In this episode, we talk about what you can expect in our first season and why we decided to call our podcast "Bootstraps". Bootstraps aims to discuss how people who surmounted difficult environments and challenges were able to achieve success. Not in spite of their adversity, but because of it.  

We will have inspiring guests that range from entrepreneurs and tech trailblazers to someone who grew up in Compton and went on to win the Rhodes Scholarship. We will highlight the story of someone that went from a wealthy owner of 7 homes to someone who lost it all and then several years later was able to achieve even more wealth. We will also have conservations with accomplished producers and a leader in the non profit world.  

Through these stories, we will have conversations about the inflection points and dive into how they got to where they are today. We will draw out actionable insights into these stories and present applicable resources. Every conversation or discussion may not be relevant to you, but often times many of us do not have access to these conversations in our everyday lives. This leads to us having a sample of jobs, careers or opportunities that are finite and not inclusive of the diverse world we live in. Through this podcast, we want to highlight and unlock new realities you may not have heard of before and bring these conversations to your everyday lives. 

Bootstraps is not about one person achieving success in isolation. It is a community that understands that success is a team sport and requires all of us doing our part to help those that are on the same journey. 

We will discuss a myriad of topics such as business, financial literacy and wealth, education, arts, fitness, health and wellness, mental health and will not stray away from tough conversations.
