Will Smith says, "In the 20 years I've known DeVon, he's lived his life the same way he makes his movies: with commitment, humility, and a work ethic that demands respect."

Oprah has called him “a bonafide dynamo…a different kind of spiritual teacher for our times.”

In this amazing interview DeVon and I talk about:

Knowing who you are and what that means for your life
The power of self-love and commitment
Why willpower isn't good enough to have success in any area of your life
What the roles of men are today and how these roles can affect your health
The important role Wil Smith played in his personal and professional career to produce films, write and public speak
Why he has a purpose and passion for entertainment to inspire and motivate people
Hollywood honors the maverick and how he has maintained his truth in the industry
And much more...

You will be left inspired and enlightened by DeVon after listening to this podcast. It certainly is one of the most important conversations I've had with someone in the entertainment industry.
