“My work gives me life.” – Rodney C. Burris   Today’s featured author from Baltimore is international speaker, youth advocate, and professional development coach, Rodney Burris. Rodney and I talk about the power of your mind, why complacency is carbon monoxide to your growth, and tons more!!   Key Thing’s You’ll Learn: Why you must be careful about the stories that mainstream media portrays. Why your mind is powerful and why you must be careful of what you put into it. Why complacency is a silent killer. Why you must be careful of the words you speak. Why it’s integral to understand who you are pitching to.   Rodney’s Site: https://rodneycburris.com/ Rodney’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3ARodney+C+Burris&s=relevancerank&text=Rodney+C+Burris&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1   The opening track is titled "Wind Echo" by the magnanimous chill-hop master, Marcus D (@marcusd).
