"Everyone has a story. Stop and listen to the people around you. Make your truth known and realize that YOU are more than enough, be present" - Cedric Clark

This week we sit down with Cedric Clark - Vice President, Regional Manager of Sam's Club at Walmart.

Press play below to listen to Cedric share how Our People Make The Difference and how his success came by focusing on promoting them versus promoting himself.
