Today on the show we’re replaying Jayson’s talk with the CEO and co-founder of Scribe Media JeVon McCormick, who talks about his difficult upbringing in Ohio, and how he feels like that gave him the opportunity to work harder than everyone else around him, and gave him valuable life lessons that he still hangs on to today.

JeVon was sexually abused as a young child, left alone for weeks at a time to take care of his brothers and sisters, and spent 3 weeks in juvenile detention without anyone knowing he was there. He still finds a way to find the positive in life, and take lessons from all of his hardships.

Highlights:

• Trying to fit in while growing up in Dayton, Ohio
• JeVon’s mom stepping up in the absence of his dad
• Surviving at home alone with his brothers and sisters as a 12 year old
• JeVon’s uncle getting him on the right path
• Reuniting with his mom in Texas
• Using touch challenges as life lessons
• Seeing as bad as it gets and using that to rise to the top
• Keep the opportunities alive
• Having the privilege to work 100x harder than everyone else
• Struggling with not being the smartest person in the room
• Three words JeVon eliminated from his vocabulary
• And much more…
