On today's episode, our guest, Marlon Hill discusses the whys and hows of advancing your mission to advance the greater good for our community, turning off the noise to really focus on selecting effective leadership, and removing the blinders to merge outside of our comfort zones to break down invisible barriers which hinder growth and advancement. We will explore his journey and background on multiple fronts: personal, civic, professional, and most recently, political. 

Just a little appetizer on Marlon (press play to receive the entrée!): Marlon was born in Kingston Jamaica, graduated from Miami Southridge High School, and earned both his law and finance/international business degrees from Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL.  Marlon is a partner at the Miami law firm Hamilton, Miller and Birthisel and is running for the Miami-Dade County Commission District 9's open seat. Marlon is decorated with professional and civic accolades including the inaugural Ruth Shack Leadership Award honoree, a member of The Miami Foundation’s inaugural Miami Fellows class in 1999, and serving as a board member on the Miami Parking Authority, Orange Bowl Committee, the Miami Book Fair International, and a host of others.

Tune in to hear why you truly don't have to be independently wealthy or wait for a big check to be written to make a sustainable difference. If you want something bad enough, you will leave the sidelines waiting for someone else to act, and find a way to leverage the resources available to get it done!
