Dr. Gregory Orlando Haughton a world renowned retired athlete, is a three-time Olympic Medalist, World Champion, Goodwill Games Champion, and Pan American Games Champion. He received his PhD in Business Management from North Central University, and utilizes his vast athletic and academic experience and knowledge to assist individuals to implement their own unique system to achieve personal success by transforming their minds. He has experienced the joys of being on top and the frustrations when one fails to reach a career or personal goal. He understands that adversity can bring out the best in an individual. However, he also believes that experience is not always the best teacher. Experience has taught him that without the right support and guidance to deal with many of life's challenges, the path to achieving success is a formidable one. Growing up in the inner city, his lived experiences taught him how to convert negative circumstances into motivational catalysts to overcome them. The most defining personal moments of his life are: overcoming poverty in Jamaica, receiving an athletic scholarship to the University of Arizona, overcoming personal odds of receiving his PhD after his wife was diagnosed with colon cancer and died leaving him to raise their two and seven-year old daughters. He is enthusiastic about sharing his philosophy and athletic accomplishments, while teaching his success principles to those who desire athletic advice and professional guidance, in their sports and life. He inspires individuals to achieve their highest potential by tapping into the reservoir of their mind to retrieve the truth that lies within them. He mentors individuals to become emotional and psychological aware in order to deal with life's challenges, along with intentional actions that manifest positive results. He strongly believes that with hard work and the right guidance, one will recognize the true leader within; but must first liberate themselves from old realities or justifications that prevent them from reaching their highest potential. Dr. Haughton's philosophy has helped him to make a positive difference in the lives of many. He knows that successful individuals rarely make it on their own; they succeed because they enlist the help and experience from individuals who can lead, guide, counsel, motivate and provide key techniques, and strategies. In his off time, he enjoys time with his family, reading, cooking and outdoor activities. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ianandeian/message

When you talk about suceess and deep conviction you have to talk about a dub poet by the name of Yasus Afari. Born "John Sinclair" in a small village in the parish of St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, where life was hard and every day survival was a struggle. His mother was his only inspiration after his bigger brother left home to join the Police Force. He always mentioned how is mother used to pray and encouraged him to work hard so that they could lead a better life. He passed his common Entrance exam and went off to St. Elizabeth Technical High School. He did excell and was a major influence on his peer group. After STETHS he went on to work with the Jamaica Telephone company as a repair Technician but soon find out that there was more to life than climbing telephone poles. He won a scholarship to the College of Arts Science and Technology where a whole new world open up. At college he majored in telecommunications and was a revolutionist against how the system was administered. He participated in all aspect of student life and was a role model for all the students in that era. He was elected Vice president of the Student Council but was denied to serve because of his positive and anti comformative values. This was a major awakening for him and he did some soul searching and that is when he knew he had the calling to do good for the masses. He vowed that he will fight the injustices of the society and bring about conciousness to all the people that would listen to what he has to say. The social and political climate during this time was rough. Maurice Bishop got killed in Genada, Bob had just died, and so much was happening in the political arena that most youths were looking for a concious vibe. Yasus began doing concerts at the local students union, The University of the West Indies at Mona, The Nursing School and Teachers Colleges. The response was like a shock wave and everyone was taking about Toni Taam as he was fondly called then. He did a several shows with then up coming stars as well as established Artistes. His first song was realeased in 1986 during this time Yasus went into a period of meditation and isolation while writing consistently. Yasus began to emerge and by joining partnership with other up coming artist he began to see a light at the end of the tunnel. He met up with Garnet Silk, who was also is childhood friend, and they began to work on a few songs together. On one of his birthday's he was hanging out with Garnet and he wrote the first line of "I can see clearly". Garnet went on to finish the song and also wrote "I saw Zion........." All this led to a tighter relationship with Silk that gave him the inspiration to write "Nothing can divide............" Yasus and Garnet still have unproduced songs laid out on tracks, to be published when the time is right. Things started to look up and Yasus teamed up with Maxi Priest to write "Work" which appeared on his "Dance Hall Baptism" (Senya-Cum/Ras Records). Mental Assasin was done on Tappa Zuki label. He has since then recorded with a whole host of musicians including Everton Blender, Black Uhuru, General Degree, Tony Rebel and more who he has also produced. The achievements go far and wide and he was awarded Dub Poet of the year in 1993 in a controversial decision. At the ceremony the award was given to the well known Mutabaruka. Muta refused to accept this award and made it explictly clear that it should be given to Yasus. Yasus went on to win more awards and was also honored in Chiago by Martin International for Dub Poeb of the year in 1994 and Yasus was honored many times by the Jamaican Music Federation. The list of recognition goes on and Yasus always says it is a great honor to recognized for all his work. Touring with Black Uhuru, Yasus was creating a cultural revolution on a world-wide basis, starting in the US covering 26 States and the Pacific Islands. He was also in Brazil where the fans open heartedly responed to his message. #realtalkianandeian --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ianandeian/message
