    On paper, our guest shouldn't have succeeded. He was born the mixed-race son of a drug-dealing pimp father and an orphaned, single mother on welfare. He was raised in the slums of Dayton, Ohio, suffered incredible abuse and racism, and had multiple stints in the juvenile justice system. He barely graduated high school and has no college degree.

    But he persevered. Starting by scrubbing toilets, he hustled and worked his way into better opportunities, eventually finding incredible success in the banking and mortgage industry. He was on top of the world. Until the mortgage industry fell apart. He lost his job, and literally all of his money. He had to borrow from friends to make rent. He was nearly back to where he started: with nothing. But this time, he had something he didn't have before: the knowledge of what it takes to succeed. He used this setback, combined with what he learned, as the springboard to reach even bigger heights--eventually becoming President of two multimillion-dollar companies. Currently, he is the President and CEO of Scribe Media and lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife, Megan, and their four children. Meet JeVon "JT" McCormick.

    Learn how to turn pain into purpose. Jan 18, 2021
    Show notes

    We have a truly special guest today. He knows a lot about leadership. He also knows adversity—but overcame it. As one of six children, raised in South Jamaica New York by a single mom who cleaned houses, he and his siblings didn't always know if they would come home to an eviction notice on the front door or food on the table. When he was 15 years old, he and his brother were arrested for criminal trespassing. While they were in police custody, those officers beat him and his brother, repeatedly. But instead of giving into anger, he turned his pain into purpose and decided to change the police department from within. After finishing his education, he served for 22 years as an officer in the New York City Transit Police and in the New York City Police Department (NYPD), retiring with the rank of Captain. With a goal to continue being an agent of positive change, he went into politics and currently serves as Brooklyn Borough President - but his sites are set on becoming the next mayor of New York. Meet Eric Adams.
