Speaker 5 (02:42):
Now I'm Mistay everyone.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Welcome to episode what is this eighty three of Maya
My Ambition, Your Ambition? The podcast that I like to say,
looks at embracing mental wellness from a fresh and forward
thinking perspective.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
We know how taboo it can be.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
I like to focus on the casts that can pull
back a veil of self doubt and sabotage that plagues
so many of us in our everyday life.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
And the key thing is here.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
To help you to identify the ambitions and to help
you harness that motivation to be successful in every aspect
of your life you seek to be. So, if you
are a first time listener reviewer, it's okay. I just
like to say buckle up for safety because occasionally it
can be an unexpected bumpy ride because something that might
be said that makes you say hmm, And that's okay.

(03:30):
And of course you're a returning listener reviewer, welcome back.
You know how we do things here. Man. You it's
Monday at two o'clock, so you might just be listening
in and that's all good.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
I'm totally great with that.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
I always say, if you can grab pencil papers, you
can jot down maybe something that has been said so
you can come back and revisit it later. This is
the fifteenth installment of the Ambition Show, and up until
this point, I have had fourteen like amazing guests. Can
I just absolutely tell you this And it doesn't stop today.

(04:00):
It only gets better as we're kind of closing up
the year with.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
All of my guests. So in this episode, this guest
is amazing.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
But I always tell people don't fret because if you
happen to have missed any of the past episodes, it's okay.
I always encourage people to subscribe and share my YouTube
page Maya speaks to you, because then you'll be notified
when new.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
Episodes are posted.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Of course, you can always find episodes on iTunes, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio,
Amazon Audibles. I always tell people pretty much, if it's
a podcast platform, you can find me there to search
Maya my ambition, your ambition. Of course, I always ask
people get social with me. I finally got it together
and have all of my social media platforms on one
handle at Maya speaks to you, so it makes you

(04:41):
a little bit easier to find me. And of course
you can always find everything Maya on my website mayadasspeaks
dot com. The podcast link is there, and I have
two aspects of it that I really love. I have
the Inspirational blog, where on Wednesdays, just one post a
week I share something that I want you to really
chew on and think about.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
This week's post is about the idea of peace.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
I want people to step away from the idea of
saying rest in peace. You hear people now saying things
like get people their flowers where they're alive. Well, the
thing is, I want you to think about living.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
In peace while you're here and not peace while you're gone.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
It's a very powerful thing that I'm working on and
I hope you'll enjoy the post. But the other piece
to it is I have me on pause, and you
should know that's my menopause blog. I am so passionate
about my menopause blog because I am the poster child
for menopause. Of the sixty known symptoms, Yes you heard
what I just said, sixty known symptoms that are related
to menopause. Most women don't know that I probably have

(05:37):
had at least twenty of them. So if you're scratching
your head and going there's sixty some symptoms that could
be related to going through that hormonal change, Yes there is.
So my meon Pause blog likes to tackle some of
those those different things that you don't.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Know and share.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
So someone said something that was interesting as I had
my last guest on who happened to be jas an
artists who will talk about in the moment. You know,
he's married and his wife is in within that window,
and I just kind of said to myself, you know,
I always pushed the blog for women to log on
and to learn new things about how, for instance, suppression, anxiety, irritability,
brain fog can.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
Be heavy during the change.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Most people don't talk about that mental health perspective, and
that's what started me to doing it. I came to
realize that, well, why wouldn't I not tell men to
also check out the blog, so when your wife might
be extremely irritable with you or having a moment, you'll
have a better idea why she might be feeling that way.
So I'm also going to encourage the fellas to check
out the blog too. But what that all being said

(06:32):
and done, I always say the easiest thing to do. Now,
I finally got it together and I actually have an
app that I wasn't doing, like a really good job
we're promoting. I have to own this, guys, because I
wear a lot of hats when I do things. And
so you can always get the Maya Experience app, and
this is fantastic. It's everything Maya on the go, so
pretty much everything from podcasts to watch you can go

(06:53):
back and listen. The blogs are accessible through my app
as well. Everything Maya is right there. So I made
it easy where you can go ahead and scan the
QR codes and I'll take you right to downloading. So
if you have an Apple phone, obviously you go to
the Apple Store and Amazon is for all of my
Android users, and I would tell you that would be
the easiest way, without a doubt, to actually connect with

(07:15):
the show. With that being said, before we jump into
our next guest, one of the things that I definitely
have to share with you is my last guest was
super powerful and a lot of people really were like
he said some stuff that just kind of blew my mind.
So if you didn't get a chance to check out
the episode we had on Saturday with Jason Artists, I'm

(07:35):
going to tell you something you missed, a really powerful
conversation with someone who is teaching leadership through music. And
I know a lot of people kind of think, wow,
I can't imagine what that would be.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
But his creative energy has taken him global.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
But he helps aspiring artists to understand business that can
be very, very cumbersome and not easy to navigate. He
has something called A and R in a pocket that
can take all of these tools that you knew if
you want to be an aspiring artist to get to
that point. So I would definitely tell you that you
would want to check out that episode with Jasin. Fantastic episode,

(08:08):
but without further ado, my next guest, I am so
absolutely excited about it because I love anybody who can
put on the table empowerment, especially for women, and this
next guest, Letitia Pearson, is just that and vinso she's
she's an aspiring author, She's a savvy businesswoman, you know

(08:29):
she is. Her background is the essence of what hustle
looks like. But it's when you take that passion purpose.
I'm gonna say hers is just that ambition she's like
legitimate hustle and when you pull it together what it
comes into. So she's all that, but she's also a
reality TV personality and her idea to me is fantastic.
And we'll jump in that a bit, but without further ado,

(08:51):
let's bring to the ambition stage Letitia Pearson. Hello, Letitia,
how are you y?

Speaker 6 (08:57):
How are you? Try?

Speaker 3 (09:00):
So?

Speaker 6 (09:00):
I got a little tickle in my throat. Thank you
so much for having me.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
You look at me what you know what?

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Now I'm feeling flattered because I'm having the worst hair
day ever.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
But okay, amazing, so to you.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
And because I am like now like a legitimate fan
of the Bell Collective.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
Yay, guys, we're going.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
To jump into And anybody who knows me Letitia knows
that I'm like not like necessarily like a big reality
TV person But when I tell you, when you can
get me locked into something like this, you're doing something
good because.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
I am it's just so not me and it's so unique.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
But before we jump into the Bell Collective, because there's
a lot to talk about, and I know you guys
are in season six right now. I think people need
to understand why that show is so powerful and it
is because of you, and mind you, when I bring
people on, I don't just say things to like fluff
you up and make you feel good. You are legitimately
the reason that that show, to me is so successful
because you're about women empowerment.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
You're a about sisterhood.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
And I'm gonna say this, you have the patience of
a saint to be friends and.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
To work with all those women.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
So tell us, who is Letisha Pearson coming out of Jackson, Mississippi.

Speaker 6 (10:13):
Oh, you're so sweet. Yes, this is me. I like
to say, this is me, This is me. I'm from
a small town in Mississippi called Pelahatchea, Mississippi, about fifteen
hundred people. They're born and like born and raised here
of course in Mississippi. And I'm just a girl out here,
like really walking in purpose, you know, just loving people,
loving on people, meeting people where there are, being unapologetically myself.

(10:37):
And that's just it.

Speaker 5 (10:40):
That's not just saying that she just said. Is that's
not all?

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Because you do so much because sides the fact that you,
I feel like you are a good example and one
of the reasons that I started to do the ambition
shows outside of just doing my podcast is because a
lot of people just sometimes don't buy into that adversity
can be hard, but you can push through it and
you can still achieve what you're looking to do. So
I start to come across people who took their passion

(11:03):
and their purpose and they pushed it forward with their
ambition and motivation. But almost every single one of those
people actually came from a spot of adversity.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
It wasn't something that was easy for them to put together.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
So tell us a bit about what kind of brought
to the table for you the women's brunch, because I
feel like that is such an amazing and powerful thing
that you do with women to help them to connect
and to begin to embrace sisterhood.

Speaker 6 (11:27):
Absolutely. So for me, everything everything that I do, everything
that I have going on, it comes from a place
of experience, a place of purpose, a place of passion.
And you know, just growing up, I've always been that girl.
I'm a servant. I love to serve. How can I
help people become the better version of themselves? And I'm
constantly getting asked like, Tisha, do you know this person?

(11:49):
You know that person?

Speaker 2 (11:50):
You know?

Speaker 6 (11:50):
Can you put me in contact this person?

Speaker 5 (11:51):
You know?

Speaker 6 (11:52):
A lawyers, I'm a paralegal, or you know, how can
you help me do whatever it is? And I've always
been that bridge. I always be in that bridge, but
I didn't have any a name or anything behind it.
And I went to an event and there was a conference.
There was a women's conference, and I'm like, oh my god.
These women were literally like how can I help you?
And how can you help me? And it wasn't something

(12:12):
that they were just saying maya, they was lied. They
were like actually changing numbers and exchanging numbers and having conversations.
And I'm like, oh my god. And I believe in
you know, create the change you wish to see, become
the change you wish to see. And I was like,
you know what, I'm going to bring this back to
Mississippi because and put it on a bigger scale as
to where can women in our own state, how can

(12:34):
we network? How can we collaborate? How can we beat
that stereotype that women cannot work together?

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Right?

Speaker 6 (12:40):
So I was like, all right, I prayed about it.
I had my first event. It was called mingling Oa
Mimosa's Business Brunch. I didn't know if one person would
show up. I didn't care I just live by supply demand,
and I know this is something that we needed. And
also when I have a vision and God gives me
a vision, I understand that you have to walk. You
have to really walk in there right now and trust
a price, I says, and understand that He's going to

(13:01):
give you everything that you need. You are a magnet.
So girl, I was like, you know what I created?
I said, I put my flyer out there. I had
a young lady I was friends with at that time.
She was a decorator. I was like, the tickets are
twenty dollars, and it was like twenty seventeen. So I
hired a lady from like a local church to do
us some food, just country style, you know, give me

(13:22):
some grits and eggs. So I was like okay. And
so when I got that first twenty dollars ticket, I
was like, oh my god, I forel like a million
dollars because I live by if we can inspire just one,
and if it's one, you know, you could just inspire
just one. So at first, I'll never forget that feeling
of that one ticket being purchased. To make a long
story short, there was like sixty some tickets when the brunch,

(13:45):
Like when the doors opened, we had like over one
hundred people. And I can remember going to tell the
lady in the kitchen. I said, oh my god, oh
my god, there are more people than more people. She
was like, well, we're just out of me. And I
was like, girl, we from the country. Do some grits
and eggs. Put them in a bowl, you know what
I mean, Like, wake it up, just cook from there.
And after that I received so many emails. I received

(14:06):
so many people were reaching out to me, when is
the next one? When is the next one? And I
was like, you know what, guy, I need you to
give me a name what because I didn't know when
the next one. I literally trust the process with this
and I prayed about it. And then women brunch Mississippi
because the initial goal and still is to brunch the
entire state of Mississippi, you know, and just from a
place of me coming from a small town looking out

(14:28):
the window, knowing that I'm of this, like I'm in
this environment, but I'm not of this environment. My mindset
is so much bigger. So I was like, you know what,
I can inspire people who are sitting home and they're
looking out their window, like, what are we gonna do?
Like I don't see the opportunities around me physically, but
I can see them mentally. So I just that was
just a goal and here we are, and it has

(14:49):
led to so many opportunities. I have met so many
amazing women. Just the Brunch platform and itself. You know,
it was able to open the door for Bell Collective,
it was able to open for you know, other entrepreneurs
and powerhouse, powerful women in the state, to be able
to be showcased across the two millions across the globe
and when you guys tune in and watch us, you know,

(15:10):
on the own network, and it has just been an
amazing experience. I'm able to travel Jamaica, your book, to
go places, you know. So I'm just grateful and I
tell people all the time, just fillow the purpose. If
you follow the purpose, the money will come.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
You know.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
You said two things that resonate so strongly with me. First,
you channeled your inner Gandhi when you said, be the
change you seek to see in the world. And that's
often what people miss is that the vision begins with you. You know,
your vision is not outside of you. And so many
people always believe that I want to be like someone else.
Here's what I just heard Latitia say. I'm about to
do Letitia, and I'm about to.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
Do it big, and boy has she? Boy have you
done it?

Speaker 4 (15:47):
And I love the fact that you trusted yourself, trusted
what you wanted in your passion and you made it
into your purpose.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
And the second thing you said is if you build it,
they will come you.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
That's true, and that's you did.

Speaker 5 (15:59):
Those those two energies are so big to me.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
So when I actually had talked to you, and you know,
you had said you from Jackson, Misissippi, you know, I
was like, what.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
Jackson?

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Kind of Unfortunately, Jackson probably holds a reputation like Chicago does.
Everybody thinks Chicago is super violent and not safe, and
that's not true. I'm not going to say it doesn't
have his issues, but it's often put on. What's kind
of put out there is a little bit over the
top and not exactly true. And actually, when I thought
about Jackson, Mississippi, I was like, there's something going on
in Jackson, because in my mind I just didn't see

(16:30):
it that way.

Speaker 5 (16:30):
Though.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
For where I am from, especially in Illinois, there is
a big connection between black Illinoisans in Mississippi because there
was a big migration in the sixties and seventies to
come up here and work. So you will find a
lot of black people that are from Jackson Bay Springs, Hattiesburg,
the whole nine yards who jumped on the bus or
the train and they came to Chicago. So when you

(16:52):
told me like there was this rebirth, I was like,
this is interesting. And then you said Ferris Street, which
I'd never heard of, and I in sleep did some
re search. Tell my listeners about Faris Street because I
guarantee you these kind of places existed in so many
places about it.

Speaker 6 (17:08):
Yeah, Fari Street was like the black mecca here. I
can remember my grandfather, God rest his soul, telling me
about Fari Street. His sister had a salon down there.
He said it used to be everything, like it was
just a hub for black people, like anything that you needed,
and it was so loving. It was so like, you know, unity,
like it was so much unity there, and I was

(17:29):
just like, I want to rebuild it. Just hearing his
stories and knowing that his sister had, you know, she
was a successful entrepreneurs down on Faris Street. Doing you know,
as my granddaddy said, black folks, black folks hair and
stuff like that, and I just I just dived into it.
And there was just like you know, physicians there, you know,
our own dentists with grocery stores, but like it was

(17:51):
just a place. It was like the black mecca. So
that was so like so interesting to me. And I
started researching and you know, researching, and I wanted to
really initially when we came onto the show, to bring
that back. And I still would love to see that,
but you know, there are a lot of things that's
going on that's above me, but that would definitely be

(18:11):
a dream come true to see that that historic district revitalized.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
And so when I met you and I started watching
the show because I'm like this, it was tempting to say, Okay,
I can just you know, start at thing, and I'm like, no,
I feel like there's a journey here that I need
to see kind of unfold with the Bell Collective.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
So but before we jump.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
Into that, I want to definitely promote the things you
do with the women's Brunch because when I was in
episode or season three, I dotialized and you kind of
started taking it on the road, you were taking it to.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
Other places kind of how has that evolved for you?

Speaker 6 (18:45):
Oh my gosh, so much. We did like a Southeastern
tour and that was so amazing, and believe it or not,
it was just like a handful of us, so I mean,
and we made it happen. We traveled, We did Memphis,
New Orleans, we did like Columbus, Georgia, we went to uh,
North Carolina. Of course we were hearing Jackson. We went

(19:05):
to Alabama. So it's Southeastern so now, and it takes
a lot to like put them on. So we're win
the process now of doing another tour, getting that together,
and it takes time because it's more so it's more
than just okay, event planning. That's one event, but when
you are planning multiple events, you have to make sure
that there's so much you're doing in each city. So

(19:27):
this time we're like, hey, we you know, we learned.
There were some hiccups, there were some mistakes, and that's okay.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
I love that.

Speaker 6 (19:34):
I love the journey. The journey is where it is,
so I'm excited and I would definitely keep you updated
when we get all the dates and everything in the
city's finalized. I think you and I spoke about coming
to your area.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
Gotta come to Chicago. You gotta love.

Speaker 6 (19:47):
How I have family in Chicago from Mississippi. Of course
they were doing that time, so absolutely I love Chicago wonderful.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Yes, I mean even when I saw, like, you know,
you kind of ran one of the brunches you had
did a couple different ones on the show, and.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
I just could see the intensity of women listening.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
You could just feel the vibe in the room that
it's such a positive thing and we need more spaces
like that.

Speaker 5 (20:11):
For women, especially right now currently in the country.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
We need spaces like that for women to feel supported
because when you are under duress, you know, it kind
of makes you feel like, wow, where can I go
where I feel safe? So something like this, I think
is an amazing space. So when I also did my
research after we had met, I saw, okay, you have
Latizia peers and enterprises, you know, And I also said,
it looks like you do like you work with people,
like you'll be coaching.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Is that correct?

Speaker 6 (20:35):
Yes, yes, I do. I have empowerment says, I have
a mentor share program, and under that is so much.
It's really the Latisia Pierson brand. I do so much.
Of course, I do speaking engagements that people call them
motivational speaking. I just like to really just be laid
and right and say what I have to say. Ah. Yes,
And I have my program, of course, my mentors share program.

(20:58):
I am a bail Bonds but I've been Beilbondsman's in
twenty eleven. I do now freelance para legal. I was
a parallegal for like twelve I think years or so.
And yes, so now I'm doing that. It's so much
going on. I have some amazing endeavors coming down the
pipeline as well. So everything is is just the brand

(21:19):
itself is growing so huge, and I'm so grateful and
so yeah, it's so much. Definitely a powerhouse over here.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Oh you are. I mean this is exactly when you
take it. Sounds to me like you legitimately found what
you are passionate about it and you turned it into
your purpose. And that's the thing I always talk to
people about. Passion without purpose is not going to have
the motivation it needs.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
Right.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
Purpose without passion will not have the direction that it
needs to drive forward. So they're so they're so in
tandem with each other, and you're such a good example
of that. So here it is you were in many
hats because of course, you know, you're a mom, you're married,
you're a daughter, you're a business woman, you're a really
good friend because you've got the patience of a saint.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
I'm gonna say that again. I was, Oh, she can
do that so good, because like, look, it's I'm gonna
tell you something about this show.

Speaker 6 (22:07):
Guys.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
So when you watch this, everyone who knows me knows
not really a reality TV person. I'm kind of I'm
a nerd, so I'm kind of like a sni fi.
I'm like a Discovery Channel Smithsonian person.

Speaker 5 (22:17):
Like I just like stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
But you know, I enjoy a little like you know,
kind of you know him and Han poconut stuff every
now and then to kind of losing it up. So
when I met you, I started watching the show The
Bell Collective. I'm like, let me start from the beginning
because I want to see how the story evolves. And
the very first thing though we talked about it that
resonated with me was often, when you see a lot
of reality TV, beyond the fact it always seems caddy

(22:40):
and fighting and all that kind of stuff. I always
felt like the story because it's predominantly women, because I
always say reality shows are like the new soap operas
for women or people. Yeah, they really are, because if
you look at it, soaproperas are almost gone, but the
amount of reality shows there's tons of them, so that
it's kind of like that new programming thing, except it
has a lot more reality to it, obviously because it's
real life stuff. And the thing I noticed instantly was

(23:03):
here are a lot of like, really I would say,
put together women. It doesn't mean their lives are perfect,
but they're entrepreneurs, and we were seeing their lives through
their lens as a person, as an entrepreneur, as a woman,
not as someone's wife, which I'm not saying is wrong.
I'm not downing that, but I was liking to see
that the drive that these women had. So in that
first season, it was of course you and then there

(23:26):
was the dentist, and then there's Marie like the therapist,
which you know, I enjoy that.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
Piece a lot.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
Then there's u Tambor who is the radio host, LaTrece
Latrice who got.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
Us lengths hair, her pair of products. I'm missing someone
here who did I miss in that first season.

Speaker 6 (23:46):
Season season?

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Yeah, and I just kind of watched this storyline happen
and I thought, not only was I then watching you
guys as entrepreneurs, but then I realized you're giving something
that a lot of other shows don't get. We then
got to see you as partners, as wives or girlfriends,
and the struggles that go into that, being a parent.
There was a good narrative even about like familial connections,

(24:09):
like you know your grandparents and the roles they play
in your life. The celebration of black love and parenting,
like the celebration of black love in your show.

Speaker 5 (24:16):
I'm all for it. Thank you seeing that.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
But you guys had a truth to a lot of
stuff you say that. That's why I would encourage people
to watch it, because to me, it is probably one
of the realist shows. I'm not being funny when I
say that about the interactions that you guys show. So
tell my guests, where did the idea of the Bell
Collective come from?

Speaker 6 (24:36):
That is so good? Oh my gosh, don't make me.
I was just listening. First of all, thank you so much.
I love hearing that because that's been to go, like
to really just show like real people navigating through real life,
right and not something made of Not to knock any
other shows, but our show is so different. It is
so unique. I mean, you have these women straight out

(24:58):
of Mississippi just being there opting TI sales and whatever
that may look like to us individually. We don't care.
What you see is what you get, and we're just
grateful for the opportunity. But I will say, uh, myself
and a friend of mine by the name of Jacoby,
he was working with me with the women brun she

(25:18):
was having to organize. He was younger, of course, and
me very gray, very into entrepreneurship, and he wanted to
just learn more. And he shared with me that Carlos
King had opened up a slot and to be able
to pitch women like pitch a show. And I was like,
oh my goodness, that is so amazing. And Jacob was like,

(25:40):
you know you talk about these you know these females,
you talk about Mississippi. You always want to you know,
have have.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Had.

Speaker 6 (25:49):
I was reading the comments they said they said it's
alive because my hates everything on TV.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
You don't know me like, we might have to go
check this out.

Speaker 6 (26:00):
Yeah, And he was like you know what, here's an opportunity.
And I believe in shoot my shot, and these women
that I pitched, I was inspired by them. I didn't
even pitch myself like I was more so wanting to
be behind the scenes to just help in any capacity
and serve these ladies in any way. But I always
have to give credit to Carlos King because he was
able to see something in me that I did not
see it myself. And he was like, girl, you got it.

(26:20):
I'm not pitching this unless you come on over here.
And I'm like, what, this was not my vision board,
you know, And I thank God for it. I think
God trust in the process and it has been an
amazing experience. And I'm glad again that he didn't overlook Mississippi,
you know, as a visionary. He said, you know what, people,
other people like yourself, what is in Jackson, Mississippi? And

(26:41):
it's like huh. And he looked at it from you know,
from a vision from a visionary and said, well, what
is in Mississippi? If that's a question of many millions
of others, he was like, Hey, as a visionary and
an executive producer, I'm going to show people what's in
Mississippi and he's been showing for what like six seven

(27:02):
years now and so forever grateful. So that's how it started.
I just wanted to highlight Mississippi and show women we're
really down here doing things. There's more to us than
what you guys may think of what you guys may
you know, have witnessed on television. Yes, that is our history,
but also were creating a new history, right, and it's
just it's just been an amazing experience.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah, I'm like, it's such an amazing show. And it's
interesting because and watching it, you know, you get to
see glimpses of Jackson. Now, I'll be honest, a couple
of times I was like, that's kind of swanky Ian Jackson.

Speaker 6 (27:39):
Look at you exactly. It's so different like it is.
I mean, we are really doing some amazing things down here,
like you really see, you know it just just just
doing some amazing things, making some boss moves, like and
really giving back to our communities.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
And you know, one of the things after we had talked,
I kind of I'll do a lot of research on
different stuff because interesting enough, my sister lives in Jackson, Okay,
and I went down I mean I went down for
a couple of visits, not a ton.

Speaker 5 (28:04):
And I was like, I don't think I saw that part.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
But we also didn't venture out and do a lot either,
so I can't put it on and say.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
I went out and there was nothing there.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
But I was reading something online once and it actually
listed Jackson as one of the up and coming areas
for entrepreneurship. It said there's a lot of opportunity for
growth and to build because it's not overdeveloped and it's
an area that often is looking to bring other different
aspects into the city.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
And I was like, well, look at Letitia ban I
have a curve on this one.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
Yes man, yes, nobody but got nobody but God, and
you got to move in that. I think a lot
of times we allow fear to stop us. We'll allow
like who, Like I just said, well, my brunches, how
many people going to show up? Or do we think
people are going to show up? Or who? You can't
worry about that. If you build it, they will come.
Like you have to shoot your shot. I hear those
younger kids saying, now shoot your shot, shot, yo, shoot

(28:55):
your shot. Yes, that's it, everybody.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
If you don't know about the Belt collect It airs
on Fridays for seven pm Central Time a pm Eastern time.
You can watch it on the own network, of course,
we know that's the Oprah Winfrey Network and they're into
season six, which that right there. I was like, we've
been missing this for all this time, and it's.

Speaker 6 (29:15):
Tell problem the program.

Speaker 5 (29:18):
I'm glad I got to get with the program.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
But don't worry, we got we got to put you
somewhere on the map, you know what I mean? Because
I was like, I believe that people will watch this
and be like, this is actually some good stuff.

Speaker 5 (29:28):
And I'll be honest.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
You had a couple of different scenarios that unfolded in
the show, and I was like, I can relate to that,
or I know somebody who could relate to that, because
that was so close to something that happened to somebody.
So I think it's got a lot of connection points
to it. So you pitch the idea to Carlos King
you blow them away and he's like, yes, this is
and he was smart, it's something different, it's something new.
But how did you then decide who was going to

(29:51):
be part of the Bell Collective? Because I know that
had to be a tedious but very important thing you
had to decide because you didn't want to put just
anybody out there.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
Absolutely absolutely so just women that I like personally, that's
here in the area, that myself, that even me, that
inspired me, Women that were doing amazing things. You have
like you know Marie who created a multi million dollar
home health company. You have you know Laterce Rogers here,
who sold millions of dollars worth of hair out of

(30:23):
her trunk. Right, you have at that time, the dentist
who was really doing you know, the dentistry. She I
think her goal was to help others after she really
got to where she wanted to be. You have Timber.
You can't come into Jackson without hearing the Midde diva,
you know. So there were so many and of course
I pitched a few others, but that was that was

(30:44):
left up to Carlos who he wanted, you know, once
he decided, he has the final say. And that's just
that's just how it happened.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
No, and that right there can tell people just how
much you think you had a selection people, and some
people's minds are in the thought there was that many
people to select from. That disc goes to show you
and there.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
Are movers and shakers everywhere everyway at times, you know,
people will take this narrative although and I have to
say I was slightly guilty of it. I just didn't
think there was more there than what there is, because
it's very easy for people to kind of have the
stereo type in their mind of you know. And I'm
not sure if it's so much Jackson as much as
it's the idea of Mississippi, because probably people think more
about the Gulf then they're like, oh, you know, like

(31:25):
that area down Biloxi and things like that. They kind
of see that as being, oh, that's a nice place.
But I think because there's there's this image of what
people think Mississippi is, they miss out on something that
could be really good.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
And yet you brought this together.

Speaker 6 (31:38):
So I know, I know exactly because I was calling
like my aunt, I was calling my family in Chicago,
like every time I would go vis I'm like, am
I gonna get shot at? So it's just like, you
know what I mean, I'm being honest, So we have
to and that's so I get it because I'm guilty
of doing that myself, right, And so we just really
tap in and you don't know and again shout out

(31:58):
to you know, Kingdon rank in own network for showcasing
something else.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
Yes, it gives you and there's see me, there's a
richness to it because it isn't just this. It's a
reality show, but it has to me. You guys are
showcasing to me a lot of history. I also feel
one of the things I do like about the show
is especially whether it's someone as a partner or whether
somebody is married.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
I do guys do a really.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Good job with one promoting marriages can have a problem,
but they also can be healthy.

Speaker 6 (32:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:29):
Yeah, it's not like just taking the negative.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
I like how there always seems to be good balance,
even to the relationship dynamics.

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Between the women with Sea.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
So I'm gonna ask you this question because I feel
you have the patience of a saint. And I'm gonna
be flat out honest. At fifty three, I might a
custom all out by now. I know, I know, I know,
it's like, oh, she's so good. I don't think I
could do it, but it is a bigger challenge. And
the thing is, I really thought about this as I
was watching. I was like, friendships are really harder than

(33:01):
people realize. Yeah, maintaining sisterhood can be very difficult. And
the thing I like about you is you do such
a good job of trying to navigate people. See I
don't want to say too much because I want giveings
away because I want people to watch it. But you
can have people in conflict, and the thing that you
do constantly that I love as like she is always

(33:22):
finding the good in somebody. You won't just write people
off or just say I'm not gonna do this. You
give everybody an opportunity. Like you said, shots fired, you know,
so you give everybody a opportunity to do right or
to do better. You don't just kind of say, well,
you messed up and I'm gonna rule you out. You
sit down, you talk about it, and you really do

(33:44):
help try to give them.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
The opportunity to do better. How do you navigate that
like that?

Speaker 6 (33:49):
I don't know. I just think for me, I've just
everything that my grandmother says and everything that happens, you
know to me is basically we go back to that.
You treat people how you want to be treated. Right.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Yeah, that's yes, which is the golden rule you for
people who treat.

Speaker 6 (34:07):
It, you know. And I feel like at the end
of the day where for me, I meet people where
they are like, I don't sit into anything. My first
my first instinct, My first thing is to love. Like
I lead with love, right, I love to lead with love,
and I like to see the good in people. I
don't judge people by a mistake because I know that

(34:27):
we're all imperfect humans and I know they're good. There
there's some good in somebody. I want to try. My
goal is to like find out what hurt you and
what called you to act this way? What are you
running from? What have you experienced that make you feel
this way? You know. I just believe in like treat
just treating people how you want to be treated. I
know that life is like a boomerang. Whatever you put

(34:47):
out there is coming back, you know. And and I
say this all the time, and I tell a lot
of my mentees is that Menteenes is this as well.
A lot of times people are not looking for someone
to believe in them. They're just me someone to believe
with them. And that makes a difference. And that's even
in friendship. You know, we are human, we are human.
Relationship friendships you go through things every day. You're not

(35:11):
gonna be happy every day. Things are not going to
be perfect, you know, and you just have to you know.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Nope, I agree with that. And you're saying something that
I think people lose sight of. Everyone on this is
le Teacher Pearson. She is our guest. Actually she's the
fifteen guess that has stepped on to the ambition stage
and we're talking sisterhood and women empowerment because what she
does is so amazing. So one of the things I noticed,
and I was like, gosh, I don't know how much

(35:37):
I'd like that you decide to do a reality show.
Your life has to be out there for people to see.
And I definitely feel like you've had some tough moments. Seriously,
how do you navigate that and not feel overwhelmed by it?

Speaker 6 (35:52):
Just through my experiences, just my tough experiences. I've had
so many tough experiences. But you know, I realized too,
you can't just sit in stuff like it's easy to
just sit in stuff, right, And I tell I say
this to myself too, It's okay to have a moment
like I don't I want to be negative for five minutes.
Allow me to be negative, like and then you know,

(36:14):
because I tell people it's okay, you know, say think positive,
think positive, that's great, that's great, but realistically, let's say
sit in it. Be negative, say negative things. If you
want to sit in that, all that, and then it's like, okay,
you got five minutes, get it all out, and then
you have to definitely you have to definitely transition back,

(36:35):
you know, into like that moment you know of you know,
this life is happening, happening for me and not to me.

Speaker 5 (36:43):
So yeah, there you go, you say something, see like
you have an inner therapist there. I can tell you.
I can hear you.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
Because one of the things that people often think they
can't do is sit in their negativity. I explained to
people that it's okay. I said, marinate in whatever feeling
you're having, even if it's negative, because it's a real
emotion that you need to address and figure out why
you're feeling it. And once you sit in it, I'll
even give you a day or two, then you need
to step out of it and really like ask yourself,

(37:11):
I feel this way, but is it really something that's based.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
On fact or just feeling? And then you proceed to
move forward.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
But I don't like when people think or they feel
like they can't actually have a negative emotion that there's
no space for it, because that's not accurate.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
There is space. And I'm glad you said that.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
People realize you got to let yourself feel the good
with the bad in order to rise.

Speaker 6 (37:33):
Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely, and that's just what it is. So
and you're so positive yourself, you know, I try.

Speaker 5 (37:40):
You know, I have my days.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
I make a running joke with my husband, like, because
I'm dead smack in the middle of going through the
menopausal transition, so I'll just slide out tell people this
is a menopause day, just gonna let you know. So
I'm gonna say what I think, how I feel, and
if I have a hot flash, I'm like, look, this
is just life, it's how it's happening. But no, there's
only I always say, there's only so much that you
can do what it comes to you can. You control

(38:02):
what you can't, and a lot of people get very
caught up in the things that they can't control, and
that's often where a lot of things go difficult. And
that's when I watch you navigate these relationships with people
on the show. I'm like, No, that's really like not
even something that she can honestly fix. But here you
are always advocating. You're, like, I think, in essence of
who you are one you're truly empathetic. But I feel

(38:25):
like just the core of your being is you're an
advocate for people.

Speaker 6 (38:27):
Like, oh, thank you. Yeah I do. I really do.
I really genuinely love people. I like to see people happy.
I like to see people betting on themselves. I like
to just see people operating in authenticity, whatever that may
look like to them. I just like to see people
becoming a best version of themselves and understand and hey, honey,
life may happen, but you don't have to sit there.
Let's continue to go. If you're looking at me and

(38:49):
I'm looking at you, there's still a bigger purpose. So
I really do. I genuinely love to just really advocate
for people and you know, be a voice if they
can't be a voice, if you can't stay with you
you want to say, I can help you say what
you want to say. Just be you whatever you need.
Like I'm just a vessel and that's who I am
in my core.

Speaker 4 (39:08):
No, and that's just something that's you are consistent You're
very consistent throughout the show and every time, like I said,
I'm moving to season four, she has been consistently titia
the entire time. That's one of the things I love
when people are consistent in who they are. So this
is a show that has gone six seasons. And when
I tell you, I was floored that I had never
heard of it until I came across you.

Speaker 5 (39:27):
I was like, this is like something.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
But again, if you're a binge watcher, this might be
the best thing that has happened to you for the
winter months.

Speaker 5 (39:34):
You're about to find something that you can sit down
and watch.

Speaker 4 (39:37):
Because you guys are into season six, tell me a
bit about Okay, so season six, you guys, I've seen
there's been some cast chains along the way. Can I
figure out as I moved through the seasons?

Speaker 5 (39:46):
Why? So what makes season six? Would you say? Like,
what's unique about it? What's the thing about it?

Speaker 4 (39:52):
You're like, this season has come to this, this was
a big moment for it.

Speaker 6 (39:57):
Who what I love and what I'll just say, you
just never know what you're gonna get. And I think
as like our you know, our supporters out there, that's
what they love about the Bell collective because I think
that they can sense what we what we what we know,
and we don't know what's going to happen. We don't
know what's going to unfold. It's not one of those

(40:17):
things you say, Oh, this is gonna happen this season,
this is gonna happen, that's gonna happen. It's nothing like that. Like,
we literally don't know. So every moment there's like a
what what you know? What I mean, that's what I love.
You know, we just just never know. We are real
people and you guys happen to suggest with cameras in
our faces, like and this is what it is. We

(40:39):
don't know. There's no script there's no you know, take two,
there's none of that. And I just that's that's what's
keep I know, that's what's keeping us on season out
the season out the season, and that's just us showing
up as our authentic selves. And that's just what it is.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
And the thing is, I actually really believe you when
you say that, because when you watch like you watch,
if watch any sometimes things can feel very scripted. It
doesn't I know, this situation was very opportunistic and here
it was right there.

Speaker 5 (41:10):
You know what I mean, Yeah, it does.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
It does have that unique and then feeling that this
is your guys lives unfolding because like I said, you
guys share a lot of stuff. I'm like that would
be a tough thing to share with people knowing that
now everybody legitimately is in your business.

Speaker 5 (41:23):
Like they're in your business. There's no escape from it.

Speaker 6 (41:25):
Yeah, when it comes to like the core of us,
like the actual bills, like what you see is what
you get, Like you know, you have like your outsiders
want to come in to get like you know some time, right,
And then that's when it starts to like ah, you know,
but when we talk about and it has nothing to
do with us or production, it's just people won't that
fifteen minutes or you know, eleven minutes of thing. But

(41:47):
when we with us the core, like what you see
is literally what you get, and we have to stand
in it. You know. Sometimes we have to apologize and
we don't want to. But we are real people with
real emotions, yes, right, and neither are our families. This
is my life, you know, like this is just what

(42:09):
it is. Do you think that you know? And I
even said a lot of times like oh, my gosh,
I shouldn't have said this, that and the other. I
shouldn't have put my entire you know, marriage and different things.
But then when I go into like airport or I'm
booked to come here and speak across the world, It's like,
oh my god, you inspire me. Like I did not
know that I could really get past this. So I

(42:30):
didn't know. You know, you stood up for yourself here
and I went home and I stood up to my
husband here, and I was able to tell people, you
know how I feel, be a good person, but don't
spend the rest of your life trying to prove it.
So once that like I put all that into a
perspective because I'm like, everything gotta make sense for me, right,
I'm hearing this space. Why So I'm hearing this space

(42:50):
not because I want you guys to see me every
Friday night. I'm in this space so that I can
be an inspiration and hopefully my story will help other
people heal or create that business or you know, just
be be be a listening ear. So that's just why
that's this is why I'm here, you know.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
And one of the things that I kind of caught
me and I and if everyone. Everyone has a unique story,
and I like following, but obviously because I met you,
I kind of pay closer attention. But you also have
these nuggets within your storyline. I'm like, this is like interesting.
So you're married Glenn high school sweetheart, stuck.

Speaker 6 (43:24):
At that right, Yeah, well we didn't go to the
same high school. He graduated the year before me, so,
but he did go to my high school prom with me.

Speaker 5 (43:33):
Right. So.

Speaker 4 (43:34):
One of the things that I think is unique about
that is people often say how difficult it can be
to sustain a marriage when you start dating somebody when
you were a teenager, because you're gonna go for those
life changes, you're gonna mature in The question is do
you still stay on the same page?

Speaker 5 (43:50):
Aligned?

Speaker 4 (43:51):
And when I and actually I feel like when I
watch you guys, I'm always I'm probably watching as a
therapist too, but I'm watching it because I was like,
they're walking what I feel to be a very difficult
role in marriage.

Speaker 5 (44:01):
Marriage is already challenging. It is and it's work. It's work, people,
So don't get married if you think you're not putting
some work.

Speaker 6 (44:07):
It's definitely works work, but it's you know.

Speaker 5 (44:10):
It's good work.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
You know, it's like anything else, it requires maintenance. But
I thought you guys had that extra added kind of
difficulty because you started dating really young. You guys have matured,
and I think that is interesting. Your your marriage in
the storyline. I was like, there's so many people that
can look at that and say, interesting how they navigate
that because you still see the.

Speaker 5 (44:31):
Passion along with the conflict.

Speaker 6 (44:33):
Yeah, for sure, And that's every day. That's every day
with us, for sure, because you have to think about it.
Like you said, we were kids. I was seventeen, Glynn
was eighteen. Like we've been married. So we got together
in nineteen ninety eight and we've been married for twenty
two years July this year May twenty two years.

Speaker 5 (44:53):
And that can be truely.

Speaker 6 (44:56):
How people now, let's be but it's like we have
really everything, and I tell people anything that could possibly
hit a marriage, we've experienced. It is education, so we
have experienced it. And it's just kind of like, you know,
one of those things that we grew up together. We

(45:18):
are friends, you know, we are family, you know, we
have really just we really just navigated life together. You've
got to think. So that's where we are when it
comes to that and what you guys see on the
show and different things like that. So, yeah, it is
a journey. It is a process because we've been together
for so long.

Speaker 4 (45:37):
And it's interesting when you say that, because part of
what pops into my head with that is as an individual,
most people never really pour into themselves. We tend to
live in the roles that we are pretty much born into.
So we're instantly somebody's daughter automatically, you know, and then
we might be a granddaughter, you know, and then become
someone's friend, and then we're someone's wife or partner, often

(45:59):
where somebody's employed. And the one role I find most
people do really poorly at navigating or even embracing until
maybe they have an epiphany is the role of being you.
And I feel since i've been watching through the different seasons,
I have been watching you evolve.

Speaker 6 (46:14):
Yeah, thank you. That's the goal. Thank you. I appreciate that,
that's the goal. Stay tuned because right now, I mean,
I'm involving even more as we as we as we
film the new you know, the new season.

Speaker 5 (46:26):
Oh, I believe it. I can't, I can't, I can't wait.

Speaker 4 (46:29):
Like I said, episodes, I even got my husband watching it.

Speaker 6 (46:33):
I was yes, yes, yes, and I love it.

Speaker 5 (46:36):
Watching He's like, what's this?

Speaker 6 (46:38):
What's this? Thank you? Thank you so much. No, I
appreciate it. I appreciate it. And it's just like just
I don't know, it's just grateful. Like I say all
the time, I've been saying this lately. You know, things
are just just around in life and just let life happen.
Let life happen, and like just you know, just life happen.
You know, whatever is supposed to happen to you is
going to happen to you. I still live, you know.

(47:01):
I'm a magnet, you know, and everything that I need
will be attracted on to me. So I'm just like,
you know what, let it flow and God got the
rest there.

Speaker 5 (47:09):
Yeah, let it flow and it will go where it
is supposed to go.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
You know.

Speaker 5 (47:13):
But a lot of people like to fight.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
They like to fight the current of life, and that's
what makes it so much harder to get to where
you need to be. Well, Tisa Pierson, you are absolutely amazing.
What is on your table for twenty twenty six? Is
your next big project that you were excited about?

Speaker 6 (47:28):
Oh my gosh, I really can't say, right now I
want you to tell me, oh, because I put it
out prematurely, but it's so I think you're going to
love it for sure. You're gonna love it for sure.
And I'm just excited. I'm just excited about everything that
is happening. I'm excited about, you know, just just the
elevation and just the peace, the love and things that

(47:50):
are just happening. Once we let go and just let
things flow, life started to get easy and just be
a good person. So let's see it.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
Oh, and this is a this is a tough this
is a tough viele right here. She doesn't like a
lot either. This is funny, she said, y'all cooking this episode.
Their ambition is feeling real infectious right now. Bost some
popcorn and seats for the comments section.

Speaker 6 (48:12):
Yeah, okay, yes, keep them talking, keeping talk.

Speaker 5 (48:17):
It's interesting enough.

Speaker 4 (48:18):
So one of the things, so I'm an Aquarius, and
so I'm the person who can have a million ideas,
right and they all go into the ether because I'm
just like that. I'm like, well, this is great. And
the thought I kept having is I'm watching this show.
I was like, if there was a chat room somewhere
about this show, I actually would be in it, like
putting some stuff in there. Serious, Yeah, you know what
kind of social media or things like that, or is

(48:39):
there anything wrapped around the show that if people want
to be more interactive and things like that besides watching
that they can be involved in.

Speaker 6 (48:46):
I would have no. I would have no clue.

Speaker 5 (48:49):
Oh that we got to talk to somebody about that,
because I will have.

Speaker 6 (48:52):
So, I mean, because I'm sure there are a lot
of sites that people create, people are groups, but not
like with the show.

Speaker 5 (49:00):
Nothing specific about the show. Okay, so people can.

Speaker 6 (49:02):
We create it? So I'm a free will to create
your own.

Speaker 4 (49:07):
But not nothing that you guys kind of say, this
is our space where our fans who support the show
kind of get together and chat about it and stuff
like that. You don't have to, like you said, any
of us have that type of time. Well, you probably
don't know somebody else would be needing to do. Yeah,
you don't have.

Speaker 5 (49:26):
Enough time to be doing all that by any strategy imagination.

Speaker 4 (49:30):
Well, Latitia, as always, you are amazing everybody first and foremost,
you have to support this, not just because you're supporting
somebody who's an amazing person, but because of what she's
doing is fantastic. Latitia Pearson has so much going on,
so you can always get connected with her. I always
tell people get social so you can find you on
ig at Letitia Pearson x pretty much the same thing.

(49:51):
I love it your social media handles are all settled
and together. Of course, the easy thing to do is
to learn more about you is to go to your website.
That can learn more about the Women's Brunch, which is
a platform for female entrepreneurs and businesswomen as well as
you heard her talk about having mentees, which means, you know,
if you're looking to take your life to that next
level and you feel stuck, sometimes you just need somebody

(50:12):
else's you know, perspective, not necessarily vision people, but perspective.
Walk into the room with your own vision and you
might need someone just to help you tighten up the focus.
And Latitia would be the person who could definitely help
you do that. The other piece, Remember they are into
season six of The Bell Collective. Remember it airs every Friday,
seven pm Central, eight pm Eastern. You can watch it

(50:34):
on the own network, the Opraen Network. And you know what,
how I've been watching the show right now is on
demand because obviously, I'm catching up with all the episodes.
So you can get connected with the ladies of the
Bell Collective just pretty much go to the own network page,
click on shows, and right there you'll see it, and
almost all of those different shows are on demand.

Speaker 5 (50:54):
That has how I am catching up.

Speaker 4 (50:55):
I am into season four and let me just say this,
I am not disappointed and like I'm not a person
that watches a lot of stuff. This is interesting and
juicy all at the same time.

Speaker 6 (51:05):
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support. Oh
my god, I need you as my high girl. You need,
you know, collaborating and doing something, Yes, we have.

Speaker 5 (51:19):
I definitely. I've met so many people and doing these
ambition shows.

Speaker 4 (51:23):
I was like, okay, we got to collaborate because there's
so much out there and you have, but you're doing content.
I feel that people women especially, they need this content.
Fis guys, the upper corner. There's a QR code. I
try to make things easy for people. You can scan
that QR code. It's going to take you right to
Latitia's website for Letitia Pearson's Enterprise. So for the person
who tried to check me on my QR codes on screen,

(51:43):
what I found out about the iPhone was if you
click on it on your phone, guess what, It opens.

Speaker 5 (51:48):
The page for you. So someone's like, what are you
putting that cure?

Speaker 6 (51:53):
I can't scan it.

Speaker 5 (51:53):
I'm watching it on my phone. I'm like, well, according
to the Apple, you're supposed to be able to click.
That's how you then do it. So click on the
QR code.

Speaker 4 (52:00):
But of course you can always go to her website
as well to catch everything.

Speaker 5 (52:04):
Any parting thoughts for my listeners, Letitia.

Speaker 6 (52:07):
No, not at all. The last. The only thing I
have to say, whatever it is that you want to do,
do we all know what Nike. We all know what
Nike has to say, and that is just do it.
Don't last fear rob you of your purpose. If it's
something you want to do, go out there and do it.
And if you build it, they will come.

Speaker 5 (52:23):
If you build it, they will come. That's true, all right.
Everybody listens to your keepapar to.

Speaker 6 (52:29):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, gank you so much.

Speaker 5 (52:34):
Guys.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
I can't tell you how it is such a show
worth watching because, like I said, you know me, I
don't watch a lot of reality TV, but there's this
is just not reality TV.

Speaker 5 (52:43):
To me, this actually has a lot of really good storylines.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
I'm a mental health person and I feel a lot
of people will watch this show and you'll find something
that you can definitely connect with for sure. So we're
moving on full steam on the number fifteenth, which will
be another which will be the wrap up of the
Ambition shows before we go into next year. I'm gonna
have obviously the final guests for the year and at

(53:07):
that point I will start to re air all the episodes.
So coming up, and this is interesting, We're gonna we're
gonna kind of bring it back. This might be something
that's kind of right in line for the holiday. We're
gonna have on Marsha Earhart, who is a certified Life
Grief Trauma Brandon Mental Health coach. She's a mediator, author, speaker,
and a health sink minister. She really focuses on grief

(53:28):
and trauma and legitimately what makes her story so unique
is she created the Rose Sanctuary and this all came
from the loss that she had of her twenty one
year old son unexpectedly, and from that she took something
and turned it literally into her passion and purpose. So
again we're gonna have another amazing guest coming on that

(53:49):
we did have to reschedule at one point, but she's
coming back on. She will be on December fifteenth at
two pm Central Time, So make sure you tone into
that episode as well. Because around the holidays a lot
of people struggle with the idea of grief. I understand that,
So just make sure that you go ahead and you
check her out so everyone is always thank you for
