Not Your Mama’s Pizza Slice: A Lesson in Reciprocity

The fact that you don’t critical think anymore is killing me.

Hey yall! I am back for your Wednesday listen. This week we are diving deep into what it actually means to practice critical thinking in a world full of groupthink. I am breaking down a TikTok video that got me thinking about boundaries, dating, and church culture. We explore why people are often attracted to your relationship with God but run for the hills the moment you show your humanly flawed self. Plus we look at the exact PR playbook celebrity machines use to manage reputations. From Kevin Hart to Jay Z, we talk about the difference between proactive and reactive crisis management, why the art of real journalism is dying, and why good PR is designed to confuse the masses. To wrap it all up, I have a very exciting personal announcement about my new role in community advocacy! Pop in your headphones and let me know your thoughts in the comments! Key topics this week: Setting firm boundaries around your availability and free time The reality of being a layered human being who has spent 36 years living and learning How public relations strategists keep powerful celebrity machines running Why the majority ruling sometimes just means the majority is wrong My exciting new career update with Voices for Children Advocacy Center

Chamber Meetings, Career Shifts, and the Drake vs. Chris Brown Formula

In this week's episode, Jordyn is back to talk about the powerful shifts happening both in business and in her personal life. Fresh off her first solo speaking engagement with the African American Advisory Committee (funded through the Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce), she breaks down the essential keys to shifting your mindset from a consumer to a business owner. Jordyn shares actionable insights on customer experience, social media etiquette for entrepreneurs, and why business relationships shouldn't always be transactional. But the conversation doesn't stop there. Jordyn gets vulnerable about a recent career transition, sharing a powerful testimony about the beauty of stepping back, praying through uncertainty, and learning how sweet it truly is to trust in God when doors close and better ones open. To wrap things up, she dives into a lighthearted pop-culture debate: why Chris Brown and Drake are essentially two sides of the same coin when it comes to mastering the art of relevancy. In this episode, we discuss: Community Support: A reminder to give back and support local initiatives at Well of Hope Flint. Mindset Shifts: Moving from a feeling of "obligated support" to viewing customer loyalty as a privilege. Customer Experience: How your social media presence dictates how potential clients experience your brand before they ever buy a product. Faith & Patience: Learning to let God put time on a situation so you can make educated decisions instead of swift, chaotic ones. The Relevancy Formula: A breakdown of how artists like Drake and Chris Brown stay on the charts, even when we don't always see artistic growth. Tune in for a perfect blend of business wisdom, spiritual alignment, and pop-culture hot takes!
