In this episode I am joined by Derrick Furlow Jr. 

Derrick was just another kid who wanted a better life and saw sports, football in particular as an vehicle that could provide it. During his football journey to and through The University of Tennessee were he completed his bachelors and masters degree in 4 years. Derrick realized that football was just a temporary stage for his permanent purpose. The adversity he endured and challenges he faced shifted his perspective; putting him in alignment with his true assignment. Now today he shares his story and the principals he learned to Impact, Inspire & Empower people; while putting them in position to transition!
