564: How to Build an Epic Business with Justin Breen
As Told By Nomads
03/16/21 • 43 min
In today’s episode of the As Told by Nomads Podcast, join me and my guest, Justin Breen. Today, we’ll be discussing how to build an epic business. Justin is the founder and CEO of the public relations firm BrEpic. He dedicates his life to helping people like him realize themselves, stick to the right mindset, and enabling those who will make a difference to change the world. Justin is also the author of the straightforward and incredibly inspiring book Epic Business; don’t forget to check it out!
The Right Mindset, The Right People
Justin’s focus on surrounding himself with the right people has proved incredibly vital to his growth in being who he is today. As he highlights his past, he mentions how people often misread him and how sometimes he did the same. After he realized the importance of communication, he soon learned how to engage with others and who to engage with. According to Breen, having the right mindset, the right people, and not caring about what the rest of the world thinks of you is what will keep you from swerving off the road of success. The power of constantly improving, learning, and not letting anything stop you, not even your excuses, cannot be understated. Keep yourself open to your resources. “Keep learning. Keep on honing your craft, reaching out, and putting yourself out there. Trust yourself and the people around you who encourage the right mindset.” This is the kind of person Justin Breen is. The business realm is “sink or swim,” but Justin knew how to navigate that by just having the right mindset and knowing the right people.
Media, Entrepreneurship, and the Industry
Tayo and Justin hold conversations about the modern business scene, the nature of self-correction, and journalism’s evolution. And from those conversations, they delve deeper into the “Nature versus Nurture” discussion regarding being an entrepreneur. The progression of technology and the information age landscape has drastically shifted business compared to way back when. Collaborating with other brilliant minds, and far more sprawling and interplaying topics all seem to connect to Justin’s vast experience working in the industry. In this episode, he also touches on how he utilized his craft and how it benefited him in the long run. “Work hard, smart, and do what needs to be done” is how Justin sees the industry and even the world.

592: How Flexible Funding and Decolonizing Development Works with Nabeeha Kazi Hutchins
As Told By Nomads
09/30/21 • 40 min
In today's episode of the As Told by Nomads Podcast, join me and Nabeeha Kazi Hutchins as we talk about why flexible funding is imperative to movement making and advocacies. As a third-culture kid, Nabeeha shares how her lived experiences of multi-culturalism helped her to grow up resilient and with an open mind. Now, as the President and CEO of PAI, Nabeeha helps us understand the colonization mindset in development as a whole, the problems that hinder easy access to quality women's reproductive healthcare, and how flexibility can be achieved in funding developmental projects and policies.
A Tough Talk About Difference
In the early 70s, being an immigrant in America wasn't as talked about as it is now. For Nabeeha's parents, preparing her for how the setting would probably differ was essential. Even though she didn't have any significant negative experiences, Nabeeha understood so many things about her difference early. For example, Nabeeha understood that she'd probably be the only brown child in her circle. She'll also probably be the only immigrant and Muslim among her friends. Because she couldn't eat pork, Nabeeha was also made to understand that there is a possibility that she would not be catered to like other kids at school. But to prepare her for all of these, Nabeeha's mom made sure that she had everything she needed. Because they don't fit with the norm, Nabeeha's mom clarified how she couldn't always expect the world to meet her needs and meet her where she is... Yes, these all sound terrible to say to a child. But for Nabeeha, that upbringing gave her the resilience and open mind that she now leads with.
Outline of the episode:
● [03:20] Nabeeha's early years
● [06:06] Growing up in a multi-cultural household...
● [08:00] A parent's role is critical when raising third-culture kids
● [13:29] How did Nabeeha navigate through her field of career?
● [16:10] Following your curiosities can attract the right opportunities.
● [18:11] What is PAI?
● [20:11] The cross-cutting effects of accessible quality health care and advanced education on sexual and reproductive rights to young women
● [24:35] What are some of the biggest barriers that hinder the advancement of better reproductive health care for young women?
● [29:04] The colonization mindset in development
● [32:20] We need to be flexible when it comes to fundings!
● [35:07] Where do accountability, awareness, and mechanism come in?

All Are Welcome with Cynthia Owyoung
As Told By Nomads
04/20/22 • 27 min
On today’s episode, I’m joined by Cynthia Owyoung, author of the new book All Are Welcome: How to Build a Real Workplace Culture of Inclusion that Delivers Results. Cynthia has had an incredible career, establishing and leading diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in multiple industries. She’s worked for companies including Charles Schwab, GitHub, and Yahoo and is now working with Robinhood as their Vice President of Inclusion, Equity, and Belonging. She’s also the founder of Breaking Glass Forums, which develops strategies to accelerate diverse leadership and inclusive organizations. Cynthia has been recognized for influence and thought leadership in this space, so if there’s anyone who can speak on the topic of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, Cynthia is the one.
We start our conversation with Cynthia’s early experiences as a first-generation Asian-American growing up in a predominately African-American neighborhood. The combination of a household that was governed by very traditional Chinese values and a strong black community led to Cynthia never feeling like she really fit in anywhere until she reached high school and met other American-born Chinese students. We then move into a discussion of the generational shifts that Cynthia has observed in the diversity and inclusion space, with events such as the murder of George Floyd and the continuing anti-Asian violence impacting the new generation of workers’ expectations of their companies in terms of inclusivity. Finally, I ask Cynthia my mission statement question: how does she use her difference to make a difference? And she responds that she does it by showing up as her authentic self, encouraging companies to drive more diversity, equity, and inclusion, and helping employees have a voice in making those changes.
Episode Highlights:
- Cynthia’s childhood sense of not belonging
- The barriers to true inclusion in corporate America
- How to conduct audits and create safe spaces
- The link between people and profit
- New trends and generational shifts in the inclusion and diversity space
- Diversity and inclusion in emerging platforms
- Why Cynthia’s new book is important right now
- How Cynthia uses her difference to make a difference
