My Bond.... My Word.....

In the course of a lifetime you are allowed limited opportunities to build strong bonds with others. I consider myself blessed because I was able to recognize that certain people in my life are really genuine. I grew up believing that I was only supposed to be nice to people that I have known all my life. This thinking caused me to be a step behind a lot of things that was going on around me. Once I started to really give people a chance, I began to notice how much I was missing. There are a couple of people that were beneficial in my mental growth. Jazz McBride gave me the knowledge I needed to become an entrepreneur and start Progress Driven. I maintained the dream and believed that it would happen but I never had a resource to point me in the right direction and for that I'm forever grateful to him. My relationship with Brandon (The Upscale Live, the other half of The Lifestyles In High Definition) has been the most influential in my growth. He brought about a philosophy of product branding, atmosphere, and most of all socialization. Our bond is unbreakable, in my eyes he is like a brother and for that I'm forever grateful to him. The relationship I made with Jarvis was one that started in 1994. We were close in school but there was still a division that lingered. Once I was approached about joining the little league coaching staff with him I took it as an opportunity to coach and reconnect with a close friend. This relationship has taught me to go on the heart of a man and if he is being straight up with you then it is your duty as a man to return the favor. For that I am forever grateful to him.
