1. You’ve successfully transitioned from corporate sales to music mogul to professor and investor. What’s the most important mindset shift someone must make to evolve from one level of success to another? You’ve navigated industries as diverse as entertainment, education, and even cannabis. What’s the key to adapting and thriving in completely different worlds? (MK) The foundation for running a business is pretty much the same when we look at marketing, brand development, distribution alternative and product offering. The who, the what, the why and the where. 2. Managing Destiny’s Child—and later Beyoncé and Solange—meant handling talent and legacy at the highest level. What do you believe is the difference between managing talent and developing greatness? What lessons can today’s leaders learn about nurturing potential in others while maintaining excellence in themselves? (MK) Artist Development is a process of learning and requires passion, determination and work ethics. 3. Your book The DNA of Achievers outlines the traits of successful professionals. Looking back, which of those traits helped you most during moments of crisis or major change in your journey? Whether it was a business pivot or personal challenge like your health scare, what kept you grounded and focused? (MK) Learning from Failure. Understanding the mistakes, failures, setbacks and adversity are often opportunities. 4. You’ve educated the next generation at institutions like Texas Southern University and London College of Creative Media. What’s the most misunderstood lesson about success you wish every young creative or entrepreneur understood earlier?What would you tell the 22-year-old version of yourself about building a life that balances purpose, profit, and passion? (MK) Success is not micro waved. It requires knowledge, education, experiences and the passion of wanting to be GREAT and putting in the work.

Something happen to me today, that I rather not say, but I will share what I learned from the experience.
It only takes a second. One phone call. One decision. One unexpected event. And suddenly, your whole life looks different. A job lost. A loved one gone. A health diagnosis. A business breakthrough. A chance encounter that shifts your destiny. We often think life moves in years, seasons, and long-term plans. But the truth is — everything can change in the blink of an eye. And because of that, every minute matters more than you realize. Life Doesn’t Send Warnings No one gets an alert before everything changes. You don’t get a calendar invite before your world flips upside down. You don’t get a 30-day notice before the opportunity of a lifetime shows up — or before the rug gets pulled from under you. That’s why it’s dangerous to take any moment for granted. 1) We assume we’ll have time to say “I love you” later. 2) We assume we’ll fix that relationship next week. 3) We assume we’ll take that leap “when the time is right.” 4) We assume we’ll start living… someday. But what if someday never comes?That’s why you have to live now. Because the truth is — now is all you ever really have. One Moment Can Make You — Or Break YouLet’s be real. Some moments knock the wind out of you. A car accident. A sudden betrayal. A headline with your name in it. A door you thought would open — slammed shut. But there are also moments that wake you up. You meet someone who changes your thinking. You land the deal that changes your bank account. You make the choice that sets you free. Pain or purpose. Setback or step up. It only takes one moment to turn the entire trajectory of your life.So why wait to value what you still have? Every Minute You Waste… Is a Miracle Ignored We spend hours scrolling. We hold grudges for years. We stay in places that drain us because it’s familiar. We push our dreams into “next month,” “next year,” “when the kids are older.” But here’s the wake-up call: Time doesn’t owe you anything.If you knew how many people didn’t wake up this morning… If you understood how close you’ve come to breaking through… If you saw how valuable your next 60 seconds really are… You’d start showing up differently. You’d forgive faster. You’d speak your truth louder. You’d live bolder. You’d stop waiting to feel “ready” and just start moving. Don’t Just Count Time — Make Time Count You can’t control everything that happens in life — but you can control how you respond. You can: 1) Wake up with purpose 2) Love the people in your life with your whole heart 3) Give your dreams real effort, not just excuses 4) Use your voice before you lose the chance to use it Because if your life can change in a moment — that means every moment matters. And while none of us know when that life-altering moment will come, we can choose to be present, grateful, and intentional in every blink of time we’re given. Be Grateful for Now You are breathing. You are alive. You are reading this right now. That alone makes this moment a blessing. So don’t waste another second living like time is guaranteed. Make the call. Take the risk. Say the prayer. Write the book. Book the flight. Say “I love you.” Start the business. Forgive the past. Chase the dream. Because life will change — that’s a promise. And in the blink of an eye, you’ll either wish you had… or be grateful that you did.
