Flashback Friday with The Culture Soup Podcast

from The Culture Soup Podcast®️ · host L Michelle Smith

Before the credentials. Before the awards and the accolades, there was a corporate executive with a podcast--and that was not cool, I was told. My, how far we've all come! #FlashbackFriday to the year 2020 when The Culture Soup Podcast had only been streaming for two years. I was invited to be on WFAA's Good Morning Texas for a segment called "Another Popin' Podcast" to discuss the show. This is a wonderful opportunity to align on the values that the show was built on. It's hard to believe that it's been seven years since we first launched, and you can tell that there has been an evolution. For one, my credentials shifted the topic from entrepreneurship to leadership. Secondly, The Coaching Corner morphed into it's own audio podcast on my Substack, Her Next Power Move; however, the substance of The Culture Soup Podcast has remained the same. Known for it's indepth conversations with the movers and shakers at the intersection of tech, business and culture, all of them my friends--and it's been quite a lineup for more than 300 episodes. I launched this show to expand my reach to engage a global audience that would be ready to consume by books. Four books later, here we are. Every book launch has begun on the show, and Call & Response: 10 Leadership Lessons from the Black Church will be no different. In fact, yesterday we launched A Leadership Revival--a multi-part series that goes behind the scenes for the making of the book grounded in the three pillars that bolster the book: research in history, science and leadership. Connect the dots with me with this segment from Good Morning Texas. My, how far we've come. #Podcasts #TheCultureSoupPodcast
