Does leaving your W-2 mean taking a reckless jump in the hopes of landing softly? For Arndreya Price, not necessarily. Taking the red pill and exiting the matrix can be done with class and sheer confidence in oneself. She shares the value of hyping yourself up and prioritizing yourself. The drive towards stylish, versatile, quality paraphernalia began when I crossed the burning sandz in 2006. I’d waited for this moment most of my life and I was beyond elated! But my line had to wear BIG oversized sized men’s t-shirts that had no shape. As a collegiate neophyte I proudly repped that paraphernalia. However, that line t-shirt didn’t allow me to showcase my personality and style. My experience is not unique to me; others have had similar difficulty having to settle for subpar paraphernalia. I believe all Divine 9 women, and that means you, should have Greek apparel that reflects her unique style and personality and helps her feel beautiful and confident. And thus, my inspiration for LNO Greek. Whether your style

Living a life feeling like we do not have a choice hinders us from making better decisions. For Kofi Thompson, upon realizing the responsibility he has for his life, abandoned the scarcity mindset brought from the toxic environment he lived in.  Kofi Thompson has made it his mission to normalize the conversation around mental health and create avenues for people to express their challenges, get the support they need without the stigma and focus that energy into “life creating” habits. This passion came from mistakes he made trying to numb the trauma from his upbringing in a home with two parents who were diagnosed with chemical imbalances that presented as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.  As an empath, he has little tolerance for suffering and wants to help eliminate this source of pain for families across the nation.  Kofi is a true example of what it looks like to overcome your environment, channel your pain and use it to live out your dreams.  Today, he is a competitive powerlifter who holds the record

Finding balance is key - we all have heard this. Some people believe it, some don’t, but for James Bryant, we can look at this in a whole new light.

How often do we blame others for the chaos in our lives? Whether we like it or not, we are not inculpable children stuck in uncontrollable circumstances. It may be painful, but as adults, we should blame ourselves. From this realization comes empowerment as we take on the responsibility to lead ourselves to a better life, as Michael Unbroken will discuss here. My journey is not dissimilar to that of millions of people around the world. I grew up in chaos. My mother was a drug addict and alcoholic. My father abandoned me when I was barely 2 years old. My step-father was hyper abusive, and the kind of guy that you pray never enters your life. We grew up in The Mormon Church where I was molested by one of the Ward’s mothers in the night. Since we were often homeless and the church partitioners took us in I wasn’t allowed to say a word. By the time I was 11 I had been entirely stripped of my childhood. Between the beatings, belittlement, molestation, and homelessness I was ready to kill myself. By 12 I was using

In life, there are various situations where we can fall victim to the circumstances and have self-defeating or self-protective behaviors. Oftentimes, we seek for answers out there but the more we realize our own past, patterns, and current situations, what we are looking for is already within ourselves - and like what Brian Bogert emphasized - we just have to be mindful of it. It is scary but twice over liberating to realize how much control we have in our lives, so unless we become aware and take ownership, we would never come in for such potential. Brian Bogert teaches leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals how to become more aware and more intentional, thus allowing them to become who they already are, their most authentic selves. Brian provides a roadmap to ease the journey to self-realization. He ensures professionals understand the difference in using their time not in minutes, but with INTENTION. He opens the door to perspective, motivation and direction by sharing with leaders how to reprogram thei

Our intention is there and we do take action to make our lives better. So how come we still do not get what we expect? What’s missing in the equation? Perhaps that is what we need to ponder on. Dan Mangena shares his story of going through notable ups and downs in his life that lead him to logical steps to solve the equation, pointing out the significance of our inner environment. I’m Daniel Mangena. Born and raised in London, England. At the age of 27, I was given the revelatory and life-shattering information that I have Asperger’s syndrome.

It is nothing but natural to respond to suffering and shame with suppression, given how we are wired to think starting from our early years. But as a matter of fact, this very notion deprives us from embracing our authentic selves. Brian Bogert has a unique story to share about this and how he discovered the beauty in life by embracing the ugly.  Every single high-achieving individual has been stuck, frustrated, unsure, and angry as they start feeling their efforts barely move the needle forward on progress.
