We recently connected with FERRELL SURETTE JR and have shared our conversation below.
FERRELL, we’ve been so fortunate to work with so many incredible folks and one common thread we have seen is that those who have built amazing lives for themselves are also often the folks who are most generous. Where do you think your generosity comes from? When I was a child I had nothing. Being that I came from a broken home filled with domestic violence and at times no family income I had to make do with what I had. It was a struggle but I was able to overcome the challenges. That being said as I grew older I found I had a talent that could be valuable to the community and began finding inspiration all around that allowed me to grow my knowledge and share my experiences with others.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself? …
