with Garrett Todd Taylor

In today's episode we're shaking things up a bit as I get the rare opportunity to reconnect with a good friend Garrett Todd Taylor otherwise known as G-Todd.

Garrett and I go way- way back to our days on the campus of Elizabeth City State University and although we haven't seen each other in over twenty years our conversation on social justice, entrepreneurship, and economic empowerment in our community  picks up right where it left off so many years ago...

Garrett has a unique perspective as an educator, an author, a publisher and an advocate for change in our community.  He and his wife, Diane, have taken their latest venture Taylor Made Publishing and created a platform for telling our stories with an emphasis on positive imagery for our children.

He's been on a world-wind tour promoting his children's books Dad, Who Will I Be? and Daddy's Little Princess, both inspired by a passion to empower his own two children.

As you'll hear this was more like a strategy session than an interview and I'm thankful this tremendous socialpreneur took the time away from his busy schedule to come share some words of wisdom on Live Free Or Die Grindin'.

Please help me welcome Garrett Todd Taylor to the show...

With Dexter Scott

How do you go from an unemployed father of four children to earning over a million dollars in commissions in less than three years?  By serving others.

It may sound too good to be true but that’s exactly what Dexter L. Scott and his wife Tonya did after Dexter, who was the sole provider for his family, became a casualty of corporate downsizing just a few days before they were supposed leave for a  vacation in Italy.

As you'll  hear, Dexter and his family went from living the American Dream to living the American Nightmare in one quick phone call.  All of the fear, the anguish and the frustration that follows losing your only source of income would’ve broken the average man down beyond repair.

But what you are about to find out is that Dex, as I’ve known him as since we met on the campus of Elizabeth City State University, over twenty years ago is anything but average.  What he and his wife have been able to accomplish in the network marketing industry has been the stuff that that dreams and legends are made of.

I could go on and on about his story but what I’d rather do is let him tell it in his own words so without further ado here is my fraternity brother, my friend, and millionaire entrepreneur

with Timothy Craggette  
Whether you work for a small company in the private sector or for a colossal government agency,  there will come a time when your spiritual, physical and mental health will be directly affected by the stress and pressure created by your job demands.
When you find yourself in this position it’s no longer as simple as just earning a living because your main priority now becomes just living.  We all know the dangers of workplace stress and we also know, all too well, the stories of loved ones or colleagues who lost their sanity and/or their lives when they succumbed to that stress and pressure.   So how do you break free from the stress, the pressure and the doom of a workplace environment that maybe putting food your table and at the same time putting you in the grave?   By unleashing your passions of course!  

And that’s exactly what Timothy Craggette did when he found himself in that very same scenario.  Tim decided to risk everything and walk away from what most people would consider to be a safe and secure job with the federal government to become an internet entrepreneur and build a business based upon his passions for comic books, computers, and technology.

 Since the day he left the job world behind Tim has been extremely busy.  Along with a couple of friends he created the Ray, Tim, and Rob Presents Podcast which is dedicated to their mutual passions for comic books.  

He has created and sold information products that have generated over $338,000,000 in sales for himself and his clients and is the founder of  SWOT Coaching LLC,  where he coaches youth and adults on how to achieve success in life and business.   

 Tim is a best selling author, self proclaimed nerd and the host of WERA’s The Swift Kick Show on 96.7 FM in Arlington Virginia.    

In this episode he drops some serious knowledge about entrepreneurship that you can apply to building your own business today, so please help me welcome Timothy Craggette…

With Tensie Taylor
It’s one of the ugliest problems facing our society and it’s even pushed innocent people to the point of taking their own lives.   I’m talking about bullying, and my next guest is on a one woman crusade to put a stop to it once and for all!     Tensie Taylor knows, all too well,  the torment of being bullied because she was the victim of bullying from grade school through high school graduation. Her story of triumph over her personal nightmare is a remarkable example of the resiliency of the human spirit and is providing hope for so many who have shared in her pain.   You may have seen her on the red carpet interviewing Hollywood's brightest stars as a correspondent for The Rich Girl Network or serving as a motivational speaker to youth groups from coast to coast.  No matter how big or small the stage her message is always delivered with passion and conviction.  
Now Tensie is using her book Bullied From Terror To Triumph: My Survival Story, as a way of bringing national attention to the scourge of bullying while at the same time reaching out to other victims who are suffering through the torment and pain.
What you’re about to hear is how she channeled her pain into the creative process and launched a brand dedicated to providing inspiration to bullying victims world wide. As she travels the country spreading her message of hope and triumph she has raised the consciousness of a host of A-list celebrities and has even caught the attention of President Barack Obama!  
If you want to learn how to overcome the pain from your past and position yourself as a champion for others who are dealing with similar pain...if you truly want to know how to turn life’s terrors into your personal triumph then pay close attention to the message in this interview because that’s exactly what Tensie will be sharing.

FROM THE OUTHOUSE TO THE COURTHOUSE ™  TO UNLEASHING YOUR PASSIONS!

When you’re the oldest of ten (10) children and your family is so poor that your bathroom is either  an outhouse or a five-gallon bucket how do you survive?

Well if you’re like me you become an entrepreneur out of necessity and learn to hustle and grind at an early age.  You spend your childhood working in cucumber fields, tobacco fields, chicken houses and hog houses to help put food on the table.

You spend your teenage years working in fast foods and operating a bootleg barbering business while busting your ass to earn a scholarship to college because you know your parents can’t afford to send you.

After college you attend law school and after law school you spend the next fifteen years building a law practice that provides the type of  lifestyle for you and your family which you could only dream of as a child.  

Now after the incredible struggles and the overwhelming success that you’ve enjoyed don’t you think you would finally be content in life?

Now if you’re an entrepreneur or you’ve ever dreamed  of being an entrepreneur listen closely because the answer may surprise you as much as it surprised me...
