Howdy friend,

Recently, I had the privilege of hosting JeVon McCormick on my podcast.

(Click anywhere on the image below to listen to our conversation)

JeVon was born the mixed-race son of a negligent, drug-dealing pimp father and a struggling single mom. He was raised in the slums of Dayton, Ohio, where he suffered abuse and racism and went to Juvie three times.

Now, he is the CEO and President of professional book publishing company, Scribe Media, as well as the author of the memoir, "I Got There: How a Mixed-Race Kid Overcame Racism, Poverty, and Abuse to Arrive at the American Dream".

But JeVon isn't just a rags-to-riches story. He has become one of the greatest leaders of our time.

His story and book singlehandedly helped me to develop a strong work ethic.

His courage inspired me to share my own story.

His selfless nature motivates me to find different ways to give back to my community.

Very few people have impacted me as much as JeVon has, and I wanted to share his story, so that you, too, can learn from such a humble leader.

What better way to start your week off?

All the best,

Nick
