Hello friend - welcome!

This is a three part series - I invite you to listen to parts 1 and 3.

Success is a combination of many things, one of which is language. Language is powerful, it has presence and when spoken correctly will move people to act. As I embark on my success journey to be my best, to master my craft and to be financially independent my hope is that you will use these messages to your advantage...to be fluent in the success language!

Remember to share this podcast with those who you think will benefit from it. Thank you for your time and interest.

Cheers,

Hello Friend,

Welcome to this special treat!

This is the theme song for my podcast. I wrote it and recorded it.

Yes, I thought I'd give my voice a go at singing - not bad at all (I think). With some training I think good things can happen.

Hello friend,

Welcome to this bonus episode!

In this episode I talk about why students should stay in school during and post COVID-19.

I have noticed that many of our young people are quick to press the pause button on their education thanks to the numerous offers and promises that are made on social media of making a quick buck or some get-rich quick system. Education gives people options, choices and independence. It's an investment that will pay off over time. 

Please share this message with someone who you think will appreciate it. Thank you.

Enjoy!

Hello friend - welcome!

I never get tired of expressing my appreciation for your interest and support, thank you:)

This episode is applicable to all of us at some stage on our success journey. When the troubles of life come knocking, banging, kicking and roaring - we sometimes want to run and hide. But in this episode I say STAND UP TO LIFE'S CHALLENGES! Because the pressing issues must be addressed.  In facing setbacks, failures and disappointments we develop grit, resilience and strength we never knew that we had. And in building mental and even physical strength we learn to take full responsibility for what happens in our world....and that's just commendable.

Enjoy all 10 points + the bonus and share the good news with those you love and care about!

Cheers,

Hi friend,

Welcome!

This is not a full episode - it's a bonus! And please pardon the abrupt end to the message, I ran out of recording space on my device. As also the noise as it was recorded outdoors.

I love this message, I share 5 tips about conventional wisdom. This bonus episode will cause you to rethink some of the messages that you've been told since childhood. Of course each person's situation is different and so you'll ultimately decide what rocks your boat.

Enjoy and cheers!

Hi friend,

Welcome!

In this episode I share my take on what it means to be down to earth. I've found that too many people associate loose, rude and sloppy with being cool or down to earth. Here I share 10 points on the topic plus a bonus - as a token of my appreciation for your time.

Thanks for listening and remember to share if you found the information worthwhile.

Enjoy!

Hi Friend,

Welcome!

This is a particularly compelling episode for two reasons;

  1. I have experienced (and continue to experience) racism and xenophobia at the college where I work part-time as an instructor in Pennsylvania. This bothered me much more than I realized because it's all new to me as I'm Jamaican by birth. And so I had to talk about it - to get it out of my system. There is another episode  that shares a lot more about this repulsive act/mindset and I hope you'll listen to it. 

I don't know who you are or what your philosophy is but I want to urge you to not perpetrate these ugly mindsets and behaviors. In keeping with today's topic: Be A Genuinely Nice And Kind Person - to everyone!

  1. Life is about choices, and we should always choose the high road/what is right. I'm pleased to share some of the ways you can do just that in this episode. We should never allow ugly and evil to get the better of us - ever.

Thank you and enjoy!

Cheers...
