I interviewed Byron Allen, Founder and CEO of Allen Media Group and Entertainment Studios. Allen owns one of the largest cable network portfolios in the industry. He recently purchased The Weather Channel for $300 Million dollars. I talked to the media mogul about his career, racism in the banking industry, his $20 Billion dollar racial discrimination lawsuit, his advice to aspiring entrepreneurs and whether he’s thinking about running for political office.
Today’s Minute Motivation is on “Overthinking” and how it can prevent us from accomplishing our goals.

We are all striving to be our best. We may be proud of our accomplishments but then get discouraged when we compare our journey to that of another person’s. Time to get rid of that thinking! It’s time to focus on your REAL competition!
Let us never forget those we lost on this day, 19 years ago. 🙏🏾 9/11
I just love coming back home to Detroit and hanging with friends that I grew up with. My girl Alison Vaughn and I met as teens in Fellowship Chapel church on Detroit’s northwest side of town. Blessed to have a loving and supportive circle of friends. 💖
#tb ~ Photoshoot in my backyard. I was honored to be featured in my dear friend Crystal McCrary-McGuire and Nathan Williams’ book INSPIRATION: Profiles of Black Women Changing Our World. Sometimes it is challenging to look around today and find some inspiration to be hopeful about the future. But, yet, we persevere. We get up every day, we keep praying and we keep bringing our excellence because that is what God created us to do...to use our gifts to make this world a better place for all. Find inspiration in every breath you take. You are alive and a magnificent being made in the image of the Most High.
I woke up with a heavy heart thinking about Chadwick Boseman. The fact that this man persevered through rigorous filming days between painful chemo and surgeries to bring us masterpieces is extraordinary, inspiring, and heartbreaking, all at once. His perseverance is a metaphor particularly apropos to today’s challenging times, as we continue to bring excellence in spite of a society that unrelentingly beats us down. Rest in Power Chadwick. 🙏🏾
Ya’ll know how much I love my hometown! Thank you #Wetroit for my new T’s’! Love the message. Detroit is a family town. We all rise together! #detroitgal #motorcity #motown

Congratulations to my friend, Kamala Harris, on your history-making day! Extraordinary to become the first woman of color to be on a major party ticket…as Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential running mate.
