“When I told him about the idea of doing a radio show, he said to me, ‘here’s how you can make money from it…if sponsors know that they can sponsor a particular segment, then you can break it down. So, you can have different sponsors doing different segments.’”

“When life decides to hand you lemons, you can decide to make lemonade, or you can complain that it’s sour and you complain, and you just don’t do anything about it. So, my circumstance I’ve found is a platform that has just given me such a drive so I’m never comfortable.”

“Entrepreneurship in Jamaica is huge. I think we’re setting the standard for all other Caribbean nations.”

“Doing the podcast and doing it on my own – doing everything – I was taken out of my comfort zone.”

“I’m really pleased with the outcome and the product [Podcast Power]. I’m looking forward to it being a best-seller!”

“I’m also a big believer that we don’t have business problems, we have personal problems that affect our business.”

“I’ve always been the type of person where I was like, ‘Look, if you tell me what to do, I’ll run through walls and I’ll make that happen.’”

“That’s something I’m actually really working on now and actually devising a plan on how can I celebrate things better and be more in tune with just enjoying the now. All we have is the now. The history is gone and tomorrow will never come, so all we have is the present.”

“When you have clarity on why you’re doing something, you can withstand storms.”

“The thing for me – the podcast, the documentary, the whole thing – is I want to have cool conversations with cool people. That’s it. I think that’s the coolest thing ever. That’s what lights me up. And, if I can do that for the rest of my life, I’ve won.”

“The limiting beliefs we can have are so terrible. And that’s when you need to be really honest and upfront. And it’s painful and it doesn’t feel good when you do it. But, I’ll tell you what, if you do it now, you will save yourself so much pain and you will be able to feel so much better as well.”

“Dealing with crisis it’s like autopilot for me. And so, I don’t really feel it until I sit down and go, ‘Ok, now that I’ve looked after everybody else, what do I need?’”

“Mindset is way more important right now than tactics or strategy.”

“You mentioned empathic and that’s just how I came out. And, I’m also just a problem-solver; I see gaps. I’m a strategist by nature.”

“I learned [as a correction’s officer] to be able to just really be there in space – hold space with people. I learned how to not exacerbate situations but to deescalate situations naturally.”

“Podcasting, and podcast guesting, is what I do, but they’re just vehicles. So, whether it’s podcasting, whether it’s podcast guesting, whether it’s social media, whether it’s blogging, whether it’s YouTube, whatever. These are just vehicles to achieve a goal.”

“Even, tactically, the first question I ask is, ‘Tell me about you outside of tech.’ It’s something that I use to write the intro. I don’t ever put it into the episode. It’s really just a way for us to warm up with each other, and talk about life, and get acquainted, and sort of connect a little bit before we start talking about the product.”

“I’d say, stereotypically in the tech world, we’re not known for being the best communicators. And I’d say that’s true for me. And so, the idea of talking confidently in a microphone and communicating and elaborating in a clear way was difficult for me.”

“I think it’s interesting, people that I have experienced that have done tech for a long time really get tech because they’re really smart people. But they do have a hard time explaining it. They do have a hard time relating to the masses of how most people see tech.”

“I wish that we [Veryable] had a bigger footprint right now; we don’t. We’re just young and our footprint, we’re happy with it, but we wish we had a bigger footprint so we could help out further.”

“Something just kinda went off inside me that said, ‘This sounds great but is it really me?’ I actually think I’d rather just have a solid business.”

“Looking at social media, we always look at ‘What works well for people on Instagram isn’t gonna necessarily work well on LinkedIn, isn’t going to work as well on Facebook.’ So, having really platform-specific focuses for the content and really making sure that when you are working on content repurposing that you look at search and social.”

“I think sometimes people do just get bored and then sometimes mistake failure with the fact that actually nothing failed, you just didn’t give it enough chance and you got bored. So, failure and boredom are not the same thing.”

“I always think that I can improve. I’m probably quite hard on myself.”

“I’m always changing lifestyle because of something that I heard on a podcast.”

“What is the difference between really compelling storytelling and just people sitting down and just chatting, just talking. So, for me, I’m trying to build a full story arc. And when I’m sitting down and interviewing a guest I’m trying to get into ‘What is the core message? What is the core takeaway?’”

“That [passion] was the only thing that was driving me. I didn’t know if I was gonna be successful at it. I still don’t know even know. I’m just always improving, always trying to raise the level each time.”

“It’s kinda cliché. For 2020, I said that motivation is dead for 2020. I don’t wanna hear any more motivation quotes. I’m motivation quote’d out. That’s all y’all got is words.”

“Until we get to that point…I’m gonna do everything I can do to break in here in this facet. So, immigration, what voice would not be better for this? Young, youthful, forward-thinking, inquisitive, really want to get to the facts, really want to understand what’s going on in this world and how, as a globe, that we can better understand each other.”
