It's hard to trust the process, and have faith that no matter what you're going through its all apart of the journey.

In this episode I got the opportunity to sit down & interview Will "Zee" Tidwell CEO of SpeakUpZee LLC. Zee grew up in Little Rock, AK as a future basketball star, but everything changed when his parents split at 17 and he ended up homeless with his mother. With no other options Zee quit basketball and helped provide for his family. During that hard time Zee started sharing his story through his writing, and the feeling he had from helping others and being vulnerable was the same amazing feeling he felt when he'd drop 30 points in a bball game. From that point on Zee knew what he was meant to do! Zee stumbled across his purpose at 17 years old, & learned how to use his story, hardship, & struggles not only as a way to motivate himself, but to also motivate & help others. In this episode I’ll be talking to Zee about his story, how he found his purpose, and get some advice from all of his experience going through life on the way towards his “top floor.” So without further a-do let’s listen in on my interview with the….Will “Zee” Tidwell. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/d2dtothetopfloor/message

In this episode I go over why its important to network. I think its a "moo point" that networking is important, this episode is pretty obvious in that sense. When I asked a few buddies they gave me similar answers that some of you may offer if I asked you why it was important. It plays a role in our professional lives sure, but it also plays a major role in our personal lives and relationships as well but asking for advice from someone you know and trust is healthy. At the end of the day you'll have to take action on your own but networking can be a shortcut. Please take a listen to this episode where I share why I network and the 5 reasons that its become something regular in my life.  Please share, leave reviews, and interact with me on social! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/d2dtothetopfloor/message
