Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Genesis Amaris Kemp. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Genesis Amaris, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. How did you learn to do what you do? Knowing what you know now, what could you have done to speed up your learning process? What skills do you think were most essential? What obstacles stood in the way of learning more?
I learned by just jumping in and a lot of trial by error. Learning from my mistakes and just having fun.
Find a mentor who has been in the podcasting space longer than me. I could have learned tips and tricks upfront and then refocus my time on other areas.
The skills most essential are understanding the various types of microphones, finding a podcast platform to host your podcast whether it is free, or fee based. Then deciding if you are going to keep it strictly audio or encompass video.
The obstacles that stood in the way are not knowing where to start to gather information but once I started asking the right questions and joining various support groups.
Genesis Amaris, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
BIO Genesis Amaris Kemp is a Visionary Life coach, Motivational Speaker, and Author.
A Firecracker and “Mindset Hacker” a force to be reckoned with.
Genesis is a woman that empower others to speak up for themselves. Yes, it may be challenging; yes, it may hurt. But in the long run, she desires to encourage others to help those who may not have a voice. She is a trailblazer who wants others to live out their dreams, goals, and visions. We all have been given an excellent purpose in life. It is up to us to walk it out and live victoriously!
She is multifaceted and multidimensional that cannot be contained in a box or compartmentalized.
I got into the podcasting space when my book, Chocolate Drop in Corporate America: From The Pit to The Palace in May 2020.
Then I started my own podcast in November 2020 after losing my father due to medical negligence.
The problems I solve for my clients are helping them overcome mindset limitations by hacking old paradigms and helping them reprogram so they can begin to live life on their terms. What sets me aparts from others is my 15 years in Corporate America along with my entrepreneurship and the lessons I have learned along the way from my failures.
I am most proud of being able to connect with other incredible creatives, the ability to build a foundation that is making an impact on others.
I want my clients / followers to know that we are all impactful and we have to tap fully into our strengths, gifts, and talents. Also the mission behind GEMS Podcast is to educate, inspire, and motivate while bridging the gap for diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
When I pitch to podcast sponsors, and I hear NO I just see it as New Opportunity or Next Opening versus focusing on the fact that they didn’t choose to partner.
Having the right mindset when you are faced with “rejection” or refusal to partner just means timing is off or you may not be the ideal fit as you thought.
However, there are others out there who are willing to do business with you. Just keep an attitude of gratitude to attract the right people.
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
