The Journey Out
Operationalizing Genius: Building a Revolutionary Consulting Firm
Meet the dynamic duo revolutionizing how businesses achieve transformational impact. Janiah Lake and Tamika Stembridge, founders of OGLLC and known respectively as "the Banker" and "the Lawyer," share their journey from corporate careers to becoming trusted advisors for visionary leaders across the globe.
Their philosophy of "operationalizing genius" comes alive as they explain how they help big thinkers turn moonshot ideas into achievable milestones. What sets them apart? The rare ability to understand visionaries who struggle to trust others with their dreams, and the practical systems they've developed to catch every brilliant idea without stifling creative energy.
Through their combined experiences spanning banking, philanthropy, law, entertainment, and nonprofit leadership, Janiyah and Tamika have mastered the art of building authentic connections—not just between themselves and clients, but between their clients and the communities they aim to serve. They share candid insights about their data-driven approach, explaining how they balance ambitious visions with measurable outcomes.
The most touching moments come when they reflect on their own journey from professional colleagues to family, navigating entrepreneurship together with unwavering mutual support. Their advice for emerging visionaries resonates deeply: find your integrator, be gentle with yourself during growth, and trust the process of delegating what doesn't inspire you.
Whether you're a visionary struggling to implement your ideas or an established business looking to scale with integrity, this conversation offers powerful strategies for sustainable success. Subscribe now to catch part two, where these brilliant consultants turn the tables and interview our hosts about their business journey.

I know some people probably had it hard, but I was blessed. They ain't never saw my mom and dad in stress. They only shows. They said I'm living comfy from the sweat off they bags and that's why all I ever wanted was to give it back. I'm not ashamed because I was raised right. I would only be ashamed if I didn't help you fight through the pain, help you drain out the games that your mind played. No matter what, I'm never letting my shine fade away, forever searching.

Speaker 2:Hello everybody and welcome back to the Journey Out Podcast. We have an exciting episode here for you guys. But you know, here on the Journey Out podcast we're talking all things healthcare, financial literacy, entrepreneurship and family values. But before we get into the episode, go ahead and be sure to like, subscribe and share this with any and everybody that you know could benefit from the stuff that we talk about here. We talk about a lot of good things, so we want to make sure that we get it out to those who need it. Now happening to the episode we have some really great friends here.
Speaker 2:We have our team from OGLLC in the building, all right, so we have Ms Janiah Lake and Ms Tamika Stembridge, and they are here to talk about OGLLC and how they just revolutionized businesses all across the world, and so let me give you guys a little backstory. Okay, so OGLLC is a consulting firm co-founded by Janiyah and Tamika, known respectively as the Banker and the Lawyer. Okay, now they leverage their diverse experience to support high-performing leaders and organizations in scaling, creating transformational impact and fostering meaningful connections with communities of color, and so I just need y'all to break that down. Whoever wants to go first? Janiyah Tameka, whoever break that down for us? How are y'all revolutionizing these businesses?
Speaker 4:Well, first thank you. We are so excited to be here with y'all. So I am the banker of this duo and I guess how we revolutionize business. Tamika always says we think we can do anything. So literally if it's like y'all come and say we want to go to the moon, we think we can figure out how to get you to the moon. Like I promise, there's not something that we haven't encountered and a large part of it is just from our diverse backgrounds.
Speaker 4:So, I guess we could just kind of share a little bit about our background. I'm the banker of this duo and my background I led branches. I managed branches, led teams to where the second half of my career and I had a 20-year career in banking. So the second half of my career I was on the philanthropy side of it. Second half of my career I was on the philanthropy side of it so I did granting of money, managing nonprofits, working on community issues from the perspective of finance, so homeownership and underserved communities, financial education and literacy, working with kids. So I really fell in love with that half of my career and how to leverage my expertise in banking to give back. And really for me that was birthed out of coming from a large black family in the South and you know we don't talk about money.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 4:And so seeing how other people did well and even understanding how they did well with nothing. And so I tried to start understanding that gap of like why did these people come to this country and talk about that? They had $2 to their name and was able to build and build family businesses and things like that. But what happened when our history is what it is and we work as hard as we work, but why are we always the bottom of every bad stat?
Speaker 4:when it comes to economics and so that's how I ended up meeting the co-founder that actually brought us, or the founder that brought us together.
Speaker 1:And so that's.
Speaker 4:that's kind of the some of the varied background that I have, and I let Tamika tell some of her background, which is why we think we can go to the moon.
Speaker 5:Right. So I'm Tamika, the lawyer of the duo. Moon Right. So I'm Tamika, the lawyer of the duo. But before becoming a lawyer I worked in corporate America in supply chain human resources recruiting, left there, went to run a nonprofit because I wanted to save the babies. So I went and did that for a little while. I got invited to apply to law school because I was either going to go get an MBA or go get a PhD in Africana studies. And they were like hey, we think you might be able to go to law school. Would you like to try it? And I was like all right bet. So I went to law school to study entertainment law, because that's the only law I cared about, didn't ever wanted to go to court, I could do deals all day, went to law school, decided I would do my MBA while I was there.
Speaker 5:While I was in law school, I did a stint in fashion. So I worked with a fashion house in New York and then I worked in two big firms in Philadelphia. And then, when I finished law school, I went to a management company in New York working with some of the biggest names in hip hop management. And then I went for pastoral care because I was like you know what I've done, all the things that I've wanted to do. I'm 31 years old, what else is there?
Speaker 5:So I went to my pastor and he's like I have something for you to do. Come help me out with this nonprofit. So I went and started helping him with the nonprofit, just as a client. I was still running my law practice, still traveling on the road with acts, doing a whole lot of things, and then, two years into the work, he's like I need you to meet this lady. She is phenomenal, she is amazing care, but that means I also got a bunch of pastoral care cases. He would just send me everybody to work on the team. So Janiyah and I had this conference call and like we hit it off and it was good, like she was super smart, she sounded good on the phone, we had fun and I was like okay, well, let's just try this out for like 90 days Cause.
Speaker 2:I don't really know, how this works.
Speaker 5:And literally we've been stuck together ever since. So, from 2017 up until now, we have been rocking and rolling, and then, you know, we did that together. First, I was there for almost nine years, janai was there for seven, and then, in 2022, we decided to take our talents on the road and create OGLLC.
Speaker 3:And here we are, wow.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's amazing.
Speaker 3:That's amazing. So what inspired y'all once y'all got together and y'all went through the 90 day period?
Speaker 1:and y'all been stuck to the hill in your background.
Speaker 3:So what inspired y'all to uh establish OGLLC?
Speaker 4:So I think the thing. So we both agreed on the 90 days right.
Speaker 2:Cause I was a corporate girl Like they'll tell you.
Speaker 4:I wore black suits to everything. Everybody was like, okay, girl, you don't have to wear suits to everything, like don't you have some casual wear? And I was like this is my casual wear, what are you? Talking about I was straight the banker lady. And so we both agreed on the 90 days because I didn't know how nonprofit world would be. I was flipping to a whole nother side. What we both started going through that seven-year period was like we just kept getting aligned, aligned, aligned, aligned, aligned. And so it's.
Speaker 4:We were not only having great success growing that nonprofit, how we seen business was the same and ran that nonprofit like a business and, having been on boards and things in the past, I was able to see very successful nonprofits. I was able to see nonprofits that really didn't run like a business and so we thought the same, we work the same, both of us are the same. We do not like group projects because you ain't gonna be messing up my age Right right.
Speaker 4:You know, we don't like. You know certain ways that we work. We were the same and so we complimented each other so well and we weren't friends, we didn't know each other anything, but we just worked together and, I think, respected each other's work and we was getting stuff done, yeah. And so we started getting tapped. We became janiya and tamika, we became this duo.
Speaker 1:You know when everybody would ask for us, they would ask us together.
Speaker 4:Yeah and then we started getting pulled to help other non-profit leaders. We started getting put on projects. We made national partnerships with, you know uh, sororities and fraternities and homeownership organizations Like we were really doing things big, but we were helping other organizations tackle subjects that we cared about. So we were in healthcare, bringing economic empowerment, tackling health issues and health disparities. We were in homeownership, helping homeownership and democracy and homeownership with realtors, and we were bringing this infrastructure and how we were going to do this. And so we just started saying are we on to something?
Speaker 4:here we very much care about these issues and we're able to lend this expertise, and we had kind of aligned passion with how we worked, and so it just we thought we were onto something a little bit before we even kind of got shoved out there to start it.
Speaker 5:But yeah it, just and just leaders. We love our people, we love to see amazing leaders win and a lot of times you know Janiyah says that we've seen the test. And so in growing the nonprofit that we worked with from a philanthropic side, we were blessed to have huge philanthropic partners that were investing tons of money into our nonprofit, which is not normal in the nonprofit landscape.
Speaker 5:But at the same time, because we ran the nonprofit like a business, we started to understand what those philanthropic organizations were looking for and we're like, ok, we've seen this and all these leaders that are doing amazing work in the community are never going to see this test, which means they will never enter these rooms which means the work that they're doing will never get as big as they want it to get unless somebody helps them. And so we were like we have to do something about that, and so we were committed to that personally. But then you see the same thing on business, and so it was like all of our experience, all of what we care about, wanting to see us win Right, and we were like we just have to do it, and see what happens, yeah, and so it really you guys' tagline kind of sums that up like in a nutshell so you guys' tagline is operationalizing genius.
Speaker 3:Wow.
Speaker 2:That is, in and of itself, like I don't even know how y'all came up with that, but that's exactly what you guys do, so like elaborate on what that means and like how it translates into, like actionable I you know, things that your clients deal with on a day-to-day basis.
Speaker 5:So OG was originally optimized growth. Okay, and in that optimizing, well, how do you optimize it? It's operations, it's infrastructure, it's process, it's taking your big visions and chunking it out. So when Janiyah says, we can take you to the moon if you decide that's your goal, the operations is what's going to help you get there. And so we say we work a lot with visionary leaders, big picture thinkers that literally want to go to the moon, and the work that we do is helping you to chunk that out, phase it out, step it out so that one you're going to get to the moon, but also you can keep going to the moon. Right, and you can have a team that you want to go to the moon. And if you don't think about your work in that way, one you're always going to be stuck being the person doing it, and then nobody can come behind you to repeat the pattern.
Speaker 5:And so we want sustainable impact, sustainable success, and so we help you to operationalize those ideas so that they can keep going and growing over time.
Speaker 3:How do you get visionaries when they have this big idea and I guess, let me say this, and they, they want to go. We know this, they want to go and they, they ready, and they were like yeah how do you pace them? And how do you get them If they're always on the go and you pace them, but how do you get them to follow that pace?
Speaker 2:Right and, like you said, skill for sustainability.
Speaker 3:How do you, how do you do that?
Speaker 5:I would say some of it is tapping into that visionary energy and so we have to. If we can concretize the plan and give you the plan, sometimes that's enough to calm the vision down, because now you can see it Like, okay, bet, I see step A.
Speaker 1:B, c, D and.
Speaker 5:E, then we can go forward and then giving you successes along the way. So it's like, okay, this is milestone one, we do that. Okay, bet, we're on the right path. But then also catching the ideas. We consider ourselves for our best clients. We are your backstage partner, so when the idea comes, give it to us, let us figure out where to put it. Don't stop thinking.
Speaker 1:Don't stop being the visionary.
Speaker 5:Give us the things so we can figure out where to put it, so that you don't lose it. Because that's the beauty of visionaries You're always thinking big Right. The challenge is visionaries will keep visioning and leave everybody behind. Right Right, and so if we can show you success along the way, then the visionary stays encouraged, but also you see things progressing Right and you also have a place to catch the new visions, because the more gets done, the more you want to do. So it's kind of a give and take process.
Speaker 2:And kind of a give and take process, right, and I think it just speaks to like the core of what you're saying, because at the same time, like we talked about being visionaries, I'm sitting beside one of them Right and the way his mind works is like oh, we can do this, we can help these people in this way, we can do this, we can do this, we can do this. And what kind of sometimes can get stuck in the back of our heads is we know we have to do it, we know we can set it up, but how, it's the how, and you guys always come with the how, you guys come with the how, the why, and this goes in this bucket, this goes in this bucket and it's just set up.
Speaker 3:You guys pretty much, I guess. Read our minds.
Speaker 4:Yeah, pretty much. I think there's this trust that has to happen too. I think there's this trust that has to happen too. Yeah, because visionaries don't trust people to bring their visions to life, and so I think two things that we do well is we move at a fast pace. We really do Like we move with y'all at y'all's pace. There are some people we have to be very careful not to outpace them, because we have kind of two of these big brains over here and we can just clip things along, and so one.
Speaker 4:I think that first, that trust has to be built, that people entrust us with their vision and they entrust us to bring their vision to light how they would. Because we are big on authenticity, like we want people to show up authentically with their people in their marketplace and bring their vision to light, how they see it, in a really excellent way. And so I think that trust has to be built first because, like y'all, where you have clients and you become family with them- we become family with our clients, and that's where we all do our best work and magic is created.
Speaker 4:So I think that trust first and then being able to, as she said, have milestones, but then also appropriate places, but that trust allows us also to be like this isn't the goal you set for yourself. We can absolutely do this big vision, but it moves but you remember January.
Speaker 4:This was our goal, so let's make sure. And so there's this trust you also build in being able to kind of say let's place this over here, let's pin it, let's make sure we'll get to it. But it is the landing place for the visions, because the visionary has to constantly be feeling like I see and want to solve these issues, and we never want to stifle that. We always want to appropriately place it and keep them inspired.
Speaker 5:I'm Janiyah, I'm Tamika and we are OG LLC, a consulting firm, and we operationalize genius. Learn more at wwwweareogllccom.
Speaker 2:And so let's dig into the trust part a little deeper, because not only is it building trust between you and your client like you're figuring out their ideas and who they are and kind of trying to put that out, but one thing that you guys do amazing, like you're so amazing it's also building that meaningful connection between your client and who they're trying to target.
Speaker 3:So, cause, cause, honestly, uh, just for me an example I'm, I'm private right, so to share and open up and talk about things that I don't know, and not being afraid to say, hey, I don't know this or this is where I'm at. You guys take that in and say, okay, hey, this is where you're trying to get. We have a piece to this puzzle.
Speaker 2:How do you expound? On creating those meaningful connections both ways. You know client to client, but also like client to our target audience as well.
Speaker 5:I think it goes back to the authenticity. So we know you all intimately from a professional standpoint, a lot of times from a personal standpoint, understanding your goals and figuring out the communities you intend to serve and helping you to show up in the most authentic way for that community. Because the thing is, you know we all can shape shift, but people notice that, and so the reality is, if you guys want to show up as the journey out podcast or you want to show up as PC home, however you want to show up, our goal is to help create an experience in an environment so that you can show up that way for the community.
Speaker 5:We have some clients that are super corporate. They're doctors, they're. You know they don't necessarily they're not going to do it the same way you do it, but they have great intentions for the people they intend to serve. We create experiences and opportunities that align with how you want to show up and what you want to serve people with, and we've done it a million different ways. We go from conferences to intimate one-on-one scenarios. You want to host a 5k? We can do that. You want to go host a party? We can do that.
Speaker 5:Um and again, we're not event planners, but really strategically figuring out how you get to the people that you want to get to and how you're going to have impact, not just getting in front of them, but getting to and through them the way you want.
Speaker 2:Right, and that's the impact right there. I think that's, I think that's what just sets you, you all, apart, because it's building that experience, not, it makes it not cookie cutter. You you know what I mean, because anybody can have any and everybody can have a podcast. It's the experience that you bring to the person listening that sets the tone, and so it's not the same for each, for each one, and it's not. You guys, don't go in it with that same thought process of we're going to do this like, do it like this, because it worked like this for homeboy, and so it's just work for homeboy, it's going to work for you, right, and it's not that personality.
Speaker 5:So the fun thing I was going to say. The fun thing about our work is that we have a process. Like there is a process. The beauty is as fast as our minds work. We literally go from you all to a different client, like in any given day our minds are on a million different things, and part of that is exciting and exhausting at the same time, but we know that's how we have to show up, because every client is different.
Speaker 4:And I think the thing, too, is like having the varied background, right. So we've been in super corporate spaces. You have to show up in a black suit all the time, you know. Um, I think, not only just trying to find ourself through our careers. We believe in people like. We really really believe in people that are trying to do things. I think this is why we're particular about who we work with, right, because we can't work with somebody that we don't connect with them, and believe the work that they're doing right and so that helps us to connect with them in ways that, when we learn them, we can help them navigate.
Speaker 4:But having the backgrounds that we have and having to also navigate our own authenticity, in these spaces. We have also a really great network of people that we have a great reputation with, and they know us in that way.
Speaker 4:So, when we do make those connections, like you say, we've likely been in rooms like that, we likely. But we want to position people that are able to be their very best, cause we see that best that they're trying to accomplish, and then some of the beauty of the work that we do, because we care about the leaders and care about their work.
Speaker 4:We we see this ripple effect right so like if we can help you all do the work you're doing, look at who all you're taking care of and and amplifying that work right. And the same thing with like when people are working on. I mean, we have everything from you know dementia, alzheimer's to anti-violence, to you know caring for family. But it's this ripple effect that if we can pour into those leaders and they can continue to pour into their community and they continue to mentor and bring up people like we have, this, like that's the purpose, I think that we got attached to is being
Speaker 1:able to do that.
Speaker 3:I don't think I got to say these young ladies are awesome. I want to put that out there right now.
Speaker 2:They're awesome, I want to put that out there right now. They're awesome. So, with everyone that you have helped and you continue to help on a day-to-day basis, what are some innovative practices that you believe are essential for businesses aiming to like, revolutionize their, their business, to grow and become like those dynamo companies?
Speaker 5:Interestingly enough, we start all of our work with the biggest vision you have. So, yes, we work with visionaries and y'all have big ideas, but we stretch you even further, like what is the ultimate goal for you, and if we can understand that, that helps us craft the process because you may come to us for a discrete thing and we're like okay, well, give us some context, where does this fit in your larger vision?
Speaker 5:And once we can get you to that, then it helps us to lay things out, because then we're not just thinking about that specific project. It's how that project becomes a puzzle piece into whatever the next thing is. And I think that's the innovative practice that, even if you are a visionary leader, pull it all the way back to see how that fits into your larger vision and then we can start to operationalize from there. That way you're not repeating things. That way you build it in a way that it's going to fit into that bigger vision. And even if it's a spinoff project that may not seem related, there's always a way to tie it in because you as the visionary are at the core.
Speaker 2:Right, right.
Speaker 3:So, with that, with that being said, and y'all uh put things in place for that visionary to succeed or hit that milestone that they want to hit. How do you measure success when you're helping someone?
Speaker 4:This is where the banker and the lawyer kicks in If y'all see our stuff.
Speaker 4:We have the data a graph and the thing is part of us accepting our visionary capability. It's that when people start sharing their big dream with us, I literally, and she literally, we start to see the path and the outline to it. Right yeah, knowing how data matters, knowing how these issues matter in communities, knowing how, what we're trying to accomplish, you start to see the path like almost like stepping stones, and so it just will click. It just will click and we'll start to see it. And sometimes I have to like sketch it out or draw it, but we don't do anything without a plan. We're probably the most briefed paper driven two people y'all will ever meet. Like I got old school file cabinets and went and got my old school like loan files to keep track of all of my stuff. And we were laughing at a retreat this weekend, we did a training this weekend and we were giving them their report back of the summary of what we did to their staff and I had mine, highlighted a number.
Speaker 4:She was laughing because I needed to know the numbers of what this percentage was and everything but like that's just the banker and the lawyer, and so everybody that works with us is not that we're all sitting around having pipe dreams and like, yeah, we're all trying to be on the moon.
Speaker 5:It's like did this happen Right? How much did it cost? How much did we make? How many people did we impact? What changed about those people? Right, we're very much data driven in that way and not to say that everything has to be counted Right, but how else do you measure success?
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 5:You know, you look at your bank account to see if you're being successful. You look at how many never know if you're successful. And so, again, it's growth. And that's what we said. We're here to grow. You scale, you, sustain you. How much more runway do you have, how much more money do you have? And so there's always a data point.
Speaker 2:Right, okay. So, with that being said, what would be some advice you would want to offer to some emerging visionaries who just want to make like transformational impact in their community? What would be some advice you would want to give them to get them started and to get them going?
Speaker 4:Probably some first advice I have is, like one of the things that I see is people really are hard on themselves about what they're trying to accomplish, or even if they have core capabilities that they can do the things, but we try to tackle it all right. So entrepreneurship we are starring in our own movies, writing our own movies producing our own movies, directing our own movies.
Speaker 4:You're doing all the things. There does become a moment that when you start to we start to help them, see them stretch themselves out. You have to be gentle with yourself, that you, that's not like I can do, that, I'm not inspired each day when I wake up and do that, and so sometimes we'll end up talking to people like it's not bad to have growth and outgrow spaces, and so you have to. It's a way, and sometimes we'll see people beat themselves up about what they're not either able to get done or I couldn't accomplish this. What they're not either able to get done or I couldn't accomplish this, or they're having that moment of when you're taking on everything and they're hard on themselves because they just and they'll burn themselves out.
Speaker 4:And so even with nonprofits, you know when, when it's that growth moment, there is that moment that we're like stretch it out you know, stretch it out, give it to someone else and stay where you can, as much as you can, of what inspires you, cause that's your gifts, right.
Speaker 2:Not what you can do.
Speaker 4:You can do everything you can do likely, but as much as you can start thinking about building your team and thinking giving away things or letting people help you letting people delegate.
Speaker 5:Yes, yes, yeah, and I would say yeah. I would say, in addition to that, like it's, it's the concretizing of what Janaya just said find your integrator Every strong leader in any field that they're in. They may not call it an integrator. It's your number two, it's your second, it's your Tamika and Janaya that are going to run the play for you. Most visionaries, they have the idea no-transcript. There's a reason that you got the gift, but you may not be the person to fully run the play right and so be comfortable allowing other people to step in and do that I love
Speaker 3:that I love that. So good information yeah from beginning to end of y'all journey to this point. Right now, right, reflect on what has been the most rewarding thing of OG LLC.
Speaker 5:So there's two things for me. Externally, I would say watching our clients grow and actually achieve their visions, like we. Yes, we do our part to help you guys make those things happen, but you go out and do it. The confidence is there, the ability to execute is there. You go out and do the things. Their wins are our wins.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:We take pride in it, Like we sit there like proud mama, like oh my God, they did it.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 5:On the flip side of it, I would say watching us grow as entrepreneurs, like having the varied backgrounds that we've had. Entrepreneurship is a journey unlike no other. If you have not had faith, you will gain it on this journey, and so just watching us grow as entrepreneurs and be confident in what we originally thought for this business and watch it grow every single day and show up for it every single day, like when we started this, I was nine months pregnant oh my goodness. I delivered a baby on january 19th and I was back on a conference call january 26th, like we have been in it every single day for the last three years, and so that's a lot of stick to it, or this yeah, but we believe so much in the work that we're doing right that you guys help our vision come to life, for how we wanted to show up for people right, and so I think that's been the most inspiring part of this what about you?
Speaker 4:you know um, I would agree. I think that when we see our clients win, it is, it is the moment, because we don't want to ever be the one that does it, we want to like. I always say this we want to teach people to fish, like that's our goal in that kind of ripple effect moment. And if we can just continue to do that, I would say internally as well. Again, I said Tamika and I were not friends before working together. I believe you can become friends if you work together, not the vice versa.
Speaker 4:It's hard to be friends and then go and try to get work done right. It's easier to be work friends and then expand your friendship. So we've become family, yeah, and walking this test of entrepreneurship. But like we've had so much growth in our friendship and becoming family and our personal journeys, like I wouldn't do it with anybody else in the world.
