Hearing that something can't be done because no one did it before has two different effects on people; they will either try it anyway or give up. Some will be driven by their imagination and desire to do something remarkable; others will be obedient and never defy the boundaries put in front of them. 

In today's show, I had an uplifting conversation with Daxton Edwards, leading singer of In The Stars, actor and voiceover artist, martial artist, youth mentor, martial art coach, and teacher. We talked about his life growing up in a small town in Georgia, where his appetite for adventures and exploring the world was seen as something unusual and perhaps out of place. We also talked about his fears and the positive impact wise words can have on a child's life. 

Daxton gave his thoughts on super achievers, the importance of imagination in a kid's life, and achieving through manifesting. He shared his mantra for the moments he feels tired, the relevance of self-talking, and how often he does it. 

Tune in and receive some of Daxton's overachiever energy.

We've heard that the secret of success is finding our passion, putting the work in it, and keep trying until we finally make our dreams a reality. Still, there is another side of that revelation that almost no one mentions; we need to be honest with ourselves and tell the difference between a hobby in which we are better than the average, and a profession. 

Joining me today is actress, journalist, screenwriter, entrepreneur, and mom, Brandee Steger. She has written and produced the film "White Like Me," soon to be released, where she tells the story of a black woman that decides to turn into a white man to see if that ensures more job opportunities for her. We talk about her relationship with the entrepreneurial world, the importance of chasing our dreams, and what it takes to change the 9-to-5 mentality. 

She shares her vision on racism, the secrets for a lasting career, her frustrated dreams of being a professional figure skater, the struggle of black women in business in general, and much more in an incredibly inspiring conversation. 

Tune in and learn about the power of trusting our inner-self, being honest with ourselves, and much more in Brandee's extraordinary life story. 

Some Questions I Ask:

• I want to talk about how you got into all of this, so tell me about your beginnings (2:52)
• Would you say that your 'no fear' mentality is what helped you become so successful at the Harlem Ragshop? (6:16)
• Have you always known that if you just went for it, you would succeed? (7:16)
• Whatever makes your heart sing, that's what you have to go for and follow till the end. Right? (13:03)
• How have your dreams changed over the years? (25:10)
• If we could develop curiosity instead of fear, do you think that that would change things a lot? (34:30)

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• How to be an entrepreneur (5:22)
• How jumping knowing that she'll land somewhere helped Brandee succeed (6:30)
• Nature wants us to succeed (8:00)

We worry about so many things over which we have ZERO control. Doing this doesn’t solve the problem; it only robs us of our peace in the moment.
