Angelic Marnier is the Founder of Corporate Countdown – a web based coaching system that helps women transition out of their 9 to 5 jobs and into careers that excite them. She is a Cum Laude UCLA graduate, with a BA in Mass Communications. Born in Washington, DC, her and her Mom moved to Southern California when she was 7 and she grew up in Inglewood with dreams of making it big. Her first jobs out of college were at Fox and Disney. She quickly learned that corporate America was not a good fit for her, so she dove feet first into real estate financing. There she really was able to make her mark and got a good taste of not having a boss and making her own schedule. She was in love. Unfortunately, when the real estate market crashed during the great recession she made the move back to corporate America, still in real estate financing. She worked her way to the top where she was dealing with the firm’s highest-echelon clients, those having $1M+ in liquid assets. While working with these types of clients every day she began to see common traits and more importantly she saw that she could get to where they were at too. Time after time her and her co-workers would talk and dream about getting out of their desk jobs, but had no clue how. They needed a proven system they could follow and see results that would allow them to replace their income so that they could spend more time with their kids and spouses, instead of giving the best hours of their day to someone else’s dream. They wanted to have a safe transition out, so there were no major interruptions in their income...and that’s how Corporate Countdown came to be.

Finish Strong

Hi, my name is Ynetta CEO of Boss Hair Lab. Ever since I was 16 I’ve been learning how to care for my own hair. It’s been a journey from relaxed, to jerry curls, to braids, to extensions, to bald-headed scallywag, to natural, etc. It’s been a long journey, but I have learned a lot and now I love educating and helping people to properly take care of their beautiful, kinky, coily, hair. My knowledge is based on my trials and tribulations from experimenting on mine, my family, and my friend's hair. I’m aware and sensitive to the challenges many black women have when it comes to maintaining and growing their hair, and I provide solutions to help you with the process. I am available for hair consultations and I created a wonderful Ayurvedic hair oil called Vital Veggie Oil. It is comprised of 14 different herbs and oils that are sourced from 10 countries. I handmake every batch and it takes 6 weeks to produce every vital drop. Boss Hair Lab uses natural, organic, high-quality ingredients which are eco-friendly, not tested on animals, free of synthetic fragrances, and silicones.

Latoya Baldwin is a dedicated career woman, seasoned HR professional, devoted mother and a (soon to be) published author. She is passionate about helping people in realizing their personal and professional goals in life. Ms. Baldwin graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Finance. However, early on in her career, she realized that her real interest lay in aligning people strategies with business objectives. This led her to move from banking & finance to the retail sector and transitioned into the field of human resources. Over the years, as a HR business partner, she has led transformation initiatives with Fortune 40 corporations to benefit tens of thousands of personnel. The devastating impact in 2020, caused by the outbreak, had her witness the fragility of the labor market with a large number of layoffs that are still ongoing. This caused her to use her personal brand and help the affected people in improving their chances of gaining employment and rebuilding their lives. In September 2020, Latoya launched her blog latoyabaldwin.com where she guides ambitious young women in furthering their careers. When she’s not working, you can find Latoya giving back to her community and making memories with her family.  More about me - https://www.latoyabaldwin.com/about Connect with Jacent: On Instagram At WamalaWellness.com On Youtube SUBSCRIBE | The Jacent’s Gems Podcast On Anchor.fm On Apple Podcasts Sponsorships: off for this episode --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jacentsgems/support
