What if one of the most important career skills you could learn has nothing to do with your actual job? When Rana was a fresh-out-of-high-school intern at CBS in 2009, she was told that everyone should work in sales at some point in their career. Sixteen years later, she finally understands why. Sales teaches you how to communicate, understand people, handle rejection, advocate for yourself, and create belief. In this quick solo episode, Rana breaks down the 3 things she believes everyone should learn how to sell: Because whether you're building a career, a business, a creative project, or simply trying to figure out what's next, you're going to have to sell something. Learn what that is and why it's important that you start that journey now .

What if getting your money right is actually part of getting your dream right? Anthony O'Neal is back on Dreams In Drive for the third time to talk about financial freedom, money mindset, living paycheck to paycheck, building wealth, and what it really takes to create the life you want. Anthony, author of Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck, explains why making more money doesn't automatically create financial freedom—and why creating financial margin can give you the room to pursue your bigger goals.

Plus, Anthony breaks down his EARNED framework for turning dreams into action and opens up about his own dream of becoming an HBCU dean and eventually an HBCU president. If you've ever felt like your finances are holding you back from the life you want, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about money, strategy, and what it means to truly put your dreams in DRIVE.

Let's have an honest converastion about why so many women, especially moms/working moms feel like they are so unmotivated and tapped out along the #dreamdriving journey. The answer isn't that we don't want to be more "ambitious", the answer is that there may be something even simpler that explain it. I don't have the answers, but I want to just start telling the truth about what it means to know you want more, but just simply find your way out of the exhaustion.
