When Life Gives You Lemons...

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On this week’s episode of IMPACT, host Meghan Walker is joined by two guests -- John Jackson who works for Hustle 2.0, an organization that helps people who are incarcerated in the U.S. through holistic rehabilitation, and Sammy Taggett, entrepreneurial wizard and founder of Evolved Podcasting.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sammy Taggett began his entrepreneurial journey in humble beginnings, starting out as a door-to-door salesperson and even working as a mint-and-napkin guy in a nightclub bathroom. It was in this unlikely setting that he seized the opportunity to become a DJ and learn about inspiring and educating people as an entrepreneur. According to Sammy, one key to success is finding your "zone" and building a supportive team around you. He also stresses the importance of having big dreams, having fun, and seeking out supportive individuals.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">John Jackson, on the other hand, had a difficult upbringing. His mother was murdered at a young age, and he ended up living with his aunt, a drug dealer. In order to save her from incarceration, John took the rap for her and spent many years in prison as a gang member. After being released, he now helps younger people who have been in prison by teaching them leadership, resilience, and determination, leading them down a path of positivity and purpose.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite their different backgrounds, both Sammy and John are inspiring examples of how to turn difficult circumstances into a new and better life through self-belief and a focus on the possibilities around them.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don't miss this empowering episode filled with insights and lessons on how to turn challenges into opportunities.
