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Doctorate.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
So I know that a doctorate is a lot of work.
I have a couple of friends, including my twin, who
is currently receiving or working on their doctorate right now,
So maybe one day. Right now the answer is no,
But seeing them work hards towards it, I'm like, I mean,
(15:43):
if they can do it, I say, like, they're doing it,
so I know I can do it. It's not if
they can. If I know that they can do it,
so I know that I can do it as well.
But I just I don't even know what I would
want my doctorate to be in at the moment. So
maybe give me a couple more years to get more
seasoned in my career. Are like just what I'm doing
(16:04):
now with my entrepreneurship, and then maybe that will be
the goal. Because once when I got my master's degree,
I started like two and a half weeks after I
finished with my bachelor's degree. It was straight straight in there.
So I've enjoying the little break of not having to
write page papers and homework four times a week.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
No, masters is not nothing to sneeze at. It. That's
really good. I mean, that's really really good. So gradus, I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
A doctorate and I just tell you it's it's kind
of it's kind of something I think about it. I'm
like looking at my thing right and I'm like, it's
kind of Now someone gave me a I don't think
to show what I've come up on here, but it says, oh,
it's gonna say it's it's doctor.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I can't get I can't get up there. But I
got this big mine gon drink out of.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
And people who talked a lot, which I always forget
I am. So I used to be advantage sometimes, but
at some people don't do it just because I'll do
it if it's something you feel like you're compelled to.
You have a subject that you want to get it in.
So just I always to it all the time. But
it's kind of fun to have one. You're said to
your I can see you being doctor Mia Hammond, so hymen,
(17:10):
So I can say it does have a.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Really good ring to it, you know. But I'll let
my twin be like the first one, and then I mean,
we do have a doctor in the family another one
on the medical side. But she's getting her doctorate in
Christian leadership. I want to say it is right.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Great go on girl. Okay, so what are you doing
now in terms of work? Let's talk about that. So
that's a good got We got a little bit of
your little bit of your path, kind of some your
philosophies and the fun stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Now what is so what are you doing for work?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
So right now for my main job, I have taken
the hiatus for so I have worked very hard the
last six years, five years in hospitality, doing everything from
hosting at the restaurant, moving on up to being the
general manager of the hotel. And then after yes and so,
(18:07):
after I left the hotel, I went and worked with
this woman who had two companies, and then I helped
her develop a third company which turned into a brick
and mortar and I was a contract position, which is
why I pretty much started my company. So I was
doing things to her, being the executive director, like going
in and cleaning up, setting up the standard operating procedures,
(18:29):
expenses s, getting systems in place, hr things, doing payroll,
like really the whole shubang for her company. So then
that contract I ended that in June, kind of take
like a little break from working for independently companies and
just that big world. Really wanted to focus on my
(18:51):
own business and get that up and going, because it
took me a while to switch the mindset of being
an employee after I left hospitality, to like, you're an entrepreneur,
you have your own company. Because I used to say, oh,
I work for like Zen. I was like, no, I
work with Zen. I'm a contractor. I'm not an employee
like with benefits and things. So it was a completely
(19:13):
different mindset to have, especially being so young and always
being in the workforce. I just turned thirty this year.
But but oh yeah, it took me a while just
to get out of that mindset. So then I was like,
you know, I really want to focus on my company.
I've had it for a year now. I haven't really
created the brand identity. I don't have a Facebook page
(19:36):
for myself, like I have a domain, but I have
even done my website. So this year my model is
making decisions out of faith and not fear. And I
said that I'm going to work hard for myself like
I work hard for other people. Actually even harder for myself,
like I can't keep hitting myself on the back burner.
(19:57):
So that's what I've been doing for the past to
half months is really setting up my company with the
coaching and consulting, So consulting for business infrastructure, like how
to start your business, how to get your foundations, you know,
operating grand extenter operating procedures, because people will be surprised
how many small and independent business owners are out there
(20:19):
and they don't know anything about their company. They don't
know how to do payroll, they're not looking at their payroll,
they don't know about their franchise taxes, and just the
small stuff and just making sure like hey, I'm good
and I'm great, and then just being a great leader themselves,
because it starts with the head. You can own a company,
you can say you call all the shots, but if
(20:40):
you don't know how to treat your employees with respect,
I mean, I don't know what to tell you. So
that's kind of the coaching part of the business as well,
because I've worked for great companies, but then I've worked
for horrible owners who've had amazing employees, and it's just
like whoa Lloyd? I can just go on and on
(21:03):
about it, but I'm like, it's something that needs to change.
That culture has to change. And with the generations that
coming in, they're not tolerating as much as seasoned employees
and workers in the workforce at the moment who are
basically going to be retiring out. So yeah, so that's
kind of what I've been doing now, is setting myself
up for setting up my company a little more for
(21:25):
my coaching and consulting.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Folks at home. Is you know, it just shows about
kind of coaching and stuff. What she's saying is it's
a it's a it's really important that no matter how
young you are, or for me it was later in life,
how old you are, you can start. And that's and
that it's kind of some points she's bringing up. It's
just to just to for herself. It's game the whole,
(21:49):
you know, they said, gating the brand, identity, getting all
this that stuff can be done. You'll do that, You'll
get all that if you're done. But I think some
of us who have worked in corporate or worked in
I said, for me, retail, how party, Also, we have
so much experience. You have so much experience to bring
with you. You have so much experience that you're bringing
into your own business. That's all the time. So suddenly
(22:10):
like if you could do it, folks work for yourself,
because nowadays folks like hiring somebody for a little bit
of that's not a regular employee. So and plus it
also helps you on some level because you're kinda not
You're you're tied, but not so tied. Like if if
something happens to the company, you'll still survive because you're
(22:31):
on your independently, on your own. You'll be sad if
something happens to them, but you're like, Okay, I'm not
so tied to them that if they go under, I
go under two. Like that's that's what happens when you
work for corporate or work for somebody else. This is you,
this is all you. Now, this is your I think
because I worked for the people as management like you have,
I now get it.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Later.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It's like situations I was out I get one day.
We're so pressed for something because it's yours, it's your
but they're playing with people, are playing with your money.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
It's your.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
This is your business, and you will succeed and fail
or fail. It's on you. So now I get business
owners kind of go, oh, now I get why that
person was so hard on me for this, because I
guess they were seeing it a certain way. They were
so invested. So I'd say, anybody watching this, if you
work for those kind of companies, and when you'll get it,
(23:25):
you'll be like, Okay, now I get it. That's why
it's important for me to do my things the right way.
Who do I work with?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
You? Do?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I see?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Like it's very you start seeing all kind of stuff differently.
As you know, you start seeing it all differently because
you're like, oh, it's about you, meaning me, it's your business,
not about you. It's about your business.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Careful. Someone claim to say it's been so so.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
So you offer coaching opportunities for people who are just
like I want to start a business out the words start,
or I have an idea for a business, I don't
know where it starts. That's basically that's basically what you're
here to help them achieve point A to point B,
so to speak.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Yeah, kind of help their dream come to fruition, because
that's the that's the thing. A lot of people like
I have this idea, but I have no idea where
to start, or they'll go to places for help, and
then sometimes it's they're not given real help while they're
scamming them out of things. So I'm here to hold
your hand and I'm not here to just give you
all the answers like you need to do this, you
(24:25):
need to do that because it's your company, your business
at the end of the day. So I can want
to consult you. I'm going to tell you different avenues,
different choices that you can make of your different options
that are out there. You know, I'm not just like
endorsed by shop of Fyle, so everything has to be
Shopify or whatever. You know, go Daddy might work better
for you, and it may work better with your budget.
(24:45):
You know, people start off in different places. It's I mean,
it's it's you have to spend money to make money.
It starts you have to have a little something in
order to start a business. So I definitely get it.
I understand. And some people can afford to spend five
thousand dollars on the website. Some people can only spend
afford to spend fifteen hundred dollars on the website. But
(25:07):
then another part of that is also being realistic and
being honest and transparent throughout the whole process to let
you know, had this costs a little more than what
you are expecting. Are this is what you want, you
can't quite, that's not quite in your budget. This is
what you need, So let's start there and then work
our way up from that. You know, Rome was not
(25:28):
built in one day. You don't have to do everything
all at one time. You know, your company's realistically not
gonna start making fifty thousand dollars in one month. It
happens to some people that's fantastic, but honestly and realistically,
that's not how it's going to go. So and then
with the different technology these days, oh my goodness, it
(25:49):
confuses a lot of people. So yeah, really just helping
you hold your hand to go through that processes and
no matter when he started, we can definitely get it
done and get it done in a feasible way and
in a good timely manner, but then also at your pace.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
So well, those searches are needed because I know people
who have come to me and they totally need it. Uh, well,
you just don't the way to be at or they
don't have they don't know they because we can tell them,
make sure you look out for this, so I think
you can have them avoid mistakes that you know that
you made, or if you have made, you say, oh no,
I know this happened, so make you you know it's good. So, folks,
(26:25):
I'm saying, if you need somebody to kind of guide
you along, she is somebody who can count on, especially if.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
You're in Arkansas.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I'm sure you want more entrepreneurial businesses in central Arkansas, right,
we want.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
More yes, yes, for sure, and listen, just you know,
don't be afraid to ask for help and get informed.
No one expects you to know all of the answers,
especially starting off, but it's nice to have someone who
will not just do it for you, but also explain
the process and stuff for you. Because I want you
to girl, I want you to learn, like I can
help you out with your first LLC and then maybe
(26:59):
you won't need me for your second one. And that's okay.
I want to clap for you because I love it.
That's what I want to see. I want you all
to be educated as well, because we don't want anyone
taking advantage of you and starting a company. There's a
lot of time, buddy, sweat and tears that go into it.
So you know, if you do it right the first time,
you all have to keep doing it over and over again.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
That's real endings. So that's that's a good ending. So
it's called Self Acclaimed LLC. She's also on instagrams. Man,
we are that may say LinkedIn. She's on LinkedIn and that.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Mia and heymen, Mia, yes, Mia en hymen, man.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
You check her out there. We want to see what's
going on with her. We're going to work with her
or have her come speak somewhere for you to maybe
speak to some groups things that she's here for hire.
He's here, she's here to collaborate.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
She is absolutely elaborate.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Thank you, missmir for being honest. You you have to
come back. We have to come back later and come
back down the ride in the line.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Okay, I will definitely love to come back. Bring me
back in like six months or years to see where
I've been in everything that I've done. A little progress
report because I love it. And you know we're going
to be friends forever and ever and ever. I love
you so much.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
You can't get rid of me.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
You're my adopted daughter now, so you just can't get
can't get rid of me. I'm always I'm always cheering
you off a far you know that, so you'll always
chere you on, folks. This is the next generation. As
I'm telling you, folks, I love this. I'm twice her
age and and it's just and these and these talks
are important. And that's that's kind of point. Look at her,
look at me. We're living our dreams or going towards
(28:37):
our dreams, or going towards our goals. It doesn't matter
if you have one, whatever it is, we're both saying,
go for it. And then but don't be afraid to
ask for help. And coaches are great for that. They're
great to help you flesh things out. But you think
of things we may not have thought of, you know,
bring up I bring up things that you don't even
know about. So that's why I looked at this placast.
(28:57):
I've been a life coach in several areas for the
last fourteen years. So now I shout out to Coach
Training Alliance. You gave my coach training and I have
clients and I'm watching them grow and that's and it's
just it's just a it's a whateerful. The inst podcast

Of course, she lives in Arkansas. We guess about that
a little bit too. She has self acclaimed LLC and

of different things. We're gonna talk to her and get to
know her and just talk about some of her philosophies
and the things that we have in common.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Help me. Welcome ya, Hymen himiya, hi.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Thank you so much for having me today. I'm excited
to be here.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
My pleasure.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I expect big things from you. I know they're gonna happen.
They're gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Well, I definitely I don't want to disappoint.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So the thing, one of the things I want to
start out and ask you is growing up.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Did your parents encourage did they support your thoughts and dreams?
How vital or if they were, weren't How vital were
they in your upbringing in terms of where you are today?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Very great question. I grew up primarily with my mom.
My parents were together, then they separated. Then from about
what I remember me from about three to four years
old onward was like me with my mom. Mostly. My
dad was in the Air Force, so he was overseas
in Germany. They always stressed the importance of the portents
(01:59):
of education, you know, doing well in school. They expected
us to make good grades. They expected straight a's, a's
and b's. I'm the youngest of five girls. It's been
in my twin girls. Yes, five girls. My mom had
five girls and the youngest two are me and my twins,
so she got unfortunate on the fourth go round. I
(02:21):
mean I'm happy to be here, of course, of course.
So yes, my parents would always say, you know, you
can go to college as long as we don't have
to pay for it, and being the youngest of five,
we took it very serious. But so they just expected
us to do well in school and just excel, you know,
(02:41):
be doctors or engineers or lawyers, are going to politics
or just anything like that. I mean, on my mom's side,
they definitely allowed us to be a little more expressive
and creative, and they were a little more Lenian, I
don't want to say flexible, just a little more Linian
on their expectations. Of course, we have people in family
who went to college, but not just really went and excelled.
(03:05):
On my dad's side, people who would go to college,
they were a little more into their faith with their
expectations about life and different things like that. But at
the end of the day, they just wanted to excel
and be happy and just as long as we feel
like we're successful. I guess they feel like, you know,
they're happy with our success, but they've always wanted us
(03:26):
to do something in some type of way.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Now I didn't know this is this is my ignorance.
I did.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I know there are black folks in Arkansas, just some
states I don't know much about. I'm from California, folks.
So you got that night and and I've been to
Arkansas once.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Briefly.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I went into Arkansas, but I didn't know so what
was there, what was what was that kind of was
there a black community?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Was there kind of or what was that like for you?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
So I originally am not from Arkansas. I am from Guffport, Mississippi.
So I actually, yes, we got relocated to Arkansas after
Hurricane Katrina. We were celebrating twenty years.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yes, So I actually I did not know much about
Arkansas until FEMA relocated us here. That's when I actually
learned that it was a state. I mean, mind you,
I was younger, so I didn't know all of my states.
But when we moved here, so my mom they relocated
her to Cabot, Arkansas, which was primarily white than like
(04:30):
all white, super white. I want to say, we were
maybe some of the first black people there were just
kind of a sprinkle of us there. Yes, So over
the years, we've definitely seen it become a little more
urban and increased in the black population. There is an
Air Force base not too many miles away, but we've
definitely seen the culture change in cabin has grown. My
(04:52):
dad got stationed to the Air Force base in Jacksonville,
and with him we would be more in the city
and like Little Rock and things in the Central Arkansas area,
there's a good portion of African American people and minorities,
mixed crowd. My dad is from Jamaica, so there's a
nice Caribbean community around here. They do reggae festivals and things.
(05:13):
But like I went to school in southern Arkansas, which
is very rural. Like my school with the Mule Riders,
we have a rodeo arena on the campus, so if
that says anything, And so I went to I met
a lot of people where they were from small towns
in Arkansas and they're like, you're the first one of
some of the first black people that we've met, and
we're not used to being around black people. So I've
(05:37):
definitely met a mixed crowd. But we are here in Arkansas.
You know, we have the rich history of Little Rock,
nod about Central High School where they integrated, you know,
so we have that history. And then there's banging in
the Rock. We're back in the nineties. We're really really bad,
we're gangs. So there's a documentary on that. So there's
(05:57):
a lot of history in mixed culture. Sure when it
comes to Arkansas and what we have and have to offer.
But yeah, we're here, baby, we are here.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Is your twin.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Like you, we have some similar mannerisms. Personality wise, we
are different. I mean we're a great time. We're both
the who and the holler. We are both well, let's
(06:32):
say some ways we are different. Like for the last
five years she's worked from home. Oh okay, I don't
like to work from home. I'm like, I'll work from
home a little bit, but I like to be out
and about in the community. I'm a little more extroverted
than she is. She's a little more into her religion
and her faith than I am. Just different paths that
we've been on in life. I'm a little more when
(06:53):
it comes like our makeup, I'm a little more like
the glamorous chic side. She's a little more urban or
a more natural outset, Like she has locks, like dreading hair.
I don't do that. Like I wear more makeup than
she does. If we go out, I might be a
little more skim beer than she is, but that's I'm
a little more like dramatic with my makeup. I wear
(07:14):
like the boulder longer eyelashes. But we both like to
stay fit. We're both into our business. We both like
to watch movies, have fun. We have some different dietary restrictions.
She has a lot more food sensitivities than I do,
so I'm chiling down on bacon and burgers and pasta
(07:36):
and all things. And she can't eat vanilla. She can't
enjoy chicken anymore, and I love some chicken wings. There
are definitely some difference us in our love life. We
have some differences when it comes to the type of
gods that we seek. I mean, we're both I'll say
I'm single right now. She's kind of is single, more dating,
(07:56):
you know, play in the field. But I mean, if
you get to know us at first, it's hard to
tell us apart, but once you really get to know
us on our personalities, we are very different. Like at
first I might seem a little more mean and stand
offish coming off, and then I'm nicer as you get
to know me, And she's the opposite way. She's very
(08:17):
nice when you first get to know her. I'm not
just going to necessarily say meaner, but more. Her expectations
when it comes to friendship and relationships are just a
little bit higher than some other people. So either like
you meet them or you don't. You know, you're doing
what you're supposed to, but she's not going to give
you much slack. So I'll say.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
That we're talking for the show because we're getting we're
getting to know you a little bit, and we're gonna
get to the business stuff next. But I wonder what
I want to ask you though, is uh, you are
part of your soreer so you're a part of the
sorority culture. What are What are a couple of things
that you that you take away from that culture that
you just love so much. How sorority system, that whole
(09:01):
kind of village. What do you like about it?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I will say, mind you, sorties and fraternities now are
different than with they were founded. Culture, people change and stuff,
but some of the basic principles of giving back to
the community and being involved in your community. You know,
you have to help the people around you and try
to elevate the people around you as well.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
You know, Yes, and.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Sisterhood. I know I have a lot of sisters, but
they really really taught me what it's like to like you.
Even though you have those relationships, you have to nourish
them and build them and pour into them in order
to really receive something back. So just having those people
that you can really talk to and lean on in
different ways because it's hard to ask for help. I
(09:54):
mean for some people it's easier than others, but it
truly can be hard to ask for help, especially from
people closest to you, because you don't want to seem
like you're a bother. Sometimes it's hard to show the
vulnerable side. But really having people there like for no
matter what, no judgment, with the same beliefs as you,
it makes a big difference.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, what advice should you give somebody?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
So if someone says, okay, there's a young another young
African American women's in our community, could be anywhere, what
advice should you get them to they say, I want
to do something for my community.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Where should they start? In your opinion?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I mean every senterary city is different, but just like
in general, won't you tell them if they said, yeah,
which the idea? I don't know how to get started?
Like WHI should I do?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
What you say?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I will say, start with the people around you and
like your home base. If you're really involved with your church,
or you go to church a lot, see what opportunities
that your church has. There are so many things that
different churches are doing nowadays to especially build that community
and help the community around them, whether it's different jobs
or just them doing wellness programs to try to increase
(11:04):
health in their in their guests and stuff that are
coming to the church, or just trying to foster a relationship,
you know, diferent food dribs and stuff. There's little ways
like that. Just going on Facebook and seeing the different
volunteer opportunities, Like you never know the different nonprofits that
are out and about in your community, get involved about
them and see they're always looking for people to come
(11:26):
out and help. So it's easier for you to get
involved when you find something that you're actually interested in.
Like you know, if you have no idea about anything
in the medical field or does it interest you you're
like gaming in arts and crafts, Like, don't go and
try to volunteer at somewhere like you know that's like
a blood bank or anything like that. That's not that's
not going to do you any justice at all. So
(11:48):
find what you're interested in and then go and seek
opportunities that way and just sometimes just asking the people
around you. So people know a lot of things, but
they don't remember until you know, let's ask. We have
a lot of knowledge and stuff that we just sore
in our brain. So just ask and getting informed is
the number one thing.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
No, Actually, everything she said and your this is the
people out there watching, listening, and everything you just said
I agree with. I think start to start in your circle.
What are they doing? Like what I mean, just like
like what do you do for Like there's boys and
girls clubs, there's you know, big brother big sisters, there's
senior assistance centers that need people to come over and
do watching crafts or sing or like there's a music program.
(12:31):
I guess all kind of stuff. So she's you're right
about that. Like who's around you? Like ask cousin so
and so, Like what are you doing on weekends? Like
what's you know, what's going on? Because I'm telling you
in your city, I'm sure wherever you are, they're people
who need help. And I'm I'm such communited person. I'm
always like I was always taught that when I was younger.
It's like wherever you move, somewhere, James, I was told
(12:51):
you gotta find what's going on in there and see,
so now I got jumping a little too much. Sometimes Okay,
I got to time to myself. But it's but it's
but it's always rewarding. It's always kind of a rewarding thing, folks.
And you and you get to meet people and you
learn stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
And you get and they're so they're so fun these days.
There's not the boring, Oh I'm just gonna sit here
at a table and give out information. Sometimes you never
know what you're doing and you just have so much fun.
It's like you forget that you're volunteering. You're literally meeting
people and just doing things and you're just like wow,
(13:26):
like those two three hours with about really really fast.
And so yeah, like you said, start in your circle.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
There are a lot of nonprofits and not for profits,
and like I said, in terms of who sometimes they
need help in their offices. If you like office work,
if you're big, like organized, that they need people to
help them with paperwork, you know stuff, and that's our
filing or whatever. It's like there's always something out there.
So I just I like the advice. I agree with
you one thousand percent on that people should do that.
(13:54):
Let's get saying so we get see your bit. So
you graduate, you have an MBA. Where'd you graduate from?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I graduated from Southern Arkansas University located in Magnolia, Arkansas,
which is where I lived in Southern Arkansas. I received
all three of my degrees from them. So my associates,
my bachelor's and my master's degree. Go on your writers, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Go girl, Okay, I like that.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
You always know you're going to get up to your
masters you always know that.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
No, I did not. I was just one of those people.
I'm like, I'm just gonna go to college. And I
had the wildest dreams when I was younger. I was like, Oh,
I'm gonna I'm gonna own a boarding school, and I'm
gonna own a water park, and at one point I
wanted to be a model. It would all shift and change,
(14:45):
but at the end of the day, I knew I
always wanted to do something with like school more specifically
now higher education. I think I want to go into
that once I like officially retire from whatever I'm like
doing now within the next twenty to thirty years. AnyWho,
another story. So the main reason I received my master's
degree is to go into higher education and to kind
(15:08):
of set myself on that course to be able to
teach and get back into probably student affairs one day.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Doctorate.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
So I know that a doctorate is a lot of work.
I have a couple of friends, including my twin, who
is currently receiving or working on their doctorate right now,
So maybe one day. Right now the answer is no,
But seeing them work hards towards it, I'm like, I mean,
(15:43):
if they can do it, I say, like, they're doing it,
so I know I can do it. It's not if
they can. If I know that they can do it,
so I know that I can do it as well.
But I just I don't even know what I would
want my doctorate to be in at the moment. So
maybe give me a couple more years to get more
seasoned in my career. Are like just what I'm doing
(16:04):
now with my entrepreneurship, and then maybe that will be
the goal. Because once when I got my master's degree,
I started like two and a half weeks after I
finished with my bachelor's degree. It was straight straight in there.
So I've enjoying the little break of not having to
write page papers and homework four times a week.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
No, masters is not nothing to sneeze at. It. That's
really good. I mean, that's really really good. So gradus, I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
A doctorate and I just tell you it's it's kind
of it's kind of something I think about it. I'm
like looking at my thing right and I'm like, it's
kind of Now someone gave me a I don't think
to show what I've come up on here, but it says, oh,
it's gonna say it's it's doctor.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I can't get I can't get up there. But I
got this big mine gon drink out of.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
And people who talked a lot, which I always forget
I am. So I used to be advantage sometimes, but
at some people don't do it just because I'll do
it if it's something you feel like you're compelled to.
You have a subject that you want to get it in.
So just I always to it all the time. But
it's kind of fun to have one. You're said to
your I can see you being doctor Mia Hammond, so hymen,
(17:10):
So I can say it does have a.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Really good ring to it, you know. But I'll let
my twin be like the first one, and then I mean,
we do have a doctor in the family another one
on the medical side. But she's getting her doctorate in
Christian leadership. I want to say it is right.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Great go on girl. Okay, so what are you doing
now in terms of work? Let's talk about that. So
that's a good got We got a little bit of
your little bit of your path, kind of some your
philosophies and the fun stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Now what is so what are you doing for work?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
So right now for my main job, I have taken
the hiatus for so I have worked very hard the
last six years, five years in hospitality, doing everything from
hosting at the restaurant, moving on up to being the
general manager of the hotel. And then after yes and so,
(18:07):
after I left the hotel, I went and worked with
this woman who had two companies, and then I helped
her develop a third company which turned into a brick
and mortar and I was a contract position, which is
why I pretty much started my company. So I was
doing things to her, being the executive director, like going
in and cleaning up, setting up the standard operating procedures,
(18:29):
expenses s, getting systems in place, hr things, doing payroll,
like really the whole shubang for her company. So then
that contract I ended that in June, kind of take
like a little break from working for independently companies and
just that big world. Really wanted to focus on my
(18:51):
own business and get that up and going, because it
took me a while to switch the mindset of being
an employee after I left hospitality, to like, you're an entrepreneur,
you have your own company. Because I used to say, oh,
I work for like Zen. I was like, no, I
work with Zen. I'm a contractor. I'm not an employee
like with benefits and things. So it was a completely
(19:13):
different mindset to have, especially being so young and always
being in the workforce. I just turned thirty this year.
But but oh yeah, it took me a while just
to get out of that mindset. So then I was like,
you know, I really want to focus on my company.
I've had it for a year now. I haven't really
created the brand identity. I don't have a Facebook page
(19:36):
for myself, like I have a domain, but I have
even done my website. So this year my model is
making decisions out of faith and not fear. And I
said that I'm going to work hard for myself like
I work hard for other people. Actually even harder for myself,
like I can't keep hitting myself on the back burner.
(19:57):
So that's what I've been doing for the past to
half months is really setting up my company with the
coaching and consulting, So consulting for business infrastructure, like how
to start your business, how to get your foundations, you know,
operating grand extenter operating procedures, because people will be surprised
how many small and independent business owners are out there
(20:19):
and they don't know anything about their company. They don't
know how to do payroll, they're not looking at their payroll,
they don't know about their franchise taxes, and just the
small stuff and just making sure like hey, I'm good
and I'm great, and then just being a great leader themselves,
because it starts with the head. You can own a company,
you can say you call all the shots, but if
(20:40):
you don't know how to treat your employees with respect,
I mean, I don't know what to tell you. So
that's kind of the coaching part of the business as well,
because I've worked for great companies, but then I've worked
for horrible owners who've had amazing employees, and it's just
like whoa Lloyd? I can just go on and on
(21:03):
about it, but I'm like, it's something that needs to change.
That culture has to change. And with the generations that
coming in, they're not tolerating as much as seasoned employees
and workers in the workforce at the moment who are
basically going to be retiring out. So yeah, so that's
kind of what I've been doing now, is setting myself
up for setting up my company a little more for
(21:25):
my coaching and consulting.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Folks at home. Is you know, it just shows about
kind of coaching and stuff. What she's saying is it's
a it's a it's really important that no matter how
young you are, or for me it was later in life,
how old you are, you can start. And that's and
that it's kind of some points she's bringing up. It's
just to just to for herself. It's game the whole,
(21:49):
you know, they said, gating the brand, identity, getting all
this that stuff can be done. You'll do that, You'll
get all that if you're done. But I think some
of us who have worked in corporate or worked in
I said, for me, retail, how party, Also, we have
so much experience. You have so much experience to bring
with you. You have so much experience that you're bringing
into your own business. That's all the time. So suddenly
(22:10):
like if you could do it, folks work for yourself,
because nowadays folks like hiring somebody for a little bit
of that's not a regular employee. So and plus it
also helps you on some level because you're kinda not
You're you're tied, but not so tied. Like if if
something happens to the company, you'll still survive because you're
(22:31):
on your independently, on your own. You'll be sad if
something happens to them, but you're like, Okay, I'm not
so tied to them that if they go under, I
go under two. Like that's that's what happens when you
work for corporate or work for somebody else. This is you,
this is all you. Now, this is your I think
because I worked for the people as management like you have,
I now get it.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Later.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It's like situations I was out I get one day.
We're so pressed for something because it's yours, it's your
but they're playing with people, are playing with your money.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
It's your.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
This is your business, and you will succeed and fail
or fail. It's on you. So now I get business
owners kind of go, oh, now I get why that
person was so hard on me for this, because I
guess they were seeing it a certain way. They were
so invested. So I'd say, anybody watching this, if you
work for those kind of companies, and when you'll get it,
(23:25):
you'll be like, Okay, now I get it. That's why
it's important for me to do my things the right way.
Who do I work with?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
You? Do?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I see?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Like it's very you start seeing all kind of stuff differently.
As you know, you start seeing it all differently because
you're like, oh, it's about you, meaning me, it's your business,
not about you. It's about your business.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Careful. Someone claim to say it's been so so.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
So you offer coaching opportunities for people who are just
like I want to start a business out the words start,
or I have an idea for a business, I don't
know where it starts. That's basically that's basically what you're
here to help them achieve point A to point B,
so to speak.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Yeah, kind of help their dream come to fruition, because
that's the that's the thing. A lot of people like
I have this idea, but I have no idea where
to start, or they'll go to places for help, and
then sometimes it's they're not given real help while they're
scamming them out of things. So I'm here to hold
your hand and I'm not here to just give you
all the answers like you need to do this, you
(24:25):
need to do that because it's your company, your business
at the end of the day. So I can want
to consult you. I'm going to tell you different avenues,
different choices that you can make of your different options
that are out there. You know, I'm not just like
endorsed by shop of Fyle, so everything has to be
Shopify or whatever. You know, go Daddy might work better
for you, and it may work better with your budget.
(24:45):
You know, people start off in different places. It's I mean,
it's it's you have to spend money to make money.
It starts you have to have a little something in
order to start a business. So I definitely get it.
I understand. And some people can afford to spend five
thousand dollars on the website. Some people can only spend
afford to spend fifteen hundred dollars on the website. But
(25:07):
then another part of that is also being realistic and
being honest and transparent throughout the whole process to let
you know, had this costs a little more than what
you are expecting. Are this is what you want, you
can't quite, that's not quite in your budget. This is
what you need, So let's start there and then work
our way up from that. You know, Rome was not
(25:28):
built in one day. You don't have to do everything
all at one time. You know, your company's realistically not
gonna start making fifty thousand dollars in one month. It
happens to some people that's fantastic, but honestly and realistically,
that's not how it's going to go. So and then
with the different technology these days, oh my goodness, it
(25:49):
confuses a lot of people. So yeah, really just helping
you hold your hand to go through that processes and
no matter when he started, we can definitely get it
done and get it done in a feasible way and
in a good timely manner, but then also at your pace.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
So well, those searches are needed because I know people
who have come to me and they totally need it. Uh, well,
you just don't the way to be at or they
don't have they don't know they because we can tell them,
make sure you look out for this, so I think
you can have them avoid mistakes that you know that
you made, or if you have made, you say, oh no,
I know this happened, so make you you know it's good. So, folks,
(26:25):
I'm saying, if you need somebody to kind of guide
you along, she is somebody who can count on, especially if.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
You're in Arkansas.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I'm sure you want more entrepreneurial businesses in central Arkansas, right,
we want.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
More yes, yes, for sure, and listen, just you know,
don't be afraid to ask for help and get informed.
No one expects you to know all of the answers,
especially starting off, but it's nice to have someone who
will not just do it for you, but also explain
the process and stuff for you. Because I want you
to girl, I want you to learn, like I can
help you out with your first LLC and then maybe
(26:59):
you won't need me for your second one. And that's okay.
I want to clap for you because I love it.
That's what I want to see. I want you all
to be educated as well, because we don't want anyone
taking advantage of you and starting a company. There's a
lot of time, buddy, sweat and tears that go into it.
So you know, if you do it right the first time,
you all have to keep doing it over and over again.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
That's real endings. So that's that's a good ending. So
it's called Self Acclaimed LLC. She's also on instagrams. Man,
we are that may say LinkedIn. She's on LinkedIn and that.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Mia and heymen, Mia, yes, Mia en hymen, man.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
You check her out there. We want to see what's
going on with her. We're going to work with her
or have her come speak somewhere for you to maybe
speak to some groups things that she's here for hire.
He's here, she's here to collaborate.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
She is absolutely elaborate.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Thank you, missmir for being honest. You you have to
come back. We have to come back later and come
back down the ride in the line.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Okay, I will definitely love to come back. Bring me
back in like six months or years to see where
I've been in everything that I've done. A little progress
report because I love it. And you know we're going
to be friends forever and ever and ever. I love
you so much.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
You can't get rid of me.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
You're my adopted daughter now, so you just can't get
can't get rid of me. I'm always I'm always cheering
you off a far you know that, so you'll always
chere you on, folks. This is the next generation. As
I'm telling you, folks, I love this. I'm twice her
age and and it's just and these and these talks
are important. And that's that's kind of point. Look at her,
look at me. We're living our dreams or going towards
(28:37):
our dreams, or going towards our goals. It doesn't matter
if you have one, whatever it is, we're both saying,
go for it. And then but don't be afraid to
ask for help. And coaches are great for that. They're
great to help you flesh things out. But you think
of things we may not have thought of, you know,
bring up I bring up things that you don't even
know about. So that's why I looked at this placast.
(28:57):
I've been a life coach in several areas for the
last fourteen years. So now I shout out to Coach
Training Alliance. You gave my coach training and I have
clients and I'm watching them grow and that's and it's
just it's just a it's a whateerful. The inst podcast
