-A Must-Listen Conversation on Resilience, Legacy, and Leadership- What does it take to persevere when the odds feel insurmountable? To keep going when the path ahead seems uncertain? In a deeply moving episode, Nathan A. Stuck, MBA of?B Local Georgia?sits down with our President & CEO,?Jay Bailey, to explore the grit, vision, and determination it takes to create something that transcends the present and leaves a lasting legacy. In Jay’s words: "If you've never been on your back, I don't know if you've ever really seen the sun... For all that my ancestors have endured to have me in this place right now, I just feel like I don't have the right to fail." From overcoming challenges to building RICE into a hub of innovation and opportunity, Jay’s journey is a testament to what it means to dream big, stay resilient, and honor the sacrifices of those who came before us.

Last night, I was able to attend the launch of Ekaette Kern's book, The Colors of Me. It will go down as one of my favorite things about 2024 that my publishing company, Ripples Media, was able to be a part of helping Ekaette produce such a beautiful and important piece of literature. I even brought my youngest son to be a part of the event (which, funny story, he'd never experienced valet parking before, so when we got out of our car and the guy got in and started to drive away, he FREAKED OUT.) ?? I hope you'll consider buying a copy or two (or a handful, as I did, to give them as holiday gifts this year!) -> https://lnkd.in/g7QF-avk
