2026 AND NEW THOUGHTS!

January 11, 2026 / William Burrell Philpot IV

NOT #JusTHOUGHTS…but then again.

Of some of the greatest differences between animals and humans is the ability—our ability—to create worlds. Humans are capable of perceiving the world to imagine and reimagine then to work towards creating and manifesting those thoughts—those…ideas and concepts. We can perceive and critically think about those things around us—physical and non-physical. We can create our worlds where we’re truly free to do so. Without manipulation and influence, we have the power to create our own spaces and places that not resemble and represent who we are but also influence us for the future.

In light of all that has occurred in 2025 and even currently, we as a business are engaged in developing products and activities to further appreciate, encourage and inspire Black and Brown individuals, entities and communities for the future. We believe in conscious work. We believe in conscious and intentional work to create the worlds we need and deserve. It may not seem like what might be needed but it’s what we’re providing based on what we believe and are coming from…and that’s that the Melanated deserve more than what’s ever been given!

INTELLIGENCE. ETHNICITY. INNOVATION.

*While there are many things going on, we must not forget to take time to look within to see where we are as a people in order to move forward. Keep in mind that all that’s being done is because of fear—their fear. This was an important time for them to gain power because the landscape has been changing and changing quite quickly. Black and Brown and other People have been able to see progress and success via technologies, knowledge, information and access to new kinds of markets. With all this chaos, we become entrenched and encompassed in thoughts and ideas about self-pride and identity in the form of freedom and rights. We must not forget to look beyond the today and the ideas of today about the future. They’re already looking towards the future where they are supreme. They feel unburdened by issues and obstacles and oppression. They and theirs will feel empowered and free and that “empowerment” and “freedom” allows for room and space for thought.

We must continue to think of ourselves beyond the confines they’re continuing to try to burden us by. Some of us must think further and further into the future because the future deserves for us to. Let us be further encouraged, inspired and empowered by our adversities to build and build better upon what was before. While we continue the fight for today, let us give a way for the next to fight for tomorrow…today and always into their tomorrows.

SOMETHING THAT MATTERS!

December 30, 2025 / William Burrell Philpot IV

Inspired by select reads and self-development programs, for 2026 we’re using our creative pursuits to inspire other motivational pursuit to encourage and inspire.

Our art—the Art of Liam Ian Black and others—is to reflect who we are and where we stand. Where we’re from and where we’re headed.

I’m a Father and Husband while being an Artist, Designer and Photographer. I’ve been moderately loved and almost abundantly hated for ensuring my own survival. I’ve endured child abuse and abandonment and even lies about my father only to never learn the truth. I’ve existed in a place and space where I questioned my own existence being told that I shouldn’t be here and that I wasn’t intended because “she” wasn’t in love with my father…which is why she couldn’t remember who he was.

I’ve seen loss. I’ve known disappointment. I’ve wrestled with existing within lies when those lies have made the dimension, reality and life that was once me and my identity. I’ve known what it's like to feel like the step-child and to never truly feel accepted or included—fully included and accepted.

Returning to the ideals of self-work thru self-reflection not for self-mastery but to truly give and contribute to others.

I’ve known solitude and loneliness. I’ve known the feeling of helplessness within busy packed rooms. I’ve known what it feels like to cry only to have people believe you’re “doing too much” or exaggerating your pain. I’ve known what it feels like to be caged and even starved. I’ve known what it feels like to be reduced down to noting more than a burden…and out of all of this…

I’ve come to believe that my continued existence…is…divine. Divine. No more divine than anyone else’s but that which would be unique to every unique individual. This unique life of mine is uniquely divine.

*As we move forward, we’re striving to keep artists, designers, photographers and entrepreneurs appreciated, encouraged and inspired. We’re reducing our pricing for the new year for Coaching and Consultations.

TWO CONSULTATIONS IN ONE WEEK.

November 06, 2025 / William Burrell Philpot IV

Jean-Michel Basquiat (Self-Portrait), 1982

SIMILAR CONVERSATIONS BUT BOTH HIGHLY ENLIGHTENING…as the Consultant.

LESSONS

Never underestimate the need to be heard and the feeling of connection.

Two consultations this past week and upon review and assessment, l've come to the conclusion that I limit my own self sometimes. I limit myself by thinking I need to be seen or heard. Sometimes we get in our own way of creating when trying to create to appeal...when what we really need to do is to create for ourselves.

Learn to create for yourself. Take yourself out of the commercial, corporate and capitalist mindset of doing for money and do your thing by creating to express yourself. Create to manifest the version of yourself you want to become. Create to not only communicate but to also grow.

We lack adequate development sometimes because we're only facilitating growth as defined and directed by our environments. True growth-the catalyst to true powerful impactful growth-comes from making the decision to change and change in the way of refusing all that is and has become normalized within our families, friendships and communities. Question who you are and what you have done and test the waters in doing things different than the regular scheduled programs.

When you "do"—when you act for change--act for yourself and NOT for others. Truly, it will always be others that after yourself will serve as your most difficult obstacles yet powerful lessons.

—Liam lan

*Fact is that some can actually produce with an intent and pursuit for some financial gain taking on the agendas or commissions of others but then there those who rely on pure mental and emotional inspiration. It’s not my advice to not create or produce for profit but there’s much ore value in those works that represent a moment, perspective, or experience that fuel the creative process.

MINDFUL GOAL-SETTING

January 21, 2025 / William Burrell Philpot IV

Plain and simple, as a supplemental product to “THE MOTIVATION BOOK”, we’ve developed our own proprietary system that Encourages and Inspires Artists to Entrepreneurs to even Family Leaders to hold fast to their lives by planning and gaining Vision enough to create their Mission.

Out of our practice within Coaching and Consulting, we’ve developed this system inspired by others that have been long-time leading names within Self-Help, Encouragement and Productivity. Our system is common-sense and so we believe it has the potential to become common-place. It is our hope and drive for this system to become common-place for Creatives of Color, Ethnicity and Culture further acknowledging our commitment to “Intelligence, Ethnicity and Innovation.”

This product is set to debut in February 2025! Stay tuned!

*As a byproduct of my passion of creative writing; poetry and fiction, I’ve also come to understand the place of journaling, assessing and planning. The process of writing often gives clarity thru slowing things down to review and gain an understanding in order to articulate thoughts effectively. Yes, it’s dependent on many factors of the individual but for me, to write does a lot of good for me. A crucial part of the RED BOOK process of developing creative ideas, writing is a fundamental part of investigating and cultivating potential ideas.

I encourage—therefore we encourage—the process of writing. We encourage it not only for critical thinking but to cultivate better and better ideas. We encourage our clients and customers and partners and audiences to engage the process of writing. Write whether on paper or on your mobile device. Gather your thoughts and go thru the process of organizing them into articulation. Do this to go back to them later. Do this to expand upon them. Do this—do it—just because it’s a healthy thing to do. Write…to Create!
