I mean...could there be a more perfect union??!! I am SO excited to be taking part in Tubi Cabana at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity! More on the session I'll be participating in below. Check out the Tubi post to RSVP! Huge thanks to Myles Worthington and WORTHI for the invitation (and to Greg Hahn for saying he's excited about it 😁) 1PM TUESDAY 6/18 Multicultural Can’t Come to the Phone Right Now, She’s Dead What even is multicultural? Literally nobody identifies as multicultural, or diverse, or any of the other blanket terms in play. And then you have words like “minority” and “marginalized”, which inaccurately categorize these audiences as inferior or small. If you are an expert in authentically connecting and communicating with underestimated audiences, you are an expert at resonating with the general market — because Black, Latine, AAPI and LGBTQ+ culture is mainstream culture! Marketers should think about these audiences as a part of their day-to-day strategy, and not because of principles related to DEI, but because of principles related to profit. Weed out the apathetic language, lean into specificity, and be intentional about authentically and consistently connecting with these underestimated audiences. Your brand depends on it.

As May comes to a close, we would like to take a moment to reflect on an incredibly productive and rewarding month at Apex North Business Coaching. This month has been a testament to the power of collaboration, learning, and community. One of the highlights was the NARI workshop event. Engaging with such a dedicated group of professionals and sharing insights on leadership and growth was truly inspiring. The energy in the room was palpable, and the discussions we had were both thought-provoking and action focused. It's always fulfilling to see the impact of our collective efforts in real-time. Additionally, our founder, Glen Dall, speaking at the workshop hosted by the Minnesota Construction Association was another significant moment. We extend our sincerest gratitude to the entire team at MCA for orchestrating such a valuable event. The commitment to fostering growth and development within the organization is truly commendable. Connecting with attendees from Ames Construction, Orion Search Group, Kaas Wilson Architects, Ryan Companies US, Inc., and many others was enriching. Your enthusiasm and willingness to learn are what drive meaningful change. Participating in "The Sales Team You Deserve" event presented by Mike Carroll of Intelligent Conversations and co-organized with Jeff Redmon Breakthrough Impact Group was another highlight. Mike Carroll's expertise and the engaging conversations that were had around building and leading high-performing sales teams were invaluable. As we step into June, let’s continue to align our efforts, support each other, and strive for excellence. Remember, our success comes from ensuring your success. Here's to many more powerful conversations and impactful collaborations.

I came across this post and article today that caught my eye: "Crystal Window & Door Systems, LTD. Welcomes New CEO Jeffrey Smith". The company name instantly brought back memories! Back in the late 1990s, I interned and then worked at the Jamaica Business Resource Center (JBRC) in Jamaica, Queens, NY. JBRC was the first One Stop Capital Shop launched as part of President Clinton’s initiative to provide small businesses with access to financing and technical support. It was my first exposure to SCORE Mentors and the U.S. Small Business Administration, and it sparked a passion in me for entrepreneurship and small businesses that drives me to this day. JBRC was my first real "job" and it showed me what was possible with the right mentors, guidance, education, and discipline. One of my early mentors, Gary Alexander Byrd, always reminded me of the value of education and how it would be my ticket to success and opportunities beyond my immediate surroundings and situation. He was the first to teach me about business planning, strategic thinking, and competitive analysis. The founders of Crystal Windows & Doors probably don’t remember me. I was just a 19/20-year-old trying to figure out my future. I can't remember his name, but I assume it was either Thomas or Steve Chen mentioned in the article. He came to the resource center almost EVERY DAY, met with mentors, used our computers and business resource library, and leveraged the small business community to work on his dream. He probably didn't notice me as I was usually in the back file room sorting documents, but his dedication left a lasting impression on me. Seeing this article brought me joy and admiration, and proved to me once again that with hard work, dedication, and the right team, anything is possible. Wow, from using a little non-profit's computers and library to founding one of the largest window manufacturers in the country with over 750 employees. If this isn’t the American dream, I don't know what is! Congrats to Crystal Pacific Window & Door Systems and to Thomas and Steve Chen on this momentous achievement, and thank you for inspiring me at an early age without even knowing it. Onward and upward! #mentorship #education #smallbusiness
