How to Start a Culture Podcast: The Culture Marauders Have The Answer

Curtis Kelley The Culture Marauders Podcast Who loves a good podcast? Look no further than Curtis Kelley, Co-Owner of The Culture Marauders LLC. They are a crew of friends and family with diverse backgrounds and a passion for life. They draw on their experiences to connect to different cultures, take away the best they have to offer, and bring it back to the masses with the intent to enlighten and entertain. Curtis started The Culture Marauders Podcast in Sept 2019 after being encouraged by his wife to leverage his military experience into creating a podcast (wives obviously know best! ????).

Unsure what “culture marauding” is? Read more here: What is “The Culture Marauders”

Curtis was born in Omaha, Nebraska but grew up around the world as a military brat. He is a 20-year military veteran with combat experience that has earned him The Bronze Star Medal for Leadership in Combat. Curtis possesses a B.A. in Logistics Management and an M.A. in Organizational Management. He currently resides in Tampa, Florida where he is a devoted father of 3 and husband to his wife Corinna for 13 years.

Curtis loves good music, food, traveling, sports, movies, cooking, hanging out with his family, good rum (who doesn’t!), and getting out and immersing himself in different cultures.

He has met 3 Secretaries of Defense (William Cohen, Donald Rumsfeld, and Ashton Carter), Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, and President Barack Obama. He has an uncanny ability of meeting famous people in random places so next time you are wanting to meet the celebrity of your dreams, this guy is your wingman!

Curtis attended our CEO Mindset™ course to gain the tools to become an effective, respected business leader, better manager, and CEO for his business. Curtis Kelley The Culture Marauders a-ha moment

After completing the course, he realized he was taking on too much in the operation of the business and lost focus of what his role was. “It made me take a deeper look into what I want to accomplish with my business and what resources I’ll need to do so.”

We are excited to see what the future holds for you Curtis, and look forward to your success!

CBD Coffee: Reasons Why You Should Start Your Day Like Lissa James.

CEO, CEO Mindset, CEO Rockstar

Lissa James If you love a damn fine cup of coffee then look no further than Gleeful Monkey CBD coffee. Lissa started this health and wellness brand at the beginning of 2020 and business has been taking off since. Offering quality products infused with CBD that you can enjoy daily, (psst, the CBD honey is a top favorite among customers), your well-being is a priority for Lissa.

As the CEO of a woman-owned business, and after a long career in Corporate Technology where she was often the only woman in the room, Lissa says she is all in for Women in Leadership and very committed to enabling and empowering women in business!

Not sure what CBD is? Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is a product that’s derived from cannabis. It’s a type of cannabinoid, which are the chemicals naturally found in marijuana plants. Now, before you say, “WHAT THE!” CBD oil doesn’t create a “high” effect or any form of intoxication which is caused by another cannabinoid, known as THC. In fact, there are several studies that have shown that CBD oil relives anxiety and chronic pain, can help with seizures and neurodegenerative disorders, reduce inflammation (looking at you acne), and has even been tested in certain studies to show decline in cancer cell growth.

Lissa’s motto is focused on quality and believes that what you put in your body creates quality of life. At the end of the day, she wants to infuse your world with GLEE! Life should not be boring AND it should taste good! Health and wellness is something very important to her. She has climbed the base camp of Mt. Everest and ridden her bike across Europe! She’s also a member of the Bradentucky Roller Derby Team under the alias: Violet Slamurai. Safe to say, don’t get on her bad side!

Lissa James - Gleeful Monkey Value of You A-ha moment Lissa joined the JULO Strategy CEO Mindset™ course to continue doing the work necessary to grow her mindset, gain experience, and get perspective to be a strong, effective leader. This six week cohort strengthened her ability to delegate, document processes and procedures, and take action to all areas of her business.

Not only did she complete Phase I and II of the CEO Mindset™ program – she is currently taking the Phase II class again and in her own words “After having completed CEO Mindset™ Part I and understanding the value it imparted in my life and business, Part II was a no-brainer. I am someone who believes that a coach will ALWAYS be necessary, there is always more to learn – and for me right now there is A LOT to learn and implement. The guidance in this course has been crucial and extremely valuable.”

Lissa James - Gleeful Monkey - Covid19 A-ha moment

We love the Gleeful Monkey CBD Coffee, and that you are getting the most out of our program Lissa. We cannot wait to see your business thrive!
