This week it’s Elizabeth Montgomery.

Did you know a journalist from ATL can speak Japanese?

Elizabeth tells her story through a lens of persistence. Not giving up and moving forward should be her middle name. She takes us from her youth of watching her father in journalism, to battling the streets while homeless. This is a woman who has seen it all and knows where she belongs.

Did you know she got the opportunity to meet celebrities such as Usher, Babyface, and Kevin Hart? Yet, she still chooses to interview people who often do not get the spotlight. That’s that makes her different !

1:12:36

The fun and games all stop here...I wish Introducing one of my lifelong friends, Da'Shaun Harrison. He's a Writer & Community organizer. He's the kind of person you want to meet, and I guarantee you won't forget. We spend time speaking about Trans issues, Anti-Fatness culture, Police Brutality, Black Issues, the power scale of culture, horoscopes, and so much more. This episode is one of my personal favorites because we stepped outside the typical content and conversation. Da'Shaun and I share an ability to weave through conversations effortlessly. This allows us to be in the moment and offer our own personal truth to the other person's thoughts. To really understand the concepts in this episode, you're going to have to continue to do more research ON YOUR WAY. Google will be your best friend for a few months. There's no reason to be embarrassed or ashamed of where you are in the journey. I personally, Nathanael Tyre, wouldn't have gotten to where I'm at without people like Da'Shaun guiding me. It's an episode you won't forget. This is Da'Shaun Harrison. https://dashaunharrison.com/ https://twitter.com/_iamroyal https://www.instagram.com/dagodlyshaun/ https://www.facebook.com/dagodlyshaun/…

How blogging can influence other people to improve their lives with Dondrae Moore 34:51

34:51

This week we got the opportunity to interview Dondrae Moore. I first got the chance to meet this gentlemen at the legendary Warsaw Day in Warsaw, NC. Dondrae is a blogger by trade and has evolved into creating photography as well. He initially began blogging because it was a creative escape for him. With the traumatic events in his life, there was no telling where that energy could be placed. So, instead of putting into eating unhealthy food, he chose writing. After he began his journey, he noticed other people looking at him weird because he was a man with a blog. None of that mattered. Dondrae touts the fact that the opinions of others have not been able to stop him from fulfilling his dreams and ambitions. Dondrae’s one key take away from this interview was to “Just be yourself.” And I couldn’t agree more. There’s no other person alive, besides yourself, you owe your happiness to. This is Dondrae Moore. https://voiceornovoiceblog.wordpress.com https://www.facebook.com/voiceornovoice/ https://www.instagram.com/voiceornovoice_/…

The man who doesn't want to be defined as one thing, it's Jeremey Shropshire. He's an entrepreneur, thought-leader, author, and too many other things to contain his greatness. From a young age, he's had the drive to continue to push himself forward. No amount of negativity from his circumstance or environment could hold him from achieving higher goals. We got the opportunity to speak about things in the Black community, being an entrepreneur, and how long it's been since we've been together in 6th grade. This is a man who I got to know personally along my journey as a child. We pushed one another further, we held each other accountable. This is a man to know.

Austin Rogers is the Founder of the Wilmington Based Company, Industree. From early years spent helping his grandparents on the farm, Austin learned the meaning of work ethic. That mindset is what propelled him into starting his own environmental fashion brand. While Austin recollects that his journey was filled with issues of mental struggles, his environment is what helped him see the other side. We spoke about the value of keeping positive energy in your circle. On top of a positive environment, Austin wanted to highlight the internet. "Google and the internet is such a powerful tool, it can help you find a brighter place within your mind, or even help you start a business." When Austin started his company, he was a digital designer. Everything he learned, he taught himself. Everything he does, he learned on his own. With a little bit of support, everyone can find something that makes them passionate. This is Austin Rogers. Instagram: @Industree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Industree/…

The King of all Jacks himself, it's Julian Melton. This brother has just about everything an entrepreneur needs to succeed. Determination. Passion. Couple those with the ability to manage time, he's one killer dude. His story begins with having to overcome being less fortunate than his friends. This is what inspired him to get his first job, under the table. After employment, when he received his first paycheck, that's when everything changed. He knew he had something to give the world. Julian says one of the most important things to him along the journey was his family's belief in him and his ability to succeed. That's the difference maker. After our conversation, some of my favorite quotes by Julian are: "In everything you do, remain passionate." "Retain an unparalleled determination."…

Wyatt James Janning is an Entrepreneur who harps on sales, marketing, hustle, and kindness. He's currently a Divisional Sales Manager at ActiveILM and a Team Leader for Tranont Health & Wealth Education Company. As a child, he dreamed of becoming a Marine Corps officer. This initial dream along with his family's skills and history, Wyatt took a chance. He became an entrepreneur. His first lesson learned was accept change. Without acceptance for change, Wyatt understood his success would be limited. Growing up in a competitive household and being in sports for most of his life, Wyatt always stayed busy. That was his secret to his success during his youth. As he became more mature in his journey. he found a link between physical and mental health. This lead to his turning point. The defining moment is Wyatt's life was when two fraternity brothers of his, told him "You've got potential to be president". His skepticism crept in and he wondering if these men say this to everyone, they didn't. Wyatt was the real deal. My personal favorite quote from this interview is Wyatt speaking on behalf of Laird Hamilton "Make sure your own worst enemy doesn't live between your ears." This is Wyatt Janning.…
