We all know what’s supposed to happen after you go to college: You get your degree, get your good-paying job, and live happily ever after.  It didn’t happen that way for Reuben Affiah.  Reuben found his calling when he added something else to the equation: A Mission  

Six years ago, Reuben took a risk that he knew he had to make work. He left a banking job and took another job for a position he knew nothing about.  Flash forward and he’s the Director of Purchasing at UNC-TV   

Find out the incredible backstory to this transformation and what you can learn from it to make your own transformation into a better version of yourselves.  

Here’s what you don’t want to miss in that story:  


Reuben's journey as an 11-year old Nigerian immigrant in Durham to college graduate.   
Finding Your Calling: How to find your path in life (when no one really tells you how to do that!)
Finding Your Path: Reuben’s journey from purchasing newbie to Director of Purchasing at UNC.

As Timothy Bibb shared, all of us have gifts and talents that can add value to others. All of us

have greatness.

The problem is, however, that we get distracted.

We are told what we SHOULD be doing or we get distracted by what we COULD do.

Once you break free of that SHOULD and COULD, you break into what you CAN do.

That is where you find your success “sweet point”.

But how do you get to that point?

Timothy Bibb, the multi-faceted minister, entrepreneur, future farmer, and counselor with more in

store has some tips on how to capture your moments of brilliance, find your path, and taking

personal responsibility in order to help you reach your next level of greatness.

If you’re ready, check out the next episode of the AchieveSuccess podcast.

Following the path vs Pursuing your own path

Most of us were aware that many fitness professionals (like Zumba instructor Erica Dixon) had switched to online lessons and workouts during the COV19 lockdown.  What most of us aren’t aware of is how they did it.  

In this episode of the Achieve Success podcast, Nathaniel talks with Erica about the changes she had to make to keep her fitness business going when everyone was quarantining at home.  Erica shares how she was not only able to maintain her business but DOUBLE her classes membership during this challenging time when many gyms are struggling.  

But Erica’s tips aren’t just about building business during the unpredictable. These tips are about YOU, how you can use this time when things are slowed down to reset your life to make you stronger, smarter, and more profitable in the future.  

Here are some highlights:

Finding opportunity during the lockdown

How to stand out in a super-competitive field

Finding your passion….and getting paid for it

Building authentic online relationships

NOW is the time

Being a role model

Developing your communication skills in new relationships

All of us have the dream of getting that “one-shot”, the one opportunity where we get to prove ourselves to the world about our talent.  For Elizabeth Ashley Green, it was a mistake.  After running from her broadcast TV career, Elizabeth found herself a “starving artist”. She could paint and make money here and there, but it wasn’t as consistent as she would have liked.  So, she took a photograph.  That photograph got a lot of responses, so she started doing more.  Then a potential person who could have been her next portrait stopped the momentum. She declined Ashley's offer to create artwork from her photograph.   This situation would have stopped other photographers, but it didn’t stop Ashley. In fact, she turned that negative situation into a profitable business.  Find out what she did in the next episode of the Achieve Success Podcast.  

Here are some highlights:


Elizabeth’s journey from TV work to a starving artist to photography BOSS.  
The negative situation that shifted Ashley into an entirely different career and business.  
How Ashley is destroying the “starving artist” concept by doing business the right way.  
Breaking barriers as a Black female photographer.  
Dealing with negative clients.  
The mentor that helped Elizabeth upgrade her photography skills.

For most of us, college was the assumed answer to the “What are you going to leave high school?” question.

Yet, as Nathaniel Holmes shares in his interview with Rod Laws, the answer is much bigger than that. It’s not just about getting a piece of paper anymore.

It’s about finding your abilities and matching it to the right opportunity.

Rod Laws mastered this principle early, even though he encountered many challenges along the way. As a child, he did not speak until he was 5. He grew up in an area where people that lived where he lived didn’t make it.

They became statistics.

Rod Laws became an exception.

Not only did he graduate high school and college to follow his childhood dream of becoming an educator, but he also became the owner of multiple businesses in addition to getting licensed as an insurance agent in addition to starting a tutoring side hustle during the COVID-19 crisis.

This episode will dive into how Rod got there and his plans for the next better version of himself.

Along the way, Nathaniel and Rod drop tips on how to overcome obstacles in your path to a better self including:


Finding your way after college
Tapping into your big WHY
How to turn rejection into feedback for your future success
Overcoming big disappointments
Getting financially free
Developing the confidence to conquer anything

Tune in if you’re a person trying to figure how to start (or rebuild) your life and the steps a real-life hero did to unleash his best self along the way
