About this episode

Have you ever felt like you’ve hit a wall in your life? Like you don’t know exactly what you want to do, but you know what you’re doing isn’t it? Eric Thomas grew up in a world that was against him from the start in a lot of ways. At a young age, he found himself homeless and living with no real direction until he realized he had to make a change.

Today, he’s known as ET “The Hip Hop Preacher,” and is a world-renowned speaker, educator, pastor, and audible.com Audie Awards Finalist. He’s taken the world by storm with his creative, common-sense approach to living a successful, satisfying professional and personal life. He joined me for an incredible conversation that will have you ready to run through your walls and break the glass ceilings in your life.

Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
Daily Motivation for African-American Success by Dennis Kimbro
