Elizabeth Leiba

Learning about Black history changed my life and inspired me to become a social justice warrior. I'm passionate about creating resources to support, empower, and amplify Black women and their businesses. 

I recently published the book "I'm Not Yelling: A Black Woman's Guide to Navigating the Workplace," which has become a #1 New Release in Business Mentoring, Women in Business, and Coaching and Workplace Culture. It provides strategic guidance on how Black business women can succeed in a predominantly white corporate America. 

Additionally, I was featured in the 2020 New York Times article, "Black LinkedIn Is Thriving. Does LinkedIn Have a Problem With That?", which motivated me to launch my own online e-learning platform - the Black History & Culture Academy - for which I was named a LinkedIn TOP VOICE in Education in 2020.

Podcast Host

Host of Black Power Moves, a weekly deep dive podcast that is part of the Ebony Covering Black America Podcast Network. Episodes inform about Black culture, empowerment, entrepreneurship, and history.  

The podcast format exemplifies a casual, get-to-know-you conversation, rather than an interview. This  expresses the mission and goals, which are simply to amplify the voices of Black people across the Diaspora.

To that end, there are no prepared questions, to recreate the tradition of oral storytelling through a historical African lens. Guests tell their own stories in a way that feels comfortable and natural, with the host guiding the conversation in the framework of an authentic, culturally sensitive and relevant narrative that has a goal to amplify Black voices and inspire, educate and motivate listeners. 

Guests include Black tech leaders, college presidents, community leaders, trail blazing business and social entrepreneurs, educators, and cultural icons.

Notable Guests Include: 
- Qaadirah Abdur-Rahim, the City of Atlanta’s Chief Equity Officer
- April Walker, General Manager of the US Microsoft Technology Centers
- Glenn Woods, Senior Brand Social Media Manager for Hulu
- Kimberly Evans, Vice President for JP Morgan Chase & Company

I've been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember. 

In 1989, my family and I escaped a war torn Iran to a refugee camp in Erlangen, Germany. That's when I got my first entrepreneur gig. I negotiated with the owner of a local swimming pool to get paid 10 Pfennig per beer bottle I brought back to the owner, as a way of cleaning up after people who were getting drunk by the pool. 

In my 20's, after honorably discharging from the US Army at the 101st Airborne division, I got into financial services with Morgan Stanley Dean Witter a day before 9/11. I went from a regular advisor to running a multi million dollar a year business by 2009 with Transamerica. That's when I decided to start a financial firm, marketing retirement and life insurance products to families. With our unique marketing approach, we've now grown from 66 agents out of one office in Northridge, California to over 12,000 agents in nearly 49 states. 

My passions are reading books, politics, philosophy and startup entrepreneurship. 

I'm the host of "Valuetainment", the #1 channel on youtube for Entrepreneurs with 1.7 million subscribers with a few billion minutes watched.  

I host a 3 day conference once a year called the VAULT where CEO's, Founders and Entrepreneurs from around the world come to identify their next 15 moves. If you haven't attended once, click on the link below to get more details about the event.

Interviewing David Walker, the former Comptroller General of US

The most interesting interview I've ever done.

It's always great to see entrepreneurs encouraging others to start their own businesses.

Interviewed on Fox News by Glenn Beck

I'm a father of 3 amazing children, Charlotte and Kate, and Seth, the husband to an amazing business partner, Carrie Kerpen, and friend to many. I'm a serial entrepreneur (on company #5), NY Times bestselling author (4 books for far) and speaker. I've been writing here on LinkedIn for 6 years, so I've amassed a pretty incredible community of 680,000+ people. Welcome to the "family"! 

In my day job, I'm the cofounder and coCEO of Apprentice, a platform that connects entrepreneurs with the top 5% brightest, hardest working college students in the world, the cofounder and CEO of Remembering.Live / Celebrating.Live, a virtual memorial services & corporate celebrations company we started in 2020 following my mom's passing away, an investor through Kerpen Ventures, and a writer. 

Following my sponsored wedding which raised over $100,000 including $20K for charity, my wife Carrie and I started and built theKBuzz (founded in 2007) into Likeable Media, the only 3-time WOMMY Award winner for excellence from the Word of Mouth Marketing Association (WOMMA) and one of the 500 fastest growing private companies in the US according to INC Magazine for 4 consecutive years. We sold the company to global digital transformation firm 10Pearls in March of 2021. 

As one of Entrepreneur Magazine's top 10 up and coming leaders, I have been featured on the Today Show, CNBC’s “On the Money”, BBC, ABC World News Tonight, the CBS Early Show, the New York Times, and countless blogs. I have also keynoted at dozens of conferences across the globe including Singapore, Athens, Dubai, San Francisco, Cologne, Toronto, Bangkok, and Mexico City. 

I am an investor, advisor and mentor to many and enjoying serving others. 

My 1st book was a NY Times bestseller - Likeable Social Media (Now in its 3rd edition). I followed up with 2 more books, Likeable Business & Likeable Leadership. My newest book, The Art of People: 11 Simple People Skills That Will Get You Everything You Want, is out now: http://buyartofpeople.com 

How can I help you?

"Dave Kerpen literally wrote the book on leadership. The co-founder and chairman of Likeable Media is the author of Likeable Business, a 2012 volume documenting the philosophies behind the growth of his New York City-based social media marketing firm, whose clients include GE, Adobe, Neutrogena, and Verizon.

Kerpen launched Likeable Media in 2007 with his wife, Carrie, who took over as CEO in early 2013 to allow Dave to focus on expanding Likeable Local, a software platform that offers social media tools optimized for small businesses. The platform boasts more than 500 customers and a monthly run rate in excess of $1.2 million, an evolution Kerpen attributes to its adherence to cornerstone principles like listening and responsiveness. "Those are key principles not only for social media, but also for all great leaders and businesses," he says. "The old-school, top-down way of doing business no longer works.""Social media has made business more transparent than ever before," says Kerpen. "The challenge facing successful leaders is being more open to this new world we live in. They must be more authentic, more vulnerable and more grateful."

Kerpen's philosophy venerates the golden rule of leadership: "By showing others the same courtesy you expect from them, you will gain more respect from co-workers, customers and business partners." He extends that further with what he calls "the platinum rule": "Do unto others as they would want done to them." In other words, put yourself in the position of colleagues, partners or clients to better understand their perspectives.

"Companies take on the character of their leaders. If you create a cutthroat, competitive environment, people are going to follow that model," Kerpen says. "I believe that long-term success and happiness are more correlated to the values I write about. Authenticity and vulnerability don't necessarily drive you to the top, but they do make it a lot easier to sleep at night." --J.A.

Cofounder and CRO 

Brandylane Publishers, Inc.

Co-authored with popular Black musician Lindsay Brockington, Normal is a middle grad fiction book that's received rave reviews for its authenticity, inclusiveness and message about what's really important: 

Life for four middle schoolers in New York City can be tough. David's dad has bipolar disorder. Alexa's new stepmother will never be able to fill her mom's shoes. Tiffany's dad acts like he'd rather be at the bar than at home with his family. And Albert's got a family secret he can't even tell his best friend.

All these four strangers want is to be normal, but it seems like they're cursed to be outcasts no matter how hard they try. That is until they hear about a special school on New York City's Upper East Side that's meant for kids who stand out.

Thanks to a lot of hard work, their new school, a magical teacher, and each other, these four misfits soon find that being different makes them something much better than normal. . . . It makes them friends.

We understand the roadblocks that can make this seem impossible—frontline healthcare professionals are often under-supported or undervalued commensurate to their contributions, often overworked and underpaid, and face increasingly difficult working conditions. We are here to connect like-minded professionals with each other and with expert resources and content to provide the support and care every frontline healthcare professional deserves.

Our team recognizes the need for a better support system for nurses and advanced practice providers. This is why we created Florence Health, an online resources and social networking platform (Huddle) geared towards empowering nurses to share insights and experiences, connect, learn, collaborate, and support one another. What’s more: we want to help you take better care of each other and yourself.
