Exciting Changes Coming to Offline & Unfiltered!
<p>TLDR; We're taking a break to do some cool stuff! We'll be back with a shiny new <strong>Season 2</strong> later in 2025.</p><p><br></p><p>It's been an incredible year building Offline & Unfiltered, and we feel so so lucky to have such great fanbase and platform to have thought-provoking conversations and a lot of laughs.</p><p><br></p><p>That said, we need to walk our own talk. We have learned a ton this past year, and we're going to apply some of those lessons to change the podcast for the better. Some things you can expect:</p><ul><li><strong>Shorter episodes! </strong>We'll be experimenting with ~45 interview driven episodes and ~20 minute advice driven episodes. We want to make our episodes easier to slot into your day.</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Season Format!</strong> We'll now do seasons rather than biweekly episodes year round. We feel this is the best way to deliver you the best quality content while also staying on top of our jobs and lives.</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Patreon! </strong>We are completely independent and want to remain <strong>ad free. </strong>We plan to set up a Patreon to help us pay for all the tools we use and support we receive, as well as working towards a bigger goal of renting recording studio space. Your support would mean the world to us.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>We're also exploring marketing help, because Lakisha and Megan hate social media.</p><p><br></p><p>All that said, <strong>we're taking a break!</strong> We'll be back later in 2025 with our new format and more Offline & Unfiltered conversations.</p><p><br></p><p>Have a topic you'd love to hear us cover? Know someone who would be an interesting guest? Want to chat with us about marketing support? Want to send us positive vibes? Email us! info@offlineandunfiltered.com</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you for an incredible year,</p><p>Lakisha & Megan</p><br /><br />We are an independently run podcast.

E17: Changing Where You Are For Who You Are with Kenyetta Hall
<p><em>"If you cannot be who you are where you are, you change where you are, not who you are.” — Caroline Wanga</em></p><p><br></p><p>We're excited to welcome Kenyetta Hall back for one of our deepest conversations to date, the complexities of navigating corporate America as a black woman. Lakisha has wanted to have this conversation for sometime now, and we knew Kenyetta would be a great counterpart to this important conversation.</p><p>As a reminder for our listeners, Kenyetta is an entrepreneur and strategic consultant who specializes in helping businesses bridge the gap between vision and execution. With her company, The Katalyst HQ, she focuses on business strategy, digital product development, and leadership development, offering services like strategic planning, software development, and product management.</p><p>We covered a broad range of topics, from dealing with poor leaders to code switching, and got into spaces that may make some uncomfortable. We also laughed a ton and had a great time. Our biggest takeaway is the reminder that not every company or job may be for you, and that's ok. Go find the place that is.</p><p>As always, we have these conversations to give our listeners a new perspective and humanize the workplace. We hope folks from all background take away from valuable nuggets from this conversation.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with our Guest:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenyettahall/" rel="nofollow">Kenyetta Hall LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="https://www.thekatalysthq.com/" rel="nofollow">The Katalyst HQ</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources For Listeners:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1400226236?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_FPA32D252EAQCFD86W21" rel="nofollow">The Diversity Gap: Where Good Intentions Meet True Cultural Change</a> - Bethaney Wilkinson </p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/DEI-Deconstructed-No-Nonsense-Guide-Doing/dp/B0BK7WNRSK?crid=10R9X85BMRZ03&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.w6CY3XEj9wxg-ksZdiCsfdQ7JJb9UKCtdSAjXD4f93fe_2E8auUhVI1iNey3D4OgJbqP4H6wFi01LZGJ7TOmyqKMv133mBwszFdO3JmLSeFHXRR02nC6_3ywX0uliWyO3LsRgL8HGV76zIPY3WlwlHKNhvFJL5BMs0fnHdfFqqtKYybnCEdRKpH-1B4m8Dkm04eK--c1-_eD7Oho_EsWPv7lGfuMYKhOan8TvmqZ9cE.uKD_FNi7i-KVlVYU3hYtLCWK56H8osa523it_FvZlWU&dib_tag=se&keywords=DEI+deconstructed&qid=1731962358&s=books&sprefix=dei+deconstructed%2Cstripbooks%2C165&sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">DEI Deconstructed</a> - Lily Zhang</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Inclusive-Organization-Solutions-Impactful-Meaningful/dp/1119910137?crid=23WIVB3YOBRUY&keywords=The+Inclusive+Organization%3A+Real+Solutions%2C+Impactful+Change%2C+and+Meaningful+Diversity&language=en_US&linkCode=sl1&linkId=2a234c52a5db59c990151a274d2d3b10&qid=1696389204&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&sprefix=the+inclusive+organization+real+solutions%2C+impactful+change%2C+and+meaningful+diversity%2Caps%2C325&sr=8-1&tag=projectmanagementbooks09-20" rel="nofollow">The Inclusive Organization</a> - Netta Jenkins</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Ally-Stronger-Workplace/dp/B09PGRWBB1?crid=329K7W4GHRCUJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Zc3evexRe6J6sjo2H9YiOg.93JXPBvG_rnr6LhUuBm_6ibrW3Sozs-JK0K2Gfh5cJc&dib_tag=se&keywords=How+to+Be+an+Ally%3A+Actions+You+Can+Take+for+a+Stronger%2C+Happier+Workplace%E2%80%9D&qid=1731962593&sprefix=how+to+be+an+ally+actions+you+can+take+for+a+stronger%2C+happier+workplace+%2Caps%2C182&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">How to Be an Ally: Actions You Can Take for a Stronger, Happier Workplace</a> - Melinda Briana Epler </p><br /><br />We are an independently run podcast.
