Beloveds! This week on #MindOverMatterPod, I got a chance to sit down with two of my friends from high school, Desma Nicholson and Webster Chatman who recently tapped into the Tech Industry and started their own Cloud Infrastructure company, (All Gateway Networking Business), along with a few other friends from high school. With Desma and Webster being former athletes, we discussed how both of their athletic careers came to an end and what they did to prepare themselves for it, the importance of being authentic while code switching, Desma receiving advice from his current boss on how to start his own IT company, how the idea for their Cloud Infrastructure company came about, and more. Please press play and tune in.

The conversation you bring will either keep you at the table or get you excused from the table. You choose. Please press play and enjoy.
