Behind the GRIND

Today in the GRIND seat, I have natural skin care founder Jennifer Jones of Cocobuttery. In this conversation, we discuss how Jennifer launched into her entrepreneurial journey after spending years in corporate america. Jennifer shares how she continued to build and perfect her brand while working her 9 to 5. Eventually, she took the leap of faith from a side hustle to a full-time entrepreneurship. 

Through her inspiration to find a product that would help her three month old daughter who suffered from eczema, Jennifer created a formula that would eventually become a natural skin care product called Cocobuttery.

The 10-Minute Commute #31: The Journey of Faith with Sherrod Schuler

In this week's episode of Behind the GRIND, I have a deep-dive conversation with George Conway II, where we discuss several mental health topics such as; 

About the guest:

George Conway began his career working with disadvantaged and at risk youth as a general education paraprofessional at a local urban Kdg-8th school in the City of Flint MI, shortly thereafter, he was re positioned to the special education department and begin servicing students with moderate to severe mental, emotional and behavioral impairments. Ultimately, Mr. Conway was promoted to Student Family Liaison, a position designed to identity and alleviate concerns and barriers between the school, students and their families that prevented students from achieving academic success.

During that time, Mr. Conway pursued and completed a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan-Flint as well as his Master's Degree in Social Work from Eastern Michigan University, (concentration in family and children's services) Upon leaving, Mr. Conway secured employment as a Licensing Specialist for a private foster care organization partnered with the Michigan Department of Human Services. Mr. Conway then matriculated to the Michigan Department of Corrections as an Institutional Prison Chaplain for Inmates, before returning to education as School Social Worker  (Oak Park School District) and finally the Flint Community School District.

This combination of career experience fuels a family focused and centered dynamic that places the reconciliation of dysfunctional  and estranged families at the primary focus of what we do here.at ReImage Collective. We offer multiple options including individual and group therapy sessions aimed at identifying, acknowledging, and alleviating familial breakdown caused by mental, emotional, behavioral and relational deficit. It is a primary goal to restore relational capacity within the spouse, significant other, parental-child and/or sibling relationship. Though we cater to a variety of  individuals and groups with disabilities, impairments and deficits etc., FAMILY SERVICES are our primary area of expertise.

The 10-Minute Commute #29: The 10-Year Challenge with Sherrod Schuler

Sometimes we can let overused phrases like "What's your purpose?" or "What's your why?" stop us from our GRIND. Possibly because many have not properly defined what it means to truly know your purpose. Knowing your purpose goes far beyond a career, position, or profession. Knowing your purpose helps you navigate life here on earth. If what I am saying registers with you, then take some time and listen to this podcast episode called the Heart Work.  

Thanks to the @anchor.fm app, I can now share exclusive visual content here on Spotify. I am excited to bring to you another video podcast episode.

In today's special edition, I have my guy Jamell Williams in the GRIND seat. We are talking all things college football 🏈 .
