In this edition I’m breaking down my experience on the USS Ronald Reagan as a guest of the US Navy*. After spending a few days at sea with the men and women dedicated to the freedom of our nation, I discovered this is a military branch full of great experiences, leadership opportunities, education and financial enrichment to help you accelerate your life towards your dreams. Thanks again to the US Navy and the incredible staff at Global Hue* for inviting me to a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Although this is a special episode to share my experiences and bring awareness to this fantastic option for your future, I’ve wrapped my commentary in the best soul and progressive hip hop in the world. It’s my hope that my words evoke interest while the music evokes head-nodding, rump shaking and / or good vibes and you head into the weekend.

Happy Friday and thank you so much for listening!
