Acerca de esta escucha
Every inner-city kid grows up with big dreams. However, as they grow older, those dreams are replaced by harsh reality. A realization that life is hard, unfair, and cruel.
In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, fast money and pro sports are thought of as the only ways to be successful. Jovante Ham knew he wanted to be successful, so he had to choose one of the two. Training hard and giving it his all, he went for football. But once his collegiate sports career did not work, he decided to try the only other way he knew how - fast money.
The fast money route was a dangerous one, filled with bad intentions and high risk, but one that led him straight to God. Not sure why he was spared a life of misery and incarceration, he decided to turn things around and be the man God intended him to be.
In The Hood Scholar, Ham candidly discloses his life experiences of how he made it from one of the roughest areas in America to becoming the CEO of a multi-million-dollar technology company and everything he went through to make it there.
He tells the story blood-raw with real-life examples that anyone can relate to. The ultimate goal of this memoir is to give hope and guidance to anyone who is going through a rough patch and remind them that where you come from doesn’t have to dictate where you end up in life.

Alex Toussaint is known for his grueling workouts where he promises “to kick your ass”–yet thousands keep coming back for more. Why? Because he might be the most motivational teacher out there right now. His mantra is “Feel good, Look Good, Do Better.” He expects more from you, and from himself. Yet so much of what he talks about is NOT about the bike.

We each have a destiny. Finding the courage to drive past the challenges, the pains, and even the shortcuts of life to the deeper purpose of living is to thrive in one's divine destiny. Most people have sensed destiny pulling them to just the right place or person. Whether it is the spouse you meet, the children you bear, or the promotion you receive, everyone has a purpose to pursue. Sometimes it is understanding our destiny that helps us accept what on the surface appears to be failure.

Fear of criticism has turned into a massive epidemic harder than ever to overcome. But it doesn't have to be that way. Through the Bible story of King David dancing naked in the streets while his distant, guarded, and critical wife watches from a window, Naked and Unafraid provides a visual contrast of these two characters that sheds light on the way we all approach life and explains how the fear of criticism impacts our lives much more than we realize or are willing to admit.

What can make the difference in your life today? How can two people with the same skills and abilities, in the same situation, end up with two totally different outcomes? Leadership expert John C. Maxwell says the difference maker is attitude. For those who have ever wondered what may be separating them from achieving the kind of personal and professional success they’ve always dreamt of, Dr. Maxwell has some words of insight: “Your attitude colors every aspect of your life. It is like the mind’s paintbrush.”
