Concrete Genius Media
‘Sauce Mackenzie’ was born in Gary, Indiana within a community that encouraged him to pursue his wants and desires at a young age. Unfortunately, his own recklessness would lead him into learning the hard lessons of such a pursuit, causing him to forfeit his freedom in the early stages of his manhood. As the deception of his will would force him to repay his debt to society behind bars, he would formulate a plan to repay that debt in full by honoring not only the future generation, but also his beloved mother who had passed away without ever seeing her son make it to the right side of liberty. Today, Sauce is here to share his story on how he evolved from a man running on empty to a man whose cup is running over. From street ordinary to extraordinary streets, this man is an example of what it means to turn a willful error into an era of prosperity. He is now a family man, business man, entrepreneur, coach, mentor, community leader, volunteer, and a token to the evolution of a young black man. Prepare yourself to enter into the mind of a strategist, and to join the conversation of how a change begins with you.
