Dr. Avis Jones-DeWeever is an award-winning author, global speaker, media commentator, and the 7-figure CEO of Media to MILLIONS.
Have you ever had a “burn the ship” kind of moment?
Listen in as Dr. Avis tells us about what she calls her “burn down the ship” moment when, on the heels of leaving her husband to become a single mom of two, she voluntarily left what she’d thought was her dream job even though she had no idea where she was headed next. Listen in to hear why she decided to quit, and how her innate confidence reassured her the right next step would appear.
We talk about her childhood and the determination that was instilled in her by her father who’d survived the Jim Crow south to become a successful Black entrepreneur. And you’ll hear about the twists and turns Dr. Avis took along her path to become a 7-figure entrepreneur who now is ushering in a new generation of Black millionaires.
You’ll also learn how Dr. Avis, in addition to shepherding clients to success and normalizing Black abundance, has passed her legacy on to her son who recently closed his first million-dollar deal at just 27 years of age.
