What prompted you to want to be a motivational speaker?
As the founder and executive director of the Coalition for Peace of America, which is devoted to the task, I spoke to many at-risk youth and received so much positive results that I decided to continue speaking.

How important is it for one to look at their life and their surroundings?
It’s very important for one to look at their life and think of ways to improve it. Most of the time one fails because of behavior and lifestyle, not because of their surroundings. One can be in a room with people gossiping, but doesn’t mean one has to participate in the gossiping. Life is just choices and all about being successful and happy. One will most likely achieve both with right decision making.

Do you have any plans to write more books?
Right now, I’m working with individuals that have book ideas and looking into releasing my new book, Beyond the Worst, an inspirational story of three lawyers whom are going through hardship, but overcome it to live happier lives. Check out my website for the release date.

Any upcoming speaking events, book signings or appearances that you can share with us?
I have no events scheduled for the next month, but is planning a few surprise appearances in October. Just go to my website to request an event, signing or appearance!

What is the one most important thing you have learned about life, people and the world around you that you would wish to tell our readers?
Live every day the best I can, and treat my surrounding the way that I want to be treated and respected. Readers are sometimes pessimistic about new authors, so I just ask readers to check out my website and give my works a chance beyond any perception. Thank you for the interview!
