Disruptor Series - Deanna Deacon is Disrupting Societal Norms
play

11/24/20 • 37 min

In the first ever 'all-female' Disruptor Series episode, Asha Davis has a candid conversation with Author, Empowerment Coach, Motivational Speaker and Intuitive Healer - Deanna Deacon.
Listen as Deanna discusses her new book: Feminine Warrior - Your Guide To Intuition & Feminine Wisdom and shares insights on how we can all use this moment in time to reflect and reset to ensure we're leading our most empowered lives.

To our male listeners, don't let the "Woman Power" exuded in this interview lead you to believe that this episode isn't for you. In fact, allow us to 'Disrupt the Societal Norms' that dictate what women and men 'should or shouldn't' care about.

Deanna Deacon Quotables:

"Every being that is alive has both masculine and feminine energy."
"...(We) have been leaning towards our masculine energy as a collective society.... As a culture we value so much, the productivity, the outcome, exactly what we’re going to get out at the end of us putting in that effort... If you focus all of your energy on that there’s not actually achievement."
"...balance both energies, the feminine being more of the present moment, the joy, the stopping to smell the roses...coming more into that creative nature within you where you can find solutions without having to seek them"

The Next Decade of Disruption is a 3 episode series we've created in partnership with the 2021 3% Conference.

"I think people dim their light to be accepted into certain areas. It dims their ideas...and it seems like that is built into Corporate America."

In the third and final episode, Asha sits down with Ashton Womack, Daily Show w/ Trevor Noah Writer and Stand Up Comedian, to discuss the future of news, comedy and inclusivity in the entertainment industry.

As a staff writer on arguably the most diverse show in late night, Ashton has seen first hand the difference inclusivity makes across the news stories covered, the broad range of humor and the lives of those behind the scenes. While most writer's rooms are predominantly white and male, The Daily Show prides itself on giving opportunities to underrepresented talent - or should we say 'emmy-winning' talent!

Disruptor Series - Bill Tsapalas is Disrupting NYC's Curbsides - Ep 82
play

06/03/21 • 42 min

If you are selfless in your intentions, selfless in your full engagement,

selfless in your expectations, things will eventually unfold in a positive way.

Bill Tsapalas is probably best known for his strategic creativity, having helmed creative campaigns for some of the industry's most notable brands and agencies. What many may not know, is that Bill is fiercely passionate about the city of New York and the local neighborhoods that make it the best city in the world.

At the outset of the pandemic, two of the city's most famed industries - Restaurants & The Arts - were completely upended. This prompted Bill to use his skills and experience to help, and the Curbside Canvas project was born. Over the past year, local restaurants and talented artists across NYC have partnered together to turn 'Streeateries' into Street Art - a concept that has proven so beneficial to both industries that it is continuing to live on even as NYC re-opens.

Trust us, this episode is definitely worth a listen - you may even get a surprise musical performance from Bill himself!
