From Playboy to Insurance Professional: The Power of Overcoming Challenges and Taking Risks.
From her start as a Playboy Centerfold and Covergirl to her life as a Screen Actors' Guild member and then Top Rated Insurance professional, Deborah Driggs has had to clear many hurdles in life to make these things happen. And while it may seem like Deborah's success came easy to her, nothing could be further from the truth. Rather, she has overcome a number of challenges in her life to get where she is today but what IS true and part of her character, is her willingness to take risks, maintain a positive attitude, and never take "No" for an answer.

Introduction
About My Two Cents:
The goal is to build conversations with everyday human beings. To listen to their perspectives about the topic of their choosing; all the while, providing a safe space platform for all. We all have a voice wanting to be heard but don’t have an opportunity to speak it. This is it: it’s time to give back and start listening to the voices wanting to be heard and remembering that with our words, we can spark some sense and inspire changes in others.
