Can you teach someone to be unafraid?

TLDR: Can you teach someone to be “unafraid” to act when they recognize that the risks are low? Since I was 14 I always took risks, I calculated the risk and wasn’t afraid of the consequences and I did things that others ask “who told you that it was OK to do that?” To which I respond…what was the worst thing that could happen?

I f***ing get it … Representation Matters

I’m OK being the first black anything. I’m an innovator, by my nature I like going into things others likely haven’t done. So when it comes to race…I’ve actually never needed to “see black people” in the role to feel like it was possible for me. …

Hustle is in my DNA, sorry not sorry

My dad hustled, so I didn’t have to. It’s in his DNA and thus, likely mine. It’s all I saw my entire life, and I do mean entire. This is my dad, on my mom’s 80th birthday in 96 degree weather. Yeah that is not a typo. NINETY SIX! Here…

Finding Mentors: Do you want to feel better or get better?
