As America celebrates its 250th birthday, how should we remember our past?
Join me for the premiere episode of Season 250 of the Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZ, where we’ll explore one of the most important leadership conversations of our time.
This episode is based on my latest LinkedIn article:

💡 What You Will Learn
🇺🇸 Why Black history is not a separate story—but an essential part of the American story.
📚 Why Dr. Carter G. Woodson created Negro History Week, why it became Black History Month, and why I believe Black History Year is a natural continuation of that educational mission.
⚖️ Why understanding the Gettysburg Address, the Reconstruction Amendments, Juneteenth, and the Golden Thirteen helps us better understand America’s continuing journey toward a more perfect Union.
⚓ Why every military officer, public servant, and aspiring leader should study our complete history—not to assign guilt, but to develop wisdom, judgment, humility, and stronger leadership.
🔎 Why I believe the truth does not fear investigation, and why Black History Year is an invitation to examine original documents, military records, museums, biographies, and historical archives—not simply accept someone else’s conclusions.
🌎 How studying our shared and sometimes uncomfortable history can unite us around our highest ideals while inspiring us to continue Lincoln’s unfinished work of building a more perfect Union for all Americans.
Whether you’re a military leader, cybersecurity professional, educator, student, entrepreneur, or lifelong learner, I hope you’ll join this important conversation.

I’m excited to welcome Mildred Talabi—LinkedIn Top Voice, author, speaker, entrepreneur, former journalist, and founder of the Start Being Visible movement.
For years, Mildred has helped professionals—especially women—transform their expertise into influence, opportunities, and career growth by building authentic personal brands on LinkedIn. With more than 50,000 followers, four published books, and a global community of leaders, she has become one of the most trusted voices on professional visibility and personal branding.
Her message is simple, yet transformative:
“The difference between being knowledgeable and being an expert is visibility.”— Thomas J. Stanley
If you’ve ever wondered why talented professionals are overlooked while others consistently earn promotions, speaking invitations, leadership opportunities, and new clients, this conversation is for you.
🎯 What You Will Learn…
✅ Why you don’t have to quit your day job to become an entrepreneur—and how to build a profitable business alongside your career.
✅ How to identify the expertise, skills, and experiences people will gladly pay you for.
✅ The biggest myths that prevent talented professionals—especially women—from creating additional income and financial freedom.
✅ Why failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s the pathway to wisdom, resilience, and entrepreneurial growth.
✅ How to stop trading time for money and instead charge for the value you create.
✅ Practical steps to validate a business idea, find your first paying client, and launch before everything feels “perfect.”
✅ Why “done is better than perfect” and how overcoming perfectionism accelerates success.
✅ How faith, purpose, and confidence can help you overcome fear, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt.
✅ Why knowing your value is essential for negotiating salaries, pricing your services, and advocating for yourself with confidence.
✅ How AI can become a powerful business tool without replacing your authentic voice or unique expertise.
✅ Why meaningful conversations—not expensive websites or logos—are often the fastest path to building a successful business.
✅ How to create greater financial freedom, more choices, and a lasting legacy by transforming your existing expertise into extra income.
✨ Bonus: Discover the key lessons from Mildred Talabi’s bestselling book, Start Being Visible, and learn why visibility remains a powerful accelerator for attracting opportunities, building credibility, and growing both your career and your business.

S5:E154🎙️ LIVE with 🇺🇸AMERICA 250: Leadership Lessons From the Gettysburg AddressLeadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZSeason 5 | Episode 154 | LIVE
As America celebrates her 250th birthday, we pause to reflect on one of the most influential leadership speeches ever delivered.
President Abraham Lincoln’s 272-word Gettysburg Address was far more than a dedication speech—it was a masterclass in leadership, strategic communication, moral courage, and visionary leadership during one of the darkest moments in our nation’s history.
Join me as we explore the timeless leadership principles that continue to shape military commanders, business executives, public servants, and emerging leaders more than 160 years later.
This special episode is based on my latest LinkedIn article:
🇺🇸 America 250: Leadership Lessons From the Gettysburg Addresshttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/america-250-leadership-lessons-from-gettysburg-zinga--9ua3c/
📅 Wednesday, July 15, 2026⏰ 9:00 AM PT (San Francisco) | 12:00 PM ET (Washington, D.C.)📍 LIVE on LinkedIn → RSVP & Join the Discussion
🎯 What You’ll Learn
✅ Why Lincoln chose the Declaration of Independence instead of the Constitution as the foundation of his speech—and why every leader should understand the difference.
✅ The six timeless leadership principles hidden within just 272 words that continue to inspire leaders around the world.
✅ Why great leaders reconnect people to purpose before they focus on execution.
✅ How to communicate with extraordinary clarity by mastering the power of brevity.
✅ The importance of transforming setbacks, sacrifice, and adversity into renewed commitment and “unfinished work.”
✅ Why humility—not ego—is the hallmark of exceptional leadership.
✅ How Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and the Reconstruction Amendments reshaped America’s understanding of freedom, citizenship, and equality.
✅ Why the commissioning of the Golden Thirteen on March 19, 1944, forever changed the history of the United States Navy—and ultimately made my own journey to serving as a Commander possible.
✅ Practical leadership lessons for aspiring Naval officers, cybersecurity leaders, and professionals preparing to lead teams through uncertainty and change.
Whether you’re preparing for command, transitioning from an individual contributor into leadership, or simply striving to become a better servant leader, this conversation is for you.
As Lincoln reminded us, every generation inherits “the unfinished work.”
The question is:
What unfinished work has been entrusted to you?
