Send us Fan Mail Take the Elevator has elevated in its soft opening and wanted to close the first 60 days with clarity on what the podcast is about. In this session, we challenge some of the status quo and provide our insight into concepts like "transparent" and "vulnerable" - and dive a little deeper into "influencers" and the preference for being Elevators. Please c...

Send us Fan Mail It's almost time for kids to go back to school with the expectation on faculty, parents, and children that it will be done 100% virtually - at least for the rest of 2020. Our favorite places have opened up but have recently been closed or are on their way to that status due to COVID-19. Our new norm has caused certain feelings and questions to arise. How do we get through thi...

Send us Fan Mail Before we embark on a mini-series regarding Millennials, we wanted to continue our elevator ride with the intelligent and charismatic, Chelsea. She takes us with her as she remembers her childhood. Once again, Chelsea yet again makes an unexpected impact on me and it was so right on time. Let's elevate together as you we take this ride with Chelsea, Gen the Builder, and Kory....

Send us Fan Mail This episode is full.. a lot to "fact check," good substance to take in and digest. Listen to Kory share his first experience with racism and how it was literally just around the corner of where he lived. He will take you with him on his journey to discovery and then more discovery. Where he goes is - freeing. Top this good meal with a fresh, glass of water. Let's e...

Send us Fan Mail Kory and Gen the Builder emphasize the simple but purpose giving belief that life matters. We are unable to move forward until we seek truth, allow the murky water to settle, and then have true transparent conversation in which we really see one another. Realize this - seeing one another involves seeing our colors.  When we know the reason for which we are created and why we exist...

Send us Fan Mail The first session of Take the Elevator really drives the point home that black lives matter and at the same time understanding we need other lives to complete this process. I am proud that our first podcast is very real to what my husband is experiencing as a man of color.  I make no apologies for it and instead know that this is a strong start to our purpose and that is to elevat...

Send us Fan Mail Typically when we take the elevator, we are with people we don't know who are just trying to get to a particular floor. What would happen if we actually had the time to talk and hear each other's stories, each other's life journey? We might find that we have a lot in common or a lot in differences but if we really just really listened to those stories, we would see...
