Episode 105: This week’s episode is really special to me! I had to honor of being the commencement speaker at Penn State. This was one of the most incredible, exciting, anxious experiences that I ever had and not because I was the commencement speaker for graduation but I was going back to speak my alma mater. Where it all kind of started for me as a full circle moment. I recorded the entire commencement speech that I gave to the graduating class of 2023 at Penn State. If you just for a moment close, your eyes while listening to this or if in a quiet place, then you can receive this timeless message.

 

I want to dedicate this speech to the people I couldn’t have done this early journey in my career without: My Mother Fatima Sarr, Chuck James known as “Mr. James”, and my first-grade teacher, Jean Meyers, Mrs. Melissa Doberstein, The Dickinson Family, Jim McKendrick, Teresa Coffey, Karen Campbell, Jamie Campbell, Dr. Kirsch, Donna Meyer, Christian Brady, Robert Novack, Greg Pierce, the Schreyer Staff and Dr. Nichola Gutgold.
