Be Careful What You Feed Your Audience: A Message to Content CreatorsAs content creators, we often underestimate the weight of our influence. Whether you have a small, loyal following or millions of subscribers, the content you share is more than entertainment—it’s nourishment for the mind and soul. But here’s the hard truth: what you feed your audience is a direct reflection of your own insecurities, priorities, and worldview.If your feed is packed with the likes of Charleston White rants, Kendra G gossip, Kevin Samuels controversies, or constant narratives of racism, hate, and crime, you’re essentially serving your audience the mental equivalent of McDonald's. It’s quick, it’s addicting, but it’s not nourishing. There’s no “salad,” no vitamins to help them grow, no “superfood” knowledge to show them how to break generational cycles, invest in themselves, or retire comfortably—like a teacher-turned-millionaire who mastered the art of savings and compound interest.<figure id="figure-33sky213mm3td4gmv" class=""><img id="33sky213mm3td4gmv" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/31dSF6xpVaovJQlYbPXLNlw1YcveRXs4s3EihqvZ9GahyUeqqsWGySdk6LDn9AEw.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="Charleston White Confederate Flag" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/31dSF6xpVaovJQlYbPXLNlw1YcveRXs4s3EihqvZ9GahyUeqqsWGySdk6LDn9AEw.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Charleston White Confederate Flag</figcaption></figure>Leaders Serve the Right Food When you have an audience that listens and follows, you’re a leader. And leaders have a responsibility to serve a balanced “diet.” If you’re always feeding dirty water, as Elijah Muhammad warned Malcolm X, you’re poisoning your community, your culture, and even yourself.This issue isn’t exclusive to one side of the political spectrum. Both Democrips and “Rebloodlicans” (a nod to Governor Jesse Ventura’s apt critique of the two-party system) and the book often serve up divisive rhetoric, sensationalism, and empty promises. We see it daily in the content that dominates headlines, TikToks, and YouTube recommendations.Feed Your Audience Better As a creator, you can change the game. Here are a few ways to start offering your audience healthier options:<figure id="figure-o4vfp3529m3tddk61"><img id="o4vfp3529m3tddk61" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2149059417/photo/llm-ai-large-language-model-concept-businessman-working-on-laptop-with-llm-icons-on-virtual.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=amLel0eo219BZxRvSwoE0CiAV8wey95x6BTWujAOJb4=" alt="LLM, AI Large Language Model concept.

Teach your audience how to build wealth, improve their health, or learn a new skill.

Celebrate those who are creating change and show your audience how they can get involved.Inspire Action: Challenge your followers to do something better for themselves and their communities. Whether it’s volunteering, starting a side hustle, or simply reading a book that broadens their perspective, give them actionable takeaways.Reflect on Your Own Diet: What are you consuming as a creator? Your insecurities, fears, and habits seep into your content. Take time to feed yourself knowledge, positivity, and growth so you can pour that into your work. Your Legacy is in the Hands You Feed Remember, the audience you cultivate is a reflection of the content you create. If all you offer is “junk food” for the mind, don’t be surprised when your audience mirrors that back to you. But if you provide healthy, enriching, and empowering content, you’ll build a community that thrives—and that’s a legacy worth leaving.<figure id="figure-06mp6fu2m6m3tdji6z"><img id="06mp6fu2m6m3tdji6z" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/33bv00JjNLLEkhI6C0SjAlKKj3riL2EOl8djakeCQ032dOJ4hh2KON8ORtPak7Pf.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/33bv00JjNLLEkhI6C0SjAlKKj3riL2EOl8djakeCQ032dOJ4hh2KON8ORtPak7Pf.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>So, creators, ask yourself: What are you feeding your audience today? Make sure it’s something that lifts them up and leaves them better than they were before.

The chart above tells a story too many politrickians ignore: America thrives on the labor of immigrants, many unfairly labeled "illegal." But let’s be real—what’s truly illegal is the way politicians scapegoat these people while benefiting from their labor.The Numbers Don’t LieThe construction industry employs 1.5 million undocumented workers, making up 13.7% of its workforce. Hospitality, agriculture, and manufacturing also heavily rely on undocumented labor. Millions of immigrants wake up every day to do the jobs others won’t—or can’t—do. California, Texas, and Florida alone host 47% of the nation’s undocumented immigrants. These states aren’t just red or blue—they’re green, fueled by immigrant labor that politicians on both sides love to use but hate to acknowledge when it’s time to make policies fair.This reliance exposes the hypocrisy of many politrickians. Instead of addressing systemic issues—like wealth inequality, lack of affordable education, and underinvestment in communities—they turn immigrants into scapegoats to distract from their own failures. The truth is, these workers are not the problem—they’re the solution. Without them, industries like construction and agriculture would collapse, leaving the American economy in shambles.<figure id="figure-bvu4gfu25m3qpxxyo" class=""><img id="bvu4gfu25m3qpxxyo" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1dEmcYxlMmecl9izM6P2g5wtdJx5Zsw6J7cItke95SkdVW1P0tNHgXo98EUT5KpG.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 0% 0%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="0%" data-positiony="0%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1dEmcYxlMmecl9izM6P2g5wtdJx5Zsw6J7cItke95SkdVW1P0tNHgXo98EUT5KpG.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 0% 0%;"></figure><a title="unauthorized immigrants" href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/unauthorized-immigrants-in-the-u-s-by-country/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-mce-href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/unauthorized-immigrants-in-the-u-s-by-country/">Click for Full visual</a>Immigrants Show Us the HustleHere’s the irony: immigrants, especially undocumented ones, show us what hustle looks like. They work in industries like agriculture, construction, and hospitality where the hours are long, the conditions are tough, and the pay is far from glamorous. Why? Because they understand the game. They know the rules of capitalism: stay strong, stay healthy, and stay wise.Meanwhile, too many Americans, despite having every advantage, refuse to hustle. They’re stuck waiting for a job to come to them instead of creating opportunities. Immigrants aren’t the problem—they’re a reflection of what ambition can achieve, even under the most challenging circumstances.America Is Capitalism, and Capitalism Has Rules<figure id="figure-t9hu7qcpvjm3qqk4z3"><img id="t9hu7qcpvjm3qqk4z3" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1508726096737-5ac7ca26345f?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwzfHxjYXBpdGFsaXNtJTIwcnVsZXN8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzMyMTU4OTYyfDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="please stay on the path signage" title="please stay on the path signage" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="Please stay on the path" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1508726096737-5ac7ca26345f?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwzfHxjYXBpdGFsaXNtJTIwcnVsZXN8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzMyMTU4OTYyfDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Please stay on the path</figcaption></figure>Let’s talk facts: the U.S. isn’t a land of fairness—it’s a land of capitalism. And in capitalism, the strong, healthy, and wise win. That’s not a complaint; it’s a reality. If you don’t want to get left behind, you’ve got to keep up. Read more. Improve your skills. Stay hungry for knowledge. Because being average will get you replaced, not just by immigrants but by automation, AI, or the next ambitious worker willing to out-hustle you.This isn’t about fear—it’s about preparation. We need illegal immigrants to become legal because they’re already an essential part of our economy. But we also need to recognize that the game is constantly changing. If you don’t learn the rules, you lose.<figure id="figure-9u3v0e3lfhm3qqrvyk"><img id="9u3v0e3lfhm3qqrvyk" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1276386825/photo/tired-female-nurse-in-hospital-corridor.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=6KvNRdzYZpw1Pn_Wq9ap6TBztMvlq6lrOrwiQPZoWjQ=" alt="Tired female nurse in hospital corridor." title="Tired female nurse in hospital corridor." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 20%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="20%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1276386825/photo/tired-female-nurse-in-hospital-corridor.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=6KvNRdzYZpw1Pn_Wq9ap6TBztMvlq6lrOrwiQPZoWjQ=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 20%;"></figure>Politrickians’ Favorite ScapegoatWhy do we call them "illegal"? Because it’s politically convenient. Politicians know it’s easier to blame immigrants for societal issues than to tackle the real problems. They use immigrants as a distraction while continuing to benefit from their labor. Businesses rely on undocumented workers to stay profitable, yet instead of granting them dignity, these workers are vilified. It’s hypocrisy at its finest.The United States' history is deeply intertwined with its immigrant roots and the diverse cultures that have shaped its development. Historically, regions like California and Texas were once part of Mexico, while Louisiana was under French control. These varied influences have contributed to the nation's rich cultural tapestry.&nbsp;Beyond national borders, humanity shares a profound connection: all humans can trace their lineage back to common ancestors, underscoring our shared heritage. This universal bond serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness and the importance of unity.Immigrants exemplify the resilience and determination that define the American Dream. Often without formal degrees, they leverage ambition and resourcefulness to overcome systemic challenges, contributing significantly to the nation's fabric. Their experiences highlight the value of hard work and personal responsibility.In contrast, some may overlook the opportunities available, not fully appreciating the drive that propels immigrants forward. Recognizing and embracing this shared spirit of perseverance can foster greater unity and collective progress.By acknowledging our common origins and valuing the diverse contributions of all individuals, we can work towards a more inclusive and cohesive society. Embracing hard work and taking ownership of our lives, rather than adopting a victim mentality, empowers us to build a stronger, more united community.&nbsp;A Call to ActionAmerica isn’t for some—it’s for all. But that means putting in the work. Immigrants know this better than anyone, which is why they succeed despite the odds. The question is, are you willing to match that energy? Whether it’s pursuing a trade, driving a truck, or managing a business, the opportunities are there. The game has rules. Learn them, play them, and win.Respect the hustle. Learn from it. And if you’re sitting on the sidelines, now’s the time to get in the game. Capitalism rewards those who do.

While the pursuit of independence and financial success drives many, the reality is that sustaining a business over time is demanding. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as highlighted by Visual Capitalist, reveals that only about one-third of companies launched in 2013 have survived a decade later. Survival rates vary significantly across industries, with agriculture and forestry leading at 51%, while bakeries, restaurants, and other retail-heavy sectors face higher risks of failure.Some Of The Top 5 Riskiest Industries for BusinessesNot all industries are created equal when it comes to business survival. Some sectors are inherently riskier due to high competition, slim profit margins, or external factors like consumer behavior and economic conditions. According to the data, the top 5 riskiest industries include:1. Restaurants (42% Survival Rate)- Fewer than 1 in 2 restaurants survive their first five years, and only about 1 in 3 makes it a full decade. This high failure rate is due to intense competition, fluctuating food costs, and the challenges of maintaining consistent foot traffic.2. Bakeries (~42% Survival Rate)- Like restaurants, bakeries face a tough market due to slim profit margins, high operating costs, and fierce local competition. For every bakery that succeeds, many struggle to stay afloat.3. Barber Shops (Approx. 44% Survival Rate)- Barber shops fare slightly better, with nearly half surviving beyond five years, but their brick-and-mortar nature still exposes them to challenges such as high rent costs and changing consumer preferences.4. Brick-and-Mortar Retail Stores (38%-42% Survival Rate)- Retail businesses, including clothing stores and specialty shops, face stiff competition from e-commerce and shifting consumer habits. Fewer than 1 in 2 survive the first five years, with many failing to adapt to online trends.5. Entertainment (35% Survival Rate)- About 1 in 3 entertainment-related businesses, such as venues or event companies, make it to their 10th year. This is largely due to the unpredictability of consumer demand and the difficulty of staying relevant. <figure id="figure-nfb5ozus9jm3ognue2" class=""><img id="nfb5ozus9jm3ognue2" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/cfb6ICwStJvBUDENf1skkl4R0QqqDMi1KQz2X1rtSwOCkuTwBytrC5TFpzJXiPr4.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 5%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="5%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/cfb6ICwStJvBUDENf1skkl4R0QqqDMi1KQz2X1rtSwOCkuTwBytrC5TFpzJXiPr4.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 5%;"></figure>Common Reasons Why Businesses FailUnderstanding why businesses fail is crucial for aspiring entrepreneurs. According to research, the primary reasons include:- Cash Flow Problems (82%)- A staggering 82% of businesses experience cash flow issues, leading to operational challenges and, ultimately, closure. Effective financial management and planning are essential to mitigate this risk.Lack of Market Need (42%)- Approximately 42% of businesses fail because there is insufficient demand for their product or service. Conducting thorough market research before launching can help ensure there is a viable customer base.- Running Out of Cash (29%)- Nearly 29% of businesses run out of cash, often due to overspending, poor budgeting, or unforeseen expenses. Maintaining a healthy cash reserve and monitoring expenses closely are vital practices.- Not the Right Team (23%)- About 23% of businesses cite not having the right team as a reason for failure. Building a team with complementary skills and a shared vision is crucial for success.Being Outcompeted (19%)Competition is fierce, and 19% of businesses fail because they are outcompeted. Staying innovative and responsive to market trends can help maintain a competitive edge.<figure id="figure-ckhdlpidh8m3ogrhca" class=""><img id="ckhdlpidh8m3ogrhca" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/71QMBYB66mHnlYESl3t7BDSvtFUJ1bvucUHFvvILtZtyeJPr5uIGVoQco9PgXYTC.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 10% 50%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="How many Small Businesses Fail" data-positionx="10%" data-positiony="50%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/71QMBYB66mHnlYESl3t7BDSvtFUJ1bvucUHFvvILtZtyeJPr5uIGVoQco9PgXYTC.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 10% 50%;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">How many Small Businesses Fail</figcaption></figure>How Coleman Public Relations &amp; Consulting Firm LLC Can HelpThese statistics may seem daunting, but they also highlight the importance of preparation, adaptability, and strong foundational strategies.

Therapy, Trusts, Wills, Mutual Funds: The Flex of #GrownUpStatusBy Kellen ColemanWhen I hear people talk about what’s “flexing” in life, I can’t help but think about how the game has evolved. It’s not about flashy cars, designer brands, or chasing the next temporary thrill. The real flex? It’s building a life that screams stability, legacy, and peace—not just for yourself, but for the people you care about. Let’s break it down: therapy, trust, wills, mutual funds, and homeownership are the ultimate moves.Therapy: The Foundation of Emotional Wealth<figure id="figure-287s5oquvm3nhnq71"><img id="287s5oquvm3nhnq71" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/9FpnH13RvlS7Mk42znwbKY6zhkuKkoApmK6HRY55qnaJpQ8GuB9pEq8u6jI6eSzt.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/9FpnH13RvlS7Mk42znwbKY6zhkuKkoApmK6HRY55qnaJpQ8GuB9pEq8u6jI6eSzt.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Let’s start here because nothing else works without a clear mind. Therapy isn’t just about fixing what’s broken; it’s about evolving. It’s about learning how to process, communicate, and grow. Real grown men take accountability for their mental health and stop passing generational pain down like a family heirloom. Therapy is a game-changer—it strengthens relationships, improves focus, and teaches us how to set boundaries.If you want to build a legacy, start by healing yourself. Peace of mind is priceless, and it’s the first domino to everything else in this blog.Trusts &amp; Wills: Protect Your Legacy<figure id="figure-g76ej9x9b6m3nhs3yc"><img id="g76ej9x9b6m3nhs3yc" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/239f2VyhnHhbTmNS1iaMz50ycMbtTTrnatse2vCERdBdvARL073cMCAQc13B9UnM.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/239f2VyhnHhbTmNS1iaMz50ycMbtTTrnatse2vCERdBdvARL073cMCAQc13B9UnM.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Think about this: What happens to your assets if you’re gone tomorrow? You worked hard to build something, but without a plan, it can all go to waste. A will is the most basic way to ensure your assets go to the right people. But a trust? That’s where the grown man flex comes in.A trust allows you to protect your wealth, minimize taxes, and keep things private. Want to make sure your kids don’t blow their inheritance in a month? Set up a trust with conditions. Want your assets to benefit your spouse or kids without legal drama? A trust has your back.Mutual Funds: Slow and Steady Win the RaceLet’s be real—crypto and quick-money schemes are tempting, but the grown man move is building long-term financial security. That’s where mutual funds come in. They’re boring, I know, but boring builds wealth.With mutual funds, you’re diversifying your investments, reducing risk, and letting your money grow while you focus on building your life. Start small, stay consistent, and watch what happens in 10, 20, or 30 years. That’s real generational wealth.Mortgage vs. Rent: Owning the HQ<figure id="figure-sdvwnvldgim3nhgtot"><img id="sdvwnvldgim3nhgtot" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2epk2hU5f5XFvICcguoCys4WPL82ZCBhf6HJv1rmxzKv9UdgHREiQc2iBoNljtDB.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2epk2hU5f5XFvICcguoCys4WPL82ZCBhf6HJv1rmxzKv9UdgHREiQc2iBoNljtDB.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Now let’s talk about the “headquarters” of your life—your home. Renting has its perks, but let me paint this picture for you: owning a paid-off home means having a space that’s fully yours. No landlord, no rising rent, no limitations.Your home is more than a roof over your head. It’s where you can build memories, raise kids, host family dinners, or create a sanctuary for yourself. It’s where your life happens. And if you’ve got a mortgage, the goal is simple—pay it off. Imagine the freedom of living without that monthly bill. That’s next-level security.When you own your home, it’s not just a flex—it’s a statement: I’m building something permanent.Why This is the Real FlexThink about this lineup: mental health, financial literacy, legacy planning, and homeownership. That’s the blueprint for a life of stability and fulfillment.The flashy flexes fade over time, but this? This grows. Therapy gives you peace, trusts and wills protect your legacy, mutual funds grow your wealth, and a paid-off home gives you freedom.#GrownManStatus Isn’t Just a HashtagIt’s a lifestyle. It’s about owning your journey, your finances, and your future. It’s about creating a life that can support not just you but the people you love.If you’re reading this, it’s not too late to start. Therapy appointments, estate planning, investments, and homeownership might not be the easiest conversations, but they’re the most important.Let’s normalize making these moves—and let’s call it what it is: the ultimate flex.<figure id="figure-d7tjef0hc8m3nhcn7d" class=""><img id="d7tjef0hc8m3nhcn7d" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/29lwP0bQHxIzaL0hwCUTBlR1sboKw7sluETWNQXfv44TcKCadKbOUkF2vqMEC9nk.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/29lwP0bQHxIzaL0hwCUTBlR1sboKw7sluETWNQXfv44TcKCadKbOUkF2vqMEC9nk.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>#GrownManStatus | #LegacyBuilding | #TheFlex

Secure the Bag and Your Legacy: The Power of Planning Ahead

Why I Want All My Clients to Go to Toastmasters (and Beyond): The Ultimate Speaking Game Plan&nbsp;Hey, it’s Kellen here, and let’s talk about something that can completely level up your career, influence, and bank account: public speaking. If you’re one of my clients, you’ve probably already heard me say it—**you need to become a better speaker. Period.** I’m not saying you’re bad now, but there’s always room for growth, and I have a plan to turn you into a professional speaker who gets paid to talk and dominate every stage. &nbsp;Step 1: Toastmasters Your Speaking Gym&nbsp;&nbsp; Toastmasters is like the gym for your speaking muscles. I need you to attend weekly or biweekly for at least **four months.** Why? Because Toastmasters does more than just make you a better speaker—it builds confidence, improves your delivery, and makes sure you don’t sound like you’re giving a boring PowerPoint presentation. You’ll learn how to own the room, handle Q&amp;As like a boss, and make people actually want to listen to you.&nbsp;This is the foundation. Without it, we can’t move forward. So grab that schedule, find a local group, and get to work.&nbsp;Step 2: National Speakers Association: Learn to Get Paid&nbsp; After about six months of Toastmasters, it’s time to graduate to the National Speakers Association (NSA). This is where the real magic happens—they teach you how to get paid for what you say. NSA is the Harvard of speaking organizations. You’ll learn everything from crafting your signature talk to marketing yourself as a professional speaker.&nbsp;Pro Tip: Paid gigs don’t just fall into your lap; you have to be strategic. NSA gives you the playbook on how to turn your passion into profit. And trust me, once you get that first speaking check, you’ll never want to stop.&nbsp;Step 3: Pitching for TEDx and Big Opportunities&nbsp;&nbsp; Once you’ve sharpened your skills and built your confidence, it’s time to aim for the big leagues. We’ll pitch for TEDx talks and other similar opportunities. Why? Because TEDx is like the Oscars of public speaking—it adds credibility and gives you a platform to reach millions.&nbsp;But here’s the catch: You need to be ready. TEDx isn’t for amateurs; it’s for people who have mastered their craft. That’s why Toastmasters and NSA come first. Once you’re polished, we’ll make sure your pitch stands out and gets you on that red dot.&nbsp;Bonus Moves: Books, Courses, and YouTube&nbsp; Here’s where things get exciting. Being a great speaker isn’t just about standing on stage; it’s about creating multiple streams of income. If you let us help you publish a book, you’ll always have something to sell at events—paid or not. Pair that with online courses, and now you’ve got a way to make money even while you sleep.&nbsp;Oh, and don’t forget YouTube. We can help you monetize your channel, turning your speaking engagements into evergreen content that keeps paying you over time. This isn’t just about being a speaker; it’s about building a personal brand that thrives on and off the stage.&nbsp;Why This Works This plan isn’t just for fun (though we’ll have plenty of that too). It’s about setting you up to succeed in every aspect of your speaking career. You’ll improve your communication skills, gain credibility, and create income streams that last a lifetime. Whether it’s paid gigs, selling books, or building an online audience, you’ll have the tools to dominate.&nbsp;Expand Your Reach: Essential Organizations and Resources for Content Creators Beyond attending major events, serious content creators should also invest in organizations and programs that refine their craft, elevate their presence, and maximize their opportunities. Here are some key resources every content creator should consider:Specialized Conferences and Organizations In addition to general content creation events, creators should explore niche opportunities through organizations like:NACA (National Association for Campus Activities) APCA (Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities) Campus Speaks IACLEA (International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators) COCA (Canadian Organization of Campus Activities) League for Innovation in the Community College EDUCAUSE These organizations provide unique opportunities to showcase your work to campuses, educational institutions, and other specialized audiences.&nbsp;How Coleman Public Relations &amp; Consulting Firm Can Help At Coleman Public Relations &amp; Consulting Firm LLC (CPRFirm.com), we specialize in helping content creators navigate these opportunities. Whether it’s securing gigs, crafting pitches, or preparing you for campus circuits, we ensure that serious creators with a budget don’t have to spend a decade figuring it all out themselves.&nbsp;What We Offer Tailored strategies for joining organizations like NACA, APCA, or EDUCAUSE. Event preparation: From speech coaching to material creation. Networking support: access to contacts and resources to build your brand.Final Thoughts Let me be blunt (with love): If you’re not willing to invest in improving your speaking skills, you’re leaving money—and opportunity—on the table. This plan works, but it requires effort. Toastmasters gives you the basics, NSA shows you how to get paid, and TEDx and similar stages put you on the map.&nbsp;So, are you ready to become a full-time, paid speaker? Let’s get to work—and remember, the mic isn’t just a tool; it’s your ticket to the life you want. Let’s make it happen.<figure id="figure-d4ba0yvhrm3mcn3ux" class=""><img id="d4ba0yvhrm3mcn3ux" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/22oTAqYpvN2ckEGj2N3whHQvX32u7EecPPhraWLcTqMIhDalASFLAfOpHikW7uyu.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="Share your Story Now!" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/22oTAqYpvN2ckEGj2N3whHQvX32u7EecPPhraWLcTqMIhDalASFLAfOpHikW7uyu.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Share your story now!</figcaption></figure>

As an entrepreneur, it reminded me that in today’s information age, we can all learn from how these nations prioritize health, love, and success. Kellen. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; How Often Do People Visit The Doctor?When we think about health and longevity, we often look at healthcare systems and diets, but there’s so much more to the story. The top five countries where people visit the doctor most often—South Korea, Japan, Slovakia, Germany, and Hungary—offer valuable insights into how lifestyle, relationships, and even entrepreneurship can impact life expectancy and overall well-being. Let’s explore what makes these countries thrive and what lessons we can apply to our own lives. 1. South Korea: The Longevity LeaderLife Expectancy: 83.6 yearsMarriage: Family and marriage are central to South Korean culture. Strong family ties encourage healthier habits, like regular doctor visits and nutritious meals. Marriage often serves as a support system for maintaining health.<figure id="figure-j570074wjnm3lz5x6o" class=""><img id="j570074wjnm3lz5x6o" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2132005794/photo/asian-woman-and-black-man-looking-at-laptop-screen.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=S6mTZ9k7vjALx-VLOe8KYtSKsAeOOMJq7GXkMWj1uyA=" alt="Asian Woman And Black Man Looking At Laptop Screen" title="Asian Woman And Black Man Looking At Laptop Screen" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2132005794/photo/asian-woman-and-black-man-looking-at-laptop-screen.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=S6mTZ9k7vjALx-VLOe8KYtSKsAeOOMJq7GXkMWj1uyA=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure>Diet: South Korea’s diet, rich in fermented foods like kimchi and seafood, promotes gut health and reduces inflammation. This traditional diet is a cornerstone of their long life expectancy.Entrepreneurship: South Korea’s culture supports small businesses and innovation, with a safety net of universal healthcare that ensures entrepreneurs prioritize their health.Sex: While conversations around sexual health remain somewhat taboo, South Korea’s frequent doctor visits likely help address sexual health needs indirectly through routine care.<figure id="figure-9f3fr58kdbm3lz9k76" class=""><img id="9f3fr58kdbm3lz9k76" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/183024518/photo/multicultural-family.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=qMQVdAsOl1Occ2yPlbtoNZc_9reJcO8S4gmWToXI8bQ=" alt="Multicultural Family" title="Multicultural Family" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/183024518/photo/multicultural-family.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=qMQVdAsOl1Occ2yPlbtoNZc_9reJcO8S4gmWToXI8bQ=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Key Takeaway: A preventive mindset, strong family ties, and affordable healthcare drive South Korea’s exceptional health outcomes.2. Japan: A Model of BalanceLife Expectancy: 84.8 years (the highest globally)Marriage: Like South Korea, marriage and family are highly valued, creating a culture of support that enhances physical and mental health.Diet: Japan’s diet focuses on fish, rice, seaweed, and vegetables.

Slovakia: A Rising Star in HealthLife Expectancy: 77.2 yearsMarriage: Marriage rates in Slovakia remain relatively high, with family playing a key role in promoting healthier lifestyles and regular doctor visits.Diet: Traditional Slovak cuisine, while hearty, includes natural ingredients like potatoes, cabbage, and lean meats. Recent shifts toward healthier eating habits have contributed to better health outcomes.<figure id="figure-5z9aly2hrfm3lzg2o8" class=""><img id="5z9aly2hrfm3lzg2o8" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/497277304/photo/traditional-polish-easter-soup-zurek.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=jkdybU0T7neJ7pl8BhsnXGsnrwHdZLyChOEiKU9awxg=" alt="Traditional polish Easter soup Zurek" title="Traditional polish Easter soup Zurek" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/497277304/photo/traditional-polish-easter-soup-zurek.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=jkdybU0T7neJ7pl8BhsnXGsnrwHdZLyChOEiKU9awxg=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Entrepreneurship: Entrepreneurship is growing, but high stress and financial uncertainty can impact mental and physical health.

Hungary: Balancing Tradition and Modern HealthLife Expectancy: 76.5 yearsMarriage: Marriage rates in Hungary are rising, often linked to financial incentives and cultural values, which encourage stable family units and healthier lifestyles.Diet: Hungary’s diet is traditionally rich in meats and dairy, but public health campaigns are encouraging more balanced eating habits to combat chronic diseases.Entrepreneurship: Hungary is becoming a hub for startups, and while healthcare is affordable, high stress among entrepreneurs highlights the need for work-life balance.<figure id="figure-2qw37okvnhm3lzo28j" class=""><img id="2qw37okvnhm3lzo28j" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1730652770/photo/hungarian-forints-hungary-money-banknotes-and-coins-financial-and-economic-concept.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=Ls1rfvjvVktZS401IWPH8vkY1HCnMcS95Rdt4di-pIw=" alt="Hungarian forints, Hungary money, banknotes and coins, financial and economic concept" title="Hungarian forints, Hungary money, banknotes and coins, financial and economic concept" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1730652770/photo/hungarian-forints-hungary-money-banknotes-and-coins-financial-and-economic-concept.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=Ls1rfvjvVktZS401IWPH8vkY1HCnMcS95Rdt4di-pIw=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Sex: Hungary has made strides in sexual health education, ensuring people can address these needs without stigma.Key Takeaway: Hungary’s focus on strengthening families and improving health education is helping its population live longer and healthier lives.How Does the U.S. Compare?The U.S. lags behind these countries in terms of life expectancy (77.2 years) and healthcare access, largely due to the high cost of healthcare and reliance on a reactive rather than preventive approach to health. Americans also face challenges with stress from entrepreneurship, less emphasis on marriage, and higher rates of diet-related chronic illnesses.Lessons for Healthier Living1. Prioritize Preventive Care: Countries like South Korea and Japan show that frequent doctor visits and early interventions save lives.2. Strengthen Relationships: Marriage and family support systems contribute to healthier habits and mental well-being.3. Focus on Diet: A balanced diet with whole, unprocessed foods is a common thread among the healthiest nations.4. Support Entrepreneurs: Affordable healthcare systems reduce stress and allow people to pursue business goals without compromising their health.5. Promote Sexual Health: Open access to sexual health education and services is vital for overall well-being.By adopting these principles, we can create a healthier society that values longevity, innovation, and happiness.
