So when I started the Odyssey community, I like to call it, it was about being in a safe place, in a safe environment where we could be ourselves with like-minded women and just fill up under

the sisterhood and that spawned a conference, a community, a portal, other events, but it was about creating a safe space for us where we didn't always

have to live in two worlds.

You're listening to Side Hustle Prompt, the podcast that teaches you to build and grow your

Side Hustle from Passion Project to profitable business and I'm your host

Nakela Matthews-acome. So let's get started.

Hey, hey guys, welcome back to the show. Today in the guest chair, we have Linda Spradley Dunn,

a woman who is the epitome of knowing the value she brings to the table and who is not

afraid to go out and get hers. Prior to being an entrepreneur, she spent 14 years at IBM, where she received numerous awards and moved quickly through the ranks, but she always knew that she would one day be her own boss. So, armed with her world-class training from IBM, Linda

finally stepped out on her own. Twenty years later, she commands the ear and marketing

dollars of Fortune 500 companies that seek her advice

on multicultural marketing strategies and want to connect with the powerful community

of multicultural affluent affluent, and

influential women in her Odyssey Media network.

So what's Odyssey Media?

Odyssey is a unique organization that provides an unparalleled blend of programs and resources, including

things like conferences, business retreats, boot camps, digital forums, and more.

The Odyssey Network of Women includes senior corporate executives, seasoned entrepreneurs,

attorneys, physicians, women in transition, you name it. Odyssey is an organization that is unapologetic about gathering like-minded women to explore everything

from venture capital to rock climbing. I really enjoyed my conversation with Linda and I know you will too so let's jump right into it.

Welcome to the guest chair Linda.

Thank you.
