Bucks over Brooklyn. An individual who sees himself as part of a collective group and works together to overcome national favorites. One team that endured playoff heartbreak in consecutive years found the inner strength to not give up or give into external chatter, and the other team who chased the easy path to reach success. The Bucks are becoming the Spurs of the 2020's.

While we set goals for ourselves and work to achieve them, sometimes we just hit a wall. Rich describes his recent experience hitting a wall and his adjustments to overcome it. Maybe instead of trying to breakthrough the wall, find the gate instead and walk through? Take action and then take a step back. Watch the gate open.

We can then intentionally use the digital tools at our disposal to communicate and serve as a bridge to other communities. This is how to create a bright 21st century.

Jennifer Pham joins the show for an inspiring episode. We discuss how it’s important to reflect on our lives so we can better understand our skills and what we want to do with out lives so we can better help our communities and make an impact. Jennifer is a great example of this. This conversation is encouraging and fun. We cover much ground, including some of her self-care routine that enables he...
