    The Audacity of Self-Direction Part 1(b).

    A couple of weeks ago, I was blessed with an opportunity to be the keynote speaker for 'Black Professionals Day' at a high school in the Chicago area. As I was crafting an (admittedly cookie cutter) speech, I found a last minute source of inspiration by looking at old episodes I have in the vault and found Kamar's interview (The Audacity of Self-Direction Part 1) that was shot back in 2019. After being re-inspired by his interview, I decided to drop it that same week to make my 2020 return and center my talk with those students around the biggest learnings in my life around that concept. On today's episode, you'll here the entire keynote address about my professional journey and how finding my sense of self direction has been a huge theme for me throughout my life.  Let's Get it!

    The Audacity of Self-Direction Part 1.

    At a time where the price of college is at an all time high coupled with technology enabling billions to have access to information, we must ask ourselves: what is the value of traditional education? Beyond that, we should have the audacity to have those tough conversations with ourselves in order to really figure out where we want to be and if our current educational pursuit is the best route to getting there. Shot back in 2019 and pulled from the vault, on today’s episode, we hear from Kamar Mack, co-founder of Autoplay Technologies, Inc. (a holding company for a collection of products that gamify your everyday experiences), as he opens up about his decision to take an extended leave of absence from school with only 1 semester left to graduate, what he's been working on, and what the next steps look like for him.  Let's get it!

    The Audacity To Live Through It Part 3.

    *TRIGGER WARNINGS: Assault, Violence, Trauma* Mental health has been a buzzing topic as of late and I’m thankful it's been getting more visibility. However, as Black men, there are a lot of different factors at play in why we don't want nor feel like we can share what's mentally afflicting us. So, I want to approach this a little bit different. On part 3 of today’s episode, we hear more about the space he’s currently in and how Jesus, therapy, and a timely message from Pastor Mike Todd have been his saving graces. Let's get it!

    How do you start a company with college friends, become featured in premier business magazines like Black Enterprise & Forbes, and get grammy-nominated artist Fetty Wap to become the first celebrity partner to endorse your mobile gaming company? Well, according to Keegan, it all starts with the audacity of his curiosity.

    Welcome to The Audacity Project!
