The Professional Winner Podcast — Business
The Professional Winner Podcast

The Professional Winner Podcast was created by Jonathan Conyers to motivate and uplift people. It was also created to give a voice to the unheard and to provide a safe space for all people. Such a cliche right? Well let’s break down what that term Professional Winner means to him. His whole life he wanted to be an entrepreneur. That term meant so much to him and it symbolized freedom. Free to travel, free to escape the harsh reality of the world. Being free from judgment and just being able to have ownership and live the American dream that he knew people from his community rarely ever get the chance to have. However, as he got into the business world it just seemed like the term was just getting more and more diluted. Money was all that mattered. People who really didn’t have that confidence and risky type of personality that’s needed to be in this business world still used the term. The term was just starting to be used so freely and it was upsetting. So he started saying he’s not an entrepreneur, he’s a Professional Winner. Instantly he felt better and he thought the term had more value to it. Jonathan also elaborated on what the term Winner meant. It had nothing to do with likeness, financial freedom, or coming in first place — it had to do with believing in yourself. It had to do with taking Step 1 and putting yourself out there. Understanding that it’s okay to be happy with where you are and being content is sometimes okay. Winners understand that sometimes you have to lose and that sometimes no matter what life throws at you – the fight continues. If you’re reading this or listening to the trailer just know that you are a Professional Winner and we hope you come on this journey with us.

Episode 8 | Cheryl Loves Life & Marriage To A Prison Escapee Jan 21, 2022

Show notes

On Episode 8 of The Professional Winner Podcast we have the amazing Cheryl Love. Mrs. Love is the wife of Bobby Love.
Bobby and Cheryl Love's incredible story was shared on 'Humans of New York'. In 2015, the FBI knocked on the door of Bobby Love - a convict from North Carolina who escaped prison, changed his name and led a double life for years that his family had no clue about.

"It was just a normal morning. Almost exactly five years ago... And we get this knock on the door," his wife, Cheryl Love, recalled in the first of a series of 11 posts shared by the popular Instagram Page Humans of New York.

Recounting the incident, Cheryl said that one of the officers who barged into her Brooklyn home asked her husband his name. When he answered "Bobby Love", they asked him to reveal his real name.

"And I heard him say something real low. And they responded: 'You've had a long run'," she said.

Bobby Love, as Cheryl soon discovered, was not her husband's real name. His name was actually Walter Miller, and he had escaped prison in 1977, made it to New York, married and raised a family until authorities tracked him down in 2015. For over 37 years, he had managed to lead a double life.

Her exposed highs are managed wonderfully, with notable beauty,” (San Francisco Classical Voice). Her recording of James Matheson’s Times Alone with Yarlung Records was hailed by MusicWeb International for, “…shapely, nuanced voicings and emotional urgency...a striking directness.” New Voices, the Billboard Classical Top-Ten best-selling CD including her recording of Glen Roven’s The Vineyard Songs with pianist Michael Brofman was credited by Opera News, “Laura Strickling’s lovely diction and warm, clear sound bring attractive immediacy to this cycle.” She can also be heard on New American Song @SongFest, performing Jake Heggie’s Edna St. Vincent Millay with pianist Dimitri Dover, and on The Garden: Songs and Vocal Chamber Music of Tom Cipullo, performing the landmark song cycle Of a Certain Age with pianist Liza Stepanova.

Episode 1 | Former Bank Robber and Prison Escapee Bobby Love Dec 13, 2021

Show notes

Episode 1 of The Professional Winner Podcast is finally here. We start the podcast off with an amazing guest Bobby Love. Bobby and Cheryl Love were living in Brooklyn, happily married for decades, when the FBI and NYPD appeared at their door and demanded to know from Bobby, in front of his shocked wife and children: “What is your name? No, what’s your real name?”

Bobby’s thirty-eight-year secret was out. As a Black child in the Jim Crow South, Bobby found himself in legal trouble before his 14th birthday. Sparked by the desperation he felt in the face of limited options and the pull of the streets, Bobby became a master thief. He soon found himself facing a thirty-year prison sentence. But Bobby was smarter than his jailers. He escaped, fled to New York, changed his name, and started a new life as “Bobby Love.” During that time, he worked multiple jobs to support his wife and their growing family, coached Little League, attended church, took his kids to Disneyland, and led an otherwise normal life. Then it all came crashing down. Bobby Love highly anticipated book The Redemption of Bobby Love just came out and it is an unbelievable but true account of building a life from scratch, the pain of festering secrets in marriage, and the unbreakable bonds of faith and love that keep a family together.
Bobby has also just recently agreed to a TV deal with Disney and FX for a TV show about his amazing life which will be produced by greats such as Kerry Washington and Octavia Spencer.
