Summer is a time when living is easy—a joyful season filled with sunshine, relaxation, and cherished moments with family and friends. As we embrace the rhythm of warmer days, here at Career Mastered, we’re pausing to reflect on the highlights of our journey so far this year.
Our signature Brunch with the Masters events in New York, Charlotte, and Detroit brought together powerful voices in leadership—women
and male allies alike—for meaningful dialogue, inspiration, and connection. These gatherings continue to be a cornerstone of our mission to elevate careers and celebrate those who lead with purpose.
We were thrilled to welcome esteemed guests, each of whom is a 2025 National Career Mastered Honoree:
• Areva Martin – Multi-award-winning civil rights attorney, CNN Contributor, and Autism Advocate
• April Simpkins – Cheslie C. Kryst Foundation Founder and Author
• Pat Hedley – Author of Meet 100 People
In addition to these phenomenal women, we proudly recognized honorees from across the nation who joined us in celebration and community.
Inside this issue, we explore the true essence of career mastery, highlight the opportunity to become a Career Mastered Ambassador, and
dive into topics that matter most—health, wealth, leadership, and yes, a little summer fun too.
As always, we’re here for you.
We’ve got you—this summer and beyond.
Enjoy the season. Celebrate your journey.
Love,
