As you've seen, Season 3 is dedicated to my father, Mike Jacox, who passed away late in 2021. I Love and miss you, Dad.

Today, we sit down with James Oliver Jr., an author, entrepreneur, and host of the HOT new podcast, Parents Making Profits, a part of the Hubspot Network.   James and his team were fortunate to speak with Damon John, who got them going! 

I met James in 2020 when I was growing so much from a diversity perspective.  So much of my growth is from my friends at the Shift up team, and the man, Dale Favors! In my episode with James, we talked so much about his life journey that all started in Brooklyn.  James always has had a Give-First mindset which is now coming back to him in many ways with his success.  James shares a story about his aunt, who played a significant role in his life.  She would be the first black woman to be a manager in the typewriter division of IBM.  James is a single father who talks about the experience of raising twins, which he jokingly calls "twinado."    

Later in the episode, we talk about the word GRIT, inspired by the excellent book written by Angela Duckworth. He shares a favorite quote by Mark Twain regarding purpose in life and the impact we will have on the world. James also shares how we, as fathers, must be aligned with our purpose.  He talks about his faith and how God plays a crucial role in everything he does.
