To open the door for others will be elevated, celebrated, extended and sustained. We are 21 years removed from the passing of my parents and I'm still growing, I'm still healing, I'm still learning, I still cry, I still laugh, I still find joy. All those things work in synergy together.
At 14, my because is I was just going after the bag. I was chasing money when I started podcasting in 2018, when I created a show called Schools over now. What Mick?

And I tell all the guys, you gotta, you're in college, so you work.
At school, get your good grades and.

If I'm doing stuff that I'm not very good at and things that I don't enjoy and trying to produce results that don't motivate me. I've put myself in the wrong seat. And so I've got to remove those things, delegate those things. So that's for the CEO, but then for everybody else, it's what is required of that position.
Together, we're breaking boundaries, redefining purpose and challenging what it means to grow, lead, and live with intention. And this is just the beginning, baby. And I can't wait for what happens next.
