Our first video recorded podcast features an extremely special guest.  Kyahnna Richardson (Deryck's daughter) who talks about what Generation Z-ers are doing to influence the masses and gain followers and subscribers.  The idea of this episode came about when Kyahnna asked her dad, why he wasn't recording his podcast.  Deryck answered, "I don't know, I didn't think about it."  She then went on to talk about using multiple platforms and expanding your reach in an effort to brand yourself rather than your business. It's important to listen to other's opinions and ideas and mimic success.  

Special Guest Max Whiteside, Content Evangelist at JAKK Media, talks about how to separate yourself from the pack.  Max sits on several boards and holds an MBA in Public Administration from Ohio Dominican University.  A proven sales leader with a passion for leading productive teams, Max will surely give you something to talk about during this episode.

Leads are the backbone to any sales organization.  Today we here from a special guest who has seen success all over the place.  Former Heisman Candidate and NFL Quarterback Joshua Harris talks about the importance of consistent lead flow and working leads appropriately.  Harris has been in the insurance industry since 2011 and has built a successful business.  Listen in as he talks about leads, leads, and more leads.
