As much as I love sharing the message on the importance of networking and relationships, I love learning about it from others. One thing I learned from Kelly is that diversity goes beyond race and gender. Our network should also consist of a mix of psychographics and demographics. This interview is an absolute value add:

We discuss:
First and foremost, thanks for following me into 2017. I hope your year is filled with peace, laughter, and success.
This week I do a short episode based on my Facebook 2016 wrap up post:
2016 what can I say?
Plans have failed. Expectations were exceeded. Friendships were created, amended and some are faint. Business continues to cycle. The pain allows me to grow. The mind always reflects. The laughter continues to heal. Your company keeps me sane. I always figure it out. Always.
I could talk about my shortcomings, but God hasn't allowed me to come short. I could talk about my life's highlights, but it was His light that allows me to receive. Grace is before me. Through it all I remain Grateful.
My 2017 mantra and promise Remain True To My Narrative. It will be a Year of Disruption.
2017 Plans:
I Believe In You!
