September 04, 2026Kelsey Berry- Founder of The Berry Home DIY!
I thought I was just buying a house. Turns out I was buying my crash course in DIY, patience, and not trusting the first contractor with a toolbox.
Drop a 🛠️ if you’ve ever had a home project go completely sideways.The first big lesson?
A lot of “basic” home fixes are only scary because nobody ever taught us how to do them.
One bad install turned into a ceiling leak on day 3.

I realized I was paying for confidence, not skill.

Once I learned the basics, everything felt way less intimidating.
That one disaster changed how I look at homeownership forever. If you’ve been putting off a repair because it feels too big, this is your sign to start small. Worth learning the thing yourself.

August 25, 2026Ashaunte McLean- Vice President of Red Bull!
Everyone wants the shortcut. But the real move is this - build the resume, then build the relationships. Tag someone who needs this reminder. Ashaunte McLean said his career didn’t take off because of one degree or one big break.
It was:
showing up early

reaching out before the event

learning how to pitch himself in 30 seconds

taking the shot even after a bunch of no’s
That’s the part people skip. The MBA opened the door.
The hustle walked him through it. And honestly, that’s the game in 2026 too. Your degree can help, but your effort is what gets remembered. What’s one move you’re making right now to build your next opportunity?#CareerGrowth #NetworkingTips #PersonalBrand #LeadershipDevelopment #WhoKnewInTheMoment

August 18, 2026Nick Nanton- The Celebrity Branding System That Built Nick Nanton’s First Seven Figures!
I didn’t plan on becoming a lawyer, songwriter, filmmaker, and bourbon founder. I just kept following the thing I was weirdly good at - and that changed everything. Drop a 🔥 if you’ve ever looked at your path and thought, “how did I end up here?”What Nick said hit hard:
A degree can open doors you never expected.

Being "different" is often more valuable than being the best.

The room changes when you bring real value.
That’s the whole game - find your edge, then build around it. What’s the skill you keep coming back to?

July 14, 2026 Garth Glissman- Associate Commissioner for Men's Basketball at the SEC!
"Ever wonder what resilience and humility look like after hitting rock bottom?"
Drop a 🔥 if you've ever had to start over from scratch. Growing up on a Nebraska farm, I always loved sports — until one shocking ankle injury threatened my future in college football. For a while, I doubted if I’d ever play again. But instead of giving up, I kept believing in the process and kept persisting. That adversity turned into my biggest lesson in humility and resilience. Here’s the truth: success isn’t a straight line — it’s about how you bounce back from setbacks. I learned that from sports, law, and leading at the NBA, and now at the SEC. The key? Stay humble, keep learning, and lean into challenges as opportunities. What’s a setback you’ve turned into your comeback?
