AB 263 Live! Cops, Connections and Candid Conversations with Corey Pegues and Kelli Richards Jun 29, 2020

Show notes

At the C-Suite Network, we continue our commitment to keep the difficult conversations at the forefront. Today’s episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett featured two insightful, candid conversation.

We start with Corey Pegues – who went from a crack dealer to a decorated veteran of the NYPD. Corey and Jeffrey talk about the “Blue Wall” of police culture, why all police officers shouldn’t be lumped together, and what he thinks needs to change with our police force. Corey talks about why he feels that this moment is different for the Black Lives Matter movement and what needs to be done to change the overall culture of justice in America.

The topic may have switched to connections for the second half of the show, but the conversation is just as real. Kelli Richards, the president of All Access Group, is known in Silicon Valley as a “super connector.” She has worked with some of the biggest names in tech and music throughout her career; and while Kelli hates to drop names, Jeffrey does coax a few out of her, and your jaw might drop. Beyond her client list, Kelli gets real about how hard it is to stay positive and why it’s important to lean into your communities during times like these.

AB 256 Live! Ugly Racial Secrets Revealed with Ret. Sgt. Cheryl Dorsey and Dr. Jeffrey Gardere Jun 16, 2020

Show notes

Racism, police brutality, and brutal honesty. This episode of “All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett” tackles the biggest issue right now with the help of co-host Rolonda Watts.

First, we get an inside glimpse of one of the largest police departments in the country. Retired LAPD Sergeant Cheryl Dorsey, who worked all four bureaus in Los Angeles, talks about how the culture inside police departments starts at the top. She added why minorities don’t want to call the police and how her philosophy “I care, but I don’t” helped her deal with the stress of the job. Sgt. Dorsey mentioned how every police department has a “Billy Bad Ass” and why she thinks the movement to ‘defund’ the police is missing the mark. If you really want to change your community’s police department, Sgt. Dorsey says there’s one thing you can do that has nothing to do with money.

Dr. Jeffrey Gardere joins us for the second half of the show. Known as “America’s Psychologist” for his numerous TV appearances, Dr. Jeff talked about what all this racial unrest is doing to the nation’s psyche. Dr. Jeff says while we need to be honest about how we feel, this time feels different. There’s a diversity to the protesters you don’t often see. He believes the feelings on the streets might get uglier before it gets better, especially with the election coming up, but we must continue the forward momentum for equality. Dr. Jeff was honest himself, talking about the differences between white and black America and some of the things he does personally not to stand out.
