Chat With Leaders Media

Cava is the jam! I need one closer to me. Oh, and I look forward to this conversation! 😄 It's an honor that we get to support the great team at Cooleaf in creating these great conversations.

Man, I love what I get to do for a living. ❤️ In the most recent episode of B Local Georgia's podcast, B The Change Georgia, I sat down with Rennie Curran. We talk about life's lessons and what we do with them, the importance of professional coaches and mentors, and intentionally building your personal brand to open doors to new opportunities. Rennie and I first met towards the tail end of his football career, through an introduction from Charlie Thackston. I started following his blossoming speaking career, and in 2020, in the midst of Covid, I signed up for his speaking course (I HIGHLY recommend it if you want to break into this field). He's been my speaking coach ever since. So yes, it was really cool to enjoy this full circle moment when the player got to interview his coach. Thank you, Rennie! 🙏 You can listen to the full conversation wherever you find your podcasts, or you can click here: https://lnkd.in/e3tdP2T8 As always, thank you to Quentin Thomas and the entire Chat With Leaders Media team for making me sound halfway competent as a podcast host. 😂
