My University – (Particularly 1 business and marketing professor)

I went back to school at age 26 and earned my degree at 28. My experience was through a cohort based program for working adults. One professor's energy, enthusiasm, assignments, and personality drove my results through uncomfortable situations.

Healthcare provider(s)

I, like many others, have persistent health challenges. I have found 4 individuals who have made a huge impact on my overall wellbeing. Which translates into a better quality of life, and a mindset shift towards a positive future.

The Ship 30 For 30 Team

Dickie Bush and Nicolas Cole's course has helped me create new habits, modify existing habits, and see new possibilities. The other team members and shippers are the foundation of this wonderful community. The course and ongoing experiences have rocketed my personal progress forward.

The Scouts

As a teenager, this organization may have been the difference between making some bad decisions and really bad decisions. The people I’ve met in this organization have become mentors, lifelong friends, and act as a larger support system. My experience has been inspirational towards contributing as a volunteer today.

My current place of work

Good, bad, ugly, regardless of how I feel day to day the bottom line has been overall growth. Skill ups in several areas, and many challenges have resulted in personal and professional advancement. If it weren’t for some of the challenges I may not have began publishing online – and that makes work something to be thankful for.
