The Professional Winner Podcast was created by Jonathan Conyers to motivate and uplift people. It was also created to give a voice to the unheard and to provide a safe space for all people. Such a cliche right? Well let’s break down what that term Professional Winner means to him. His whole life he wanted to be an entrepreneur. That term meant so much to him and it symbolized freedom. Free to travel, free to escape the harsh reality of the world. Being free from judgment and just being able to have ownership and live the American dream that he knew people from his community rarely ever get the chance to have. However, as he got into the business world it just seemed like the term was just getting more and more diluted. Money was all that mattered. People who really didn't have that confidence and risky type of personality that's needed to be in this business world still used the term. The term was just starting to be used so freely and it was upsetting. So he started saying he’s not an entrepreneur, he’s a Professional Winner. Instantly he felt better and he thought the term had more value to it. Jonathan also elaborated on what the term Winner meant. It had nothing to do with likeness, financial freedom, or coming in first place -- it had to do with believing in yourself. It had to do with taking Step 1 and putting yourself out there. Understanding that it's okay to be happy with where you are and being content is sometimes okay. Winners understand that sometimes you have to lose and that sometimes no matter what life throws at you - the fight continues. If you're reading this or listening to the trailer just know that you are a Professional Winner and we hope you come on this journey with us.
