This week we had the pleasure of being joined by the author, business owner and professional footballer Ira Jackson Jr,  to discuss how he pursues his many passions. . Ira told us that he doesn’t like being put into a box and the thing most important to him is his freedom to wear many hats.

His upbringing and those he surrounds himself with started his journey towards his passion in so many ways, from writing poetry at a young age to now passing that knowledge onto the next generation. .  Ira touches on how his faith has influenced his journey, the importance of celebrating the little victories and why your character is more important than being naturally gifted. We also spoke about how any achievement no matter how big or small is an accomplishment and why a person’s character is way more important than someone’s gift.
