Love. Inspiration. Motivation. Affirmation. Kids universally need these things to help build them up and give them what they need so they too can have it all.
My guest today is Shaun Banks (SF. to his friends). He has committed his life to the personal development of youth. He is a motivational speaker, a 3-time author, and the founder of multiple programs and conferences all geared towards empowering youth to have it all.
In this episode, we’ll discuss:
- What brought SF. to working with the youth today
- How SF. created many different opportunities to give motivation, love, and inspiration to countless kids around the world
- How COVID-19 increased the challenges kids were facing
- The obstacles SF. needed to overcome when first starting out on his entrepreneurial journey
- And much more!
If there’s someone that you know who is just starting on their entrepreneurial journey, please share this episode with them. Together, we’ll change the world on our own terms, we’ll question everything, and we won’t just accept what is being handed to us and what we’ve been told to be true.
And be sure to leave us a review wherever you’re listening. Thanks for joining me on this ride, and enjoy my conversation with SF!
