Encouraging you to be extraordinary on an ordinary day.

I&#39;m a first time listener and I like the way you ask questions and really get into the details! Great listen and a new subscriber recommends it!

Insightful!

This podcast is fairly new but the quality and quantity of the episodes would suggest otherwise. I highly suggest the “Tyrone V. Ross” episode and the “maximizing the meet up/coffee date” episodes. I’ve already recommended several of the episodes to friends and colleagues. The podcast has found a solid blend of actionable items and engaging content that gives the listener more than just a motivational speech. Looking forward to the continued success and future live shows. Salutes.
