Dive Right In with Dean Sheremet

Conor started his career in acting before turning to writing, and developing the idea for the children's book series "The Adventures of Kate & Nate". After spending years researching the loneliness epidemic, and speaking with marriage counselors, family therapists, and psychologists, he wrote "Kate's First Mate", the first book in the three-part series. 

He has some great insight on not only the epidemic of loneliness (which started long before the current state of the world), and also on teaching children about dealing with fear, and building healthy relationships.

Marcellus Reynolds has worn many looks through the years. Raised by his strong Mother and Grandma, he had an inside track to what empowers women. 

He started out a 16 year old stock boy who became top salesman in a boutique in Chicago. He’s modeled around the world in all the biggest fashion books and campaigns.

He’s taken that fashion education and his knowledge of women to create the first volume in his masterpiece series SUPREME MODELS Iconic black women who revolutionized fashion.

It’s the only book of its kind from cover to cover that tells the complete story of Black female models in fashion.

I’m so honored to have him share his time with me. Please take a listen, I hope you come away as inspired as I did.
