Entrepreneur: Attorney Jalene Mack discusses ten tips on developing your business.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Attorney Jalene Mack

Widely known as “America’s Favorite Entertainment Attorney.” The episode focuses on protecting creative and business assets, avoiding scams, and building a solid foundation for success in the entertainment industry and beyond.

🎯 Key Themes & Takeaways 🔹 The Lure of the Bad Deal

  • Jalene warns about scammers posing as producers or financiers in the entertainment industry.
  • These individuals often:
    • Claim to have access to major networks or funding.
    • Ask creators to sign away rights or pay deposits under false pretenses.
    • Lack a verifiable digital footprint (e.g., no IMDb, LinkedIn, or credible references).
  • Rashawn emphasizes the danger of the “lottery mentality” — believing one deal will change everything.

🛡️ Legal Red Flags

  • Never assign your copyright without legal review.
  • Be cautious of contracts that require you to relinquish ownership or control.
  • Escrow accounts can be manipulated if you don’t control the signature authority.
  • Always verify the legitimacy of a deal and the people behind it.

🧠 Jalene Mack’s Top 10 Business Development Tips

  1. Identify Your Project

    • Know what you’re creating (film, TV, product, etc.).
    • Define the scope and format clearly.
  2. Make Sure You Have a Plan

    • Know where your funding will come from and how it will be used.
  3. Form a Team

  4. Prepare a Budget

    • Hire a line producer or financial expert.
    • Account for everything: cast, crew, locations, marketing, etc.
  5. Form a Business Entity

    • Establish an LLC or corporation to protect your personal assets.
  6. Get an EIN (Employer Identification Number)

    • Required for tax and banking purposes.
  7. Open a Business Bank Account

    • Keep personal and business finances separate.
  8. Protect Your Assets

    • Register copyrights and trademarks.
    • Use NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) to safeguard ideas.
  9. Contracts

    • Always put agreements in writing.
    • Hire an attorney experienced in your specific industry (e.g., film, music, TV).
  10. Marketing

    • Don’t assume people will show up just because your product is good.
    • Build a brand and promote it strategically.

📚 Jalene’s Book

  • Title: The Business of Stage Screen and In Between
  • A practical guide for performers, playwrights, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs.

🗣️ Final Thoughts

Uplift: She explains why therapy helps individuals navigate uncertainty and redefine stability.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Moniek Garside. A licensed clinical social worker and founder of Fit Life Wellness. Here's a comprehensive summary of the episode: 🎙️ Guest: Moniek Garside Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia, Colorado, Illinois, South Carolina, and Minnesota. Founder of Fit Life Wellness, a private mental health and wellness practice. Author of the guided journal I Can, I Will. 🧠 Key Topics Discussed 🧘‍♀️ What Therapy Really Is Therapy is not just “talking on a couch”—it’s a safe space for vulnerability, healing, and personal growth. It involves unpacking emotional challenges, not just surface-level advice. 🔄 Life Transitions Includes shifts like: Moving from corporate to entrepreneurship Divorce or children leaving home Personal reinvention Therapy helps individuals navigate uncertainty and redefine stability. 🧑‍💼 Mental Health for Entrepreneurs Entrepreneurs often neglect self-care in pursuit of success. Therapy helps them prioritize balance, manage burnout, and maintain mental clarity. Moniek emphasizes the importance of processing emotions and having a support system. 📘 About the Book: I Can, I Will A 30-day guided journal with weekly themes and daily prompts. Designed to help individuals: Reflect on their emotions Reset their mindset Overcome depression, anxiety, and life transitions Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and MoniekGarside.com 🧩 Common Mental Health Misconceptions Mental health is often oversimplified or trivialized on social media. Terms like “anxiety” and “boundaries” are used without understanding. Real healing requires professional guidance, not just affirmations or apps. 🧍‍♀️ Moniek’s Personal Journey Originally a nursing major, she transitioned to social work after realizing her passion was emotional care. She created Fit Life Wellness to have autonomy in how she supports clients. She is both a therapist and a therapy client—emphasizing the importance of self-work. 🧠 Mental Health Red Flags Depression: Irritability, isolation, loss of interest, low motivation. Anxiety: Racing thoughts, physical symptoms (e.g., heart palpitations), constant worry. 🧰 Therapy vs. Technology Apps and AI tools can supplement mental health care (e.g., affirmations, breathing exercises). But they cannot replace the human connection and insight of a trained therapist. 🌐 Connect with Moniek Garside Website: MoniekGarside.com Practice: Fit Life Wellness Services: Virtual therapy, clinical supervision, mental health resources #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
