Well David, what value I gained from this episode is women have to be self aware, coach able, knowledge seeking and walk in their feminine energy. Turning up the sexy can be dangerous and regressive. But turning up the feminine energy is beneficial for Everyone. Thank you, this was so valuable 💗
This panel was amazing! I must say Ms. April is a 💎….her presence spoke loud! I noticed Donni didn’t look at her at all while she spoke which was interesting. Donni, we love you girl…sometimes we do need to put our ego down and learn from other women…especially women like April.
I lovvve April she is definitely needed and bring something new to the game. Especially now with the battle of the sexes. And I love how she softly brushed off the shade that was being thrown at her in the feminine manner she is known for.
Great episode. April and Tahlia were dropping knowledge. Then there's Donnie. She's mastered the art of it being all about her and low key confrontational with all things concerning men.
She’s an awesome businesswoman but it’s very clear why she’s single (yes, I know she has a man but she says all the time that she’s single until married). Whether she knows it or not, she’s competing with her man and a real man will never put up with that.
This was great. I feel like Donni is used to being the most educated woman at the table and today this was NOT the case . This was good but cringe as Donni made faces and how she spoke with a pinch of arrogance. 🤣🤣🤣 she spoke about herself so much my gosh. She negated everything. Hopefully she took something from what these other ladies said I love Ms.April !! 😍😍
I was smh the whole time. There is beauty in knowing when to be quiet. April sat there waited her turn and with such grace, she spoke precise and impactful. 🤜🤛
I get your point but a lot of times being educated doesn’t necessarily translate to the smartest or most intelligent. April pretty much schooled her on her masculine energy without addressing her directly.
I grasped the fact that you can have it all with the right strategy as a women. Embracing your feminine self while remaining an firm and secure in business.
This was a clear case of a seasoned woman trying to open the eyes of a younger woman and the younger woman not listening. Young folks, you have to open your ears to those who lived life longer than you. Remember: they were once you until life showed them how to make adjustments.
Exactly! What Donnie didn't realize is she was saying the same thing that Ms. April said but Donnie was so ready to be defensive that she couldn't hear Ms. Aprils words. She thinks strong and mean go hand in hand and that makes for a tense environment. The grace Ms. April puts on everything is powerful AND pretty. I admire her somuch. Been married 10 years now and the advice Ms. April gives works!
@@TA-ht4jo I can see how you would say that. I just heard some things come out of Donnie’s mouth that Ms. April had just explained. It was as if Donnie was contradicting herself. At the same time some moments were completely opposite. I just wish Donnie’s could see Ms. April is showing strength in softness and stop thinking that strong means rough exterior. I do see your point though.
I watch Ms.April everyday. This lady is golden. I spoke about a month ago how I want to learn how to be a women due to me not being taught or having that genuine women figure in the home( My mom was very masculine) and she appeared on my page. This was divinely guided ❤️ that’s you this is valuable
Well David, what value I gained from this episode is women have to be self aware, coachable, knowledge seeking and walk in their feminine energy. Turning up the sexy can be dangerous and regressive. But turning up the feminine energy is beneficial for Everyone. Thank you, this was so valuable 💗
The way author Jason Wilson speaks of comprehensive men, April is a comprehensive woman. Embodiment of balance. She is very enlightened and you can tell she has reached a depth of self-awareness that most never see in their lifetime. "When you think of something strong you don't come to the aid of it!" 🔥
I enjoyed this episode but I was a little confused. I would have really loved to hear each of these womens' stories about how they got into their businesses, about their background and how they built themselves and their businesses into what they are today. I didn't realize it was going to be an hour spent talking about their relationships or lack thereof. I really hope you have them all back so we can hear more about their stories and their entrepreneurial journeys.
But with women this is VITAL in business and everyone needed to hear it cause relationships and motherhood has to be balanced in business in regard to us. WE ARE NOT MEN! It needed to be this very conversation
Exactly. When the interview started with their relationship status my first thought was "I've never heard a panel of males being asked their relationship status".
This was a great episode I loved how everyone seemed interested in learning from the other despite how successful they are. I loved Ms. April's message. Donnie I believe was trying play devil's advocate or show another perspective to a business woman but I believe her demeanor showed some kind of insecurity 🤷🏾♀️. We get it you're in something significant. No need to repeat. It's funny because I think she needs some assistance from Ms. April lol
This definitely was April lane. Very well done! SN: just as someone who is married pay attention to how the women who are married sit and add value and compare those who are not. Donna also presented well. My wife and I make these observations but just like in business, in relationships for women who have been successful there comes a point where you have to assess that you may not have an issue with getting to a committed relationship but the problem is you don't get the proposal. Same thing in business you can only get to the final round of interviews before you ask how come your not closing the deal.
@@melliegotsoul great question there were 2 married and even 2 divorced. The 2 married had quiet confidence and as they walk through questions you can see how they knew the answer but those unmarried are still working through it. This is not to shame just interesting watching human behavior in different seasons
Damn Ms. April that was amazing especially your breakdown of the parents and how women become over masculine but men never become over feminine. I would love to hear more from her.
I love how Donnie brought up that the conversation started different solely because they were a panel of women. When the interview started with their relationship status my first thought was "I've never heard a panel of males being asked their relationship status".
Go April!! A woman with self awareness, tack & class in a group setting. What I learned from this that I made the right decision when I started watching April Mason's videos 2yrs ago. Truly inspiring 👏 standing ov 👏
I can't believe she said "That's why you shouldn't be feminine?" I knew it was something I wasn't feeling about Donni. I think the votes are in... April should be the new co-host🥴
@@conversationswithadrianne ,You do have a point,even Miss April May not beat her in her role. Because her persona is designed for it. But her problem is lack of self awareness. She erroneously identifies with the persona and ego as who she is and thereby do not prioritize the reason she constructed the persona.
Omg! Great job as usual David. I absolutely love all of your interviews/shows. You have a natural gift of making your questions so conversational. April Mason. I immediately googled you. 😂 I didn’t want the show to end because of you. I absolutely love your energy! Great job! Thank you ladies! ❤️
I enjoyed Donni and Shayta As well. I loved the real and the raw in the conversation to be honest. Yes it may have been uncomfortable parts but that’s real convos. Not scripted. It showed that we as woman are different and have different paths in getting to success. The power in the room for me that’s was more powerful than anything. Everyone showed grace and embodied power. We need to see that. Everyone doesn’t have to get along. But being able to come together for the culture of black woman anyway. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I can really respect it.
I resonated with April a lot and have been intuitively applying a lot of what she is saying lately in order to get back to balance. I operated in my male energy all my life because I felt like others around me weren't capable but doing that will wipe you out fast. Great podcast! I definitely learned from these women and will take this further in life. Thank you!!!
This was a great panel! I hope there's another panel like this but with a more diverse group of black women. In Atlanta, there is a huge presence of African/Caribbean/Afro-Latino women. I hope next time they can be added and included. As a Nigerian woman, let me tell you....we do business!!! Ms. April!!!! Wow, this was your day. I immediately looked you up and gotta meet you one day. I honestly stayed to listen to you. Your posture, your delivery, your wisdom were golden. You exude everything how a woman in business should be. You are in a lane on your own.
With a straight face Shay sat here and said she worked for Chrysler for 20 yrs. Now from what my eyes are seeing, I’m wondering what kind of child labor laws were broken bc ain’t no way. Melanin is low key WIZARDRY. It’s magical. #benjaminbutton #fountainofyouth
Ladies do not flirt, stay professional a. It all times ignore the comments from men and let them know you are about your business. Also do not dummy down yourself, a person needs to respect who you are and what your bring to the table in all aspects of life. You will feel better about yourself in the end and achieve the success that you want.
Donnie…it’s ok…we love you…it’s ok to just listen at times too…it comes across as defensive and combative at times…your spot is not in jeopardy…again…nothing but love for you…listen to Ms. April…she’s giving the game to you
Very nicely said, all of us that watched this together in my home felt exactly this way. She's a awesome lady but came across as if someone was trying take from her which wasn't the case at all. I do hope she goes back and watches this episode for herself and realize how she looked up there. We love her too and I definitely wish her even more Wonderful success!
I liked this epidsode. However, my only feedback is it felt like one person in particular was using what another lady was saying against her. After every comment, she would say something negative about the other lady opinion. I didn’t really like that. Overall, great epidsode.
Great job to all involved, first and foremost. Having said that, I mean this from a tactical/chronological standpoint: in seeing the title I had expected this to be about the difficult journey of starting and then scaling a business in chronological order. The hardest part is actually getting started. For example, how to get funding, securing a location, when to hire more employees, knowing how to let go and delegate. Instead a panel about business women was really all about MEN. I’m sure someone cares about how their success makes men feel, but I can’t be the only female entrepreneur hoping to actually learn something about the aforementioned topics. Perhaps this will have multiple parts and we will get to the most important things later. But just strictly speaking on the divine order of things, it seems like we are starting at what should be the very end if discussed at all. Having said that, I’d again like to reiterate that these ladies are amazing and I LOVE this channel. I had just hoped you’d talk more about B U S I N E S S the way your interviews are with men. But sincerely, thanks for all you do David. I mean that from the heart.
Girl say less.....this episode was good if it was about relationships when running a business. I want to start a business about teaching black women about customer service. I was hoping to glean from them about their struggles and trials with dealing clients. I especially wanted to learn about how they got started because I am struggling. How and where do I start? How do I building a following? I'm hoping that part 2 actually talks abou business.
@@womenetix EXACTLY! Don’t get me wrong there were definitely some hidden gems in there. But from watching countless of his interviews with men, I know what a BUSINESS discussion sounds like. This ain’t it. This was straight out of the “self help” section that preys on women’s insecurities in thinking their worth is defined by marriage and motherhood. Again, every topic has its place. But I honestly felt cheated. I’m definitely going to tune in for pt 2 in hopes of learning something about the beginning building blocks of business. I actually went looking for that “101” video since this one says “201” indicating they already covered the basics before.
Watching this episode 2 years later....Ms. April said being a Feminine woman can make other women dislike you. And I see how she set the tone of the entire conversation and the other women were playing catch up OR trying to disprove her point. ❤❤
I have loved every episode of this podcast that I have seen and Donni definitely adds value every time, so to this panel of women killing it was just fire!!!
@@RealSocialProof to just be a woman! You usually don't hear that but the more I think on that the more I see the importance of it. I'm on the armed forces where I'm from so my masculine energy was definitely up there lol. This was definitely a needed conversation.
You should definitely connect with April! Thanks for tapping into the podcast 🙌🏾, it's sooo much more coming, what value did you gain from this episode?
No seriously it was the grace, elegance, and confidence for me. I’m working on embodying these qualities. Working on your inner self. I get it. As a women. ✨✨✨✨
Wow! Donni was eaten up in these comments. 😅 Some of it was deserved but it’s okay to have a difference of opinion. Tahlia is a class act. Koeryelle seemed to play it safe & not make an attempt to say much. The lady next to David who looks like Sierra (VH1’s Love & Hip Hop) from the Glam Shop had good points. The woman in PR or the music business? offered valuable feedback but APRIL MASON owned thee show!!! Not only did she drop bars, she presented things from fresh perspectives & almost everything she said was MEMORABLE!!!
I like Donnie but she def comes off as a bit competitive/confrontational. I’m an entrepreneur but I’m def a feminine woman. I have no desire to be masculine, train a man etc. I honestly cringed when she said that to Dave. When I come home from work, I’m ready to be led by my man and I 100% agree with April. There’s nothing wrong with hiring help, so that U can sit back and pamper yourself and live in your feminine essence. It’s very important for women to bask in their femininity.
We all cringed when she said it. My husband said “Wow, what did she say”. That was very disrespectful to him, his wife, & her boyfriend. Hopefully, we get to see her openly correct her choice of words and apologize to them. I like her on the podcast cohosting amongst themselves. At the table with women she don’t agree with was very uncomfortable to watch and listen to. It was almost a distraction and didn’t allow us to hear more from the guest. Overalls, we enjoyed the ladies. 👏🏽
Donnie is the one you want in your board room as an equity holding advisor . No games , no strategy to manipulate. She Is straight forward , unheralded ability to see and cut through layers . there to get things done at a high level.
this was a hard one to get through initially. But the women that allowed themselves to be vulnerable opened the conversation to flow better. that sprinkle at the end was worth it!
This is 🔥, as a professional man, these are the Black Women I will die for. I love April as she fits all I desire in my next forever. Thanks for the lessons Ladies. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I can’t wait for Part 2 to drop. (hopefully soon) because I have a lot of educator friends that I’ve shared this video with. Glad that you all came together for this much needed message. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I know women who are feminine, cook, clean, pamper their men and still get cheated on. I don't think anyone's got this r/ship formula figured out just yet.
This discussion said nothing about being feminine in order to avoid getting cheated on she was showing us how to operate within our feminine energy and still be dominant
@@RealSocialProof well I skipped past it because I usually watch your podcast for financial, business, motivational purposes so I didn't think I would get much value from it. It wasn't what I expected though. It was a REAL conversation, as they always are.
Great advice about teaching a young man how to court, lets make sure we teach our young ladies to respect themselves and expect a young man to treat you with respect. From my perspective and I am a man, quite a few men state women do not know how to respect a man.
I understand where the ladies are coming from. Not everyone wants to be a power couple, I don't believe in them anymore. You handle your business and I will support or advise when asked.
Amazing point of views and references! Women have different challenges in doing business. I would love to hear a podcast with April and her approach with male/female relationships in business. Looking forward to more, Great job Dave!!
@@RealSocialProof Women...in particular...Black Women.... face very unique challenges in all aspects of everyday life and especially in business.If more Black Women would learn the stock market??...80% of their business problems would disappear because they could be their own bank/investor/financier...Great work Dave!!
There's a negative connotation to being "emotional" that shouldn't be there. We're human and trying to be emotionless, regardless of the gender, does more harm than good. What's important is how and when you express that emotion. That's what managing your emotions means. You're not trying to eliminate them altogether.
All these women are Awesome! Even though Donnie at times made me sick hearing how she was coming off. I was loving her spirit until Donnie started being even more cocky and arrogant. She seems like a sweet lady without the " All about ME" syndrome. The rest of the ladies warmed my heart just by being real about everything. Letting people know where you came from and how far you came can relate to so many of us woman more these days because all our journeys are different and real. Love this and will continue to support!
@@RealSocialProof To understand my journey, to take control of what I really want to do for myself instead of working for companies that will and can throw you away at any given moment, and that everything plays a part in a woman's success. I have been in corporate and have experienced being tossed to the side after making them rich, and being left with nothing to show for and feeling worthless because I no longer is valued or on the team with them because of downsizing. The relationships, marriage, kids, emotions, mental and how we conduct ourselves and our tone in speaking is a key topics that no one likes to address but needs to address to help others understand that they are not alone and should not be embarrassed to speak on it because you don't know who it can really help . Letting the world know that we are valuable, our self worth and we capable of having a successful business just as a man has. Having a partner that pushes and believes in your dreams and goals plus him supporting you, you supporting him does make a huge difference. How we get the attention in business and still be classy with a Boss mentality without having to use our bodies to get ahead. It's so much we can learn from all these ladies who were married with kids, single with kids, and the one who was just single. Embracing where we are at in our lives and going from that point and not doing what others think is best in our lives is also a major component in the business journey. Knowing who you are as a real woman, not what others expect, but what God has in you and made you to be. Understanding who we are before marriage so that we can be the wife we desire to be and become. Not beating ourselves up but examining ourselves so we can make better choices and decisions for our journey.
I loved everything these powerful Queens said. One thing I was hoping they would tap into more was the question as to whether women are more emotional than men. In my very strong opinion I would say absolutely men are more emotional than women. I agree that most women have to put their feelings aside for the greater good of the family, business, employer, team or what have you. Whereas men constantly make decisions based on ego/emotions. Men’s ego have landed this country in wars, men’s ego lead their poor decision making when it comes to cheating/infidelity, men’s emotion will not allow them to ask for help or be receptive to a woman’s opinion (even if the suggestion is good), men’s ego have gotten our families in debt and trouble, men’s ego often don’t make spaces for women. That is the truth. We are in a world of trouble now in this country based on a males ego/emotions.
Donnie said it about men who listen when it comes from another male but not their own significant other. This has happened to me on several occasions. The funny part 🤣 is my significant other would come and tell me months down the line the exact same advice I gave him but instead it came from his cousin 😅. Everything I tell him goes out the window, but comming from his friends, cousins and any other male its like he discovered a new toy and wants to show me smh
I resonate with Donni so much. She shows that femininity is not one thing, one image, one style. I’m in the fitness industry and that fine line with leveraging with flirting is real. I want the respect and could care less about stroking an ego. It’s business. If men can grasp that concept with other men, why can’t that grasp that with women?
I am in the MMU. I have to say this is one of the best podcasts you have done. The subject matter is perfect and so right now. Great job the panel is amazing. Keep up the good work. See you soon. Feel better.
@@RealSocialProof that I can be soft to get my point across. I've always had strong wrist. I'm ready to take on that my wrist is broken persona. I hope you continue this throughout the year. I would attend it.
Blessings to all and shout out to my brother Brandon Ramsey for that amazing photo shoot!!! Straight from the DMV to the ATL!!! Together WE will ImpactHumanity as God's Vessels for Humanity!!! David and Donni, I mean Donni and David are Truly Greatness On Display in every way.
@@RealSocialProof I actually gained a greater respect for Women in business. I shared this with all of the Women I know who are entrepreneurs and need this visual Empowerment. I like how Donni got it in on part 2 along with the other Queens sitting at that Impactful table. I also learn to never sell Myself short for no one and know how to deal with anyone appropriately.
Shay was giving some good knowledge at the end that I hadn’t thought about or heard before. She should teach on it more. Great panel, looking forward to part 2
@@RealSocialProof learning how I want to be seen or show up while operating business, dating or in relationship doesn’t have to be a struggle. Deciding who I am in those roles is most important which makes for a better partner in love, board rooms, and life overall.
1. Why do you all think because Donnie disagrees she's confrontational. I don't know why people think because she's passionate she's abrasive or confrontational. 2. How come with the ladies we focus so much on marital status? You don't hear Gary V getting questions about his wife.
@@RealSocialProof Listening is a skill that April demonstrated high level expertise. April seems petite but her essence overshadowed the other women (that were younger and some would say prettier).
This comment is just for the production in the future The microphone rubbing or static were like fingernails on a chalk board. I’m only 4 mins in, and would love to finish but I won’t be able to if the sharp noises continue.
I agree, sound needs improvement in most episodes. I enjoy the podcast but wish more focus was put into production of each episode. Wish table was half-Circle as well, as camera angle for April and Shay was not the best. Background needed more tape as well and food was unnecessary as women, unlike men, won’t really “eat” with cameras and audience. Libations and maybe finger food would have been sufficient or maybe full meal before or after podcast for panel. As always, enjoyed the episode but let’s get to excellence!
@@RealSocialProof been watching videos for awhile but never wanted to critique as folks take it as hating but this podcast has sooo much potential. Not sure if production team feels like their there as audience members because too much seems to be slipping by them in the moment. Full attention should be on camera and sound the entire episode - nothing else. No reason RUclips viewers should be seeing the lady pouring panelist water- simply switch to the other camera angle. 1)Have production team watch after each episode and admit what can improve. 2)Try audio test of every mic “before” recording. 3) camera swapping needs to happen more cohesively, too often Donni talking and camera on David (example). Too many people watching and needing inspiration to not deliver excellence. No reason these production issues should be happening after 200+ episodes. Y’all deserve excellence.
I looked through the comments before giving feedback. All of what LaKendra said. 👆🏾 I really want to enjoy all episodes but what deters me is the audio production. I listen until I can’t for most episodes because the sound is not conducive for headphones. Great content, poor sound. I look forward to witnessing the improvements. Kudos, Dave.
This episode showed me that emotional intelligence is just as important as money and success……Donnie I’m shaking my head at you you let April EXPOSE your insecurities through her grace smh still inspired by you though
All emotions are useful and should be welcomed as waymakers. Named, felt, then let go of. Even a "negative" emotion has purpose when you track down its roots. Many people (especially men) don't quite get how to express those feelings in a healthy way or in an appropriate time. So instead they bottle up, explode, then repeat.
Emotion is a vehicle of and for the spirit/energy, and not a waymaker. The Principle is the waymaker, and the will/wheel that direct and lead the movement. The emotional need,desire and problem puts the energy and will in motion or drive. Why the principle,value and rule(strategy) wills the power and movement.
@fabulousswag6683 Ideally, yes. You want it to be that way but most people don't realize what principles they actually hold. Like the movie Inception there are many people who hold beliefs that didn't choose in them. Many people claim to be woke/aware but lack introspection. When I say waymakers, I'm not talking about for your will or actions. Emotions are waymakers for where your current beliefs lie. From there you can recalibrate your compass to align with your principles.
Black women are learning to communicate together in a group setting without the ego bashing and the constant need to out do each other. Yeah, its not about one black person verses another black person, its about moving and working together.
The last young lady that spoke got me! Everything she just said is TRUE. Coming from Retail, that is soooooooooooooooTRUE. I love her knowledge. That was the realist TALK. I listened to her three times.
April came with all the tools. Looking forward to learning more from her as well as teaching Donnie ( Tan shirt next to April) She is rude cuts people off when they are talking.
Its just different tools for a woman's tool box. Everyone is different. Like April said, its not this or that its this and that, when it comes to femininity & masculinity. Its a matter of your natural balance and its not as simple as male=masculine and female=feminine. I love love love the idea Donni has of people just being who they are and being clear and firm about intent and boundaries. I wish everyone could be like that. And its beautiful when you can be in a room of people like that and work together. Unfortunately, everyone is not and stuff still has to get done around and thru people who's personalities may be more difficult for your personality to work with. In those situations all off the tools the ladies talked about can be useful. Just have to learn self and how to best adapt them to our own personality and the situation.
Ms. April!!!! You are amazing. You were the star of the show honestly. Donnie, Donnie, Donnie.....you made this episode very awkward honestly. You kept bragging about your looks over and over again. We get it, you're pretty. Normally you are the reason why I watch the podcast but today, you came off confrontational and arrogant. We get it, you are good at what you do. But this episode made me look at you differently.
I wasn’t fast forwarding to the part where each one of them was talking with their hands (typical blank woman shit) looking to see if they were married….like dayum. I wish em the best, because winter is official here 🥶
As a man I admire a woman that speak less but when they speak they command your attention. April killed it!
Great panel
"I don't want to have to teach him. But, teach me." Grabbed my attention.
Ayyyy I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥
April killed this episode. She definitely explained her point of view well.
She definitely did! Thanks for tapping into the podcast 🙌🏾, it's sooo much more coming, what value did you gain from this episode?
So agree! Very wise woman ... Femininity = Strength
Well David, what value I gained from this episode is women have to be self aware, coach able, knowledge seeking and walk in their feminine energy. Turning up the sexy can be dangerous and regressive. But turning up the feminine energy is beneficial for Everyone. Thank you, this was so valuable 💗
VERY well!
Ms. April is everything 😍😍😍She exudes what it means to be a feminine woman. I’m definitely looking into her programs!
Ayyyy I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥What value did you get from this episode?
This panel was amazing! I must say Ms. April is a 💎….her presence spoke loud! I noticed Donni didn’t look at her at all while she spoke which was interesting. Donni, we love you girl…sometimes we do need to put our ego down and learn from other women…especially women like April.

She is the truth
Facts I was getting annoyed for her
April Mason poise is unmatched.
Unmatched! I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥What value did you get from this episode?
Great episode. April and Tahlia were dropping knowledge. Then there's Donnie. She's mastered the art of it being all about her and low key confrontational with all things concerning men.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
👀👀 Think so?
Donni is awesome. She’ll even be better with more growth and less ego. That comes with time and she’s on the right track.
Ayyyy I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥What value did you get from this episode?
She’s an awesome businesswoman but it’s very clear why she’s single (yes, I know she has a man but she says all the time that she’s single until married). Whether she knows it or not, she’s competing with her man and a real man will never put up with that.
This is Gold bro… April was 🔥🔥🔥
Yes sir 😎
Y'all should link up
This was great. I feel like Donni is used to being the most educated woman at the table and today this was NOT the case . This was good but cringe as Donni made faces and how she spoke with a pinch of arrogance. 🤣🤣🤣 she spoke about herself so much my gosh. She negated everything. Hopefully she took something from what these other ladies said
I love Ms.April !! 😍😍
donni annoys me all the time!! no offense to her, nor should she care what i or others think-but geesh she can come across as unlikeable.
I agree. There’s a lot she has to learn from April.
Agree. Donni was intimidated by April you can tell.
I was smh the whole time. There is beauty in knowing when to be quiet. April sat there waited her turn and with such grace, she spoke precise and impactful. 🤜🤛
I get your point but a lot of times being educated doesn’t necessarily translate to the smartest or most intelligent. April pretty much schooled her on her masculine energy without addressing her directly.
Auntie April is goals. Even though I'm a masc presenting woman, I realize I still need to tap in. Great panel David!
April killed it 🔥! Thanks for tapping into the podcast 🙌🏾, it's sooo much more coming, what value did you gain from this episode?
🗣Dave is the new Oprah!!!!! I love this panel of power 🙌🏾💐. We appreciate everyone on the team that makes these productions happen.
Thanks for tapping into the podcast 🙌🏾, it's sooo much more coming, what value did you gain from this episode?
I grasped the fact that you can have it all with the right strategy as a women. Embracing your feminine self while remaining an firm and secure in business.
I recognized David as the male Oprah a while back. I’m so glad other people are saying the same.
This was a clear case of a seasoned woman trying to open the eyes of a younger woman and the younger woman not listening. Young folks, you have to open your ears to those who lived life longer than you. Remember: they were once you until life showed them how to make adjustments.
Ayyyy I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥
Exactly! What Donnie didn't realize is she was saying the same thing that Ms. April said but Donnie was so ready to be defensive that she couldn't hear Ms. Aprils words. She thinks strong and mean go hand in hand and that makes for a tense environment. The grace Ms. April puts on everything is powerful AND pretty. I admire her somuch. Been married 10 years now and the advice Ms. April gives works!
@@alishab4123 Donnie and April were not saying the same thing at all.
@@TA-ht4jo I can see how you would say that. I just heard some things come out of Donnie’s mouth that Ms. April had just explained. It was as if Donnie was contradicting herself. At the same time some moments were completely opposite. I just wish Donnie’s could see Ms. April is showing strength in softness and stop thinking that strong means rough exterior. I do see your point though.
No one on that stage was no more than 5-10 years older or younger than the other.
I watch Ms.April everyday. This lady is golden. I spoke about a month ago how I want to learn how to be a women due to me not being taught or having that genuine women figure in the home( My mom was very masculine) and she appeared on my page. This was divinely guided ❤️ that’s you this is valuable
Thank You for watching
April baby…don’t play with her! I been following her for years on FB …she always comes with the heat!!! 🙌🏽❤️
Ayyyy I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥What value did you get from this episode?
What's her handle?
Well David, what value I gained from this episode is women have to be self aware, coachable, knowledge seeking and walk in their feminine energy. Turning up the sexy can be dangerous and regressive. But turning up the feminine energy is beneficial for Everyone. Thank you, this was so valuable 💗
Ayyyy I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥
The way author Jason Wilson speaks of comprehensive men, April is a comprehensive woman. Embodiment of balance. She is very enlightened and you can tell she has reached a depth of self-awareness that most never see in their lifetime.
"When you think of something strong you don't come to the aid of it!" 🔥
I enjoyed this episode but I was a little confused. I would have really loved to hear each of these womens' stories about how they got into their businesses, about their background and how they built themselves and their businesses into what they are today. I didn't realize it was going to be an hour spent talking about their relationships or lack thereof. I really hope you have them all back so we can hear more about their stories and their entrepreneurial journeys.
Part 2 drops today!
@@RealSocialProof Part twwwwooooo?! I’m excited !!!
Faaaaaacts
But with women this is VITAL in business and everyone needed to hear it cause relationships and motherhood has to be balanced in business in regard to us. WE ARE NOT MEN! It needed to be this very conversation
Exactly. When the interview started with their relationship status my first thought was "I've never heard a panel of males being asked their relationship status".
I'm so glad you sat Donnie next to April. "The juxtaposition" was excellent. God bless the man with Donnie
Ayyyy I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥
Yeah the more she talked, the more I understood why her dude was taking his time to wife her. She too confrontational.
As a 21 year old single mother & entrepreneur this is so inspiring thank you for your time everyone who put this masterly together 🙌🏽✨!!
Shoutout to you for tapping into the podcast, I'm glad you got some value 🔥
Definitely masterful!
This was a great episode I loved how everyone seemed interested in learning from the other despite how successful they are. I loved Ms. April's message. Donnie I believe was trying play devil's advocate or show another perspective to a business woman but I believe her demeanor showed some kind of insecurity 🤷🏾♀️. We get it you're in something significant. No need to repeat. It's funny because I think she needs some assistance from Ms. April lol
This is why Ms April said she doesn’t like to do panels 🤷🏾♀️
This definitely was April lane. Very well done!
SN: just as someone who is married pay attention to how the women who are married sit and add value and compare those who are not.
Donna also presented well.
My wife and I make these observations but just like in business, in relationships for women who have been successful there comes a point where you have to assess that you may not have an issue with getting to a committed relationship but the problem is you don't get the proposal.
Same thing in business you can only get to the final round of interviews before you ask how come your not closing the deal.
what did you observe from the married vs unmarried women?
@@melliegotsoul great question there were 2 married and even 2 divorced. The 2 married had quiet confidence and as they walk through questions you can see how they knew the answer but those unmarried are still working through it. This is not to shame just interesting watching human behavior in different seasons
Damn Ms. April that was amazing especially your breakdown of the parents and how women become over masculine but men never become over feminine. I would love to hear more from her.
Ayyyy I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥

I love how Donnie brought up that the conversation started different solely because they were a panel of women.

@@RealSocialProof To muah value to put into words!
I can't believe she said "That's why you shouldn't be feminine?" I knew it was something I wasn't feeling about Donni. I think the votes are in... April should be the new co-host🥴
👀
@@RealSocialProof I love what Donnie brings to the show in general. She should not be replaced.
@@conversationswithadrianne ,You do have a point,even Miss April May not beat her in her role.
Because her persona is designed for it.
But her problem is lack of self awareness. She erroneously identifies with the persona and ego as who she is and thereby do not prioritize the reason she constructed the persona.
My immediate response was "what a hater, wow, she said that!?" SMH.
Omg! Great job as usual David. I absolutely love all of your interviews/shows. You have a natural gift of making your questions so conversational. April Mason. I immediately googled you. 😂 I didn’t want the show to end because of you. I absolutely love your energy! Great job! Thank you ladies! ❤️

I enjoyed Donni and Shayta As well. I loved the real and the raw in the conversation to be honest. Yes it may have been uncomfortable parts but that’s real convos. Not scripted. It showed that we as woman are different and have different paths in getting to success. The power in the room for me that’s was more powerful than anything. Everyone showed grace and embodied power. We need to see that. Everyone doesn’t have to get along. But being able to come together for the culture of black woman anyway. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I can really respect it.

@@RealSocialProof there are different paths to success and they won’t all look the same…that’s inspiring.
I love this comment. Those two brought a lot to the table.
I resonated with April a lot and have been intuitively applying a lot of what she is saying lately in order to get back to balance. I operated in my male energy all my life because I felt like others around me weren't capable but doing that will wipe you out fast. Great podcast! I definitely learned from these women and will take this further in life. Thank you!!!
Ayyyy I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥 Love the insight!
When you think of something strong, you don’t come to the aid of it. 💥💥💥💥💥 Black women are resilient.

Ayyyy I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥What value did you get from this episode?
This was a great panel! I hope there's another panel like this but with a more diverse group of black women. In Atlanta, there is a huge presence of African/Caribbean/Afro-Latino women. I hope next time they can be added and included. As a Nigerian woman, let me tell you....we do business!!!
Ms. April!!!! Wow, this was your day. I immediately looked you up and gotta meet you one day. I honestly stayed to listen to you. Your posture, your delivery, your wisdom were golden. You exude everything how a woman in business should be. You are in a lane on your own.
With a straight face Shay sat here and said she worked for Chrysler for 20 yrs. Now from what my eyes are seeing, I’m wondering what kind of child labor laws were broken bc ain’t no way. Melanin is low key WIZARDRY. It’s magical. #benjaminbutton #fountainofyouth
😂😂😂😂😂
How can we find Ms.Shay?
Ladies do not flirt, stay professional a. It all times ignore the comments from men and let them know you are about your business. Also do not dummy down yourself, a person needs to respect who you are and what your bring to the table in all aspects of life. You will feel better about yourself in the end and achieve the success that you want.
Donnie…it’s ok…we love you…it’s ok to just listen at times too…it comes across as defensive and combative at times…your spot is not in jeopardy…again…nothing but love for you…listen to Ms. April…she’s giving the game to you
Very nicely said, all of us that watched this together in my home felt exactly this way. She's a awesome lady but came across as if someone was trying take from her which wasn't the case at all. I do hope she goes back and watches this episode for herself and realize how she looked up there. We love her too and I definitely wish her even more Wonderful success!
@@joleannjackson6504 absolutely! I hope my comment wasn’t seen as hate…I think it was a learning experience for them and us.
I liked this epidsode. However, my only feedback is it felt like one person in particular was using what another lady was saying against her. After every comment, she would say something negative about the other lady opinion. I didn’t really like that. Overall, great epidsode.
👀👀👀
The audio Quality on this ep is distracting
Great job to all involved, first and foremost. Having said that, I mean this from a tactical/chronological standpoint: in seeing the title I had expected this to be about the difficult journey of starting and then scaling a business in chronological order. The hardest part is actually getting started. For example, how to get funding, securing a location, when to hire more employees, knowing how to let go and delegate. Instead a panel about business women was really all about MEN. I’m sure someone cares about how their success makes men feel, but I can’t be the only female entrepreneur hoping to actually learn something about the aforementioned topics. Perhaps this will have multiple parts and we will get to the most important things later. But just strictly speaking on the divine order of things, it seems like we are starting at what should be the very end if discussed at all. Having said that, I’d again like to reiterate that these ladies are amazing and I LOVE this channel. I had just hoped you’d talk more about B U S I N E S S the way your interviews are with men. But sincerely, thanks for all you do David. I mean that from the heart.
Girl say less.....this episode was good if it was about relationships when running a business. I want to start a business about teaching black women about customer service. I was hoping to glean from them about their struggles and trials with dealing clients. I especially wanted to learn about how they got started because I am struggling. How and where do I start? How do I building a following? I'm hoping that part 2 actually talks abou business.
@@womenetix EXACTLY! Don’t get me wrong there were definitely some hidden gems in there. But from watching countless of his interviews with men, I know what a BUSINESS discussion sounds like. This ain’t it. This was straight out of the “self help” section that preys on women’s insecurities in thinking their worth is defined by marriage and motherhood. Again, every topic has its place. But I honestly felt cheated. I’m definitely going to tune in for pt 2 in hopes of learning something about the beginning building blocks of business. I actually went looking for that “101” video since this one says “201” indicating they already covered the basics before.
Watching this episode 2 years later....Ms. April said being a Feminine woman can make other women dislike you. And I see how she set the tone of the entire conversation and the other women were playing catch up OR trying to disprove her point. ❤❤
I have loved every episode of this podcast that I have seen and Donni definitely adds value every time, so to this panel of women killing it was just fire!!!
Ayyyy I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥What value did you get from this episode?
@@RealSocialProof to just be a woman! You usually don't hear that but the more I think on that the more I see the importance of it. I'm on the armed forces where I'm from so my masculine energy was definitely up there lol. This was definitely a needed conversation.
I’m trying to get to the place and space that April Mason speak of.
You should definitely connect with April!

No seriously it was the grace, elegance, and confidence for me. I’m working on embodying these qualities. Working on your inner self. I get it. As a women. ✨✨✨✨
Wow! Donni was eaten up in these comments. 😅 Some of it was deserved but it’s okay to have a difference of opinion. Tahlia is a class act. Koeryelle seemed to play it safe & not make an attempt to say much. The lady next to David who looks like Sierra (VH1’s Love & Hip Hop) from the Glam Shop had good points. The woman in PR or the music business? offered valuable feedback but APRIL MASON owned thee show!!! Not only did she drop bars, she presented things from fresh perspectives & almost everything she said was MEMORABLE!!!
April is the goat!!!
I like Donnie but she def comes off as a bit competitive/confrontational. I’m an entrepreneur but I’m def a feminine woman. I have no desire to be masculine, train a man etc. I honestly cringed when she said that to Dave. When I come home from work, I’m ready to be led by my man and I 100% agree with April. There’s nothing wrong with hiring help, so that U can sit back and pamper yourself and live in your feminine essence. It’s very important for women to bask in their femininity.
We all cringed when she said it. My husband said “Wow, what did she say”. That was very disrespectful to him, his wife, & her boyfriend. Hopefully, we get to see her openly correct her choice of words and apologize to them. I like her on the podcast cohosting amongst themselves. At the table with women she don’t agree with was very uncomfortable to watch and listen to. It was almost a distraction and didn’t allow us to hear more from the guest. Overalls, we enjoyed the ladies. 👏🏽
@@loveandleadlikeaqueen I agree! I pray for Daves wife, she’s a strong woman cuz that was uncomfortable for me.
She’s exactly what everyone is saying she is…she’s masculine.
I LOVE confident Black women! So this was a Great episode for me. Learned a lot also.
Thank you! A married Women on the table 🔥🔥🔥🔥
*Newsflash, your not married until you go through the ceremony. Stop it.
Istg that’s what I was looking at!! Like “ain’t none of y’all married tho” 👀

Nope it's all a learning journey
This discussion said nothing about being feminine in order to avoid getting cheated on she was showing us how to operate within our feminine energy and still be dominant

@@RealSocialProof well I skipped past it because I usually watch your podcast for financial, business, motivational purposes so I didn't think I would get much value from it. It wasn't what I expected though. It was a REAL conversation, as they always are.
Great advice about teaching a young man how to court, lets make sure we teach our young ladies to respect themselves and expect a young man to treat you with respect. From my perspective and I am a man, quite a few men state women do not know how to respect a man.

There's a negative connotation to being "emotional" that shouldn't be there. We're human and trying to be emotionless, regardless of the gender, does more harm than good. What's important is how and when you express that emotion. That's what managing your emotions means. You're not trying to eliminate them altogether.
Well put, I think it's interchangeably used as good and bad but definitely needs more understanding. Understanding of emotion as well as management.
Ayyyy I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥 I love your insight!
All these women are Awesome! Even though Donnie at times made me sick hearing how she was coming off. I was loving her spirit until Donnie started being even more cocky and arrogant. She seems like a sweet lady without the " All about ME" syndrome. The rest of the ladies warmed my heart just by being real about everything. Letting people know where you came from and how far you came can relate to so many of us woman more these days because all our journeys are different and real. Love this and will continue to support!
Ayyy thanks for your continuous support 🙌🏾! What value did you get from this episode?
@@RealSocialProof To understand my journey, to take control of what I really want to do for myself instead of working for companies that will and can throw you away at any given moment, and that everything plays a part in a woman's success. I have been in corporate and have experienced being tossed to the side after making them rich, and being left with nothing to show for and feeling worthless because I no longer is valued or on the team with them because of downsizing. The relationships, marriage, kids, emotions, mental and how we conduct ourselves and our tone in speaking is a key topics that no one likes to address but needs to address to help others understand that they are not alone and should not be embarrassed to speak on it because you don't know who it can really help . Letting the world know that we are valuable, our self worth and we capable of having a successful business just as a man has. Having a partner that pushes and believes in your dreams and goals plus him supporting you, you supporting him does make a huge difference. How we get the attention in business and still be classy with a Boss mentality without having to use our bodies to get ahead. It's so much we can learn from all these ladies who were married with kids, single with kids, and the one who was just single. Embracing where we are at in our lives and going from that point and not doing what others think is best in our lives is also a major component in the business journey. Knowing who you are as a real woman, not what others expect, but what God has in you and made you to be. Understanding who we are before marriage so that we can be the wife we desire to be and become. Not beating ourselves up but examining ourselves so we can make better choices and decisions for our journey.
I loved everything these powerful Queens said. One thing I was hoping they would tap into more was the question as to whether women are more emotional than men. In my very strong opinion I would say absolutely men are more emotional than women. I agree that most women have to put their feelings aside for the greater good of the family, business, employer, team or what have you. Whereas men constantly make decisions based on ego/emotions. Men’s ego have landed this country in wars, men’s ego lead their poor decision making when it comes to cheating/infidelity, men’s emotion will not allow them to ask for help or be receptive to a woman’s opinion (even if the suggestion is good), men’s ego have gotten our families in debt and trouble, men’s ego often don’t make spaces for women. That is the truth. We are in a world of trouble now in this country based on a males ego/emotions.
Thank you for the insight 🔥
@@RealSocialProof bless!! For the record I still love our KINGS!! Thanks for the platform.
Donnie said it about men who listen when it comes from another male but not their own significant other. This has happened to me on several occasions. The funny part 🤣 is my significant other would come and tell me months down the line the exact same advice I gave him but instead it came from his cousin 😅. Everything I tell him goes out the window, but comming from his friends, cousins and any other male its like he discovered a new toy and wants to show me smh
lol same here! He coming around though cause he knows his wife stays with the gems
I resonate with Donni so much. She shows that femininity is not one thing, one image, one style. I’m in the fitness industry and that fine line with leveraging with flirting is real. I want the respect and could care less about stroking an ego. It’s business. If men can grasp that concept with other men, why can’t that grasp that with women?
because men and women are different lol. You dont talk about the same things to your girlfriend vs a man . Apples and oranges

@@RealSocialProof Listening is a skill that April demonstrated high level expertise. April seems petite but her essence overshadowed the other women (that were younger and some would say prettier).
This comment is just for the production in the future
The microphone rubbing or static were like fingernails on a chalk board. I’m only 4 mins in, and would love to finish but I won’t be able to if the sharp noises continue.
I agree, sound needs improvement in most episodes. I enjoy the podcast but wish more focus was put into production of each episode. Wish table was half-Circle as well, as camera angle for April and Shay was not the best. Background needed more tape as well and food was unnecessary as women, unlike men, won’t really “eat” with cameras and audience. Libations and maybe finger food would have been sufficient or maybe full meal before or after podcast for panel. As always, enjoyed the episode but let’s get to excellence!
Thank you soooo much for the feedback!
@@RealSocialProof been watching videos for awhile but never wanted to critique as folks take it as hating but this podcast has sooo much potential.
Not sure if production team feels like their there as audience members because too much seems to be slipping by them in the moment. Full attention should be on camera and sound the entire episode - nothing else. No reason RUclips viewers should be seeing the lady pouring panelist water- simply switch to the other camera angle.
1)Have production team watch after each episode and admit what can improve. 2)Try audio test of every mic “before” recording. 3) camera swapping needs to happen more cohesively, too often Donni talking and camera on David (example).
Too many people watching and needing inspiration to not deliver excellence. No reason these production issues should be happening after 200+ episodes. Y’all deserve excellence.
I looked through the comments before giving feedback. All of what LaKendra said. 👆🏾 I really want to enjoy all episodes but what deters me is the audio production. I listen until I can’t for most episodes because the sound is not conducive for headphones. Great content, poor sound. I look forward to witnessing the improvements. Kudos, Dave.

Ayyyy I appreciate you for tapping into the podcast! 🙌🏾🔥What value did you get from this episode?
All emotions are useful and should be welcomed as waymakers. Named, felt, then let go of. Even a "negative" emotion has purpose when you track down its roots. Many people (especially men) don't quite get how to express those feelings in a healthy way or in an appropriate time. So instead they bottle up, explode, then repeat.
Emotion is a vehicle of and for the spirit/energy, and not a waymaker.
The Principle is the waymaker, and the will/wheel that direct and lead the movement.
The emotional need,desire and problem puts the energy and will in motion or drive.
Why the principle,value and rule(strategy) wills the power and movement.
@fabulousswag6683 Ideally, yes. You want it to be that way but most people don't realize what principles they actually hold. Like the movie Inception there are many people who hold beliefs that didn't choose in them. Many people claim to be woke/aware but lack introspection.
When I say waymakers, I'm not talking about for your will or actions. Emotions are waymakers for where your current beliefs lie. From there you can recalibrate your compass to align with your principles.
Yes Ladies! Hey Mrs April Mason!
Black women are learning to communicate together in a group setting without the ego bashing and the constant need to out do each other. Yeah, its not about one black person verses another black person, its about moving and working together.

Really enjoyed this episode and the powerful women here. It seemed that Donni became a guest, though, rather than co-hosting this segment.
April came with all the tools. Looking forward to learning more from her as well as teaching Donnie ( Tan shirt next to April) She is rude cuts people off when they are talking.
I’m 11 minutes in just WAITING for Ms April to SPEAK honey!!!! I am LISTENING!
SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Its just different tools for a woman's tool box. Everyone is different. Like April said, its not this or that its this and that, when it comes to femininity & masculinity. Its a matter of your natural balance and its not as simple as male=masculine and female=feminine.
I love love love the idea Donni has of people just being who they are and being clear and firm about intent and boundaries. I wish everyone could be like that. And its beautiful when you can be in a room of people like that and work together. Unfortunately, everyone is not and stuff still has to get done around and thru people who's personalities may be more difficult for your personality to work with. In those situations all off the tools the ladies talked about can be useful. Just have to learn self and how to best adapt them to our own personality and the situation.
Ms. April!!!! You are amazing. You were the star of the show honestly.
Donnie, Donnie, Donnie.....you made this episode very awkward honestly. You kept bragging about your looks over and over again. We get it, you're pretty. Normally you are the reason why I watch the podcast but today, you came off confrontational and arrogant.
We get it, you are good at what you do. But this episode made me look at you differently.
Yeah... I hate that I agree with this.
The audio is horrible, please improve this too much feedback, and echos. Overall good conversation.
I thought it was my device?
The ‘ I’m a phd’ table 🥴
I wasn’t fast forwarding to the part where each one of them was talking with their hands (typical blank woman shit) looking to see if they were married….like dayum. I wish em the best, because winter is official here 🥶
