Introduce yourself! Please tell us about you and your life, so we can get to know you better.
Hello, everyone, my name is Kimberly Michelle Cloud. I have The Kimberly Cloud Show LLC, and I’m an extreme serial Podcaster. When I am not podcasting, I promote people’s businesses help podcaster’s grow. My hobbies are taking walks, drinking smoothies, lol, and brief exercise. My passions are to finish my Master’s program, and go for my doctorates. My family life extends to my audience that watches me around the globe. I feel unique when I get phone calls from Japan and the United Kingdom from my worldwide clients that support me.
What inspired you to start Kimberly Cloud Show LLC, and how do you envision this business evolving in the future?
I first started with wigs, I started with making and buying wigs in bulk, and promoting them online. Then it graduated to me talking about my life and what I am going through (documentary). Then, I started having trouble with getting clients until I found matchmaker FM and Streamyard. Sometimes it’s not hard, and sometimes depending on the guest, it still is, but I never stop trying. I am very diverse, and I put my all into my craft, and believe that the Kimberly Cloud Show LLC will grow with millions of listeners by late 2027. She will be able to become a national radio station podcaster and just help people and children build their portfolio’s.
Could you share more about your advocacy for mental health issues and how it influences your approach to business and creating a healthy working environment?
Sure, I advocate for people that want to get out of the negative “Debbie Downer Affects” of having mental health issues. I try in my podcast to help them with encouragement and positive feedback. I know mental health is very dangerous. I would sleep all day, use drugs because I never addressed why I was depressed and angry. Instead, I shielded it in my unconscious mind with lock and key. I did not think that my past with a dysfunctional family molesting and mistreating me while mentally abusing me emotionally would cause my personality to adapt to using drugs and having negative outbursts. I advocate not only for myself but, because I actually get along with people with mental health issues and are stigmatized. I have severely grown from my traumatic events, although it still comes back occasionally, but I can Identify the negative threat symptom now. I don’t use cigarettes, marijuana, or anything but whey protein, which is good for the brain muscle. I feel 150% better. Now my business and my thinking positive has gotten more father in my career than ever before. I study people, and myself to see what I can do to make myself grow every day. Here is the thing, though: you have to leave some people where they are. Everyone will not like you. So, move on! It’s okay to hear no. There are over 8 million people on earth, and one person telling you no will not hurt you.
Can you tell us about your volunteering experiences at Our Daily Bread and Healthcare for the Homeless, and how those experiences have shaped your perspective on community engagement and social responsibility?
I was in Baltimore Maryland and going to College at BCCC, Baltimore City Community College, no matter what the weather was I was there by bus. So I caught the train and bus there. I enjoyed feeding people, which was high in numbers. Over 600 to 1,000 people needed to be fed. I believe with the right engagement, we can create better Health for the Homeless and Our Daily Bread with extensions such as homeless preparation help and dental dentures for people without teeth. We can also create better classes for them. Do you know what the best part about doing that job was? I used to be at HealthCare for the homeless going to drug classes and having my health care get addressed. I realized I wasn’t into those classes like I should have been. They helped put me in a military shelter, but they only selected me because I was a veteran. Think about those thousands of people who are homeless, without electricity or food. So, we need a better cohesive creation of housing and more outlets for healthcare and benefits in Baltimore.
What motivated you to pursue higher education, particularly after facing challenges such as marital issues, and how has your academic journey influenced your entrepreneurial endeavors?
I love college!! It was so hard when I took a psychology statistics class. I also took another hard math class, which introduced me to the bell-shaped curve of math statistics. I kept in contact with my teachers regularly and pushed hard over and over, asking them what they needed of me in that class. It was a traditional 16-week course that wasn’t hybrid or virtual, so I caught the bus to college. I spent my time learning and absorbing as much as I could while gaining insight into stories like Pavlov and the dog study and Sigmund Freud’s Psychosexual stages interested me the most. Do you know what was so hard about college? I wasn’t living in standard conditions. The washer machine downstair would make all the resident clothes have a mildew smell, and I would have clean clothes but have a mildew smell. Some of the ladies would laugh at me. I couldn’t afford new wigs it was very terrible, but I still went to class. No excuses I said. Also, I love to interview people about their past, present, and future, talking with people makes me feel better and encouraged about my life and helping them succeed as well.
We're intrigued by your upcoming book release. Could you provide some insight into the themes or messages you aim to convey through your writing?
To be honest there isn’t a book release, but I encourage you to take a dive “For Free” into my first book that I created called Life of an Cloud a Short Story by Kimberly Cloud. I will be coming out with a new book to guestimate roughly 2 to 3 years from now! I want to get it right this time.
Your mention of an invention destined for hotels worldwide sounds fascinating. Could you offer a glimpse into what this invention entails and how it aligns with your vision for innovation and empowerment in your business ventures?
The invention was through invent help and called the K-Cloud Smoke detector. Now, it was brilliantly done and put on the market through shows. I wanted a prototype, but it cost 500,000 dollars. It was an advanced intelligence technology that put every type of smoke on alert in this device. IT can go in your homes for children who try to smoke while their parents aren’t there; it can also go in hotels and motels for people who smoke weed in hotels illegally and lie and say they didn’t, and it definitely can go inside cars which a lot of people smoke. I’m one of them that used to smoke and clean out the car. You will make a lot of money because now they have proof and can charge you that fee that everybody disputes. Now, here is the bad but good news: it has been created here in Seattle. While I was in jail, I saw on the city news komo news that they have this artificial intelligence in the library bathrooms to prevent people from using meth and all other smoking types in the bathrooms of the libraries. It was bittersweet for me I was happy for them but sad because now they offered me a 250.00 rebate check for the 6,000 dollars, I put down in 2016. Yeah, talk about craziness.
Tell us about your greatest career achievement so far.
The Kimberly Cloud Show LLC is free for now until I can get some sponsors. Blue Cloud Cleaning LLC helped me gross 80 to 100,000 a year. I was happy, but I wasn’t at the same time.
If you could change one thing about your industry, what would it be and why?
Help more individuals in poverty. Make it so that we can be one step closer to helping with global warming. Global warming isn’t nothing but, for example, a fever in an adult. If you catch an infection, you have a fever, same with Earth. We need more people, whether they know physics or not, into the business industry because they can help contribute possibly clues that other book scientists may not know.
Tell us about a pivotal moment in your life that brought you to where you are today.
Me leaving my husband helped me to become more independent. Some women depend on their husband for everything. We need to become more independent and gain resources, for both men and women. Men are included too. Men and women who are regularly dependent on people/spouse have a hard time a work, because they are always looking at the clock wondering when they are going to get home because they are afraid of their spouse. More support for the marital relationship.
