  • 2. Video with Dr. Clarence Lee Jr., one of the top black entrepreneurs by Yahoo Finance, discussing the influence of being true to self and living you...

    Full details from:-  https://dadpuzzles.com/podcasts/ 


    Dr. Lee: And so I encourage, men, fathers, we need to be the first  example. We need to lead by example. So yes, you want to, you want to encourage your kids, you want to do these things, but you're still living. You still have a dream.

    Yes, we're doing things for our children. One of the best things I believe we could do for our children is to live our dreams. That is the one of the best things we can do because that opens up a door and it allows them to go after. And then it also, when it comes to entrepreneurship, when it comes to work ethic, when it comes to making things a priority.

    You teach by example. 
     
     Dr. Ijani: Hello. Welcome to the Dadpuzzles podcast. You are listening to episode number two with our first special guest, Dr. Clarence M Lee, Jr. Dr. Lee is a physician, entrepreneur, nationally celebrated author, international speaker, and the president and CEO of Exhort Health, whose vision is to change everything about healthcare.

    A former student athlete, Dr. Lee, holds a degree in biology from University of the Incarnate Word and degrees in medicine and business from Drexel University. Also a decorated war veteran. Dr. Lee served in the United States Air Force For 10 years with, uh, several assignments, his last being a flight surgeon flying the T 38 and U- 2 airframes in one of the most elite squadrons in the United States Air Force.

    Dr. Lee is the author of the Inspirational Memoir, Well, my mom says, as well as his latest book. P e r s i s t. He is the columnist, uh, for several publications and, uh, his work has been featured in Live Happy Magazine, Black Fitness Today, and Essence Magazine to name, a few. He regularly appears as an on-air TV health expert and has been featured in segments on abc, cbs, and Fox Television.

    Recently, Dr. Lee was named Top 40 under 40 by the Sacramento Business Journal and Drexel University. He has been highlighted as one of the top healthcare entrepreneurs to know by Baker's Hospital Review. One of the top black entrepreneurs to follow by Yahoo Finance and is also a recent recipient of the uh, Black Enterprise Modern Man Award.

     Dr. Lee is a devoted husband and father, and,  leaves in Southern California and loves spending time with his wife and five children. Um, without further ado, I would like to welcome Dr. Lee. Please welcome.

     Dr. Lee: Thanks for having me. I'm excited to be on and add some value to the dads.

     Dr. Ijani: I am humbled and honored to have you, sir. Uh, what is your view of fatherhood?

    Dr. Lee: Yeah, so  I think something that's germane to this conversation is, I didn't grow up with my dad. So, my parents divorced when I was five and, I felt a, a lot of pain growing up that my dad wasn't around. I had a stepdad that came into my life, when I was about 9 or 10, and he, made a massive impact in my life.

    But my view of fatherhood and my idea of what a dad is supposed to be was really shaped by the fact that I didn't have my dad around a lot when I was younger. So my motivations for pretty much the majority of what I do, my intentions in business are really to be able to leave a legacy for my children.

    So instead of only being, I say only, but instead of just stopping at an employment, Having an employer, I desire to be able to pass on something to my children, and that's the main reason why I went into entrepreneurship. I left my job to start my own organization. I desire to be present.

    So being an entrepreneur also allows me the flexibility of my schedule so that I can make priorities a priority so I don't, necessarily have to ask for time off to go and see my son's soccer game or football game. I just put it on
