In this final episode of 2022, Marc and Tavarus discuss their personal concepts of wealth. They are starkly different, and this episode highlights the balance their unique opinions strike. They answer questions like:
What is wealth?
Is it a number?
What are we actually working towards when pursuing wealth?
Why wealth? Whose dream are we really chasing?
Is wealth even a conversation worth having?

THIS ONE WILL CHANGE THE GAME!

In this episode, Marc and Tavarus discuss the importance of having the right circle of influence around you and the right people in your corner, at the right time, and for all the right reasons.

There's a popular statement used by large corporations and successful people around the world, and it reveals one of the secretes to success. The statement goes like this, "No one gets there alone". So true! We've heard for years that "it's not always about what you know, but who you know"! There's so much packed in that one statement, and the goal of this episode is to help unpack it, and give practical steps as to HOW to apply this truth to ones life. We firmly believe that growth happens in community. Elevation thrives in relationships with others who fall in one of 3 categories of your "Developmental Network". Those levels are:

1. Peers
2. Mentors
3. Sponsors

Each of these levels are absolutely necessary for growth, development and expansion. They work perfectly in tandem with each other, yet one doesn't yield "best hopes" without the other.

Here are a few great articles that also provide deeper insight on what it means to have a strong Developmental Network:

I'm sure we'd all agree (or most of us over the age of 25) that MANHOOD in America (and around the world for that matter) is about as clearly defined as mud.

In this episode, Marc and Tavarus dive into another rich conversation around the topic "Manhood and Mentorship". What exactly is a man? What defines a man these days? Does that definition change  based on the culture, generation, gender expression, social expectations, or stage of life? Or are there certain unquestionable characteristics or values that help determine what makes a man a MAN, or not?  

What's a mentor and what's his/her role in helping a "MAN" become a "MAN"? We promised we'd share with you the origin of the word "mentor", and it can be found here https://www.growthmentor.com/blog/origin-of-word-mentor/

Marc and Tavarus both serve as positive male role models for many of the youth in the city of Jacksonville; most of which come from hard places. Marc's own son, Jemari, is his first and most important investment. Tavarus serves with other local non-profit organizations helping to shape young men into "MEN OF TOMORROW"!

SO, what defines a man? Well, listen down to what the fellas have to say about it. Please, comment, share, and be sure to follow the 2 Men 1 Mic Podcast on all podcasts outlets, and on social media @2men_1Mic! We out!!!
