Knowing Your Why with Genesis Amaris Kemp | Ep. 112

• Genesis explains starting with the end in mind and reverse engineering your life goals. She recommends writing your own obituary to clarify desired accomplishments and impact.

Your why is going to be your derivative that drives you. And it's going to be the vehicle to help you navigate through life.

• Her personal whys include being a good wife and mother, leaving an impact on cancer patients, and diabetes awareness in honor of her late father.

• Tiffany emphasizes that your why should spark emotion and intrinsic motivation rather than relying on external rewards that can waver.

You're either going to be a victor or you're going to be a victim.

• Tiffany reframes challenges: 'I don't say life happens to me. I say life happens for me.'

• Genesis shares a story about going directly to a VP instead of following chain of command, which backfired but taught valuable lessons about workplace dynamics.

A mistake is a mistake and it's going to teach you something, whether you want it or not. But be open minded to learn because if you're not learning you're not growing.

• Tiffany notes that a closed mouth doesn't get fed—you have to take calculated risks to discover opportunities.

• Genesis reframes collaboration as synergy rather than competition, emphasizing mutual value exchange and long-term relationship building.

Collaboration is not the new competition. Collaboration is the new synergy, meaning that we're building partnerships and we're going further versus trying to go fast by ourselves.

• She advises moving from 'what's in it for me' to 'what's in it for we' and abandoning the crabs-in-a-barrel mentality.

• Genesis shares her website and offers three free gifts: a chapter from her book 'Chocolate Drop in Corporate America,' a health assessment, and a health sample product called Sunrise.
