Who are you outside of what you do? If things went out of your plan, how would you face life and remain on the winning path?   We may make our plans, but God has the final say, and He directs our paths. The human mind has a finite ability to determine the future. However, we can never envisage certain circumstances that the future might give us, such as accidents and mistakes. When bumping into the misfortunes of life, most of us often get discouraged and drown ourselves in all of the negative thoughts, thinking we're a failure. But let us realize that we are more than what we do.    Since we don't have a hold of the future, we must consider preparing ourselves for what lies ahead. For instance, on the athletic field, athletes may encounter an injury that could alter their career or maybe lead to early retirement. Therefore, we must figure out who we are and who we can be outside our expertise. Moreover, we must treasure every opportunity we have and never use our platforms for selfish ambitions. Despite our troubles, we must not focus on gaining but on adding value to people around us because, as we do, we make ourselves more valuable in their lives. As our guest speaker said, "whatever you're going through in life, in the middle of your mess, don't miss your message."   Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr. is an athlete, author, inspirational speaker, entrepreneur, and certified Athlete Mental Health advocate. He is the founder and creator of Sports Life Business. Derrick saw himself as another kid who wanted a better life and knew sports, particularly football, would serve as a vehicle to a better life. After growing up with much adversity, he began working towards shifting his perspective from a temporary experience of playing on the field to a permanent purpose of serving those who currently and formerly played sports. Today, Derrick travels across the United States, sharing his story with the hope of empowering others never to yield when facing adversity. He is a proud graduate of the University of Tennessee, earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Legal Studies and his Master of Science degree in Sports Psychology.   In this special episode with Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr., we'll learn about a man who grew up in a challenging environment. It gave him a winning edge in work, mindset, and preparation far from the norm. He will be sharing with us his inspiring journey of how he overcome the unpleasant habit of focusing on selfish ambitions, purpose, and goals.    "Whatever you're growing through, it's preparing you for where you're going. So, you have to realize that where you're at, you have not always been there and where you are, you don't have to necessarily always stay there." -Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.   Topics Covered: (00:00:00) Introduction + Episode Snippet (00:00:16) Introducing our special guest, Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr. (00:00:30) Advertisement: Obtain financial freedom with passive income!

(00:34:18) Transition Formula: Takeaway + Correlate + Carry over = Successful transition (00:35:46) Connect with Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.   Key Takeaways:   "When nobody doesn't know you, you can set your expectations of yourself and create your work ethic and mindset." -Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.   "I went from being on a map to being completely irrelevant. Now it's back at ground zero with no offers, no opportunities, and nothing at the table with me. That was the wakeup call that shook me because that wasn't in my plans." -Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.   "And I remember the Lord saying, I gave you that stage for glorifying my kingdom, and you used it for your selfish ambition, purpose, and goals. So, I had to take that away to get your attention." -Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.   "I remember our first coach said, "look to your right, look to your left, half of you all won't be here when it's time to graduate." -Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.   "Not focusing on my purposes and goals and just working on adding value to those I was associated with and with whom I was associated. And that was the biggest blessing in disguise when I stopped focusing on myself." -Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.   "If all left fails and this next level doesn't work out, the game has given me some tangible transferable skills that I can apply in my life after sports." -Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.   "A lot of athletes could have success in their life after sports if they are to figure out what those intangible transfer of skills is." -Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.   "A lot of times, it's figuring out who you are outside of what you do. Because as an athlete, at first you never have to think about who you are outside of what you do." -Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.   "There's no way any athlete should transition into life after sport without having a transition formula. And it was pretty simple figuring out all those things that you were good at, good, bad, ugly, indifferent. What can you take away from all those lessons the game gave you?" -Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.   "The moment you start adding value and giving people what they want, you start getting the things you want." -Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.   "Whatever you're going through in life, in the middle of your mess, don't miss your message." -Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.   Connect with Mr. Derrick Furlow Jr.: Website: https://derrickfurlow.com/; https://www.sportslifebusiness.com/order-form27970028 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sportslifebusiness Twitter: https://twitter.com/DerrickFurlowJr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/derrickfurlowjr/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrickfurlowjr/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClB_lOzchtq5AflRwOG0p4Q/featured    Connect with Dr. Derrick Burgess: Website: https://www.drderrickthesportsdr.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drderrickthesportsdr/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeOut.SportsDr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrick-burgess-72047b246/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHGDu1zT4K_X6PnYELu8weg Email: thesportsdoctr@gmail.com   This episode of TimeOut with the SportsDr. is produced by Podcast VAs Philippines - the team that helps podcasters effectively launch and manage their podcasts, so we don't have to.

Organizations must have conversations around DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion. If these essential values are not present as part of a corporate vision, mission, and strategy, the path to success gets narrower. Verizon's Magda Yrizarry, Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer, Harry Furlow, Director of HRBP, and Mark Tina, VP-Business Sales for Midmarket East, spoke with Michelle Dawn Mooney about the importance of DEI in companies today. Yrizarry said that Verizon understands its responsibility toward strengthening diversity, equity, and inclusion amongst its thousands of employees and the millions of customers they serve. “It's not a program; it's not a moment; it really is an expression of who we are.” Sensitivity training with employees around DEI makes an organization a place of belonging and where people can unleash their potential and productivity. “In terms of equity and inclusion, we created an environment where it became part of our DNA to create more awareness of equity and inclusion,” Furlow said. “One of the things that we decided to do is share examples of what inclusion is and what good looks like.” Tina said that creating allies is a must for strengthening these core values. “You don't necessarily need to fit the profile of the group you may be advocating for or helping to support.” People want to help but sometimes feel they cannot if they don't belong to a particular group. But Tina stressed the importance of using one's platform to amplify a cause, regardless of any direct affiliation. To propel these values and ensure diversity, equity, and inclusivity, Verizon maintains an employee resource group. “I found a community of people who, quite frankly, taught me a lot because the membership is across business groups,” Yrizarry said. “It's a place where you can onboard, connect into, grow, learn, and network.”

Farscape 3·14: Daedalus Demands: Infinite Possibilities, Part 1 An unknown race has developed wormhole technology using John's data, and the Ancient isn't happy... “An old friend with dire warnings. An old acquaintance with catastrophic tech. An old evil with a dangerous alliance. An old internal struggle with lethal stakes.

Oh the places Crichton's lips will go!” (thanks MatthewB!) “Welcome to Furlow's repair and module shop where we can fix anything for a price, except for food cubes. If you have something that needs a fixing we can do it or better yet come on in to trade it in for something better. Hot off the shop room racks a new module with a super experimental Wormhole Drive. This baby is so hot both the Scarrans and Peacekeepers want it. Come get it before it gets shoot up, blown up, or better yet sold! Come on down and with each module, I only got the one, I'll throw in a pair of sun goggles.” (thanks Blackrain !) “Mind reading aliens return as does someone with lots of mottos who's excited for the return of her favourite flyboy and the half blind lead the blind.” (thanks Lucy !) “Wormholes, Harvey and Johnny boy - it's the return of the greatest love triangle, who will wine and dine, and win this rollercoaster of a ride? Or will they just run home crying to Daddy?” (thanks Vicster!) “Nothing like working on the car with your dad under the hot summer sun!

It only took the video recording of the murder of a(nother) Black man to go viral for the entire world to realize the United States of America has a systemic racial issue. We wish we were joking. There is a… silver lining here though, America is now proudly “woke”, right? The thing is, to the affected communities, this awakening is a bit of a slap in the face, but hey, no hard feelings, if you're willing to do the work to earn the title “ally” or “anti-racist”. In today's episode of From Woke to Work, Kamala is joined by Sherice Torres and Barbara Furlow-Smiles, two empowered leaders who live, eat and breathe being Diversity & Inclusion, to chat all about awareness and why it is just the tip of the iceberg in the anti-racist journey. With awareness, comes education. Just a little warning, it ain't pretty. Future allies have to master the art of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, and build their resilience for real talk on race if they are truly committed to changing the world. Are you newly aware? Good! Now it is time for the real work!  Jump straight into: (0:45) - Your collective awareness is not enough, so please listen closely -  “You should hold space for what you are feeling, but you need to focus on your Black colleagues, because while you are feeling it, they have been living it.” (13:52) - If you're doing it for praise and recognition, you better just take a seat - “Allyship, just like sponsorship has to be earned. It's that bridge from awareness to action, what makes the difference in who truly is an ally or not.” (17:10)  - The role of educational learning as an entryway to authentic understanding - “At the end of the day, what we're trying to get is empathy. It's like ‘walk in my shoes!'.” (21:14) - On Search for Racial Equity - “The first step in anyone's entire racism journey is education. You have to educate yourself, it's not going to your black friend or your black colleague and asking them to share their experience.” (28:11) - More real talk, less sugar coating - “A lot of people don't want to hear the truth of their people, but we have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.” Resources Follow Sherice on https://www.instagram.com/equalpartsjoy (Instagram) and https://twitter.com/EqualPartsJoy (Twitter) Follow Barbara on https://www.instagram.com/barbsmilez/ (Instagram) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-bSYrj3AaE&list=PLGGpadyh0wS7Pfvyqwip2_1zzjj9l-Ai- (The Search for Racial Equity ) https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/14/magazine/1619-america-slavery.html (The 1619 Project)  Thanks for tuning in!
