Blow Your Mind(set)
Welcome to the Blow Your Mind(set) Podcast — where ordinary moments meet extraordinary mindset shifts. 🎙️
In a world that’s noisy, messy, and constantly moving, we slow things down just enough to ask: "Did that really just happen?"
I’m your host, Nicole Smith — emotional intelligence expert, mindset disruptor, and your favorite thought partner in this wild ride we call leadership and life.
Every episode, we crack open the stories, shifts, and surprises that challenge how we think, lead, and show up. From boardrooms to breakups, social trends to self-talk, we’re unpacking it all through the lens of emotional brilliance.
You’ll hear powerful solo episodes and unfiltered conversations with game-changers, thought leaders, and real people doing the inner work. No fluff. Just real talk, real insight, and a real push to think differently.
Whether you're navigating a personal pivot or leading in high-pressure spaces — this is your space to reset, reframe, and blow your mindset wide open.
Let’s get into it.

Leadership Outlook of GenZ (Part 1 of 2)
They are coming HOT! The GenZ generation are coming out of college and they are ready to lead...but are they? Baby Boomers are retiring at 10K a day!!! Are you ready for the next generation of leaders?
Listen as Dr. Rosalyn Harrington, Dr. Dawn Nail, and Dr. Geleana Alston, all from HBCUs, speak on how the the pandemic disruption, racial disruptions, and political disruptions have changed how GenZ views the workforce and the perspective they have of the leaders leading the charge.
Parts of this conversation include:
Dr. Harrington stated, "I have to rewire their perspective" and influence how her students within the criminal justice program view law enforcement and that industry.
Dr. Nail stated, "I have make sure I give my students all the resources they need to thrive and be successful in class to make their dreams a reality."
Dr. Alston hopes that all the students going into the workforce have learned resilience and learn followership to allow them to become exemplary leaders.
Listen to Part 1 and continue Part 2 next week for an enlightening discussion! We have to embrace that GenZ is here and they are coming into the workforce eager and ready to make an impact.
