Lauren DeLisa ColemanThe Rise Of The SmartPower Class By Lauren DeLisa Coleman
Lauren DeLisa Coleman is to be the Anti-Oprah, in terms of recognizing that in the new “leaderful” era the best approach is to provide maximum perspective and digi-socio support rather than try and dominate behavior as the gurus of old, Coleman is well-positioned as an information source and power player in the socio-mobile space. Frustrated and confused as to why so much of what the 18-34 market segment has been told will work to ensure great lives but doesn’t, this demographic is turning to Coleman as a source because of or her no-holds barred approach that brings in a tech mash-up. Coleman has taken the lead knowing that the best one can do now is support people, particularly 18-34 in finding their own voice amidst turbulent times and how to best use digital platforms in the Era of Me. Her SmartPower tribe consists of the hip, young the neo-human who is self-determinant, socially conscious and uses tech extensions to explore and express. Coleman speaks, writes and consults on the convergence of 18-34 with tech platforms and examines the impact of that on culture an business.

Rae(gan) Mathis is a DC-based writer and blogger, originally from Detroit, Michigan by way of Birmingham, Alabama, and writes the inspirational lifestyle blog From Rae With Love. She has been a waitress, a bartender, a corporate trainer, worked in retail, worked in medical labs and worked in legal departments – not many jobs left unturned.
Above all she is a lover of God, a daughter, a friend, a God-mother, an amateur chef, a wine enthusiast and a writer. With equal doses of wit, love, truth and soul she writes about her life experiences in hopes to leave the world around her a better place than she found it. An imperfect but strong supporter of love and service, she encourages people to be nice, mind their manners and do right by other people.
Along the road of life she’s found a love for God, an uncanny ability to never meet a stranger, the foresight to see the writing on the wall and learned the art of the story.
She is a woman who believes everything can be fixed with prayer, a lot of love, the right words, a fabulous home cooked meal, a glass of wine and a renewing piece of literature. This process should be on repeat as needed.
Rae(gan) will live on our show tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern/6 p.m. p.m. Pacific.
