What’s up Movers?! We had SO much fun creating this episode. Once again, I decided to run Facebook LIVE as I recorded the podcast. Simultaneously, I opened up my Zoom room (via http://zoom.us) and invited ANYONE tuning in via Facebook to hop on and be on the show. One brave soul jumped out, and I had the chance to have an impromptu conversation with the one and only Dr. Blake Brandes - host of the AWESOME podcast, Motivational Millennial. Dr. Blake Brandes is a youth motivational speaker, hip-hop educator, music producer, and student leadership expert. Blake received his PhD in Hip-Hop and Global Youth Cultures from the University of Kent.

This allows him to effectively convey the value of academics, passion, and other tools of success that will help teens achieve their goals. Throughout the episode we chat about the following: • The Law of Assumption and the role it plays in your life • Why Imagination and Attention are two of your highest ‘mental faculties' • Why you have less ‘free will’ than you think • How to use the free will that you do have to manifest lasting change in your life You’ll want to make sure you listen all the way to the end as Dr. B wraps this up with a sweet surprise.
