What Drives U? episodes

  • The Wheels On the Bus

    On this second day of daily posting, if you want to know what’s physically driving me right now? It’s the 🚌 and 🚊 😅 neither of which is very good here in Charlotte but maybe it’s just me.

  • “Make life happen FOR me, not to me”

    I was reading a book and it was challenging readers to post content daily to be consistent. So I decided to just jump in and do it. 

    Do I expect a lot of views? Nope 

    Do I know what I’m going to talk about every day? Also no 

    That’s what makes this challenge exciting! I promise that I’ll share some useful information, organize some dope interviews and ad value that’s not AI generated. Please share any feedback on anything that might’ve resonated with you. #whatdrivesu
