Your greatest strength comes from finding your true self. Because it is in the acknowledgment of who you are that you can appreciate your purpose.

Having the opportunity to host the 2nd Annual Leadership Legacy Conference at Michigan State University was an awesome honor. Sharing memorable stories with my former teammate Darien Harris, hearing lessons of service and our responsibility to one another from Dr. Mona Hannah-Attisha, who is one of the top 100 most influential people on earth, and finishing with the wisdom of leadership from Coach Tucker and Coach Izzo, provided yet another launchpad for all of us to pursue our ambitions and make someone, in addition yourself, better.

This is what it's all about. We're talking being a great leader, overcoming obstacles, and leaving a legacy. Starting Right Now!
