This week Lauren is joined by Jordan Howlett for a riveting conversation about defying the odds, racism, and the reality of what it's like to grow up as a black man in America. It was an email to one of Lauren's clients that first connected her to Jordan. He had just released his documentary about his personal journey through life and his baseball career, and was looking to get the word out there. In addition to sharing the video on social media, and offering up additional ways to market it, Lauren also wanted Jordan to share his story for her listeners. In light of our country's most recent events, Lauren and Jordan also dig into the issues of injustice and racism, while Jordan also shares some of his own personal experience of what life as a black man in America has been like.
