It seems President Obama is in legacy mode. It’s a bookend to those earlier days of being in campaign mode. So he recently addressed youth activists in London, sharing his take on making a difference. It might be said he’s bringing the KoolAid while Beyoncé is selling ‘Lemonade’ on the world stage.

In his cool-cat manner he told the activists “You have a responsibility to prepare an agenda that is achievable —that can institutionalize the changes you seek and to engage the other side.” Prez and Bey show us how game changers add the price tag of hustle and the cost of living to grow their ranking.

As his presidency unwinds, he shared some good pointers for workers, movers & shakers. He reflected on the difference between making noise and making waves. Just as the ocean teaches us, there’s a consistency that flows from the deep to the shallow. So it’s more than making a living, it’s modeling a life.

With her newest album release in a HBO video-diary, she’s a game changer who reminds us that it’s more than just making music but also making others wiser. As millennials pass baby boomers in census numbers maybe there’s a shift in using her own journey and story to stir-up a stream of consciousness.

The buzz since the album release has been off the charts. Both Prez and Bey are using their work to make it worth something. Things can feel stuck when we just get by or if the soul don’t dream no more. They show us how our efforts become worthy of more by moving from merely brand force to soul force.

Seems Prez Obama in legacy mode. Before his term hits the road. A bookend to those earlier days. When his campaign the roof did raise. Telling youth activists in London spot. On making a difference and doing it hot. On world stage Obama brings KoolAid. While Beyoncé sells her brand of ‘Lemonade.’

A cool-cat telling activists as Prez. To have an agenda he says. Something achievable in change they seek. Not for the faint of heart or unduly meek. A way to bring it to the masses. So they don’t look like asses. Prez and Bey add hustle to cost of living. As game changers who grow their ranking.

His term during its unwind. Sends message for the work grind. Not just about making noise. Even if doing it with poise. But also in making waves. That’s the stuff that attracts raves. As the ocean teaches us all. Consistency flow from deep to shallow fall. From making a living to modeling a higher call.

With newest album release as video diary. Beyonce brings it to the Beyhive community. A game changer’s next groove beyond the music. Lose yourself but be wiser beyond the tunic. Forget ‘bout Becky who others want to see. In setting a stream of consciousness free.

Album buzz been off the charts. As she reaches music lover’s hearts. Prez and Bey using their work track. To be worth something more than being black. At times things can feel stuck. Trying to get by on making a buck. A move to be worthy beyond brand force. To efforts being guided by soul force.

The Golden State Warriors have met a higher standing for their team single-season record. Now they’re getting ready for the playoffs just as others look forward to the Barbershop 3 movie. So Cedric the Entertainer and Regina Hall hope to move things from a past standing to higher main street rep appeal.

According to Cinema Blend, Ced said “I’m one to believe that you just can’t do sequels, just because they’re doing them. That was key for me, is to see, where was the story or where were these people 10 years later.” That’s impact visioning for raising the bottom line from an old standard to a higher box score.

It’s been over a decade since the last movie release. After lower than expected sales, there were some doubts about next steps. That’s why a message from the movie and Cedric is when life knocks us down we need to get back up stronger. A ‘next cut’ can help get us past personal lows and performance woes.

The producer shared how he ditched the fears by looking at the success of other urban-styled movies like The Best Man. So he figure-out how to convince Hollywood execs on taking things to the next level. At the barbershop or salon, that’s like seeing someone leave with a fresh look and wanting the same feeling.

Hall can relate, with many key roles since graduating from NYU. About her 20-year acting career and role in Barbershop, she told the Source “It’s just always wonderful to see people with a lot of talent do great work and expand what they do as artists.” Surely, their success has some next generation street value.

Golden State Warriors show what’s good. Meeting higher standing than others could. Single-season team record for the taking. Getting ready for the playoffs shaking. As folks look to new Barbershop movie. Lots of laughs to have life groovy. Cedric & Hall keeping things real. From old standing to higher rep appeal.

Word from Cinema Blend the other day. Cedric says sequels you don’t do for play. Just because it can mean more fame. That’s not how he sees the game. Key for him is in where story falls. For these people 10 years later calls. Bottom line between old-time reasoning. And higher box score from impact visioning.

Been over a decade since last pic. After low sales from last flick. Some doubts about next steps on the rung. So that future success was not unsung. A message for when life knocks us down. Get back up then wear the crown. Take the ‘next cut’ past personal lows. And flush those stubborn performance woes.

Producer shared how he ditched the fears. Over those up and down years. By looking at folks who had it made. Urban-styled movies were getting paid. Convincing Hollywood execs after a while. Turning things up on next level dial. A barbershop or salon’s good-look feeling. Wanting the same in fresher revealing.

Hall can relate on coming through. With some key roles after leaving NYU. A 20-year acting career since then. Looking back as if to remember when. Cool to work with lots of talent and artist skill. Doing great work to expand the thrill. Ready for the next-gen in street value. With more success on showbiz menu.

How would it feel to have a holiday named in your honor? Well, most don’t know because it never happens. But after a thrilling NCAA Final Four finish, Villanova students were given a holiday from classes. Their Wildcats and North Carolina Tar Heels put on a show that was so good it seemed unreal.

After the game, Villanova point guard Ryan “Arch” said “We work on that play every single day in practice. I was trying to be aggressive. It’s about me making the right read. I think I did that.” This speaks to what it takes for teammates and ‘mojo workers’ to turn-up strong at the ready and show-up big in the end.

Whether at the office or on the court it’s smart to start with a goal or two in mind. For college basketball the ultimate goal is getting to the big dance and taking home the championship trophy. The game started as a back-and-forth with a close score at halftime. So it was still anyone’s to win with 20 minutes left.

The Wildcats began the second-half down five points. They found their mojo, got in a groove and opened a 10-point lead. It gave them momentum for a relentless stretch of endurance. Then as the clock wound down it was a dream-shot moment that put Kris Jenkins’ 3-point game clincher in the history books.

Fans were in disbelief. Some sports analysts think this was one of the most exciting game endings ever. Plus, for the everyday person on a work team it was a reminder of how having a goal and getting in a groove means working on some things every day. This gives us the get-up for being able to live large.

How’d it feel to have a named holiday? To take off time without losing pay? Most don’t know how it would be. That won’t happen for them or me. NCAA Final Four finishes high. A few players let-out a cry. Wildcat students had no classes. Good for them and the masses. As game was unreal with loud applauses.

After buzzer ‘Nova star heard saying. What we practice is what we were playing. In pushing the ball up the court. Making right read and being good sport. Aggressive in hustle and his dribble. Little time to waste or to nibble. Teammates came ready to show-up strong. With a big-time ending not after long.

Whether at work or play it’s smart. To have a goal or two at the start. Ultimate goal in making it to the dance. To take home trophy and bragging stance. Game started in back-and-forth fashion. As players soon stepped-up their passion. Halftime saw a close score. Anyone’s to win next 20 minutes on the floor.

Wildcats began five points behind. Got back to the uphill grind. Mojo working didn’t disturb their groove. Opened-up 10-point lead and a move. Had momentum shifted in their favor. A win is something they could savor. Dream-shot moment in Kris Jenkins’ looks. Putting 3-point game clincher in history books.

So fans in disbelief. Call emergency crew for relief! Some analysts say best game ending ever. Another way to show not to give up never. Plus, for every person on a work team. Having goal and groove in a dream. Doing some things daily puts us on the verge. Of rocking the get-up and being able to surge.
