Black Panther Movie (Marvel)

 Tonight Alicia and I go out on the premier night of the Black Panther Marvel Movie.  Sitting in the theater, it was a historic feeling and highly enjoyable experience.  Based on the reviews and the many trailers that showed half of the movie.  It was well worth it.

This week I sit down with Russell Kirkman, entrepreneur, musician, author, life coach and motivational speaker.  This episode Russell walks us through his journey to self awareness through a near death experience and how everyone should seek and embrace their individual calling.  This episode I have a very spiritual and enlightening conversation with a very talented individual. I hope you enjoy.

Russell says it’s all about rejuvenating and strengthen an individual’s positive attitude. Russell’s genuine belief in people, his compelling stories, and his amusing reflections of how he stayed positive in an unpredictable corporate and entrepreneurial arena keep readers and audiences on the edge of their seat
