Margo Lovett - Her Business Her Voice Her Conversation

For over a month, I have had conversations with podcasters. WomELLE and I are finalizing preparation for Hey Podcasters which kicks off tomorrow - Sept 1. At 4:00 pm PST, WomELLE and I will talk about this month-long celebration for podcasters. Meet us at https://www.heypodcasters.com/

The panel and one-on-one discussions made me reflect upon my own journey, say thanks, and yes, tell my story to those who don't know who I am. Please share this and stand ready to discover, support, and possibly become a podcaster in September. #share #celebrationtime #inspiration #podcasting #HeyPodcasters #tellyourstory #confidence #reflection

Terrall E Tillman Sr. Incarceration in America. S19 E18

Today's guest Terrall E. Tillman Sr. (author, poet, self-made authority on prevention, intervention, and incarceration), transparently takes us on his 19-year journey in the federal prison system. Terrall is transparent, takes us into the cause for his incarceration, the impact, and trying to re-enter as a free man; it's not for the faint of heart. Website: https://reentry-030.com/

What we discuss:

Factors that led to his incarceration

Impact of serving 11 years in the federal penitentiary

Reentry behavior- hit the ground running, five years of positive forward movement.

Walking down a road only to meet an informant-the encounter brought consequences after two years.

His life now:

Five years’ probation lived out 2 as of today.

He is missioned to help the incarcerated re-enter this new world and work as a case manager, a mentor.

“It’s all bout the mindset” is what this straight shooter tells clients.

There are a lot of re-entry programs out there now because re-entry is an entity. So resources are available to clients.

P.S. It’s not the PO’s (parole officer) job to get resources for those on probation.

Denise Reed coworking space trailblazer!

My conversation is with Denise Reed, the CEO of The Concierge Office Suites - Chattanooga, Tennessee. One fantastic savvy business lady!

Conversation highlights:

You're working in an industry you love, ask for an opportunity to buy the company! That's what happened. Denise bought Concierge Office Suites, a coworking space, in 2006! Big move, bold move. Wait, the story gets bigger!
What happens when an Angel investor volunteers to assist with financing Denise's new business? Keep listening; this is so cool!
Does Denise answer the question-are coworking spaces worth it? Valid question seeing that these spaces are becoming quite popular.
What is the component, the basis for building a coworking space that has continued to serve the community for 25 years? What's Denise's secret to success? Her secret sauce is the "Just in time experience." When a customer comes to The Concierge Office Suites, they expect to have all office resources available to them, thus "anything a traditional office has, it's there at Concierge. Concisely, service is the main ingredient.

Hold onto your chair! This lady, with a background in commercial real estate, also has a FARM! Denise and her husband have run a commercial broiler chicken farm, Wing And A Prayer. Nope, not a small undertaking, Wing And A Prayer operate on 40- acres. But, do know, there are no chicken coops! So, can somebody say, Green Acres! http://denisereed.is/ventures/wing-and-a-prayer/

Know this; more highlights and reasons to visit The Concierge Office Suites.

Denise was vetted and accepted into the National Concierge Association as a Business Concierge in 2021

She says, "surround yourself with smarter people."

"Business is not easy but simple – somebody pays you = a business."

The Concierge Office Suites, Central Business District/ 633 Chestnut St, suite six hundred, Chattanooga TN 37450 / 423.266.6388
