“Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.” Steve Maraboli A lot of my content lately has focused on the importance of relationships. Now, when I say relationships, I’m not just talking about your spouse or significant other. I’m […]

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."

Friedrich Nietzsche

I've been waiting a long time to use that quote in a post. It's one of my all-time favorites. (Thanks dad for introducing me to it!)

There's something interesting about energy. As hard as it is to explain and articulate, something tells me you know exactly what I mean. It's that feeling, vibe or insight you get when you're around someone.

Sometimes you don't even need to be in their vicinity to feel it. Maybe all it takes is a picture or video clip to feel it. And that's exactly what it's called… "It."

Greco (NYC) has "It." He also gets "It."

You're probably thinking… What exactly do I mean by "It?"

I'm talking about that feeling of connection. The non-verbal cue you get when you and someone else are on the same page. Greco uses his music to build that exact connection with thousands of people around the world.

I first met Greco years ago when we went to high school together. I didn't know what it was at the time, but I always had a feeling he would make an impact with whatever it was he chose to do. Greco's choice was house music.

From New York to Sarasota, to Ibiza, to Toronto, Greco has traveled the world sharing his hard work, talent, and skills with crowds of all sizes. From playing clubs to playing stages, Greco is on a path to success and it's easy to see how his dreams drive him forward.

After ten long years of watching each other from afar, our paths came in close proximity to each other once again. I took that opportunity to drive to Atlanta where he was playing the Imagine Festival and catch up.

The following is the conversation the came about after the journey. We connect on the importance of putting in the work, seeking mentors, helping others and always shooting for the moon.

Greco and I may have spent a majority of our lives in two different parts of the world, but I'd say our mindsets are as in sync as the tunes he bumps on his Spotify channel. Now that's what I mean when I say; "He gets it."

Make sure you reach out and connect with Greco below!

"Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people."

John D. Rockefeller

You never know the impact someone will have on you until that impact has already been felt. The influence of multiple mentors and coaches in our lives can pave the way to a foundation of leadership. The important thing is to take those teachings and apply them when necessary.

For today's guest, the first lesson was to NEVER QUIT.

It's a lesson that has stuck with him through his time at the United States Naval Academy, The United States Marine Corps and in his professional and entrepreneurial journey.

Carl Sharperson, Jr. is a Leadership Innovation Strategist, speaker, author, and coach.

The road through life certainly has not been sunshine and rainbows. In his book "Sharp Leadership: Overcome Adversity to Lead with Authenticity," Carl takes readers on a journey of how to transition life experiences into leadership opportunities.

In this episode, Carl shares some of those experiences with us. Including the challenges of being a minority and getting into the United States Naval Academy, overcoming adversity in his professional career, and getting diagnosed with stage 4 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

You won't want to miss the wisdom and lessons shared in this amazing episode!

"If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss"

Rudyard Kipling

Ahhh Yes… The story so many of you have asked me about.

Some of you may have noticed my absence on Instagram the past couple of weeks. To answer your question, that was not by choice. My account was hacked, stolen and likely won't be recovered.

As I type those words above, I oddly feel a bit of excitement.

What can I possibly be excited about? I'm glad you asked.

"With new levels, Come new devils." My man Sergio Loaiza told me that in our episode discussing Growth Mindset and Living With Purpose.

I'm excited because I've never felt that I was a target to have something taken from me. You've probably heard the joke. "You can steal my debit card because there isn't much in my account."

However, I'm thankful to learn the lesson of protection and security with something easily replaceable like an Instagram account. In hindsight, it could have been something so much worse.

Time to move forward…

Now is an opportunity to rise above the adversity in front of me and create a new platform to connect with you. My readers, my followers, my motivation. As you know, I rely on Instagram for a lot of my traffic and visibility. It's not just a social media platform.

For me, my Instagram account is an expression of who I am and who I hope to be.

While typing this, I'm planning on returning and starting a new account with the intention of surpassing my previous success. I hope you join me on the journey and help me learn a few things along the way.

For now, enjoy this laid back and free form episode with Andrej Suttles, Charles Russ and myself. We had a fun time with this one and tried to leave a few nuggets along the way.

If you know someone who can benefit from this, please be sure to share the episode with them. As always, please leave a comment or rating with how you think we are doing.

"Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life."

J.K. Rowling

When you're at the end of your rope. When things are as dark as they've ever been. Some would say that's rock bottom.

If we're talking glass half full here… There's nowhere to go but UP!

Reggie Rocc says it all the time… "Motivation starts HERE!"

Reginald Jones (aka Reggie Rocc) is a Rapper, Minister, Actor, and Entrepreneur. He's also the founder of Rocc Bottom Ministries and Rocc Bottom Apparel.

If you're in a season of pain, disappointment or frustration, Reggie Rocc knows how you feel. When you're with others and in public, you're feeling good and enjoying life. But when the noise stops and you're alone, things feel completely different.

I've been there. Reggie has been there. And perhaps you're there now. Don't let this feeling be the end of your story. In fact, this is where the story picks up.

Motivation starts HERE!

Take a listen as Reggie shares his story of hitting Rocc bottom to now ushering in a wave of motivation through his ministry in bringing others to God.

You are not alone in this struggle and you certainly have a bigger purpose and role in life than what you see in the mirror.

This is an episode you certainly won't want to skip!
