Hosted by Ehis Akhetuamhen, who arrived in America at 17 with $150 and an accent he was afraid would make people doubt his ideas. From KPMG to Goldman Sachs to Google, he learned what it costs to stay silent — and what becomes possible when you don't. Because the world needs your voice. Subscribe so you never miss an episode.

   Ep 31: Breaking Into Elite Rooms

   Lance Bennett, Senior Coach and Engagement Lead at Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) and founder of L.E.B. Partners, joins Ehis to discuss how to break into elite rooms without becoming someone else. Drawing from his journey across banking, admissions, leadership development, MLT, and Kellogg, Lance shares how underrepresented and nontraditional professionals can make their value visible, navigate unwritten rules, and stay grounded in their values. This episode explores mentorship, belonging, MBA admissions, the PIE framework of performance, image, and exposure, and why the goal is not only to enter elite rooms, but to create rooms of our own.

   Ep 29: Building Career Insurance in the Age of AI

   Jennifer Aikoroje, CPA, Finance Program Manager at Microsoft and host of Inside Your Finance podcast, joins Ehis to talk about building career insurance in the age of AI. Drawing from her personal journey, Jennifer shares her perspective on the Black Tax and why giving back to family belongs as a real line item in your budget, not a one-off decision every time someone calls. She breaks down which side hustles survive AI and which do not, and why the goal is not to fight AI, but to use it as a partner in building more options before you need them.
