On today’s episode We have the godfather of Entrepreneurship, Les Dennard. After achieving a nursing degree and practicing in healthcare for 10 yrs, Les saw the medical field change, which made me no longer want to pursue this career or work as an employee. This was a turning point in his life, leading him to become  a business owner of four different businesses with 77 employees working with him. Les realized that being self-employed was tough.  Self employment involved  sacrificing time with family, and when a health crisis hit early in life that put him out of work for two years, Les realized that  if he was not present to run these businesses, they would fail.  During this pivotal time in Les’s  life,  he began to understand the value of money, which in turn,  led him to develop principles that would later become financial stewardship of money courses that sustained him through this  financial, physical, and emotional crisis.  Les transitioned from a business owner to a full time entrepreneur  in multi- level  marketing and gained the responsibility that comes with the comprehension of leadership. Les based my business dealings and foundation on the  belief that  ''leaders must have an insatiable courage that enables them to resist those who would otherwise discourage them. there is no chance; no destiny; no fate that can circumvent hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.'' This was the foundation of his program KNIGHTS OF DESTINY , a self development leadership program for entrepreneurs. This work ultimately led Les to sharing my gift for building relationships and  teaching leadership principles to youth. Website:  www.knightsofdestiny.com Email:  dennard@kodconnect.com Phone: 941 806 8670This program is brought to you by:Kindred Art TherapyVisit https://www.arttherapync.com/ to schedule a free consultation.

Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. Like the movement for equality, any business that has been started was first formed with a dream. When we dream about starting a business, we usually dream of ways we would like to increase our lifestyle. I believe that all dreams and businesses start with the foundation of Freedom. When it comes to minorities, we still find ourselves in marginalized positions in communities, in politics, economically, and socially. One of the reasons why I appreciate the city of Asheville is for its movements to bridge the gap of equality. I struggle most when I know there are opportunities for minorities that are not taken to the maximum potential. As minority entrepreneurs, we have an obligation to pay those who sacrificed for us to have the freedoms that we currently have. Although we may have many problems in our society, the reality is that we are privileged to have the types of problems we have due to what barriers were overcome by previous generations. This episode provides a perspective that the only way for us to become equal is through the journey of Entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship leads to equality because when we are successful we have to collaborate with others. The most important impact of entrepreneurship is when we become successful and we can financially provide for ourselves, we can then fund economic projects to push our own political agenda and change our community. This episode is a call to action to take Martin’s dream and take actions of freedom for ourselves and the community through Entrepreneurship! This program is brought to you by:Kindred Art TherapyVisit https://www.arttherapync.com/ to schedule a free consultation.

As we come about the end of 2022 and the end of Season 3 of the Golden Key, there is much to reflect on and strive towards. The last three years since the pandemic have shifted our cultural norms in some of the most drastic measures we have seen during this generation. As we approach the third year of the pandemic, I can not help but be grateful for everything that has happened since the pandemic started. This reflection has led me to call the year 2023 the Jordan year in honor of my favorite basketball player. The Jordan year is about cementing the legacy of greatness. It is about having an attitude of arrival, confidence in purpose, and a clear unwaivered vision. The Jordan year is about leaving every sweat of potential on the floor in the game of life. The Jordan year is about mental dominance regarding adversity, setbacks, and challenges. The Jordan year is about the mental attitude of humility backed by endless hunger to rediscover potential. The Jordan year is about an irresistible impact through opening doors for others to create their own journey. 2023 is the year of becoming, and on this show, you will listen to what is in store for us!
