posted by Coach Daymond E. Lavine, CLC FOUNDER OF PLURARPRENEUR® Certified Life Coach (CLC) | Life, Business and Brand Coaching There Is a Leadership Vacuum in This Age of Quiet Power There is a particular kind of loneliness that doesn’t come from being lost. It comes from  seeing clearly —and realizing the world has no place prepared for you. Not because you lack direction. Not because you lack discipline. Not even because you lack results. But because the systems around you were never designed to recognize people who think ahead of them. Many of us walk through life carrying a quiet self‑loathing that we don’t name out loud. It shows up as frustration. As impatience. As a low‑grade anger we aim inward because it feels safer than naming the truth: “If I’m so capable, why does everything feel so misaligned?” That question haunts the most powerful thinkers of our time. A World Loud With Noise—and Empty of Leadership We are surrounded by answers. They glare at us from screens, headli...

posted by Coach Daymond E. Lavine, CLC FOUNDER OF PLURARPRENEUR® Certified Life Coach (CLC) | Life, Business and Brand Coaching The Quiet Questions America Is Afraid to Ask There are quiet questions a lot of people in America are asking themselves right now. They aren’t asking them out loud. They aren’t posting them online. They’re barely even admitting them to themselves. But the questions are there—persistent, unsettling, impossible to ignore: Is all of this really happening? And is this truly what I’m supposed to accept as my future—for the rest of my life? These questions aren’t always about money. They aren’t always about work or family. They’re about  life . And right now, life feels… fractured. Coping with that fracture—mentally, emotionally, spiritually—has become one of the greatest challenges of our time. America Isn’t Just Divided — It’s Disoriented People are experiencing this moment in wildly different ways. Some feel overworked and underpaid. Some feel educated, capa...

Lavine aka Daymond Inspires™️ THE PLURARPRENEUR® Certified Life Coach | Holistic Pluralistic Entrepreneurship Coach When Is the Right Time for Your Nonprofit to File for 501(c)(3) Status? Recently, I worked with a new client to help them secure 501(c)(3) status for their nonprofit, and their journey inspired me to write this post. Before we connected, they were feeling discouraged about the process, unsure if they had what it took to move forward. The legal paperwork, IRS filings, and structural requirements felt overwhelming. But after seeing all that I’ve built and accomplished, they realized that success was possible for them too—they just needed the right guidance. Now, their nonprofit is officially certified, and we’re shifting our focus to branding, fundraising, and community impact. Their story is one I’ve seen time and time again: passionate individuals with a vision, held back by uncertainty, until they get the right support. If you're wonderi...

Lavine aka Daymond Inspires™️ THE PLURARPRENEUR® Certified Life Coach | Holistic Pluralistic Entrepreneurship Coach Pluravision™: A Vision Board Workshop That Sparked Collaborative Growth On Friday evening, February 7, 2025, at Perimeter Zen , my private event loft in the Dallas Design District , I had the privilege of hosting the Pluravision™ Vision Board Workshop —a transformative experience that brought together ambitious entrepreneurs looking to craft a clear roadmap for success. This event was a deeply personal one for me, not just because it revived a lost tradition of vision board workshops after COVID-19 disrupted these powerful gatherings, but because it was a collaborative effort with one of my own Plurapreneur® mentees. Why Pluravision™? Why Now? After years of watching vision board workshops disappear from the entrepreneurial space, I knew it was time to bring them back— but with a higher purpose . Entrepreneurs today aren’t just looking...

THIS MONTH IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF STRUGGLES WE SOMETIMES FORGET. EVERYONE Deserves Respect. So Give to Others What You Expect. As the world turns with climate calamities and federal indictments of high profile people, you've probably also been keeping tabs on the media coverage around LGBTQIA+ Pride month, happening right now. It's wonderful that this month exists, especially since it is a celebration of advancement amidst chaotic challenges threatening to squander democratic rights. Sure, there has been wonderful progress made; however, as certain successes have come about, opponents still rise to annihilate the wonderful humanitarian connections that stand to make us all better. I'd like for you to understand that very clearly, Evolver. So that is the reason for me writing this post. How about we talk basics? Sure, many of you already know about the New York Stonewall Riots, and you may now be bored with and feel distant from that historical fundamental narrative. T...

DON'T FEEL SMALL, YOU CAN DO GREAT THINGS TO SAVE THE WORLD. Right now, there is a lot going on in the world that is troubling for many of us. In fact, so many aweful things are happening all around us that we may feel helpless. To name a few, as Oprah has already chided to us, women's rights are being taken away, books are being banned, history is being retold, the US Supreme Court is dangerously corrupt, the debt ceiling is bankrupting us, the climate is killing us, the LGBTQIA+ community is being wrongfully attacked, the Cold War is back, and children are getting gunned down by military rifles in the streets. Wow! That's a lot to handle, right? Yet, we still try to go about living our lives acting as if nothing is wrong. Obviously, all of this is a total strain on our psyches, whether you choose to realize that or not. I have personally struggled with trying to maintain my focus on living a healthy and mentally stable life. I suspect many of you do as well. That str...
