Episode #39 - How FAILURE leads to SUCCESS May 20, 2024

On today’s show, we do some honest reflection around the concept of failure. We all fail at some point - some of us more than others. The failure itself shouldn’t be the defining moment, as it’s how we respond to failure that matters most. Enjoy!

Episode #35 - 2024 US Presidential Candidate and Former Hoverboard CEO - Dr. Rollan Roberts II Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

On today's show, we have the great honor of sitting down with 2024 U.S. presidential candidate, Dr. Rollan Roberts II. Dr. Roberts is the former CEO of the Hoverboard company, and he's been in executive leadership at several other organizations.
As the former U.S. delegation to South Sudan, he's done extensive work throughout the continent of Africa on behalf of the U.S. government. He's worked with foreign leaders of many nations, and he's seen the best and the worst of how the U.S. government treats its allies and its enemies.
He's an accomplished author, having written several books - and now he's set his sights on the 2024 U.S. presidency. We cover a lot of topics in today's discussion, including foreign policy, national defense, Africa, immigration, AI, education, and much more.
