Founder. Operator. Investor. Educator. No matter the role, I’ve always believed in trusting your instincts and never outsourcing your judgment.
 
That mindset has led me down an unconventional path from poverty to investor. I grew up in Queens, hawking flowers on street corners and working at McDonald’s to help put food on the table. On a mission to transcend poverty as fast as possible, I dropped out of high school at 16 to work full-time and enroll in college early.
 
Over the next decade, I earned a law degree from Fordham at night and began a career as the youngest press secretary in NYC history, where I helped manage the global press response to 9/11.
 
I went on to be an executive for two NFL teams, found/invest in some of the most dynamic brands through RSE Ventures, and become a guest shark on ABC’s Shark Tank (seasons 10-11) as well as an executive fellow at Harvard Business School, where I co-teach "Moving Beyond Direct-to-Consumer." 
 
Always looking to meet great founders and the people who invest in them.

Happy birthday, my sister Goddess Matula  ❤️ She is kind and loyal.

BIG ANOUNCEMENT 📣😇❤️

100 Women, 100 Stories: Changing the World with Kindness and Courage

We are creating a century book, a once-in-a-generation collection of stories that heal, break, rebuild, and inspire. 

More than one hundred women are opening their lives with honesty, resilience, and courage.

This is not just a book.
It is a movement. A legacy.

We are seeking a sponsor to fund the publishing costs.

None of us are seeking profit.
All proceeds will go to women’s charities. ❤️

If you want to stand behind something powerful and world-shaping, comment below and our project lead will reach out to you.

This is more than sponsorship, 
it is your chance to help bring a century-defining book to life. 🙌

TAG People to this Post!!! 😇

I only fit 65 ladies here but we are 106 now 😜😂❤️👩❤️ How diverse list 😎🔥❤️❤️❤️👩

I’m not ready to write a memoir. 

My past is too heavy, too tragic, and I’m not ready to open those doors. Even thinking about it breaks my heart.

But I had a better idea. You know my books are best sellers. We can make this book so so BIG!❤️❤️❤️❤️

I want to write a book that celebrates 100 women — including pieces of my own story — women with strength, pain, kindness, survival, fire, softness… all of it.

If you’re a woman with a story the world needs to hear, or if you know one, tag her.

Tag yourself.
Tag your mother.
Tag your sister.
Tag your best friend.

This book will be for us — for the women who lived through things quietly and still stayed kind.

If you want to share your story, you can DM me or email me at leadershipup1@gmail.com.

All profits will go to charity, like St. Jude — we will decide the final organization together.

Are you in?
Let’s build something beautiful for the world. 💛

The Top 100 Most Influential Men of 2025 has officially been announced! 👏🎉🎉

Today, we’re celebrating International Men’s Day by revealing the Top 100 list — selected from over 9,000 nominees.

These are your choices… 💕

But honestly, I’ll admit—I cheated on about five percent of it. 😜
I had to sneak in a few of my personal favorites. I’m only human. 😄

This day is about honoring the men who showed up, stayed strong, supported others, grew, evolved, and kept their character steady even when life pushed hard. ❤️ I adore kind people, yes respect kind men a lot.👏

I can’t tag all 100 names here, but every single one will be listed in the comments, so no one is overlooked.

And yes… I’m fair.
We celebrated Women’s Day this year, and we’ll celebrate again in 2026. Balance always. 💕

Since some of my followers are in Australia and India, we’re posting this early. And those in Europe and the USA will wake up happy 😊

Tag the men who deserve to be seen.
Let the fun begin — big energy, big appreciation, big love.

Happy International Men’s Day, gentlemen. 🙌
