What do you do if you\u2019re the guy who owes money to the Korean Mafia? Or the one who realizes he\u2019s got to escape an uber-religious cult?<\/span><\/p>\n

What if you\u2019re the gal who grew up on a farm and finds herself living in her car and working for free?<\/span><\/p>\n

You try these three steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/h3>\n

\n
1. Take charge and transform yourself into a force for good in your own life. <\/span>\n

   <\/span><\/li>\n

2. Build an uber-successful business that\u2019s socially conscious.<\/span><\/li>\n
3. 
   \n<\/span> Launch a podcast to share with the world how you did it, so others can do it, too.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   That\u2019s what Britnie Turner and Jerremy Alexander Newsome, the two entrepreneurs behind the <\/span>Broke to Woke<\/span><\/i> podcast, decided to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   And they exemplify a recurring theme in their show: how to keep it all together when everything around you seems to be falling apart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   They\u2019re real, raw, and relatable. Whatever your own challenges, you\u2019ll identify with the stories they share around the following questions and topics:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

   * What happens when the worst happens? You lose everything; your business crashes\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   and burns; and you have no idea where to even begin to rebuild\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

   * How do you deal with haters and legal disputes that suck your time and drain your\u00a0<\/span>energy?<\/span><\/p>\n

   * When heartbreak happens, how do you keep moving forward and find what\u2019s next.<\/span><\/p>\n

   * Can you build a company that\u2019s both profitable and has a positive effect on people and\u00a0<\/span>the planet? And how the heck do you measure that \u201ctriple bottom line\u201d as a social\u00a0<\/span>entrepreneur?<\/span><\/p>\n

   * What\u2019s the secret to living your purpose and staying true to your mission and your\u00a0<\/span>values while building a wildly successful business that makes an impact?<\/span><\/p>\n

   But with topics that \u201cbig\u201d to tackle, you might be wondering\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   Who are these two relative youngsters? And what qualifies them to dish out business and life advice?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   In a word, experience.<\/span><\/h3>\n

   Britnie might have been living in her car at one point in life, but today, she\u2019s the powerhouse behind the Aerial brand. Her mission is to utilize capitalism as a force for good while focusing on that triple bottom line: people, planet, and profit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   Jerremy learned plenty from owing the mafia money. With a seven-figure business of his own, he\u2019s now a pioneer in <\/span>\u201cfiscal therapy.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   While money and therapy definitely do seem to fit together, I hadn\u2019t seen that particular phrase before, so I just had to ask. Jerremy\u2019s explanation: he\u2019s on a mission to reshape our thoughts, beliefs, and ideals around money\u2026 and literally wrote a book called <\/span>Money Grows on Trees<\/span><\/i>. (You\u2019re already off and mentally searching Amazon, yeah?)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   I\u2019m not exaggerating even a little bit to say Britnie and Jerremy have had some <\/span>crazy<\/span><\/i> experiences along the way to success and happiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   That path is what they\u2019re itching to share: the journey, the ups and downs, the pitfalls to watch out for, and the smart moves you can make, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

   They\u2019re not satisfied with their own success. Their mission and inspiration for the podcast is hiding right in the title…<\/span><\/p>\n

   We all know what \u201cbroke\u201d means. But their definition of \u201cwoke\u201d isn\u2019t necessarily what you might think. Britnie defines it this way:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   \u201cUnderstanding your purpose in life and walking in the fullness of your potential.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

   Are YOU ready to wake up and dive into your purpose and potential? To live your own \u201cwoke\u201d life?<\/span><\/p>\n

   It\u2019s all about small changes and mindset shifts. And in every episode, you\u2019ll experience the lightbulb (and sometimes fireworks) moment coming on as the dots to success connect.<\/span><\/p>\n

   When Jerremy shares what he loves about the podcast, he puts it this way: <\/span>\u201cI like dissecting people and asking questions other people won\u2019t ask.\u201d <\/span><\/i>And that\u2019s exactly what he does.<\/span><\/p>\n

   Here\u2019s a few snippets to give you a taste of what to expect\u2026 which is to think differently, so you can become the \u201cnext level you\u201d who achieves your dreams and makes positive things happen in the world:<\/span><\/p>\n

   Jerremy on happiness: <\/span>\u201cWhen you have no reason to smile, but you do it anyway\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/i>
   \n<\/span><\/p>\n

   Britnie\u2019s straight talk on money: <\/span>\u201cDon\u2019t expect to just get paid a lot. You have to earn\u00a0<\/span><\/i>this ish <\/span><\/i>[the success and money you want]<\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

   Side note: Britnie would know! Remember how she lived in her car and worked for free? She also became a multi-millionaire serial entrepreneur in less than five years. She\u2019s been\u00a0<\/span>honored in Forbes for having the sixth Fastest-Growing Woman-Owned Company in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

   Jerremy on becoming exceptional: <\/span>\u201cPeople don\u2019t want to experience the pain. But for\u00a0<\/span><\/i>someone to grow and become exceptional, you have to go through it.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

   In their first season, these co-hosts shared powerful conversations about life lessons, lawsuits, love, and losing everything. And they\u2019re just getting started. Season two kicks off early 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n
