LEAD

Julie and Casey sit down with Brittany Gooden (founder of the Good End) to talk about changing the way we think about business, why we can't make change using the same tools that can hurt us, questioning tradition with truth, the surprising healing journey of entrepreneurship, and measuring success by lives changed, not dollars earned. TOP TAKEAWAYS  Effective leadership requires you to slow down, get vulnerable, stop comparing yourself to others, and most of all to heal yourself first. Trust yourself: Your life experience is wisdom waiting to be deciphered It's okay not to know everything.   Not all advice is good advice—get curious where they are coming from to see if it fits with your journey Success can be measured by all kinds of metrics, not just monetary ones. When you don't know what people need, ASK and then LISTEN to what they tell you.   About Brittany Gooden: The idea for Good End came to Brittany when she realized how often friends of small businesses approached her to help them create digital content to support their brand marketing. But with her experience in content creation working on large-scale productions in TV, media, and advertising, she knew the ins and outs of creating just one piece of content would require a thought-out strategy and a sizable budget that almost always wouldn’t guarantee a significant return. Most of these knowledge seekers happened to be trailblazing women and people of color whose businesses are centered around a cause, so Brittany sought to help them create the marketing and digital tools they need on their own so their companies can continue to thrive. With an eye for engaging visuals and a passion for supporting the entrepreneurial community, Good End was formed.⁠  Find the Good End at good-end.com

LEAD with Brittany Gooden: On building new leadership, and breaking norms of tradition with truth, love, and compassion

Doc Filmmaker

NEW EPISODE COME UP. Get ya tea, pens and thinking caps ready. This is a movement - not a moment.  Brittany Gooden, recently featured in a Pink Among Men women crushing it segment, where we promoted her fundraising campaign for STRANGE BIRD, a documentary seeking #JusticeforIzellParrott, is back this week and this time we are talking with her directly! Ernest Media CEO Brittany Gooden is a filmmaker with  8+ years working in TV, media and advertising. For her directorial debut, she is raising a fund to continue shooting and pursuing experienced production partners to develop Strange Bird as as a series examining Izell Parrott’s death. The series will dive into the various elements surrounding Izzy’s death: physical evidence, circumstantial evidence, potential suspects and key players from the sheriff’s office, local news publications, Glens Fall, NY residents and Izzy’s family.  She is the niece of Izell and grew up in Glens Falls, New York, where she has worked independently over two years to capture footage and interviews with Izzy’s family and key members of the community. From Brittany: "Strange Bird is personal. It is a story about America. It is a story about family. It is a story about truth. As an emerging filmmaker, I could not be more eager for this story to be my directorial debut. More than just an opportunity to serve my passion to make a documentary film, this is truly an opportunity to shed light and find answers about the tragic death of my uncle, Izell “Izzy” Parrott." Brittany chats with us about how she's balancing the brevity of emotions that come with undertaking a film like this, and what the response has been since releasing the trailer. It is a motivational and insightful hour.
