  • K. Kenneth Davis, Founder/CEO, The Trans Capitalist
    Feb 6 2024

    MY STORY:
    As a black transgender financial literacy expert and data scientist, I quickly learned that financial literacy was not just a skill but a necessity for survival in a society not built to support my identity. Early in my career, I experienced the impact of economic discrimination and systemic poverty. 

    After achieving six figures, I lived paycheck to paycheck and was deep in debt. This ignited my passion for educating and empowering LGBTQIA+ individuals on the importance of money management by data analysis. 

    In 2015 I rebuilt my finances by devoting over 1,000+ hours in the library reading, analyzing, and applying all the money principles I have learned. But, seeing my LGBTQIA+ community fall into the same disastrous financial fate, I had to do something about it. 

    I did not see any black queer financial gurus in 2016, I founded my brand and company, "The Trans Capitalist." With a BS in Engineering, I then acquired my MS in Finance. Finally, in 2022, I studied to become a certified data scientist.

    Through "The Trans Capitalist," I help professionals, corporations, and colleges identifying as LGBTQIA+ empower themselves to manage their finances independently and free them from financial stress!

    MY EXPERTISE:
    I have helped 100+ clients:

    Increase their savings by a minimum of $35,000+. 

    Eliminate over $75,000+ of debt.

    Perform deep analysis to design custom strategic budget templates.

    Empower clients to become self-sufficient and break the cycle of generational poverty.

    Authored an affordable personal finance E-Workbook.

    MY UNIQUE APPROACH:
    Through a deep understanding that money management's mental and emotional aspects are more important than the financial principles themselves. 

    I specialize in placing a strong emphasis on the emotional relationship that my clients have with money. As a result, my clients achieve remarkable results on their journey to wealth by addressing this first. 

    WHAT I SPEAK ABOUT:
    The impact of capitalism on the LGBTQIA+ community and defenses against capitalism through financial literacy

    Changing money rules from the past to adapt to today's economic climate

    Healing financial trauma and gaining financial independence

    WHO I WORK WITH:
    I work with individuals, corporations, and communities interested in embracing their financial power and breaking the cycle of hindering money patterns.

    I design action-oriented workshops and curriculums for organizations to help end financial illiteracy in the LGBTQIA+ community. 

    Would you like me to speak at your next event, podcast, or conference?

    Great tips for diverse business owners - Have you ever googled or searched yourself? Rethink how you approach transactional relationships. Is it worth the effort?

  • Dr. Hope Zoeller, Founder and President, HOPE (Helping Other People Excel), llc
    Dec 12 2023

    Listen as Dr. Hope Zoeller shares the WHY behind her newest book release Hope for Leaders in the 2020's.

    Heralded as “an exceptional collection ... that will inspire you to become the leader your organization truly needs you to be,” HOPE for Leaders in the 2020s is the unrivaled guidebook for leading in the “now  normal” of a post-pandemic world.

    Brilliant Glimpses of the “Why” and the “How To” of Modern Leadership in the 2020s

    When 2022 dawned, it was clear to professionals of all types that the world had shifted on its axis – not, this time, because of another viral pandemic (i.e., not with the novel crises and unexpected business shutdowns we’d endured in 2020-2021), but with the “hereafter” realities of a world forever changed by the lessons, traumas, innovations, and culture shifts of the era we’d just survived. Now what?

    Many of the answers to modern leaders’ most pressing new questions lie in the pages of HOPE for Leaders in the 2020s, the second volume in The HOPE for Leaders Unabridged Series. Open your mind to the possibility of building and adapting your leadership skills for a new era -- and for a workforce with newly articulated needs -- by digging deep into the stories, tips, frameworks, and practical exercises of a book that was written for this decade and beyond. In the chapters of HOPE for Leaders in the 2020s, leadership experts Dr. Hope Zoeller and Dr. Joe DeSensi – in collaboration with esteemed book contributors from corporate America and academia – offer new ways to think about and address contemporary business issues, including leadership mindsets, project management, organizational culture, and workplace communications.

    Learn how to improve your own skills, and those of your teams, in regard to:

    • Motivating and connecting with remote workers
    • New metrics of success that measure what truly matters
    • Workplace curiosity and servant leadership
    • Leader self-care during high-stress situations
    • The vital role of followership in our companies and careers
    • Project management practices for effective meetings
    • Creating early-warning systems to head off crisis
    • Organizational adaptation after crisis
    • Never letting a “lesson learned” be forgotten
    • Harnessing “productive worry”
    • Creating a culture of feedback
    • Communicating with your listener in mind
    • Adopting a growth mindset
    • Becoming an empathetic and proactive communicator


    In this practical leadership anthology, Zoeller and DeSensi offer a powerful “how to get out of the pandemic” guidebook for leaders at any level (i.e., executives, managers, individual contributors), with immensely practical, accessible, insightful, and timely ideas for how you can leverage the strengths you honed during the pandemic and mitigate the impact of what didn’t go so well.

    A book that is particularly popular with manufacturing, nonprofit, healthcare, insurance/finance, and education (K-12 and higher education) professionals, but accessible to all readers in any industry, HOPE for Leaders in the 2020s comes complete with individual and team exercises, assessments, and other practical tools.


    With key insights by Dr. Hope Zoeller and Dr. Joe DeSensi, and contributions by Dr. William Denny, Joe Hanna, Iam Bennett, and Dr. Robin Hinkle.

    "The go-to resource guide for leaders who want to build the new muscle required to navigate challenging and uncertain

    Episode Summary - Do you bring God into your business? 

    About

    I have been given the gift to go into any business and strategically make it run effectively and efficiently through my corporate and entrepreneurship experience. Collaborating with dignitaries, C-Level executives, and small business owners has allowed me to see a full 360 view of how I can help them achieve the next level.

    I had the privilege to design the White House in 2015 for a special event and continue to do so nationally to bring a unique and warming effect to people's homes and professionals.

    As an author, high-impact teacher, and political campaign specialist I continue to be a revolutionary thinker and transformational leader. 

    I combine my wealth of leadership expertise with my depth of spiritual understanding to reveal life-transforming messages that empower and inspire. Seasoned with humor, compassion, revelatory insight, and personal candor, I open minds and touch hearts with biblically-based principles of inner healing and personal empowerment.

    Pulling on my background in government, corporate America, technology, and human development, I translate hard-hitting spiritual insights into everyday language that empowers individuals to transform their lives—helping change the path people take in search of meaning, dignity, purpose, and hope.
