HUSTLERS FOR A CAUSE

Hello and welcome back to Hustlers for a Cause Season 3!!! Starting us off this season is an incredibly inspirational story that will leave you determined to make your own impact. Social innovator, entrepreneur, and advocate for vulnerable children; Nicholas is a champion for future generations. While working in Tijuana, Mexico, Sandoval came to the realization that while the orphanages he was volunteering at provided shelter, safety, and sustenance for the children in its walls. The long term benefits were nonexistent for these children to be set up for healthy lives. Threadbare clothes, old plastic toys- loved one day and broken the next, and three processed meals a day were the reality for these children.    Nicholas wanted more.  He wanted to give these kids a hand up in life, not just another hand out.    He realized that these children, if given the opportunity, had the potential to flourish into productive individuals as adults. The opportunities though were lacking. Before long, Nicholas left his company to work full time for “Create Purpose.” An organization that focuses on being a positive and formative experience for orphaned children. His model completely breaks the mold of what people expect from a charity that works with orphans in other parts of the world. It starts with basic nutrition, learning how to garden, eat well and make healthier choices. If a child can move through this program successfully ( meeting certain criteria and milestones) they are invited to begin learning how to use computers.    Not just your basic on and off, typing as fast as possible and how to sign into your gmail account. This course also shows you how to program, and work that is commonplace nowadays like excel and outlook. The idea is to open more doors than ever before; and they’re seeing results.

This week's episode of “Hustlers for a Cause” has an incredible conversation with activist, PR mogul, and entrepreneur Tracy Lamourie. Join us as we delve into the causes that drive her to create a better world, and just what she thinks others should be doing in order to achieve it.    Everyone has something they are passionate about. A topic that energizes you to go out and change the world. For Tracy Lamourie it was a death penalty case regarding a young man named Jimmy Dennis. At 28 years old she and her husband fell into the spotlight thanks to their passion for abolishing the death penalty. Which they broadcasted on their radio show in Toronto Canada. Through the journey fighting to abolish the death penalty, save an innocent mans life, and give voices to those silenced. The Lamouries were led into the world of Public Relations and set off a career that would eventually span the globe. Lamourie Media, recently coined, has won accolades, awards, and attention all because of the solid foundation Lamourie laid when getting involved with the death penalty conversation. A foundation based on the strong sense that justice, fairness, and equality are basic rights to which everyone is entitled to have. Her senses most certainly have a track record for being correct, as Mr. Dennis was exonerated in 2017 after serving 25 years for a crime he didn’t commit. He is now back to recording and producing music thanks to the attention and dedication of people's passion for justice.    So join us today with an exclusive look into what can happen when you chose to follow your passion and where it can lead you too.    Connect with Tracy Lamourie-  Website- http://www.lamouriemedia.com/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/tracylamourieprmedia/   LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracylamourie Twitter- @LamourieMedia   Connect with Hustlers for a Cause: Visit our website: www.hustlersforacause.com Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/hustlersforacause Follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hustlers4acause Join our Facebook community: www.facebook.com/hustlersforacause/community Subscribe to our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCCJl0-Mxt3jcLle9_9TEfqA This episode is sponsored by BlabberJax!

The host of the wildly popular “Afterglow” radio show on iHeartRadio, has seen his fair share of struggles, failures and successes along the way.    From a segment that ran at maximum 15 mins in the afternoon, to a 3 hour morning must have; Gunn and his partners Nataly, and Eileen are in high demand every weekday morning. The glamor and success of Afterglow, hasn’t isolated Kris and his team from reality though. These individuals are incredibly conscientious of their success, and are constantly giving back in their communities. Due to Covid19, many Afterglow listeners across the nation were negatively impacted, causing the hosts to question how they could truly help their audience. This radio program stepped up and directly helped their listeners for months, connecting individuals who wrote in with programs and funds that could help alleviate the financial burdens many faced. All of this was done under the radar, and done only to help others.

This week's episode is a deep dive into Polymaths, individuals who embody the quote “Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.” Which our guest Dustin Miller has modeled his entire life and career around. Carving his own path is something Miller is familiar with, and the niche world he has carved out now has plenty of space and a well worn path for others to discover and follow.    Come with us as we tour the inspirations, motivations, and ideas behind Dustin’s PolyInnovator- a Omni-Support channel depicting his journey to becoming a polymath and the skills he’s picking up along the way. This endeavor stemmed from many years and frustrations of having so many platforms and modes of communication. Miller, like many polymaths and go-getters, took matters into his own hands and created the space he had dreamed of for years. The self-teaching tool has enabled Miller and his followers access to hundreds of videos, guides, and other documentation of the learning processes that he experienced.    This entire project is based off of a simple premise, and that premise is that “Power of Choice is Key” to anyone's success. Driven forward by the desire to become a better individual, Miller has been pushing boundaries for decades and shows no signs of slowing down. After building his own computer at age ten, it may seem like this bogging guru has continued to build his life and pursue progress at every turn.   So dive into this episode and learn how human nature is inherently polymathic, and how our problems can be solved in surprising ways.    Notable Quotes:   “Polymathic is human nature. Some more than others like da vinci are super polymaths. Many of us are polymaths without even realizing it.” Dustin Miller   “If you can “cross pollinate” with the knowledge and innovation of other areas of expertise you already have. You can overcome and blow past the roadblock. It may seem circular but it ends up becoming the way to grow in different categories.”   “#makeachange - wants to help the world become a type 1 civilization- our species is lame and choosing the wrong items to focus on.”   “Strategyx automation.x execution= success”   Where to Support Dustin Miller:    https://polyinnovator.space/ https://pod.co/polycast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8CiDSb1peL5f8XD45ErmnQ   Where to Support Hustlers for a Cause: Visit our website: www.hustlersforacause.com Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/hustlersforacause Follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hustlers4acause Join our Facebook community: www.facebook.com/hustlersforacause/community Subscribe to our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCCJl0-Mxt3jcLle9_9TEfqA   This episode is sponsored by BlabberJax!

Welcome back to part two of our exclusive interview with entrepreneur and climate change activist James McWalter. In our first episode two weeks ago we got an inside look into a fascinating field that has rapidly grown within the past few decades as our impact as humans becomes more apparent. One result of the negative human impact is carbon emissions. Tons, and tons, and tons of carbon emissions. Clouding the atmosphere, causing temperature, ecological and oceanic changes that will ultimately destroy life as we know it.    That's where James comes in. Inspired by the impending problems facing down humanity, James created a goal to help reduce 1 gigaton of carbon in our atmosphere. That’s essentially 1/40th of all carbon that is in Earths’ atmosphere. The current plan to achieve this goal is through restructuring our agricultural practices through a technique called regenerative agriculture.    Join us as we discuss how Facebook plays a large role in farmers communication, planning and communities. Why so many in this crucial circle become defensive about farming practices and their contributions to potential change. James’s advice on how to become a carbon reducing consumer with your foods in easy steps (spoiler alert- red meat is NOT off the menu); and how you as an entrepreneur, aspiring business person, and passion follower can structure your priorities.  https://www.jamesmcwalter.com/about https://carbotnic.com/  Visit our website: www.hustlersforacause.com Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/hustlersforacause Follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hustlers4acause Join our Facebook community: www.facebook.com/hustlersforacause/community Subscribe to our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCCJl0-Mxt3jcLle9_9TEfqA   This episode is sponsored by BlabberJax!
