    About this Episode

    Every time I see a red lollipop, I am instantly reminded of the full-bodied, free spirited, unapologetic greatness that is Luvvie. No sooner than I’d decided that it was finally time to get this podcast off the ground, Luvvie came to mind. Three minutes later, I was in her DMs. I couldn’t think of a better person to launch the first episode of Better With Paul. 

     

    When I asked this Nigerian-born powerhouse to explain exactly what her job description is, she politely corrected me – in classic Luvvie fashion – and, after this interview, I can better appreciate the unbridled greatness that flows through her veins. She doesn’t wear a single hat, in fact, I couldn’t imagine Luvvie summarizing her passion and talent into a single elevator pitch. She’s touched the world as a writer, marketer, digital analyst, and professional speaker, but she’s still just getting started.

     

    The world loves to attempt to mold us to fit into a bite-sized, easily managed existence. From our resumes to our personal lives, people like Luvvie stand as an example of what we can accomplish when we rise against adversity and demand our due from the universe. 

    Join me as I ask one of the few people I trust to maintain balance in the world more about what helped her keep going. I just had to know what inspired this 12 year old girl who touched foot on American soil in a world that wasn’t quite ready for what she had to offer. We dive deep into clashing cultural identity, fighting through personal fears, and answering the call of entrepreneurship. Her selflessness has since paved the way for black women around the world. Her message has confronted the fragility of white supremacy and the result helped her not only clear the path, but hold open the door for the next generation of great leaders like her. Listen in and get inspired.

    Untold Stories of Reginald F. Lewis: Personal Life of The First African American Billion-Dollar Dealmaker

    Untold Stories of Reginald F. Lewis: Personal Life of The First African American Billion-Dollar Dealmaker

    Untold Stories of Reginald F. Lewis: Personal Life of The First African American Billion-Dollar Dealmaker

    On this week's episode of Better With Paul, I have one of my favorite conversations of my career with Christina Lewis. It includes a look at the personal life of one of the most important dealmakers in modern history.

    Reginald F. Lewis is famed for his fierce intellect, drive, vision and for breaking racial barriers on Wall Street. Yet he was also a visionary and active philanthropist. A desire to "do the deals myself" led Lewis to establish TLC Group, L.P. in 1983. His first successful venture was the $22.5 million leveraged buyout of McCall Pattern Company. It was a struggling business in a declining industry. As Chairman and CEO of the new TLC Beatrice International, he moved quickly to reposition the company, pay down the debt, and vastly increase its worth. By 1992, the company had sales of over $1.8 billion annually, making it the first black-owned business to generate a billion dollars in annual sales.

    Relationship Coaches: Boosting Your Sex Life & Building Strong Sustainable Relationships

    Boosting Your Sex Life & Building Strong Sustainable Relationships

    Marriage is hard work but are you willing to persevere through those tough times of relationship struggles? On this week's episode of Better With Paul, I have a conversation with two relationship experts I hold in high regard, Esther Boykin & Dr. George James. We discuss the many facets of navigating through relationship roadblocks and how to know what indicators are creating the issue. It's not easy to confront relationship hardships with your partner but the very problem could be because of having a stagnant and stubborn mindset because of the taboo the word Marriage Counseling & Therapy has. Realizing your boundaries and non-negotiables are things to ask yourself when it comes to effort being matched, and knowing do I want to do this.
